| Rpruett said: It's similar to the Uncharted series but the pacing and the way you play the game is entirely different. The game is around 18 hours or so long and it's no joke. Sometimes, over the course of 18 hours the game can feel repetitive at times in terms of what you're doing (Stealthing, gathering, surviving) but the game keeps you fresh with new areas, new locations, new gameplay aspects. (What game over 8 hours have you played that doesn't feel repetitive at times). The story and the way the story is told is fantastic. The first thirty minutes of the game is truly an exhilerating time and really sets the tone for a great story. It's slightly over-rated by some people who are saying it's the 'Best game ever'. I wouldn't say that, but I would say it's certainly in the running for game of the generation. It's story was really good and easy to follow (Unlike MGS4) and actually had some serious depth and emotion to it (Unlike Uncharted). It effectively navigated and married the survival horror/action adventure/stealth/role-playing/drama genres into one game and did it seamlessly. It's not an easy game, multitudes harder than Uncharted (Even on Normal mode). I haven't started newgame+ yet but I'm sure the top difficulty will be brutally hard. You won't understand the game by watching 'Youtube' videos -- Slimebeast. You won't be involved in the game. I've never watched a game on youtube that was 'fun', and I'm not sure why anyone would expect that. You won't enjoy the game by switching on and off with your friend. (Who even does that?) -- especially if you didn't play during the final stretches of the game. You wouldn't alternate turns of playing a Final Fantasy game and then skip most of the second half of the game and actually enjoy the game. You play the game and need to engross yourself into the game. It's just like any game with a viable story, the people who don't 'get it' are usually the ADHD type of gamers that half way play it or skip cut scenes or simply don't pay attention, which removes almost 75% of the things that make the game special. |
Yeah, you don't get immersed at all when you watch games on YouTube, so you can't judge them properly.
Someone in this thread said that he liked the skill and item upgrade system in the game. I love those kind of things, to collect everything and upgrade stuff.
