This is the perfect GP game for me though yeah, I literally just want to see what it’s like and play around with it for an hour or so then probably jump off. I don’t think I want to spend a lot of time actually in that world. Also I think this is the first game to support direct storage so I’m curious what, if anything, that does.

stepee Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Oh, I guess they announced two days ago that it doesn’t actually have direct storage, the wait continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardAct Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 The plan is to wait till completely dark outside and go play this on Series X 83" LGC1 sound coming from my 11speaker x 2subs {7.2.4} Dolby Atmos home theater!! The neighbors will hate me yet again and the wife won't be going to sleep early tonight I can tell you that! I built this room just for such occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Ok yeah I didn’t realize what this was I guess, I thought you did more..stuff in this. You just wander around and fidget a bit at little boring puzzle stations and walk around really slowly in a surprisingly lifeless organic environment. The art is interesting but it somehow feels like you are walking through pre rendered cg backgrounds or something and everything feels sterile and lifeless which takes away ant scare factor of an organic horror setting. meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS it turns out is more of a walking puzzle with some light surivival horror and shooter elements thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no set up or anything to make you interested. Like, Call of Sea seems really cool, I need to play more of that, that had me interested and it’s the same genre as I guess this is. I did a complete 180 and put on the Kao Kangaroo reboot and it’s so much more fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardAct Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Spent 2 hours in this game and just wasn't feeling it, ON PC I just couldn't get the camera movements to how I like them either. Was either was to slow or fast no inbetween. I also thought this was a shooter more so then a walking { VERY SLOWLY } puzzle game in a dreadful aliens wanna be environment! I love horror, creepy stuff for the most part so pretty disappointed really. Loving GGP though as in the past I would have purchased this and she;ved it soon after never to go back. GP gets a 10/10 and Scorn gets a 4/10 but I have to say I played it only 2 1/2 hours so It could be hiding something special but it's hiding pretty well from what I experienced anyway!

Every single pre-release preview article and video that I posted in the weeks leading up to its release CLEARLY stated that the game wasn't an FPS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firewithin Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 yah spent about 45min in it and its not for me. the world is cool and disgusting and generally id be ok with very little direction especially in a puzzle game but this has like zero indication of what needs to be done. maybe thats on me but just not feeling this right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game was in development for five years? What the serious fuck? It seems like a game that was put together in a couple of years tops. It’s all style over substance, and extremely short. And critics are gushing over it why exactly? Because it has impressive graphics? Who cares about actual gameplay and fun factor if something looks really good, right? I’m not gonna lie, it chaps my hide when a game like this receives a bunch of attention and critical acclaim just because of its art design and graphics while a game like Asterigos: Curse of the Stars gets completely ignored.

Pikachu Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 The game has a 71 avg rating and only 49% of critics recommend it. I wouldn't call that critical acclaim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
