Not press kit discs.this got a special press kit. Also review discs in PAL territories are red and white.

So doesn't that mean that he can't post impressions since he's under NDA?

I know I'm a hero. BUT..... this is not my disc ^^

The press-kit version always looks different. Like a collectors edition version, etc.

Well that's that.

I wish man, but games here are expensive af.

Believe it or not but after the economic crisis here in Egypt both TLG and FFXV cost me about 350$ I shit you not.

Wooo will have my copy when I get out of work. So some background info on me so you kind of know what I like and don't like (I find it important to know if your tastes align with the person giving impressions). Zelda is my favorite game franchise because to me it's the best formula in gaming. I like action mixed with exploration and puzzles. Action is usually my favorite part of games, just messing around with gameplay systems, this is why MGS is also one of my favorite series.

For open world games GTA is my favorite, I enjoy a good Ubisoft game as well. I know witcher is now the new standard of open world games but I think it's overrated. Stories are good, they should not be the focus, I found the gameplay of witcher to be too simple and stiff; most missions followed the exact same boring structure. I do appreciate the amazing world they created and how good the story was but that's not what I really enjoy in games.

So I am hoping for a game with interesting dynamic combat. A game with good variety in missions, enemies, bosses. I am hoping there is some platforming and puzzles somewhere in the game.

I take my time so I won't fly through it in a weekend or anything. I will probably be avoiding the spoiler thread as I don't want to know what happens through the game. I will try to give the best spoiler free impressions I can.

Oh and I only have a regular PS4 so these will be non pro impressions.

LETS GET SOME DAMN IMPRESSIONS GUYS. EITHER THAT OR SEND ME A COPY SO I CAN PLAY AND GIVE SOME IMPRESSIONS!

 

[vivekTO]

So some Sites reporting that the Game has huge Day one patch "16GB" according To our "magician" gaffer. I thought he only meant the pre load thing , did he talked about any patch?

Perfect...keep them coming guys lol...

 

[vivekTO]

Damn... I wonder what that would be

Let us know If its The pre -install or Patch. Sites are waiting to report anything without any confirmation. So please proceed cautiously.

 

[Smellycat]

Perfect...keep them coming guys lol...

for real lol

I wouldn't be surprised if MiamiWesker's copy breaks as he is inserting it into the PS4

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Clearly the game is so amazing, that the lucky people who have it, can't stop playing to give us impressions.

 

[Adryuu]

I'm getting my copy within the next couple of hours.
I asked in the other thread but I'm taking requests for things people want me to find out for them.
I'll also give spoiler free impressions. I've avoided almost all media since E3 so I'm pretty fresh into this game.

Also, if I finish the game before release, if you want me to sell it to you, let me know. It's the pictured Latin American version but it plays fine in English.

Nice, you got a pro or a base?

At least Wesker is giving base impressions sometime so we're good. And I'm fine with tastes.

But more base ps4 impressions is good. The more, the merrier, the less omgearlycopybbq syndrome.

Wut? Oh shit..... :/

Wut? Oh shit..... :/

And cuz 1$ = 17 pound

 

[dEvAnGeL]

I know I'm a hero. BUT..... this is not my disc ^^

Is it Boyd's?

 

[shotgunbob04]

Why did I just go through every page of this thread...

IF YOU JUST ARRIVED IN THIS THREAD: there are no impressions here for you to read. Wait another 10 hours as people who have copies have yet to actually start playing them. Give them time to not only play the game but also to collect their thoughts and then share them.

 

[he who dwells]

Plus customs fees.

Desperate times man.

 

[FelipeMGM]

IMPRESSIONS (Kinda)

Thought we'd get impressions earlier. Considering this has basically become general discussion in the meantime, I'm thinking I'll merge it with the preview thread and then try again once more who have the game here start playing

Thoughts?

I think thats a good idea. And if you could post some snippets of the impressions in the OP that would be great too!

 

[FunkyPajamas]

You could also lock it I guess and ask for PMs for those willing to post impressions. Then unlock it, ???, and profit.

I'm fine either way. I love refreshing the thread and seeing the impatient people losing it, but I understand this is pretty much off rails now.

Only half a full blink.

5/10 confirmed.

This could just be the general thread with impressions going to turn that way anyway

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Sure its Horizon?

The day he tweeted that he couldn't wait to download the review was when Horizon codes were sent out. I haven't heard anything about Zelda being out and I think that will be reviewed on the Switch anyway.

We need a confirmation that there is a inteo sequence upon booting up the game to be sure though.

 

[MegaSackman]

for real lol

I wouldn't be surprised if MiamiWesker's copy breaks as he is inserting it into the PS4

More like he insert the disc and it starts with a reminder: "Before you start, aren't you forgetting that other important stuff that's not playing with me?"

 

[Raylan]

Is it Boyd's?

Nope. Dewey Crowe. He stole it.

 

[Nightengale]

Sure its Horizon?

Vince talked about swiftly redeeming a review code around the time that Horizon's review code was being sent out to the press.

Considering that there's no other games-for-review in recent months that would trigger that kind of response, it's more likely than not Horizon.

 

[Wedzi]

Sure its Horizon?

It's Halo Wars 2 obviously.

Spoiler

Does Vince usually review PlayStation games? Since IGN kind of got rid of specific platform "teams" it's hard to tell who's playing what when they give vague impressions of a game under NDA, unless it's Ryan McCaffrey

Oh yeah I remember now yeah its Horizon then.

I believe there is, its content is on the spoiler filled thread

 

[Sword Of Doom]

So are there impressions yet? I'm hoping more badass will add them to the OP

 

[Loudninja]

Alright it's in. Time to play!

We will wait
