The only game related store in town didn't get it today.. "Hopefully by Tuesday". And PSN seems to be under maintenence =(

 

[Acquiescence]

If I don't get this game through the letterbox tomorrow, I swear I will have the biggest hissy fit. This thread makes waiting almost impossible.

Time to Grunge!!!

 

[Carbonox]

Just received the special edition here in the UK - what a complete cheap out. Cardboard box, with a cardboard disc holder and not even a manual in sight. Even more frustrating when the Coles legacy dlc is meant to be preorder dlc for everywhere but the UK - total crap! Hoping the game makes up for it, can't help but feel like the SE was a total waste though.

Yeah I was quite disappointed by the box too. Could have given us the actual game case along with the beanie. There is fucking room in it afterall. Box is really flimsy as well.

Ah well.

Is the IQ as clean as Shadow Fall's? Or comparable considering SS is open world?

 

[Duxxy3]

The visual effects are great but the IQ is not that good, i know that im spoiled by High End PC but i cant stand FXAA (or the post process that they used for it) because it really blurs the image, other than that it´s a really pretty game.

Played Crysis 3 on my PC last year...

this looks better.

edit: yes, even better than killzone

 

[OnionPowder]

Just went at lunch and picked up my copy at GameStop. Ready to dive in after work. They were sold out of extra copies and the only ones they had left were pre-orders. Can't wait to see how many this game ends up selling.

seems on par with the SP of KZ but def crispier than the MP

 

[ieatzombies]

I'm loving the soundtrack of the game

Beanie high five!

 

[nhlducks35]

Why is it every time I buy a game on launch PSN can't sign in

 

[Frillen]

I'm not far but based off how much I've played the game is def better than the reviews would make you think.

How games like Ass Creed and Tomb Raider could have better reviews than this is beyond me. Seems to fit the trend of non Naughty Dog sony games being underrated by the media. If this games was multiplat i guarantee it would be closer to a 90 average

You're not that far in but you're in a better position to shape an opinion compared to reviewers who have beaten the game (some twice)? You're already worse than the reviewers.

Anyway, the metacritic (81) isn't that far from what I would've given it (I've only beaten the good path though). Personally I would rate it an 8.5 or something. And last time I checked an 8.5 means great. What AC has over inFAMOUS is that as an open world game it's a much meatier game. Second Son is definitely more polished though.

Ok cool. I meant the SP so that sounds great.

 

[jet1911]

The game is really fun, I should try to evade a liitle bit more though. I'm dying a bit too much lol

These make me feel better. I was concerned the settings on my tv were off in the initial area because of how dark everything looked.

That's HDR for you. The third person camera really act like a camera when there's a light source right in front of it. It's a nice effect I think.

When I was talking about the animations earlier.

That's the kind of thing I don't really expect in a "next-gen" game.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Just got my copy! Waiting for the update to download. I hate my shitty internet

 

[Figboy79]

I know! This thread is keeping me sane, though!

Fortunately, I have enough work to make the day fly by. It's already almost lunch time in an hour. Then just another 8 to go! *cries*

I don't need to be far to tell that the writing, gameplay mechanics, graphics, and presentation are shit ton better than those other 2 games. It's far more challenging too which is important in a videogame to me.

 

[andycapps]

Picked up my copy this afternoon at Best Buy. Gonna be at least 7 hours until I can play it though due to picking up my daughter at school, then my workouts, making dinner.. Man it sucks being an adult.

 

[darkwing]

Just got my copy! Waiting for the update to download. I hate my shitty internet

I bought the game digitally, took me a day, it was all worth it

Definitely the best PS4 game I've played so far, best game in the series

 

[Alienous]

I ... I want my copy.

Tesco, why hath you forsaken me?

 

[kitschbeam]

I really enjoyed the game so far. It's really fun to just messing around and traversing across the city feels fluid.

And for some reason I really like the graffiti missions.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

Anyone's Paper Trail Part 1 not connecting in game ? times-out every time.

 

[Hystzen]

Just got neon and I'm in love.

Best in series so far but I'm not a hug fan of the series so not sure my view is enough hype people

 

[mangochutney]

So I'm just about to pop this in and enjoy it - now this patch changes difficulty, is it making it harder?

 

[Hasney]

Ugh, it's crashed twice on me so far. May wait for a patch before I get too into it. Great before that though.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Here we go!

 

[darkwing]

Loving the comic book style cutscenes

 

[Nymphae]

Looks like it. Just got the game and I can't enter my code.

I continue to laugh at everyone who thinks all digital is a viable way to game on a console lol.

Edit: I realize I have no idea if you bought the game digitally, your comment just reminded me of the difficulty in downloading a popular title on launch day.

 

[BlackGhost]

Maybe spoilers? Betty

:lol the random calls from Betty

 

[Original Man]

story and characters are much better in this game and I'm only 30 min in!

 

[darkwing]

My thoughts exactly! It's a big leap from the previous games

Plus it looks so good O_O

 

[Muffdraul]

Do it!

DAMN my sense of responsibility!

Spoiler

I'll stay here at work for the rest of the day... posting on gaf. ;P

 

[ieatzombies]

As a drummer,

Spoiler

I can appreciate delsin's pat on his legs! I annoyed so many teachers and colleagues with this on itch!

As a seattle/oregon/northwest folk, it's really nailing everything. Taking off the honeymoon shades. This is a game that will be great on repeat playthroughs! Not to mention, I actually give a shit about the characters and story with just 30 minutes in!

 

[Bunta]

For those who thought the first core relay was weird:

Spoiler

Delsin walked up to it curious with his hand out, I'm assuming to touch it, and then automatically absorbed the power from it. So he didn't know what it was beforehand.

 

[Ryu751]

Game looks and feels great. I love the touch pad stuff. Gameplay is meh though. I liked Infamous, but didn't love it on PS3. I hate running from a battle to replenish powers kills the excitement.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

I'm loving the soundtrack of the game

I can't describe it well but when the guitar riff from the trailer kicks in while fighting enemies it's pretty sweet.

 

[antipod]

Finally it is released! (here in Sweden) And sadly I just had time to play as far as

Spoiler

the tunnel on the way to Seattle

before the hockey game started on TV.

Ahh well, there's a night to sit up and play during...

So far it has been really good. Really great graphics and the IQ is superb.

 

[rc6886]

I'd say the image quality is a lot better. Especially as far as effects, textures, lighting, particles, etc.

I mean the graphics were good, but I wasn't "wow'ed" when I was playing it. Although, that may speak more so to the art/level design of the games if anything. Killzone was pretty bland in that regard as I felt a lot of the levels were very generic, although it did have its moments as far as graphics are concerned.

And from what little I've seen of Second Son, Sucker Punch must have some amazing artists.

Exactly, this game is very polished and I'm still in the first hour lol

The icon on bottom right - don't tell me this has the motion sensor shit?

 

[jacksepticeye]

Really not that hard. Infamous 1 and 2 had awful characters

 

[Gazkapop]

I really shouldn't look through this thread. My resistance in not wanting to pay around £50 for it wears away more and more with every post I read.

 

[darkwing]

So many small details in the game, I'm just looking around at objects in the game

 

[Lucifon]

Does this game kick up the ps4 fans for anyone else?

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Edit: I realize I have no idea if you bought the game digitally, your comment just reminded me of the difficulty in downloading a popular title on launch day.

I bought it digitally all of the preorder and exclusive vest DLC was included with the main game download. The only bad thing about the process is that the it became available to download at 12:01 am pacific. I live in the Atlantic time zone so I had to set an alarm at 4am to download the game so it would be ready when I woke up. I really had no problems with the download.

 

[Dead Prince]

The icon on bottom right - don't tell me this has the motion sensor shit?

its like masturbation level of motion control

 

[omonimo]

Help. I'm stuck in the bus. What the hell I have to do?

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

I've played for a couple hours or so I think the spray painting side stuff is the only thing that uses the motion stuff.

 

[darkwing]

I'm using my V-Moda cans, sounds and music in the game are so good, can't hear the fans lol

 

[SniperHunter]

Does this game kick up the ps4 fans for anyone else?

my PS4 is very quiet. Not even BF4 kicks up the fans....but I usually play with headphones though
