Finished it earlier, apart from taking a while to get properly going and from my experience having a really rough first impression with the very first boat scene, then it's absolutely phenomenal once it does going.

I'd almost dare to say that this outdoes Uncharted 2, a game I hold in probably too high regard anyway, and feels like a much more considered and impactful experience than Uncharted 2, even if you do end up having slaughtered some 500 guys by the end of the game. Also cannot be understated just how fucking gorgeous this game is, especially the latter half of the game just looks unbelievably good, I bet most folks here end up taking way longer to play through this game than regular peoples since we end up standing around and just marveling at how good this shit looks.

Combined with cutscenes that almost feels like a middle finger to other game dev when they seamlessly blend from gameplay to cutscenes and keep the same weapons in the cutscenes, crazy pants. Absolutely wonderful small scale sandbox encounters as well, really dug the level design in the later locations.

Anyway, best game in a long while, you're officially a crazy person if you don't play this (or buy a PS4 to play this). The End.

Looks dope, I'm totally ready for this and I love the title. Very brave to call it BF1 and be set during WW1, but for once one of these fucking games actually look fresh, Modern/Future Warfare today is what WW2 was 8 years ago.

Also hope they do something interesting with the single player as well and go for a more open world FarCry'ish approach rather than the usual trite cinematic setpiece borefest, I actually really dug BF3's but maybe it's time to move on and actually make the SP worth a shit

Vari goo! Probably the game I'm looking the most forward to this year after Uncharted 4. Really digging the setting from what was shown in the E3 trailer, hope it doesn't get bumped to 2017

That's a dope website, game looks cool too

My first 20 min, people actually lined up to try and use the activation laptop. Found a similar picture online[Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/R1mHi60.jpg]

Video games anno 2016.

Kinda interested in checking it out, wanna see some impressions/reviews first tho (and have the servers, you know, work)

Can't wait to try out the final game, been looking forward to this for ages~~

Aye, a lot more interested in this project now.

I was going to pick it up on Valentine's weekend, I noticed was discounted. Then didn't had the time to do so.

@Mazy have you seen chances of replayability? Just curios after what they said during promotion.

I'm a bit curious if saying different things at different times actually changes stuff later on, there's at least one thing that seems like it could change quite a lot in terms of how the characters relate to each other. So there's definitely that to check out on a second play through, seriously doubt it would change anything drastic in the actual plot tho.

Other than that then it feels like a game that is almost better off just playing once to keep the illusion alive in that you can actually affect things in a meaningful way (a bit like the Telltale games, which some of the devs worked on)

Finished it over the weekend, really enjoyed it, especially loved the beginning.

Absolutely terrible performance on the PS4 tho (blabla PC master race quiet), which is especially striking when you've just come from The Witness which has a similar art style, often much longer draw distances and looks better...oh and then runs at a completely steady 60fps. Also I spotted lots of rough areas where you can see trees not intersecting into the ground, rocks floating, really weirdly placed blocking volumes etc.

Anyway, boring techincal issues aside, definitely worth a play if you like games where you're not constantly running around and saving the universe and shooting people in the face. I've heard a lot of people dislike the ending but I actually quite liked it.

Also I'm grateful to play a game that's about 4 hours long, after lasts years onslaught of 50+hour games (Witcher, Fallout, MGS, Batman) then I'm thrilled to play something that's actually realistic to finish within the first few days of starting it.

You fucking rock Minos, brilliant stuff as usual~~looking at this stuff makes me wanna make a map with it

Quote from Puddy

I am really glad that almost everything is on a timer now. I got really bored inching forward and overwatching in the first one.

This a hundred times.

My classic Ironman runs in the previous XCOM, though mostly very intense, also had crazy long lulls where the beginning of every mission (and throughout most missions) would consist of moving one soldier forward at a time with everybody else hanging back in overwatch, which was crazy dull and uninteresting in hindsight. I love the changes they've made to the beginning of missions with timed objectives in that they're forcing your hand to make clever and hard choices from the beginning but still give you a slight upper hand when you can ambush them. Makes the missions much more exciting from the get go, and looking back then that was honestly the biggest flaw in the previous XCOM (apart from the lack of procedural maps) .

Haven't really played this new one enough though, only spent like 2-3 hours on it, nearly no time for it between work, life and everything else, but it's not going anywhere :). So far it looks like it'll be easy to pour 100+ hours in this one as well

Is it just the two of you playing on one screen but playing together with one controller? It's not actually 2 player?

Nah it's just a one player game, but one that's quite well suited to have another person sitting by and pitch in (though I'm probably gonna try and play most of it on my own :v)

Played it for a few hours yesterday and so far I am absolutely in love with it.

Getting stuck at a panel, going somewhere else to clear your thoughts and take a crack at another panel and then suddenly getting an idea for the previous panel happened multiple times yesterday, creating a really neat and rewarding loop. Also helps when the environments look so dayum good

Also, this is a really good girlfriend co-op like game. Played it with my gf yesterday, and even though she's much smarter than me then we actually moments or panels that one of us were better at, rather than her just solving everything

Anyway, think we stopped playing just as shit is about to get more difficult, but so far it totally lives up to the hype

Good shit, can't wait to try it out, think I'm in the perfect mood for something like this right about now.

Made the mistake of checking out some video reviews that spoiled some of the puzzles tho however :v

Grats on the release! Looks hella dope~

Still not entirely certain if I'll get this one or a PS VR, or if I'll just end up skipping it entirely this year :v

PS VR won't have PC support (and access to all the ridiculous game jam shit that'll be the most fun) and the hardware is obviously a lot more limited compared to a good PC, but getting the Rift basically means that I'll have to buy a new PC as well, and then it'll probably be closer to $1500 for the entire thing.

I am surprised that people thought it would be a lot cheaper than $599 though, seemed pretty clear that the early adopters would always have to pay a fairly high price to get in, would be wonderful if it was cheaper tho
