Whoa. Nice. I feel like I shouldn't watch this, but this is a nice surprise, and I'm excited.
Edit - 42 minutes in. The game looks awesome! I think they're playing it as if I would play on easy, so not my ideal way of playing, carefully going through it on Legendary, searching every area of the map just to see the environments, but that's fine. What I want to say, and not at all to take away from this game, but as an observation, it looks very much like it's taking off from where Halo 4 left off, not so much story as it does with gameplay, visuals, and everything, putting you right back into the action from the get-go. It just seems to have slight improvements here and there, nothing on a grand scale as far as I am seeing. Not a huge evolution just by the looks and feel I think, just a handful a nice improvements. I am super excited for this game. I wish Jeff through the grenade and the hunter deflected it, as it's a new A.I. behavior.
I like Life is Strange, but the thing has been on my PS4 since the beginning of this year. While I am somewhat excited to see what's next in the last episode, I'm also ready to finish it and take it off my system. I'm surprised people chose this as something they want them to play, that's cool though. This is fun, and funny to watch.
Hm, what a coincidence the topic of this is. I just got off the internet about an hour ago, after I was looking for Star Wars and Star Trek concept art for my desktop background.
Wow, I didn't know this was on PS4 as well. I thought it was just a PC game. That's awesome. I just got it, and by the time I'm done watching this, the game will be about ready to play! I somewhat feel... unequipped? Not sure if that's the right word, but I feel like I wasn't prepared to jump into this, so the time of buying it, and my time of being excited for it coincides, and that's not usual. I don't actually know much about the game either due to not looking into it. It looks like it has a great atmosphere, and I hear it has great sound design too. Good timing. It's the middle of the night, and playing with a home theater system should be a nice experience. I couldn't get into their previous games, though I bought them all, the Penumbra, and Amnesia titles.
Looking at this game, which takes place in earlier London times, coming off another game in which I played that also takes place in earlier London times, which is The Order: 1886, this almost looks last-gen visually. I mean, I think it looks totally fine (and I hope its frame rate holds up as well unlike the last game), nor am I that concerned about the visuals, but I was just thinking about it. I don't know what to think about this really, as in, I don't know if I want to play it. Assassin's Creed is hit or miss. I liked The Order: 1886 actually, and I really enjoyed the older London setting they brought into it, so as I watch this, it has me interested in that respect, so I would hope they could make a nice atmosphere to run around in.
I'll just basically post what I said on YouTube... But before I do that, I just want to say, I kind of wish Brad was doing this, simply because he reviewed two and three. I just like hearing what the respective people have to say about a remaster and what have you.
I played Uncharted: Drake's Fortune a bit late, as to me, it didn't look like something imperative to play for me personally (like, it was some decently reviewed, one-off project) but in early 2008, I just got it since I thought 'why not'. On my first playthrough, I thought it was okay; it wasn't special, but I went through it again on crushing, and I absolutely loved it, and proceeded to complete it a bunch of times times, on and off until two came out. It turned out to be one of my favorite games at the time, and to this day, I imagine I still love it. Two came out, I got it first day (actually watching the first cutscene as I just finished, one of my favorite shooters for the first time, Crysis), and finished it in one eight hour sitting; the game really disappointed me.
Some aspects in which I got over and appreciated more, but the big part is the shooting. The impact of shooting felt weightless to me, and it made me just not enjoy playing the game, but I enjoyed the characters (Chloe took some getting used to), and the visuals were amazing. I ended up playing two far more than I probably needed to, doing everything in it (campaign wise), just for the sake of trying to like it more, but it never happened. Three came along, and due to my disappointment of two, I didn't get it first day, but getting it somewhat late, I learned that three was, like the first, an amazing title, though perhaps even better, and I regretted not getting it first day. I'm most excited to play the first and third again, but I am hoping I enjoy two more.
