Finally downloaded this because of the sequel hype, and you just shoot guys in an office building while being told a Zanzibart story? And the telekinesis is nowhere as polished or fun as the gravity gun from HL2. Why is this popular at all? Just marketing and muh rtx reflections? This is objectively a terrible game.
>>745966821As a brutalist fag, I enjoyed it a lot. Shame the sequel goes outside. It's a logical progress but I'm gonna miss the Oldest House
>>745966821>Why is this popular at all?Because it's the closest we'll ever get to a AAA SCP game. And yes, even though I like it for what it is, I agree that it is ultimately a disappointment. I wish it was about containing individual anomalies during this huge breach. Instead that's only a very few sidequests. Doesn't help that the Hiss are a really bland antagonist.
>>745966821Obviously you need to earn XP and unlock and upgrade special powers, you don't have everything at the start.
>>745966821Would be a lot more enjoyable without the insta-kill telekinetic enemies
Trying a bit too hard with the ragebait.
>>745966821Redit likes it because they are low IQ slop gobblers. It's a 5/10 shit console game with no difficulty, the same 5 enemies all game and no need to use any of the abilities at all ever as the rail gun 1 shot everything in the game
It's funFlying around the place is funLifting shit up and launching it at other shit is funThe environment destruction is fun
>>745966821i dont get it either, played for an hour and uninstalledthankfully i didnt pay any money
>>745966821>sequel hypeLMAO
>>745966821>OP mad that Remedy game plays like a Remedy gameI understand you made this thread to ragebait but I'm pretty sure most people on here will just call you a little slow on the pickup.Yes, it is gimmicky third person shooter crap with a tryhard story. Control is that. Quantum Break is that. Alan Wake is that. Max Payne is that.Ignore those games. They all suck.
reddit console game
>>745968445Thing is, I actually liked Max Payne, the story was straightforward rather than 400 documents with [REDACTED], the environments were varied, the arsenal was large, the gameplay was fun.I guess this is for the Alan Wake crowd, I hated that game too.
>>745966821Keep playing. Game is excellent.
>>745966821It's pretty great. It's basically an SCP containement building/Warehouse 13 type of area. Really cool random lore.
>>745967315>Obviously you need to earn XP and unlock and upgrade special powers"Obviously", huh? Why are modern AAA games like this? In Max Payne you have everything from the start, you didn't need to collect 9000 "payne points" or whatever to unlock and upgrade your slow-mo abilities. And then gun you find don't need any upgrades either, you can just use them immediately. Who the fuck enjoys grinding in linear story focused games? Why is this here?
the only good part was every ahti scene
>>745966821It is the best SCP game out there, and I doubt the world will every see anything at this level again.
>>745969635The sequel will be out next month. But it looks a lot more like The Evil Within.
>>745969201>>745969635I really wish some major studio would just go ahead and make an actual SCP game. >b-but Creative Commons!>we would have to *GASP* share profits!!Yeah, I know, it'll never happen. But it would be nice if it did.
what the fuck is SCP
>>745966821>while being told a Zanzibart story?What the fuck does this mean?
>>7459699584chan faggotry taken over by actual tranny faggotry
>>745970001Basically when you only have "lore" instead of a real story, see pic.
>>745966821>This is objectively a terrible game.Then why is it so good?>inb4 shit tasteYes, you have shit taste, I already know.
>>745969958https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/TL;DR Creepypasta about Men in Black type organization. It is the direct inspiration for stuff like Control.
great game with interesting premise and thick atmosphere>Zanzibart storythe fuck? it's nothing like the souls "approach" to "storytelling"
>>745966821what I expected:>Hans Landa>grrlbosses>jank, modern audience>bugswhat I got:>Hans Landa>some grlbossing>lovecraftian stuff>fun gameplay>[redacted] but you keep reading>ps1 textures>oneshots in a no-heal-button gamestory ok, lore cool, gameplay interesting but few decision fucked it so bad. im a superhero who tosses objects and flies, but can heal, nice. damage is also percent based so whatever health you have, doesnt matter.
>>745969846>trusting soulless AAA companies to not turn SCP in to some UE5 slop with $70 release and $30 seasonNo thanks. SCP media thrives because of indie passion projects not because some corpo suit is trying to get his company's stock value 1.3% higher than last quarter.
>>745966821I guess its nice to know zanzibart posters are actually single digit IQ retards. I always assumed but confirmation is nice.
>>745970845Eh, you're not wrong. We could only ever really trust some indie ass indie studio to pull it off. For some reason, my brain immediately goes to Double Fine, but I feel like that's wrong.
>>745966821Great game. Narrative, presentation, environment design, combat is all very cohesive. It's also the only big budget game that actually nailed the metaphysical urban SF&F genre stuff. My only significant criticism is that the enemy variety feels poor. It's easy to get tired of Hiss after a while.
>>745971276>It's also the only big budget game that actually nailed the metaphysical urban SF&F genre stuffPlay The Evil Within games.
>>745969958Secure, Contain and Protect. Fictional foundation is keeping supernatural objects, entities and concepts under wraps by being inhumane pragmatic bureau using class D personell, death row and life sentence serving prisoners as guineapigs, menial workers and so on. Think of Men In Black but for all anomalies.There are opposing groups too like Chaos Insurgents, Dr Wondertainment, Herman Fueller's Circus of Disquieting, art ensemble Are We Cool, Yet? and meme nerds Gamers Against Weed
>>745972016hmm, this reminds me, is Lobotomy Corporation also based off the same internet lore?
>>745966821>>745968624>>745969491>OP "finally downloaded" a game called Control>gets his autistic ass blasted because it isn't Max Paynekeep seething
>>745972124It's same concept but different enough. Basically Not!SCP like Control. The basis is same and to be frank institution researching and suppressing supernatural is older than SCP and 90s Men In Black
>>745970129But the game has a real story, it's just not a linear A to B corridor shooter, I can see why it would bounce off your smooth brain. Maybe a Call of Duty or Tomb Raider would be more your speed?>>745972016I think it got a lot of inspiration from Cabin in the woods.
>>745972372Yeah, this trope is probably as old as Area 51.
>>745972016>Think of Men In Black but for all anomalies.Not gonna lie, in hindsight, it's really disappointing that the movie was just aliens. The comics also had general supernatural stuff. >>745972627>I think it got a lot of inspiration from Cabin in the woods.Nope, other way around. SCP was 2008. Cabin in the Woods was 2011.
>>745966821Congratulations, you figured out that SCP fanfiction doesn't make for a good game
>play game>well that was mediocre as hell>come to /v/ >everyone raving about the Ash Tray Labyrinth>the linear action set piece where you kill the same enemies you've been killing the entire gameyou can't trust a word /v/ says in praise of this game, it makes them all idiots for some reason
>>745973263https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0QsHKH77MIIt's because of the song and the ingame setting that the player character gets the janitor's walkman to listen the song from the old gods letting her pass through the maze and the song is about her life and the situation. It's uplifting and cathartic
>>745970739Skill issue. You need to constantly keep moving and be extremely aggressive. If you get in their faces and rock their shit then the sparkles thet drop will heal you. You can also do a melee build that heals you on hit. If you're just floating around like a retard, then of course you're going to have a bad time.
>>745973263>anon notices the inorganic marketingfirst time? hehthey do the same shit with Anal Woke 2. it's always the "oh my heck they're dancing to the heckin eurobeats this is so sovlful"
>>745973636I guess I don't find the same boring gameplay I've been tolerating for 30 hours up that point uplifting or cathartic because there's a buttrock song laid on top of it.
>>745973745You are right, it's a (You) issue
>>745973815Doesn't seem like an issue from where I'm standing.
>>745966821The side quests can be interesting. The mai quest is boring slop for the most part.Also for some reason they put ALL the bosses except one in the side quests, truly a baffling decision.
>>745973896Dunno, you brought it up
>>745971004I've always been really confused about that. Are people mad because you're being asked to infer things rather than having it spelled out?
>>745966821One of the most Astroturfed games of all time
>>745973980Right? Again, the main problem with this game is the Hiss. It should've focused on hunting down all the varied anomalies and re-containing them. That's when the game is the most fun.
>>745966821The enemies were too bullet spongy and took forever to kill unless you were chucking rocks at them. That's the main thing I didn't like. The guns had a nice feeling to them but became useless once the shield enemies showed up.Also, I felt that the game needed way more surreal/trippy elements and set pieces similar to the ashtray maze. It could've used some more enemy variety as well. The character model quality for the npcs was all over the place as well.
>>745966821its not that popular.also you need to get to the doctor who hardcarries the game with his bullshit.its more about the setting and design of several parts that people like.Its ultimately wasted potential, but there is enough there that I enjoyed playing it.Not that you care. You are just baiting for interaction because faggots like you still believe being a lying asshat is the only way to get people to reply.
>>745973263It's not just about the combat or the music in that sequence. It's about the cool non-euclidian environment that shifts an morphs and the visual effects. Yes, it's a linear on-rails segment, but it all comes together to male a rollercoaster ride experience. If you liked the game enough to get to that point in the game, then there's no way you didn't enjoy that sequence. You wouldn't be playing a game you don't enjoy unless you're a gigantic performative faggot.
>>745969491you do not have every gun in max pain at the start, shut up
>>745974074The original tweet was just joking about soulsborne NPC's saying cryptic things to "world build" but then Elden Ring came out and that exact moment was repeated about a dozen times.
>>745974770The side quests and the kooky doctor and Threshold Kids kept me interested enough to keep going but the main story was just plain mediocre. The combat isn't enjoyable enough for a setpiece to make it suddenly interesting at the 11th hour. I'm still flying around throwing rocks at the same enemies I have been for the past 30 hours, but now ohhhh non-Euclidean geometry and a guy screaming TAKE. CONTROL. in my ear, wooooweeee. And then the final """"""boss"""""" was such a fucking embarrassment that I realized people who praise this shit are complete idiots dazzled by...something. Haven't figured that part out yet. Brutalist architecture, maybe.
>>745974975The original tweet was a Borderlands writer asshurt that people like the minimalist writing in Souls games better than his own word vomitoriums.
>>745974975Goodness forbid someone make jokes about things they like without people taking it too seriously.
>>745975134Just because you don't enjoy spectacle doesn't mean nobody else can. At least you enjoyed the humor.
>>745975814Spectacle is meaningless if the core gameplay element isn't fun in the first place. It's jingling keys.
>>745975194He was, unintentionally, right though. Which was also the only time a borderlands writer was ever or will ever be right about anything. It isn't as noticeable in other DS games but elden ring had so many characters "zanzibart" that it comes off as a writing crutch. Basically an "Insert Grimdark And 3 Hour Loretuber Essay" here phrase.
>>745975897>it's jingling keysYes, that's what spectacle is. Do you hate fireworks because they don't tell you a joke or make you form inquisitive thoughts?
>>745976252No, spectacle is not just jingling keys in your face, especially in a video game. It can be something like Sword Saint Isshin in Sekiro, or pulling off a cool combo in Devil May Cry. And it's funny you post Roller Coaster Tycoon, because that is something YOU build, with YOUR agency. The game doesn't build the park for you then expect you to ooh and aah.
>>745966821perkele
>>745966821it had some fun fights but you often could not repeat them
>>745973692yeah i kept my distance and then had to run for small blue drops all the time, took until endgame to get a heal on hit for object throws. the most consistently annoying enemies were, well basically all of them, but the float+dodge ghosts. they are a bitch to gun down>>745974762i could see an adhd zoomer skipping papers, dialogue and videos, let alone paying attention and thinking about them. if one only focuses on bing bong wahoo the game doesnt work
>>745977254
>>745977320
>>745966821The setting and not-SCP lore carry this otherwise bog standard shooter. Hopefully you got this on sale, it's pretty worth it at 30-40 bucks.
>>745976698Inputting that cool combo isn't spectacle, it's an expression of your technical skill. Your reward for it is the spectacle of the flashy cool animation that does alot of damage and the announcer telling you how you're the hottest shit for doing it. If it was one button it would be the same spectacle. You personally may not be impressed by it if it was like that because the part you enjoyed was the satisfaction of personally pulling off something challenging. Check the map.
So, it was Chester Bless who fucked everything in NY?
>>745977257>the fliersYeah, they're annoying. You need to either hit them at an odd angle that they can't dodge or send two or more attacks at them in rapid succession to bait out the dodge on the first attack.
>>745966821Was it actually popular? I thought it kinda bombed.
>>745969958It started with pic related, but eventually evolved into this: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/admonition
>>745968445ITS PAYNE!!!Max Payne never took it itself too seriously. It was a Tarantino videogame.
Perkele saatana
>>745978384Admonition is funny because it really is just "We fucking LOVE eigenweapons!" the canon. In this splinter reality, the Foundation just can't stop making anomalous WMDs.
>>745977972Doubt it.
>>745969958It was a collective writing project about unique supernatural beings and the agency tasked to Secure and Contain these beings and thereby Protect the world. Then it was invaded by colossal faggots and retards and is now a community writing project to inform your readers how much of a fucking retarded cockmuncher you are without actually blatantly giving out the number of dicks you've sucked that day, the readers are meant to figure it out from reading your gay ass shit.
>This is objectively a terrible game.it was GOTY 2019COPEyes, I'm aware a 7/10 was GOTY that year. no, Shitkiro did not deserve a (((GOTY))). it was maybe a 2/10, if I'm being generous
>>745978319Google says it bombed on launch but sold 6 million copies later.
>>745970845Entertainment media used to be able to do both.
