Looks like fuse getting shit on for being terrible had a great result in this game being a return to form. Maybe there is hope for Destiny.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding Bungie decided to ape the worst genre known to man, they'd have to scrap a lot of shit to make this work.

 

[ElNino]

This "almost impossible to die" doesnt sounds like an honest opinion about it based on all those streams that we could see, where people actually died several times in 1-2 hours of gameplay.

I could understand that there may be no penalties for dying. But, I repeat, from what I saw it doesnt looks like its that hard to get killed by the enemies (they seems to low your health bar pretty fast).

That would also go into why they (Insomniac) created the different respawns. Why bother doing that if the game was so easy that you would rarely see them?

I guess I'll find out whenever Amazon decides to ship my pre-order (probably Thursday), but I'm not too worried.

 

[spannicus]

Great to see Sunset reviewing so well. Gonna play a lil tonight when it unlocks. Congrats Insomniac.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Good to see the positive reviews. Been thinking of going to Best buy and picking up an xbone.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Well I have now played it for 45 mins and it's exactly what you expect from the reviews and the videos... I had one brief moment of pure "click" on the controls and can see what people mean about getting reallllly smooth linked traversal.

Oh and Miles if you want this, PM me a postal address... 😄

I'll even send it to ya the right way up

Wait, seriously?

Oh my god, yes please. I'll drop you a PM momentarily.

Hoo-Doo caught them feels.

 

[Jackbooted]

Isn't this common in any competing platforms? The more expensive the platform buy-in the more you'll see this sentiment. Its human nature.

Fair enough, I guess people have a strong desire to justify their purchases and decisions and tearing down a competitor is one way to do that.

I actually think I understand why that's the case GT basically mention it, while your on the ground your very vulnerable and tend to die quite often which is what happened with most of streamers I saw. However when your on the zip lines and become more effective at staying off the ground the game becomes dramatically easier and poses less of a threat. Basically playing the way the game intends you to play it is fairly easily if you do your own shit e.g stay on the ground you'll die often.

 

[SSReborn]

Probably won't get the chance to play this anytime soon but congrats Insomniac Games hope it is a commercial success for them as well.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Yep.

Why do they have different rating systems?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Well damn. That's bigger than I was expecting.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Well damn. That's bigger than I was expecting.

Resembles a glacier...

 

[Kleegamefan]

Glad it turned out great!....another game to buy!


BTW, is there any way to turn off or bleep out the swearing....SO seems like a game my kids would also enjoy playing but they can't be around with all the swearing


If not, I really, really hope Insomniac gives us a patch or download that would allow us at least this option *pretty please*

Last similar game I played is probabl Saints Row 4 and Crackdown. Not my best genre but I'll learn!

Sweet. Busy day tomorrow but will try and get it posted, otherwise Wednesday

Huh, it totally does.

Dying here. Stop it Miles. LOL

The three islands give me a Crackdown vibe. Where is the Agency tower ?

Yes. Swear filter. They can probably turn it off themselves mind you.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

No rush at all mate. Just send it whenever. I'm amazed and so thankful you even grabbed one for me.

Dying here. Stop it Miles. LOL

Probably best to just wait a few years and keep this as a game for dad. There's plenty of gore and violence and sexual references as well.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Missed out the glacier meme....what does this reference mean?

 

[Flintty]

Yes. Swear filter. They can probably turn it off themselves mind you.

That is awesome news! The fact that the gruesome things aren't really human (orange blood) and you can blank the swears means wifey might let my 13 y/o son play. He will be pleased.

Edit: Re Inferno's comments, I guess I'll wait and see. He's 14 in Dec so not too far off. Heck, I was watching and playing all kinds of shit when I was his age.

 

[...Scatter...]

All the concern trolling over how "slow" the game is

 

[VanWinkle]

It has a gore filter and profanity filter. Of you take out those, it's basically like R&C.

 

[backflip10019]

Well damn. That's bigger than I was expecting.

This made it real for me. Tomorrow!

 

[T.O.P]

Hoo-Doo caught them feels.

lmao

 

[Poodlestrike]

Missed out the glacier meme....what does this reference mean?

Somebody described the traversal as "glacial" in... I think the Videogamer preview thread, and it was so stupid it stuck.

 

[Death Metalist]

Why do they have different rating systems?

Which ever version reaches here first, gets sold first without any release dates in mind so, yeah. In this case, the NTSC batch of the game reached her first whereas the pal version of Lords of the Fallen reached first so that is what's selling.

EDIT: Something cool about LOTF is that it comes with 2 DLC thingies and a CD soundtrack. Didn't expect that.

Actually, yes! There is a vulgarity filter in the game.

 

[justsomeguy]

I expressed concern that it looked slow. I wasn't trolling. It's possible to have legit questions prior to a game's release... I was just wrong

 

[JumpJeff84]

Cool. I don't have an Xbox, but glad to hear it turned out well. I was skeptical about this one...

 

[anthonyOA]

Videogamer ended up giving it the lowest score? Who was I arguing with about their preview basically being their review, and that now the die was cast they would not be able to go back, no matter how decent the experience turned out?

They really pigeonholed their options by slating it in a preview of the first two hours of a 12-15 campaign.

Anyhow, I hope the game sells well for Insomniac so they come into Ratchet with a full head of steam!!

 

[Hockeymac18]

Missed out the glacier meme....what does this reference mean?

Can't you tell from the footage? I mean, isn't it obvious? The game moves so damned slow.

All the concern trolling over how "slow" the game is

"Concern"...I mean, where would we be without these people's comments to look out for us?

Hoo-Doo caught them feels.

Amazing.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Resembles a glacier...

Just one lone massive city in the middle of the ocean haha. It actually reminds me of the Crackdown map.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yeah, the traversal did look slow early on. I still remember commenting/complaining on it in virtually every thread until they revealed the speed boost.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Somebody described the traversal as "glacial" in... I think the Videogamer preview thread, and it was so stupid it stuck.

I saw a number of people on GAF claiming that it looked slow as well. Couldn't quite understand that one.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Actually, yes! There is a vulgarity filter in the game.

Do they beep out the word or use something that sounds like the naughty word ala Christmas Story?

[Lunar15]

Game looks stellar. Looks like the perfect crackdown-esque title that the right kind of people get a ton of mileage out of.

What has Miles done to deserve one and not me?

 

[gR.-]

Colemono 4/5 (spanish)

 

[Izuna]

Can't play this until about 3 days after it comes out. Shucks.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

What has Miles done to deserve one and not me?

Unspeakable, debasing things.

I've earned that drink. It's mine. My own. My precious....

Brb, gonna secure exclusive distribution rights to the drink in Scandinavia.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I saw 12 hours mentioned in a couple of reviews. Not sure if that's generous or not though. I hope it's not, looking forward to a somewhat meaty campaign with lots of reasons to explore the entire game world.

Pfft. Ain't nobody care about that back-end dive.

I saw 25hrs maybe that's with side missions tho
