Damn you guys got really triggered by what I said. Have fun with that.

You started it and your defense is "It was just a prank, bro"?

It's a decent looking game at the very least from what I watched.

For someone who likes the genre, no doubt but I dont play 3rd person games and I am certainly not the target audience for Alan Wake or Quantum Break.

Something about the art style bothers me too, its too overproduced or something idk

Edit: figured it out, while looking at some game footage, I like games that look good, not realistic, or atleast trying to look realistic but still fall within game territory, the faces are super uncanny valley on closeups, it looks like things should behave like they'd do in real life, but they dont because its a game.

Common issue with this sort of art direction of no colors, lens flare, oversaturated lights, "game looks like you're permanently stuck in a dream sequence" stuff

Not to mention (without trying to spoil anything) the amount of red you'll be dealing with.

Knock it off, guys. Stay on topic and discuss the game and not each other.

EGS games are basically a no-go from me. I've already got enough platforms to deal with, I don't need another. And I definitely don't need to wait a year to pay full price for a year-old game, either. The sooner this stupid exclusivity thing dies out, the better off we'll all be.

I will not install the EGS Chinese spyware on my computer. I will not do business with ANY company that takes an exclusivity deal with them. So as far as I'm concerned this game doesn't exist, and I don't care about it.

"I saw that video of the journalist playing Cuphead and now I think all Journalists are FAKE GAMERZ"

That's what you sound like right now. I'm sure that some journalists certainly fit that bill, but they are doubtless the minority. Regardless the game has been well regarded by many and your post didn't age well. It happens.

Most gaming "journalists" these days are just whiney hacks who want to bitch about social justice narratives in games, rather than actually being credible and writing worthwhile stories and reviews.

I liked this game; it was ambitious in a way I wish more action games would brave. However, it was sort buggy at times and needlessly frustrating at times.

Yeah, a couple of times it felt super vague on what to do/how to proceed. But it was nice to finally figure those things out, and I loved the fakeout ending!

Very good game IMO.

Fortnite doesn't actually sell copies of the game anymore btw.

No shit Sherlock ? That's some next level captain obvious right there.

Better hope you felt smart when writing this... "HERP IM GONA TEASH SUM 1 ON TEH INTERNET WAT A F2P IZ".
Poor thing

This was a very enjoyable game. The world building is superb.

Didn't have much interest in this initially but after hearing a lot of things recently with end of the year awards so I picked it up on the Epic encore sale for effectively $20. I really like it so far but I'm not too far in.

Anyone finished it? About how many hours of gameplay is it.

Epic Game Store says I've played it for 22 hours. I've finished the main story, but there are several side missions I still have to do. So probably around the 25 hour mark. There is some sort of repeatable content (Expeditions) but I've never tried those.

It was OK honestly. The design is pretty cool and the story is convoluted yet interesting at the same time. The enemy variety is crap however, and the gameplay gets stale after a while. The ending is also pretty blasé.

All in all it may scratch your Max Payne/Alan Wake itch, but it's not as good as those games.

That was part of my problem. The enemys went from "i wonder what strange stuff is coming" to "oh its the same enemy with a destiny style energy shield" and the combat was so loose and floaty by the end i was just excited for the combat to end. In a Remedy game thats a problem for me, but i seem to be in the minority with all the awards its getting. I was excited for it but honestly found it kind of a damp squib.

I got about 30 hours of great gameplay out of it and I haven't touched Expeditions yet (the free DLC mode).

[Bigvizz]

I enjoyed Control a lot, my opinion, my view and no one else can tell me different. Tough, if you didn't like the game don't play it.

[marceltrido]

Never heard of it before looks alright though.
