@frozenninja4030 28 дней назад

To be fair, the first Hellblade didn't have a lot of focus placed on the gameplay either. It was much more of an immersive 'experience' type game with some combat thrown in to keep it interesting while looking and sounding absolutely amazing. I would expect nothing less from the follow up. I have it installed from Game Pass and will dig into it at the first chance I get. Headphones Highly Recommended.

@UltravioletNomad 28 дней назад

Interactive movies are still video games, its just that A) the marketing and price need reflect that and B) the story and visuals need to make up for the lack of gameplay. And personally, I dont think the lack of a core challenge is an excuse to not use interactivity to tell your story. If a game has beautiful vistas that benefits from camera control and natural exploration then it needs to be damn good at leading the players eye naturally, and if it is then the experience has BENEFITED being interactive even if all you were doing was moving the camera. And Hellblade 1 had moments like that, where the characters senses go foggy and starts seeing symbols and your struggle to make sense of the noise and do its meager brutal combat sold the insanity. Im not saying if it succeeded or not, merely stating that was "The Point" as it were of the first and I assume the second... But uh honestly, for 50 dollars is still steep for that regardless of execution.

@ParadoxalDream 28 дней назад

How can the price be reflected when such games are the most expensive ones to make..? The economics don't make sense.

@ChicCanyon 28 дней назад

It really depends on how you define game. I wouldnt call a choose your own adventure audio book a game. Or the netflix black mirror episode. Visual novels arent games. You play them on a gaming console but theyre digital comic books fundamentally. Hellbalde i think has enough gameplay to be a game but there's definitely a threshold that at some point it ceases to be a game.

@scythelord 28 дней назад

The marketing and price do reflect that though.

@ChicCanyon 28 дней назад

@scythelord the claim here is the price doesnt. I kinda agree but kind dont. $50 is way too high for me on an afternoon or two. Years gone by this wouldbe a game you rented for $2 and beat over a weekend. Now gamepass makes it reasonable because ultimately you dont get gamepass FOR this game you get game pass for everything else and this just tags along. So like i said...i half agree

@rvodyssey9223 28 дней назад

I love games like hellblade. I am a little saddened that the run time is like 89 hours but it does remind me to a degree not exactly kind of like my playthrough of Alan Wake. What I mean by that is the gameplay elements like where there isn't a ton of enemies and you're walking around the story is way better in Alan Wake by far and it is one of my favorite horror game franchise building off of Alan Wake and now control. But I played it in Game Pass and I think a $50 price tag isn't bad for this type of game with the effort that was put into it. I do believe an 80/85 is the perfect rating for this game. It's crazy because when I look at this game I see nothing but potential of what games could be like down the road if they were a little more flushed out and a little more work was put into it. When it comes to the visuals of this game and the audio of this game it is to me unmatched by any other game. However that's the part that makes me sad because I feel like the rest of the game just isn't there with the gameplay and story or even length of the game. I'm in chapter 5 and I very unsure if there's a reason to have a playback after I finish it. Usually I never do playbacks to begin with but I did with hellblade but this one just seems like I've seen it all and that's all there is

The System Shock Remake just came out on consoles and I'm genuinely interested in it. However, it is technically a fairly old game and those games won't work that well for modern players (and console players), because the standard is very different nowadays. Can anyone tell me, how this version handles all of it? Is it still a good game worth playing? I've never played it, but I'm interested in giving it a try.

@VEN0M415 28 дней назад

I bought it a couple months ago on gog and its pretty good, definitely a game that doesnt hold your hand.

@G360LIVE 28 дней назад

If you have a PC, you can find a demo on GOG or Steam. My opinion, after playing the demo, is that I really like what I played, and the demo convinced me to buy the full game which is now in my backlog. For reference, I play a lot of FPS games with an Xbox controller, and I had no trouble with System Shock. It wasn't at all awkward or anything like that. The demo just pulled me right in, and I wanted more.

@SpeedbreakerNo1 28 дней назад

@@VEN0M415 I see. Thanks. So is it too difficult for modern players?

@@SpeedbreakerNo1 I'd set Cyber to 1, because the cyberspace just sucks, there's no point playing these sections on anything but easy IMHO.

@emptybodyfm 27 дней назад

I’ve noticed the almost all turn based games coming out within last 20 years are doing rather well with recent games like star ocean and paper Mario being latest ones. It seems that a lot of players are just rather tired of this action game trend already that’s made basically every game kinda feel and run like a hack and slash whatever is in front of you with lil to no strategy require that’s been cheapened even further with micro transactions at the ready to help you basically overcome anything for a small fee. I honestly really think we need to move back to more strategy and turn based combat system in games to bring back that feeling and immersion of having to figure out how to clear areas with puzzles and find enemy weakness that made the gaming experience what it used to be. Now you rarely hear anyone get stuck in a game puzzle or boss and if they do most the time they either drop the game for something else and never go back to it due to poor attention spans or lack of interest or at best look up a RU-vid guide. I think this is why hell divers 2 has done so well it does strategy and combat in a way a lot of games really don’t.

The gameplay for Hellblade 2 is meant to be this way as it is essentially a visual novel that is meant to be an experience vs an action game with in-depth mechanics. This kind of feels along the lines of some of the bad reviews I've seen in the mainstream media over the last few years. Example: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 where at least one outlet had a reviewer review the game who admitted in the review to not like RPGs. Unsurprisingly, his review was crap. It's hard with so many types of games these days, some of them clearly not for everyone, and the same set of folks are expected to review games they aren't going to like going into it because the genre itself turns them off.

I wasn’t expecting anything major over the last hellblade other than visuals. The executions are pretty nice, and the body damage is a nice touch when fighting enemies. Hellblade 2 is what I expected

Thankfully there already is a VR MOD for Hellblade 2. Played the first game in VR and want to play 2 in VR as well.

It sounds like Ninja Theory is the next studio on the chopping block for Microsoft. Taking this long to come out, with this kind of critique on the game. I do hope they will still make a decent profit when the cost and revenue come in. But how do you do that for something that goes to Game Pass on day one?

@alexanderharmony449 28 дней назад

Considering that the switch is arm based and we are finally getting a next gen console, after seeing this, I believe maybe yeah we can play Final Fantasy 16 on 30FPS and is likely the reason nintendo bought a porting studio for third party games.

If Spawn Wave was reviewed by IGN, he would get a 7 out of 10. The main complaint would be too much muscles.

Hellblade 2 sounds more like a tech demo, like The Order: 1886.

When you mentioned that kingdom hearts is coming to steam, i totally forgot they were on PC already. I now remember the announcement for PC release, but when it was announced to be exclusive for epic games launcher, i just remove the whole memory from my mind and stopped caring. Now hearing the games coming to steam make it feel like this is my first time hearing about the PC release.

I’ll never go back to Surface, I have a book 2, those things are horrible to draw with, they heat up a lot, can’t draw diagonal lines, they also auto updated to a point where the pen just stops working and you have to delete the driver and restart the surface every time. Meanwhile my iPad Pro has been a smooth experience for years now . And with the AI push screenshotting your PC? I’m out

@anthonyrizzo9043 28 дней назад

As much as hellblades visuals are great, i still have a problem with them. Too much post processing,its not a clean image at all, too much blur, too much grain, too much chromatic abberation, somewhere under there it looks amazing, but its hard to see.

Hellblade is supposed to be more of an experience than a game. That's what they delivered with the first one. Why anyone would expect that all of a sudden it would be more videogame than story, is beyond me.

We are already so far beyond the point of no return regarding privacy in our day to day lives. With that in mind, I have to say that I am very excited and intrigued by where we'll be with AI tech in the next 5-7 years. And I'm especially interested to see how it is utilized in gaming.

@mightylink65 28 дней назад

A monopoly on game reviews is a terrible thing, we've already seen some corruption in the review process with Starfield with every outlet calling it a masterpiece when it was far from it. All this is going to do is cause more anger among the gaming community when they buy a game based on reviews and get something completely different.

@hododod246 28 дней назад

Game media did not call it masterpiece. It did not get any awards. It did not even get nominations. On metacritic it is 83. And IGN gave 7.
