    This game really is having a big forum comeback whilst on sale.
  • I didn't get on with MGS that much but this is a joy, and it's just beautiful on a beefy PC. What a port, what a game.

    The story is dramatic/silly/cheesy/amazing/shit/nuts but the singular vision is spectacular. I played for hours and hours on my first go, so set time aside for a good session.

    It's not the game I thought it was going to be and all the better for it. It's not for everyone, especially psychopaths, but it's a perfect game for a lockdown imo. I wouldnt've minded a walking simulator when it looks this good but it's so much more than that. It takes a bit from Dark Souls and molds it into to something so bold and beautiful.

    To set up a studio and produce this as a first game is remarkable. The balls of the man.

    YOU TAKE THAT BACK OR I NOT LOVE YOU ANYMORE!
  • I'm so invested in this I'm even loving the nonsense cutscenes.

    I can't believe somebody dared to make such a clearly expensive game that has a deliberately broken gameworld, asks the player to slowly and painfully traverse it just to demonstrate how broken it is, and then asks the player to make it bearable for everyone else by fixing the most annoying bits. It's just about the most amazing thing I've ever played.

    Yeah I'm back into this after Yakuza / 13 Sentinels


    One Batshit plot at a time, reg.

    Each one of these three is Anime as fuck in its own way.

    Can’t wait for March for PS5 Yakuza.
  • Its so cool to see this get a mini second Renaissance on here.
  • I can kinda co sign sg.

    Not in a position to always give it proper time, so not playing as much, but agree with sentiment.

    I am still finding all the systems a whirl of confusion though.

    Because everything has a strange name as well and I still haven't come to grips with ui, it's all a bit of a mess.

    Doing the very first Mules stealth thing.

    The map is dense but it's unclear what everything means.

    I did get spotted by a bt which set off a pretty fucking spectacular chain of events. I am now unsure if that's what happens every time or if that was just a one off. Basically, I'm still unsure of the actual fail state for getting caught by BTs.

    I did get spotted by mules though. Haven't sussed quite their awareness.

    They booted me out and stole my stuff.

    Is that the extent of the fail state?

    I'm still great and you still love it.

    It helps to read in this. Read all the tips when you are resting in your room. The emails also start to make sense of the world.

    I never got caught by the mules but things do change later in the game that I won’t spoil.

    Fail state for BT’s can sometimes be positive.

    I had problems with the UI at first too, but it does get better. I think there are unnecessary bits around the UI that add to the confusion. But it does get intuitive once you’ve done things a few dozen times :-)

    I do want to go back and 100% the trophies.
  • Yeah it starts to click around act 3. It's so easy just to keep pressing A but I'd advise a really good look at the screen when you're given a job. All the good info is there, including the hazards you'll face and you can even get an extra vocal brief. There's a lot to take in on that screen and I'm playing it on a 55" tv.

  • One of the really cool aspects is that you’ll eventually gain this softly gained intuition about what is and isn’t necessary and you can get away with just making sure the cargo is transported properly.

    Ha ha fucking hell Haak I can't wait to hear what you've got to say about this one!!

    I know you, you're gonna tear this to shreds!!! :)

    I haven't gone as far as deleting it yet, as there may just come a time in the coming weeks where I'm that bored even this game will stir something in me, but by christ I just don't see it.

  • It's love. I haven't even finished it and it's in my top 5. Maybers top 3 ever.

  • This is what DS was like. Then two weeks later he was selling his bitcoin to put out a hit on Kojima on the dw. So I'll wait if yous don't mind.

  • Don't let negative ninnys taint you going in, it's much better to start off without too many preconceptions, just let it wash over you and chill. Obvs some people will bounce off hard anyway.
  • I played for hours. It should never take that long for a game to be fun.

  • I've never played anything so...... confident. How did he know it was going to be ok?? It's so assured it's deliberately annoying. Who does that?! Who has the confidence to do that? I'm actually a little turned on.

  • Does anyone wanna buy a sealed copy of this game on PS4? I got it on PC. Forgot I had bought on PS4 on sale. Must have been a chalice or thereabouts, Fair offers and handjobs considered.
