I got this on the psn sale,coming to ps4 from x360 I never got to play this originally. And I just don't get it, did any one else have this problem and does it get better with time? Because so far it's shaping up to be the biggest dissapointment since gtaIV for me.
I really really want to like this game, I thought the intro was amazing, I love every second of it, I honestly wouldn't of minded a full game based on that, I liked the three characters a lot even though it was only half hour spent with them.
After that I feel like it's all gone downhill rapidly, the controls are atrocious, the stealth feels forced and I've lost all interest in the story.
The gameplay seems to consist of the following , walk around for half hour carrying boards and ladders around with maybe a quick time event, until you come to a slightly more open area with lots of conveniently placed waist high objects which look and feel completely out of place compared to the setting. Then throw some bottles around and strangle some cops and not zombies until they are all gone before carrying on. You can try shooting if you like but be prepared for some of the worst shooting in a 3rd person action game and you will just get jumped by a clicker anyway.
Then repeat the cycle.
I hate the three characters around at the moment (Joel, Ellie, and the stereotypical white woman who's name I can't remember.) I did like the firefly woman though, she seemed more human than any of the rest. I'm not finding the story interesting anymore, kind of lost it when Joel had turned into a pretty criminal banging a hooker or whatever was going on there.
Sorry to have just slammed a lot of people's favourite game and I'm really hoping it improves massively or I can't see me putting more than another 4/5 hours into this. I'm at the part where it's your first big encounter with 5/6 runners and a clicker in the collapsing building by the way, I tried it 2/3 times and kept dying, every time feeling like I was fighting against the controls more than the enemy's.
I'll end on a positive. I loved the into/prologue, it was one of my favourites in a long time, I loved the relationship of the 3 characters and all the chaos happening around them. I just wish for more of this later in the game to make me want to keep playing to find out what happens next.
