Hellblade is so boring...

Its a GAME guys...
GAME

 

[jshackles]

So like the first game, they want you to play through this chicks therapy session. So fun!

 

[Krieger]

LMAO, they again show "how me made Setsuna" instead of the game.

 

[Jigsaah]

I'm kinda hoping we aren't just seeing combat in these darkened arenas. You got a really nicely crafted world and landscapes, I'm hoping the fights are more like what it was with that giant.

 

[Sacred]

Such an embarrassment from the majority of people, everytime these events happen.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

5 hour game that's taken them 5 years to make.

 

[Mr Moose]

Historically accurate, except for all of this shit. Lets look at some giants.
Another game that looks like it has nice DoF but it looks a bit meh on this because of macroblocking.

 

[GHG]

Looks the same as the first.

 

[Represent.]

looks fucking GREAT

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Hellblade 2 will be exactly what 1 was... and while I liked it, it had a very bland forgettable gameplay. i dont remember anything about actually palying it.
this seems identical and even more pretentious... idk if I will play it just for graphics.

I am confident saying, plague tale requiem is probably better

If HB2 is similar to HB1 it'll be:

Primary focus: Unskippable cut scenes and lots of acting and dialogue

Secondary focus: Graphics

Last focus: Gameplay

 

[nikos]

this makes Avoved look like a game that was a good idea in 2008

At least it was once a good idea. Psychosis simulator is fucking stupid.

 

[LordCBH]

Hellblade 2 is very pretty. But everything else about it looks like ass. Just like the first game.

 

[EruditeHobo]

Don't really care about the motion capture behind-the-scenes... for me this just looks like a worse version of God of War. Not really into it.

 

[danklord]

Personally, I love short, narrative focused games that focus on mental illness. Sounds great!

 

[Carmen Winstead]

Shorter? lmao is this gonna be a 5 hour game? Feels like they making this since forever...

4 of those 5 hours will be walking and the other one the middest combat system of this gen.

 

[winjer]

The combat and puzzles were very bad in t5he first Senua.
I really hope they improved these things for this sequel. A lot.

 

[Interfectum]

They really don't want to show much on this game, do they.

 

[clarky]

That's what I am saying.
Forspoken is LEGIT good game. not only in comparison.

but Immortals of Aveum (which I am yet to play more) looks way better and it's combat is 10x more exciting than this avowed crap beating on 7yo lizards lol

Man, in a few years forespoken will be charged with historical crimes in the same league as Cosby and Saville

 

[Sacred]

5 hour game that's taken them 5 years to make.

The first game was 12 hours.. wtf are you talking about.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Hellblade looks good. Maybe it's because I played it in the dark, with headphones, while on edibles that really enhanced the experience, but I absolutely loved the first.

 

[LostDonkey]

Jesus Christ that CA is horrendous

 

[Tomeru]

So HB2 will be the new "ryse" after all.

 

[Bernoulli]

Is something wrong with the walking animation or POV?

 

[cormack12]

 

[Flabagast]

They are still showing us picture from their trip in Iceland lmao

 

[Jesb]

I was surprised ninja theory didn't just give Xbox their god of war after the good they did with heavenly sword. Should have built on that foundation instead of these boring ass games.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Where are the monsters? The giant?

 

[Evil Calvin]

Can't tell if Xbox fans are just unhappy with some of this or if they are Sony fanboys posting.

 

[dem]

Just show the fucking game!!

Fuck i hate Ninja Theory

 

[PSlayer]

they talk about anything but the gameplay. muh feelings this and that and nothing about how does it feel to play

 

[Interfectum]

Show... don't tell.

 

[FunkMiller]

The distinct lack of clear gameplay is telling… and not very encouraging.

 

[Bartski]

At least it was once a good idea. Psychosis simulator is fucking stupid.

go play some Mario

 

[Ogbert]

Hellblade feels like one of those projects where everyone involved has convinced themselves it's brilliant.

 

[LostDonkey]

Fast and deep.

Just how I like it.

 

[jshackles]

Can't tell if Xbox fans are just unhappy with some of this or if they are Sony fanboys posting.

This is making Xbox fans like me into Sony fanboys

 

[Badlucktroll]

It sort of feels like to me that MS just hobbled these developers they bought.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Avowed didn't do it for me.
Hellblade looks beautiful but where is the sustenance?

 

[LordCBH]

I legit am surprised Phil greenlit funding for this lol

 

[kiphalfton]

At least it was once a good idea. Psychosis simulator is fucking stupid.

Yeah, but all those people on reddit can now feel like they're playing a game that they can relate to.

 

[Rat Rage]

Hellblade is so boring...

Its a GAME guys...
GAME

No man, you don't understand... It's SO MUCH MORE than a GAME - it's an EXPERIENCE, a CINEMATIC WALKING EXPERIENCE!

 

[Faust]

Hellblade worked as a 2 hour little digital download.

This looks like the exact same thing, but with even less game. Its been 5 years and they can't even show more than a few seconds worth of total gameplay. At this point, why not just make it a show? This looks like an Until Dawn style experience, but with no choices.

 

[Snake29]

Hellblade 2

 

[Krieger]

"We all are Senua"

You all are mentally challenged?

 

[Represent.]

Short. Immersive. Visceral. High visual Fidelity.

Speaking my language.

No fluff all the casuals die over.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[March Climber]

To be fair, I generally like showcases and conferences, but this game is a wasted time slot. We know all we need to know about Hellblade 2. They keep showing more and more when at this point everyone is just ready for the game to release.

 

[Mr Moose]

Less talking, more gameplay.

 

[GHG]

Good lord stop talking.

 

[NikuNashi]

When did games stop being about fun and gameplay and more about feelings, 'lived experiences' and mental illness?
