Some things: there's barely QTE in the game and just because of the boss being one of those moments, the game isn't bad. And everyone here claiming that the game is full of QTEs is just trolling, I guess. Same goes for that 'cinematic' claim: sometimes you don't even notice when you are in a "cutscene" or when you leave one, the whole game flow is pretty amazing and it feels good that the actualy gameplay and the actual parts where the game tries to tell it's story are that close together. To the generic gameplay mechanics: yeah well...it is a 3rd Person Shooter and it is pretty hard to reinvent the genre. But the weapons and the really nice controls (best controls I've had in a while) are something noticable. Besides that: the whole playlist of that YouTuber rushing through the game is about 6 hours long, I don't knw why everyone is talking about 5 hours oO I would recommend to wait until it's a bit cheaper, the playtime really is one of the few let downs this game has. But besides that it's one of the better games I've seen the last year. |
Its intersting that you claim to have completed. Also very interesting that all your observations seem to be the polar opposite of what most people on the YT channel are saying in the comments section.
Your claims of ''barely'' any QTE's are a bit farfetched. While in gameplay, yeah, QTE's only pop up as executions / stealth moves, but they pop up a lot in cutscenes. It certainly isn't a QTE fest, but there is a lot more than you are putting on.
Cutscene transition was something that actually shocked me in the playthough. The transition looks the same in any other game. There is no ''seamlless'' transition from TPS to a cinematic cutscene. Cutscenes from the looks of it start rather abruptly and at very random intervals. And this is from watching a YT playthough, I can't imagine how gamebreaking it would be while actually playing the game.
As for the gameplay, you are right in that it certainly wont be reinventing anything. I just dont think 5 mins of walking, followied by 5 mins of shooting, followed by 5 mins of cutscenes accounts to engaging gameplay.
Where is your proof that you have completed the game?
