THE ORDER's initial impressions indicating it was a 9/10 game were spot on so I am excited to see how this game turns out. PRAISE BE TO THE ORDER
I'm sure this will end up being a 7/10 game with the benefit of being kinda dumb on purpose unlike Heavy Rain.
Until Dawn is no way dumb. It's actually very clever in all its cliched stereotypes, but it goes way way deeper than that, really deep.
Sure, if you only play, let's say, the first 4-5 episodes, you'll get that all familiar slasher vibe. It's fun to read (the reviews) who has played it through and who has not. It will be really obvious who's cheating in their review.
I'm curious, what would you give Heavy Rain, Beyond and Until Dawn out of 10? (If you've even played them)
I missed Heavy Rain because of WoW, waiting for the remake. Beyond was about 7 or 8/10, I wanted to like it more because of Ellen Page, but yeah... I can't give you a number for UD, but think something big and round and take a bit from it. A bit less than Life is Strange and LiS is my GOTY contender alongside with Bloodborne.
I'm a sucker for good stories and atmosphere.

Interesting. Personally I'd say Beyond is like a 4/10 in all honesty. I thought it was pretty much a complete failure since your choices meant practically nothing 90% of the time.
It's good to have some perspective with how much you've been praising Until Dawn. Thanks.
I didn't think that much into the actual mechanics, I just liked Beyond's story and actors. It was kind of a no-brainer "game". You just pressed buttons and watched what's happening. And it looked gorgeous. And you can't compare Beyond and UD that way. UD is a game while Beyond was an interactive experience. UD's choices really count towards the ending.
Interesting. I look forward to the mayhem.Until Dawn is no way dumb. It's actually very clever in all its cliched stereotypes, but it goes way way deeper than that, really deep.

Yeah people enjoyment of the games really depend on what your looking for. Pacing, acting, scenrious, choices. It's actually a lot to think about and as people we all have different preferences. I felt Beyond was a very interesting game and tale, but the time jumping and pacing left some to be desired. I felt Heavy Rain was more successful in making me feel like decisions mattered.
So is this Resident Evil meets Heavy Rain?
Heavy Rain seems like it would be a perfect gamefor PSNow, since you're just watching a story and the input lag would barely matter at all. I wonder why Sony hasn't put it up for rental?
That sounds great, though I wish they could at least put some puzzles in, that would be the perfect mix between the 2 genres.Sort of. Imagine Resident Evil classic style camera angles, enviroments, jump scares and note/clue finding minus the combat and puzzle solving. Add Heavy Rain Qte, decision making, voice acting, movie like experience = Until Dawn.
If you're a Life is Strange/Heavy Rain/Beyond/Telltale fan and want a version of one of those with high production values set in the horror genre, you won't be disappointed; Same if the idea of an interactive movie that actually works sounds cool to you. In both of those cases, Until Dawn's at least an 8/10.

The input lag would matter, since QTEs are a huge part of the game.

How many QTEs really require split-second timing though? The lag would be less disruptive than any 3rd person action game, of which there are many on PSNow.
Not to mention that because the game is completely scripted they could probably flip a few switches to make QTE icons appear 1/4 of a second earlier to account for lag.

Input lag in Heavy Rain would render certain parts unplayable,In Heavy Rain can'tcharacters die if you fuck things up, though?
Who's going to tell him that all the gripes he has with UD are intentional?
"It's bad because it is supposed to be bad" isn't immensely comforting to someone who coughed up $60 for a game they don't like. My main concern about this game was that I don't really want to spend an immense amount of time with stock characters from a slasher movie, and doubt I'll ever feel any kind of narrative connection with them. I am mostly curious to see how the Butterfly Effect stuff plays out and how far the narrative can branch.

Then this game is not for you, seriously its been this way since day one."It's bad because it is supposed to be bad" isn't immensely comforting to someone who coughed up $60 for a game they don't like.

I like how he says it doesn't matter if it picks up after 3-4 hours. Seriously? He must hate every RPG ever made.

I know people have different perspectives when they consider a game "takes itself too seriously" but a recent video of UD I saw had the player being forced towards a cliff edge by what looked like a gang of evil-possessed reindeer.
From what I hear the story ain't that good, which is a bad thing for me. Games like these need a solid story, so I can actually care about the characters death.

If this isn't a solid story in videogames, I don't know what is. You might not like what transpires but there is much more to this story then most games. Lots of things going on. I'll say no more.

Because I don't want to spoil anything, I'll just say that I understood that reference.

Can you post the links to the impressions/reviews where you've read the story is bad?
In the earlier link you posted, the guy is only a few hours in.
