I have not played it because my PC isn't strong enough. But I wouldn't be suprised if it is remembered as a decent/good game that was blown the fuck out from overhyped marketing and terrible bugs.
I don't even blame the hype on CDPR so much as the superfans. I was excited, sure, but people who act like a big release is going to be the second coming are just setting themselves up for disappointment. It's a solid 7 or 8/10 for me after 100%ing on my first run. 111 hours, and sure there were occasional bugs but nothing game breaking and nothing unusual for an open world game. Honestly the most annoying one was that one of the radio stations just refused to work for my entire playthrough, and I can live with that.
Nah I 100% believe they purposefully hyper marketed it. Even when the game wasn't even close to being finished they pushed new features for marketing to make redditors do spit-takes.
I guess because I rarely ever pay attention to marketing outside of for the MMO I play I missed a lot of it. Either way, people need to temper their expectations.
They won't learn anything. Vidya is their religion and E3 is church.
he has a sonic pfp. either he's 10 or he's a 20 year old who acts like a 10 year old.
The setting, and I'm one of those sadbrains who actually gets their itch scratched by checking markers off on a big open world map. I felt like I became strong and got access to cool stuff regularly, the stories felt well told even if I wish there had been more to them. The game at max settings just looks fantastic, too.
I get it.
Totally understand. It's not necessarily good for me because I'm in the same boat with work using much of my time and it kinda sucks beating fewer games a year because they're all 80+ hours long. Like I know I can just.. not play those games, but I do get some perverse enjoyment out of checking off boxes. It has to be really egregious, or super annoying to do for me to skip over something in an open world game.
from my experience it's the opposite, most fans i know (including me) are very demanding. as in their never pleased, SEGA does something and people hate it, it used to be classic Sonic what was people really wanted, but now that the younger "Gamecube, GBA, PS2, 4Kids Sonic X on Jetix AMV OC recolor" fans are a lot older, it's dreamcast (adventure sonic what's being asked for (plus Sonic Mania came out and the classic fans got what they wanted)
Oh they will, and get ready for hack game news outlets to report on it being a stunning and brave move something something "disposable woman" something something "agency". I feel like no matter how interesting or well rounded a female game character is if shes a love interest and/or dies during the series people will immediately call her portrayal misogynistic and shallow.
She's going to spin around and dual wield glocks at the last moment and kill Sephiroth.
They said for part 2 that it's going to be close to the original game, they're just adding side missions like Yuffie.
I can't imagine they'll show Zack being alive in part one and not follow it up right? I hope that's the case, though. I'm stupidly excited to see Cosmo Canyon remade.
