well that's to be expected for a game that's releasing with almost zero information about itself. it's kind of hilarious how companies like Netherrealm or Nintendo will do multiple runthroughs of how poo poo works before a release but other developer will just say gently caress it and give you 3 sparse video and embargo the reviews for good measure.

That's because Netherrealm and Nintendo games actually have cool things to show off. That Gamescom story about The Order vs. Bloodborne's kiosk attendance is amazing. The same thing happened at the GameStop manager conference. The previous year as well with Vita/PS3/PS4 kiosks having almost no wait but there being like a two hour line to walk down a hallway and get killed by the mirror knight in Dark Souls 2. :3:

Sony just had no idea what to do with this game. Like if they just straight up sold it for $29.99 and was like "this is an awesome interactive movie" it would probably be getting a lot more praise now. It was over sold like hell in the initial stages of its marketing.

It's like the decent version of what this game sounds like. When it stops railroading you into epic badass set pieces and boring-as-hell mostly-unskippable cutscenes, it's a very fun and satisfying shooter. So about half the game. Well worth it on sale just for the awesome gunplay and physics; for example, a dude was running down the stairs of a football stadium to get a clear shot at me, closely followed by his buddy, I shot dude #1's leg, he toppled over, and his buddy tripped over him and landed in a heap at my feet :wow:

And then I had to do a boring 20-minute sniper section followed by a QTE boss fight and a 10-minute cutscene of Max drinking and thinking about how sad he is. So it goes.

I wish it was revealed that Crash Bandicoot was the werewolf they have to kill at the end. but then I guess this would be a Naughty Dog game and thus actually be a Good Game

Naughty Dog sold the rights of Crash Bandicoot. Naughty Dog no longer makes Crash Bandicoot, thus (as you stated) they no longer make Good Game(s).

Cancelled my pre-order. I wasn't even going to buy it when I saw people with early copies 90% done with the trophies in a matter of hours on psnprofiles.com, but I had gift card money to get rid of. After the 5 hour playthrough etc, gently caress this game.

This isn't the same guy but this is the only trophy he was missing after what was probably an evening of playing the game

You would think owning an actual legit movie studio would perhaps give them the idea to just go ahead and make interactive movies and to try making this into a genre/category and sell the game for like $20, but I guess that would take some outside the box thinking. Sony's game studios either seem to be pumping out blockbusters (Naughty Dog, their MLB game) or complete boondoggles that just waste endless money (this, everything involved with The Last Guardian).

It's the best third person shooter released in a long time (or ever). Some people didn't like the story but I thought it was great, with a really fantastic performance from Max himself. And yeah as far as the physics goes it's still the best version of the Euphoria engine when it comes to blasting people with assorted weaponry.

The only thing wrong with MP3 is you don't get to shoot enough people because the storyline keeps being thrust in your face. But other than that, it's excellent. And you get to shoot a lot of people.

Yeah, time-attack / arcade mode would've benefit from less cutscenes / loading times but AFAIK the devs did some dumb poo poo by making the game load every model in each level every time it loads, even if they're repeats? Or something?

Replace The Order with Gears of War and PS4 with Xbox 360 and this post would've been just as accurate in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2013.

Well, reviews are embargoed about 99% of the time. The Order's embargo actually expires the day before release so it's more lenient than many.

Of course. It's a big budget PlayStation 4 exclusive and Sony do not have too many of those.

Proof of concept of what, though? A steampunk third-person shooter? It's not like they're doing anything new here, there's no good reason for this coming out as half-assed as it looks.
