What elements has it got that review badly. I know absolutely NOTHING about this game, except the tiny section we've seen in the demo. |
1) Linear gameplay. Open World is the new crack.
2) Artstyle. If you're not colorful for the sake of being colorful, you're generic. Atmosphere and setting be damned. Browns and greys are so last gen.
3) Gameplay mechanics. From what we've seen and heard it's a pretty straight forward 3rd person shooter (games with solid straight forward mechanics are not enough - see DriveClub). Where is the over the top gameplay? Why can't the character jump on walls? (The fundamental) Where is the "next-gen" gameplay (aka I didn't like the game but can't really tell why). It doesn't help that the previews said that shooting mechanics feel off, which may be legit. Ohh and the QTE's, the worst thing ever.
Also doesn't have multiplayer.
Unless the story is really good and reviewers actually bother to pay attention and not to skip the cutscenes, I don't see any salvation.
Truth be told I'm not reading very many reviews but I can't remember a reviewer raving over a story or even giving it a lot of attention in the review since TLoU.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
Greatness Awaits!
