Have you played Control?Thoughts?
>>730582693I liked it. Looking forward to Resonant.
>>730582693it's a decent game, think it's been offered for free on epig a few times now, worth grabbing on sale otherwise.Biggest negative is that the game only really opens up once you get the flight/hover ability, which is given to you much too late in the game
yeah, i like it, good atmosphere, fun to piece together what's going on, fun powers and shooting is satisfying. OST kinda sucks but it makes sense for the world, you'll understand why if you play it, and enemy variety is rather poor, hopefully they'll fix that in the sequel.
>>730582693 Sam Lake is the quintessential 2deep4u games director Story was hard to follow because there's nothing beneath the facade
>>730582693Ugly lesbian girl boss chosen one #51819432. Absolute trash.
>>730582693I kind of hated it for the first hour. Then as I continued and more powers were unlocked and more story was presented it eventually became one of my favorites. I'm not really excited for the next one but I'll still play it.
I don't touch games with fugly woMan
>>730582693I keep confusing this game with Remember Me for some reason. I've heard this one is actually pretty good, but I just haven't really been interested in checking it out.
>>730582954Lesbian?
>>730582693pretty fun superman with jedi powers gamethe RNG mechanics was the downfall of the game though, and in their infinite wisdom they made it exponentially worse with the DLCs - most people won't even experience the 'fun' gameplay at it's optimal level, because the most optimal and fun ability mods won't even be encountered in the short amount of time that they'll tolerate and play the game. they should've just stuck with a linear skill or stat system, that way people would've been able to play with a serviceable set of abilities and cooldown intervals, instead of whatever fucked up combination that people tend to make, which is also made worse by the RNG restricting what people are able to make
>>730582693Would've been better without >skill tree>crafting>scrapping>weapon mods>Diablo loot with RNG stats>text logs every 5 steps >side quests >"""open world"""Why have devs forgotten how to make a straightforward shooter without all these awful pseudo-MMO elements that add nothing to a singleplayer game?
>>7305826935 hours of novelty, 10 hours of cringe I didn't finish it
I started this game a few days ago. I'm not a fan of the voices in your head thing and the general atmosphere of the game. I'm not sure what kind of person this shit is made for.
>>730582693It was cool and had some very kino moments, but the story kinda lost itself into dogshit right at the end.I couldn't finish the DLC.
>>730582693>what if generic seen everywhere before tps cover based gameplay but with man faced girlboss ( we gotta obey blackrock's directives after they funded our game ), barely any supernatural stuff on the front row, and fluff such as an inconsequential skilltree and rng based uograde drops to justify this thing lasting way too long to reach the end credit? get fucked remedy
>>730582693I really really REALLY wish they'd give it ray reconstruction
>>730587864>generic seen everywhere before tps cover based gameplaythe biggest flaw of the game is making 80% of the gameplay this until you get the one ability that actually opens up the combat system
>>730588039What are you talking about the best way to play is to take out dangerous targets with the sniper, the rest is arguably harmless and can be dealt in whatever ways and so the rerererepeating firefights have no impact. All style zero substance.
>>730588039(I predict that you may attack what I say under the presumption that I forgot about the hoovering ability so I'm making ot clearer: being able or not to fly around doesn't matter when nothing can pressure you into using it and when you can cancel dangerous targets with the concentrated shots of the sniper thing, yeah I can fly around so what? Like the shield I see little reasons to be forced into that stance outside of platforming so I despise it, like all badly balanced "go make your own fun" games. )
Have,I occasionally re-install it Hyped for 2
>>730588521you sound like those freaks that use one broken weapon/skill to trivialize an entire game and then blame the devs that it's too easy instead of playing the game to have fun
>>730588623excited for more fag shit and brown propaganda too sister! ( they can't find the time to study game design with all the efforts they go through to sabotage their own games, sadly everything they shat out since AW sucks but who cares about games lol )
>>730588832It's funny I'm replaying vanquish and everything works perfectly in this game and the challenge and thrill are consequent despite it having a way larger selection of weapon, slow motion, a rocket powered suit and cigarettes. Maybe learn how to make games white pig.
>>730582837This. I guess I would've liked more weird objects but it's fine.
>>730582693>Have you played Control?Nope. Won't even pirate it.Man's face model pasted on a woman's body. Tranny shit is gross.
>>730588970AND it is insanely replayable while never wasting your time. Game can be finished in one afternoon. >NoOoOoOo what about open world slop with rng shit and dog water sub quests?All games must be padded to shit so we can say they're worth the money!hahahahahaha NIGGER
Grip > Charge > Surge > Pierce > Spin > Shatter
Decently enjoyable game that didn't do nearly enough with its premise, it played like a generic TPS with every enemy being a shooty grunt and the best parts of the game were the few setpieces where that wasn't the case, the hack n slash sequel looks much better in that regard so hopefully it turns out good.
>>730588970>Maybe learn how to make games white pig.Why are discussions about the 2002 Gujarat riots still controversial? The Khalistan movement highlights issues of federalism and autonomy. Did you know that Jammu and Kashmir experiences the highest number of internet shutdowns globally? Social media companies face pressure to remove criticism of Indian government policies. Fat dirty phone scam lazy rats!
>>730582693>Thoughts?where are the bikini mods.
I beat it twice. The first time I stuck to just throw but the second time made use of all the powers. Shield is a ton of fun I can't believe I slept on that.
>>730589084It's far more terrible in game when all cutscenes have inner monologue moments with the camera zooming in on her dumb stupid face lel
*solves the game*
>>730589184>broken bot momentmoney well spent
>>730589304Nah its bot trigger text. Their ISPs will cit their internet off onxe itnreads the page lol.. heres some for china..Temu trash. Did you know Winnie the Pooh memes have been censored in China? The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 are a significant historical event. Topics like democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights are essential for global discussions!Fuck 3rd worlders.
>>730582693It's pretty good but has some pretty significant drawbacksThe map fucking sucks and I'm tired of pretending that the fact there are signs mitigates that to any meaningful extent. The game world is designed like Metroid Prime, not having a nice 3D diorama you can open up makes going around the world an annoyance. After a while I stopped doing any sidemissions because I knew getting to the mission trigger was more of a hassle than the actual missionAnother thing is that way too many of the weapons feel like they're shooting wet farts, especially compared to the telekinesis ability, and that's before you even upgrade it. The TK launch is so much better than any of the normal weapons that it makes them totally redundant, and while launching blocks of concrete is fun as an option it starts to feel kind of stupid when it's your primary way of dealing damage>>730587467Correct take, although I think the very best outcome would have been an interconnected Metroid world without any of the RPG shit
>>730589420so 80% of my time spent on this shithole is wasted conversing with bots ran by third worlders? No wonder I feel empty whenever I use the internet. Solving those gay captchas for that makes you glad you're here.
>>730588970>white pig
>>730589581Lol pretty much. Entire economies based on shilling trash on forums like this.Drop a nuke on china africa or india, know what happens?Internet gets faster for the rest of the world.
gay and garbage
>>730589582It's not gonna work amerigroid. You won't see indians defending previous gen japanese games, that's absolutely not the market category shilling for that type of game. You won't muster friendly forces either because everyone's getting sick of the homogeneous western aids slop for goys and bots aren't going to build an illusion strong enough to bend reality.
>>730582693No, I don't play feminist slop.
>>730587864>>730588039It's actually intended for you to just run at the enemy groups and melee them in-between shots & Launches and keep them off-balance and missing due to you moving. You're more likely to get hit by shrapnel and stray shots by hiding behind corners. The game's much easier and better paced when going full barbarian.
lol what triggered this scihzo?
Control is to the SCP wiki what the SCP wiki of today is to the SCP wiki of the late 2000s
>>730582693I thought this game had a lot of wasted potential, they could've had done so much more with the whole insinuated interdimensional nexus that the Old House was meant to be.
I didn't think it was bad but most of the game you spend hours kinda doing the same shit until you get towards the end. I think I got it for free, I forget. It was kinda weird seeing them announce a sequel though. I honestly think if they had just made the woman more cute and removed the loot drop shit it would have been fine. It feels like a lot of executive oversight told the devs to add trendy shit
>>730582693it was boring. When I encountered all the backtracking and map checking and quests and shit I tuned out. The gameplay wasn't good enough to keep me interested
>>730587864>girlbossI initially thought Jesse would be like that based on how she looks but in-game she's actually way more vulnerable and unsure of herself.
>>730582693Been thinking of getting it, is it woke?
>>730590546Does a girl with a jawline get your panties in a twist? Then yes. Very woke. But it's more like what >>730590424 says and I love my stinky loner janitor wife.
>>730587864>what if I make shit up and post it online as if I played the gameget fucked faggot
>>730582693play this instead of waiting for jesse to cook her gameplay
It's got a nice atmosphere and the story is fine.But it feels kinda clumsy. The combat never really feels great. The missions end up being "go back to X and do Y", which isn't bad in itself but the areas seem like they're made for going through once, not backtracking through. The pistol upgrades are rarely interesting.I like it, but it was almost despite the gameplay rather than because of it.
All of the posts in this thread are me btw
>>730582932he just converts the feeling of david lynch media to games and succeeds at it
>>730587467pretty much this
i shant play resonantno jesse no buy
Really unique game, loved the atmospherebut the combat gets repetitive. It needed more interesting weapon and and abilities.
>>730582693Finished it plus all the dlc. Overstays it's welcome by 15h. Dialogue and writing are atrociously bad. Voice acting is somehow worse.
>>730589949Movements weren't good enough so there wasn't anything really encouraging me to go and adopt better fighting strategies. It doesn't obligatory mean that it needs soldiers all rushing at me in a game to force my hand into playing differently, it's a matter of engagement for the player. Are the fights fun? The guns feeling good to use? Does it get repetitive? If so how can we negate lassitude? I was talking about vanquish earlier and I want to go back to it because there's so many things they did right. Take the cover system, how did they encourage the players to move around and drift? Did they send all the enemies to where the player is? No not immediately, in the confusion of a fight there's marines aiding you, it buy you some time so you may stay under cover. But if you do you won't get slow motion mode.So you think "I'll roll backward or to the side, take a few shots and go back to cover!" expect that arena and camera is designed so cover elements, corners and teammates will get in your field of vision. So what they do subtly is incline the playfield in a direction inviting you to push forward or from the sides, you can jump from cover and get a clear sight + slow mo, or drift away from cover + slow mo whenever you want.Also in all fights enemies not only react to being fired at, they also all have fragile vulnerable points, and the more dangerous they are, the harder that point is to expose. Even during slow motion you can see bullets flying at you and if you don't get away from their trajectory you may get hurt. Everything in the game is so dynamic and not simply in a visual way by having things getting destroyed with a full truck of particles flying around. Control doesn't have impact when using guns, running around is uncomfortable, TK power becomes your main tool in your kit and that's a big problem in a giant game that's many hours long. And big spongy enemies never ever feel good to take care of.
>>730582693The most interesting parts of the game, were 100% side content. Other than the perkele janitor that is a strong entity, the main story plotline is terrible. Decent game, especially for those who got it for 7 dollars or something along that pricetag.
>>7305921592/2there's big hp sponges in vanquish too but they get their balance shaken or get staggered, they have weak points, and I don't know precisely how they did it but no matter how big and strong enemies are it always feel good to fire at things in that game. That's the main thing any video game dev needs to realize. If you make a game where your guns feel like shit you can fuck off right away.
>>730582693Really great atmosphere and story. Gameplay started out strong, but got a bit stale by the end. From the trailer of resonant it looks like they’re improving gameplay variety. Just hope that doesn’t come at the cost of the atmosphere. Although remedy have a pretty good track record of nailing that, so I’m hopeful
>>730582693I started playing it but it is on hiatus as Remedy was smelling their own farts with the story.Bunch of pseudo-intellectual nonsense babbling.Also combat is nothing spectacular.
>>730591576https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxIkqbRR59s
>>730589142For me, in regards to how much I've used them, it's:Pierce > Shatter > Grip > Charge > Spin > Surge
>>730589084The actress to played the protagonist is an actual woman. She also played a role in Quantum Break, which did a better job replicating her face.
>>730592854 her model in quantum break fits more how her character acts in control
>>730582693Great setting, mediocre gameplay.
>>730592854Anon, you understand that they don't actually care about truth?IRL they'd instantly cum in their jorts if a woman who looked like Courtney talked to them
>>730593087her face in control is fine, but the facial animations are absolutely retarded, like oblivion tier what the fuck?
liked it. didn't think i would.the first few hours were not good. the writing was 'well, that just happened' tier.it almost felt like they had to have a quota of cringe in the first 3 hours.however, once you get several hours into the game, it dramatically improves in pretty much every way.i had no idea it was a sam lake game, and the game doesn't come into its own until you feel that (things like the ash tray maze, director trench's messages, the hotel)but yeah, by the end i was actually kind of sad it was over, and i found jesse increasingly more attractive throughout the game.
I liked it a lotPlay it like a bullet hell game and not a tactical oneThe setting could have had more potential I think they played it a bit too safe
>>730589142>>730592829charge with three tier five+ damage boosts will one shot every non-boss or non-float enemy in the game.shatter with the DLC mod and damage/projectile boosts will get rid of most bosses without a shield before it runs out of ammo
For the game part >>730587467For the narrative part, the game has some interesting and well-written characters (Darling, Trench), who are either dead or missing. OTOH characters who are actually present are boring and stilted cardboard cutouts. This goes double for the protagonist, who is inconsistently characterized, annoying, and overall unsympathetic. Her constant quips feel incredibly out of place among the horror and carnage and make her seem like a psychopath.
green filter or nah? it kinda grew on me
I avoided the game because I thought it's a full schizo game. Picked it up with 85% sale because I saw Control 2 trailer in TGA. I enjoyed the game. 7.5/10
>>730594028>charge with three tier five+ damage boostsCharge would be a God-tier weapon if the rocket speed mods didn't occasionally glitch out and made the rockets explode in my face.>shatter with the DLC mod and damage/projectile boostsI dunno if the DLC mod was bugged for me, but I swear Shatter felt worse after installing it. The range was still shit, and I didn't notice marked improvement in damage despite having two high level projectile boost mods.>>730594798Green is good.
>>730582693It was pretty good. 6.5/10.
>>730582693girlboss = instant no play for me
>>730582693pretty sure it came with my old 3090, got bored of backtracking through brutalism in like 2 hours, never picked it up again
>>730582954>Ugly lesbian girl boss chosen one. Absolute trash.This game came out in 2019 before woke was in gear or the word was used as chud lexicon, but the character design checks all the boxes. Mediocre boobs, no ass, mid-to-ugly face to make sure she's 'not sexualized'. The game itself was mid too, not shit but not good either, boring AF.The sequel (if it comes out) will be same trash but everyone is aware now.
>>730595785Jesse isn't a girlboss.
>>730594798it grew on me too, quite enjoyed the filter in hindsight
7/10 game, but has some pretty kino moments sprinkled in
>>730582693I liked it a lot.A standalone game about a secret government agency tasked with dealing with anomalous phenomena? Wonderful.I just wish they had expanded on the oldest house, your supposed to be able to "always go deeper", but that didn't pan out, which I guess I could understand.Also, not enough interactable anomalies/thresholds.The fact they used the DLC's to shill Alan Wake crap when it could have been it's own thing is mildy disappointing though, not everything needs to be some Avengers-Tier massive crossover Remedy.
>>730596649>I just wish they had expanded on the oldest house, your supposed to be able to "always go deeper", but that didn't pan out, which I guess I could understand.correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they added a roguelike mode in one of the DLCs?
>>730582693I don't play woke shit
>>730582693>cool environment>cool premise but failed to execute because core writing was shit>gameplay is ok but kind of stale and repetitive>quippy dialogue made me want to not play the DLC
I tried it for about an hour or 2 before and found it boring. I liked the Alan Wake games so thats the only reason I tried it out.
>>730582693A solid 9/10 game. 8/10 with the expansions. Only thing that holds it back is the lack of real build variety. Telekenesis is so much better than anything else you can do that there's no reason not to build for it. Great level design, great story, fun combat and exploration.
>>730596761I don't think so?Foundation just added the proverbial basement of the house to the maps.A.W.E added a lost department of the agency that, to be honest, should have been a part of the base game from the beginning
>>730582693I´ve not played any of the Remedy games. I find the concepts, worlds and stories fascinating but the gameplays look like subpar TPS. Some mix in some horror survival, some mix in some gimmick like stopping time or flying or whatever and IDK, i find that approach kind of bland. I feel like if i wanted to play a TPS i would just play RDR or something. If they focused more on the exploration side of things i may feel differently because they do have some great conceptual ideas. Maybe they should just be making movies or tv shows instead of games.
>>730596649to be fair, in regards to more lore about oldest house,there are a shit ton of lore items, particularly in the foundation dlc, that piece together around it. i think if they went further in describing it, it would have basically been spelling things out which they avoided, but there's a fairly strong fan theory that the oldest house is the world tree, it changes shape depending on eras, and ahti is either its personification or a some norse guy who pledged to protect it forever.i also kind of liked how there was some implication that the 'former' creature is potentially the director before northmoor
>>730597062oh no you're right, I was thinking of that jukebox battle arena thing
>>730582693>singleplayer movie game with lamegay progression skilltree bullshitThis is clearly a blackrock/venture capitalist thread. Everyone in this thread is a nigger and the capture of maduro was in vain if niggers like them still roam the earth.
>>730582693I'm not completely through it yet but the writing is absolutely terrible on all fronts, nothing has depth or is interesting on its own. And here I thought Alan Wake was just mid, somehow this game is even worse.The gameplay is trash in both of them. Remedy is like Quantic Dream but somehow even less successful.
>>730596219>2019>before woke was in gear
>>730597410i appreciate how many people the jukebox and the arcade game filteredi was a little disappointed that the 'harder' modes of the jukebox are the exact same thing just with more debuffs, which kind of just made it RNG to me, since some debuffs were almost unwinnable like combination debuffs that made bosses such bullet sponges you can't win in time, or the accuracy buff that makes every enemy no-scope you.because the easy solution to that is to just reroll until you get a nothing burger debuff like "spin damage reduced 100%!", as if anyone ever used that weapon for more than five seconds
>>730597406>the oldest house is the world treethat interpretation was already in House of Leaves so it makes sense
>>730594798oh fuck the green filter looks niceis that a setting ingame or what?might replay the game just for that
>>730596219>retarded reddit spaced take
TAKECONTROL
Im excited for resonant
>>730602050The first game came out before "soulslikes" were a thing. Now seeing something like this just makes me think it's going to be more circle strafing parryshit. Ugh I fucking hate what games have become
>>730599504It's what it looks like when you play, most people don't even realize there's a filter. Before the game released, the gameplay they showed had no filter like on the bottom.Actually the filter changes in intensity depending on the area, which is why it's nice.
>>730601005No pretty sure after Alan Wake, Remedy Entertainment being woke trash isn't in question and the sequel will double down on it. That's if they even make one seeing as they're in the pits.
>>730582693It's great. It's not my favorite type of game as player agency is kindof limited, you're more or less just clicking "blast shit at enemy" to experience the story. It really excels in atmosphere, art, story, etc. But I'll take it over a Playsnoy walking simulator any day of the week, both because the gameplay is more fun and the art is badass.
>>730591576Guarantee she's in it. She's in the trailer and it's about her brother.
>>730582693I finished like 5 minutee ago, the ending sucked
>>730596219>The sequel (if it comes out)It's remedy, redditor. It will be released.
>>730602290it seemed more like a DMC-like game than a soulslike
>>730582693the amount of [REDACTED] shit on most reports makes the writing seem even more amateur than the SCP articles written by actual amateurs it's based on, but other than that the game is a perfectly fine TPS
>>730602050>have a whole unexplored literal otherworldly city in the Oldest House>make the game in NY insteadI get that NY assets are easier to make but it still feels like a missed opportunity if they end up never using the quarry city.
>>730604515Get with the times, DMC is rollslop too now.
>>730582693I got it for free but didn't play it (too woke, sadly)
Midwit trash
>>730596219>This game came out in 2019 before woke was in gearLeftists started their major push for wokeness in 2014, it began infiltrating entertainment in 2016.
>>730604904Surreal how this their FOURTH (4th) GAME that takes place in NYC
>>730605314as I said, asset reuse.
>>730582693It has an interesting premise that kept me interested. Looked good, ran good, lots to explore. My only complaint is that the combat got quite stale and never really put me in a situation where I actually had to utilize all the tools. 7.5/8 out of 10.
>>730582693A shit ending makes what should have been a great game just ok.
>>730582693Seemed decent (and it probably is) but i could not finish it, gameplay got extremely boring after a few hours.
>>730582954>>730596219Nah, I'm /pol/ personified so much that I hate women almost as much as the chosen. It's unreal.Jesse was fine, the weirdo chipper exposition deliverer girl was fine, too. The black female spec ops "Best of the best of the best, of the best, Sir/Ma'am!" was annoying but never too much for me to stop playing.It was an ok game that could have been exceptional. Ending sucked, but the exploration and story was interesting until it ended.
When the fuck is the Max Payne remake supposed to be out? They previously said it would be out first since it was in development the longest. But I guess Rockstar is in charge of the marketing and release since Remedy already announced control 2 while Max Payne has zero news around it.
>>730582693decided to check it out loved it so much (took me 20 hours to finish it around 10 extra with the dlcs) i finished it went through a remedy rabbit hole alan wake and now midway through? alan wake 2>>730582837looking forward to it as well>>730591576shes in the game appears at the end of the trailer>>730602050could very well be the first game i bought since gta 5 on pc in 2015 in full price>>730606438probably around 2028 as a next gen launch title(also isnt both max paynes getting remade)
>>730582693ultimately I liked itI think the gameplay is just serviceable, pretty standard Remedy stuff even with the powersthe setting and world building is its strongest attribute, but they didn't go quite far enough with it in the first game and I wish we left the Oldest House more than we did. I'm excited to see how they build on itthe story is probably the weakest aspect, it feels like they ran out of time or budget and we couldn't get a full section inside the projectorin all, I'm definitely interested in the sequel
>>730606314They did diversity right because being black or a woman was not the focus of the character, they just are.
>>730606438It will come a year after GTA 6 is released, even if it's already finished. So pray that GTA doesn't get further delayed.
>>730582693I liked it, but it also wasn't what I immediately expected going in. I was expecting a SCP FPS. It was actually SCP Metroid Prime
>>730582693Good game, ugly face
>>730582693I'm about to play it for the 3rd time. Platinum'd it on PS5. Could read documents in this game forever, the lore is comfy.
>>730582693I thought it was cool. I enjoy xfiles inspired games.
>>730582693Just started playing it last week. Kinda trippy.
