Definitely more in the vein of Heavy Rain and Farenheit, because they are all made by the same bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've heard while similar it's far better than those, I'll never forget "Press X to Jason". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Justice Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I enjoyed Heavy Rain and thought Beyond: Two Souls was OK. Not sure if I have the mental capacity for those style games anymore though. I can see myself getting bored quickly. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Road to World Cup 98 was the last decent FIFA game. Anyway Assassin's Creed Odyssey has been a pleasant surprise. Was expecting to be bored shirtless by the three hour mark, but I'm finding it incredibly addictive. Not finding the grind anywhere near as bad as people are claiming. Some naff side quests but overall the most fun I've had with series in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real try-hard stuff that was ham-fisted in it's design and it consistently failed to elicit an emotional response from me. If Detroit is more of the same then I'm glad I gave it a miss. Life Is Strange hit the chord perfectly. The ending of Valiant Hearts nearly had me in tears. Heavy Rain tried to hit you over the head like any bad Oscar-bait movie. Turgid stuff.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Heavy Rain at least looked nice I guess. Farenheit is one of my worst experiences as a gamer. First red flag was when I opened the manual (remember those?) and the devs were practically begging people to enjoy it. I've had Life is Strange sitting in my library for ages. Need to give it a proper go sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Deadly Premonition is possibly my fav game ever but Heavy Rain isn't a patch on it, I feel insulted for Swery that you'd mention them together like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First red flag was when I opened the manual (remember those?) and the devs were practically begging people to enjoy it. I bought it off the back of @Mr. Seven's recommendation on a lunch break at work. I enjoyed it, never finished it though! Apparently I dodged a bullet because the ending has mad stuff to do with polygon people and all sorts. Given you start as a police detective, look how the endings read from Wiki: Good ending: Lucas learns the secret of the Indigo Child, and the winter disappears. He and Carla have boundless hope for the future. Orange Clan ending: The Oracle learns the secret of the Indigo Child and three months later everything seems like normal, but Lucas knows that one day the plans of the Mayans will reveal themselves. Purple Clan ending: The Purple clan learns the secret of the Indigo Child and the world is covered in an eternal snowstorm, with three quarters of humanity wiped out, and the rest living underground. The only hope Lucas and Carla have for the future is their unborn child, presumed to be the next Indigo Child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because both games favour story over engaging gameplay, created by pseudo auteurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted October 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2018 I can't buy into the argument that a game can feature horrible gameplay whilst packing a great story. The story would be hard to enjoy and invest in due to the awful mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The "awful" gameplay of Deadly Prem is hugely overblown, it's mediocre at worst and is really just of PS2 game quality as that was when it was originally being developed. Where do you stand on things like text based adventures or other genres that are very limited on gameplay and are all story based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all over them I am a massive fan of the Monkey Island franchise and many point and click adventure games. I'm not dissing Deadly Premonition or any of Swery's other games. D3 was an enjoyable experience, but the controls were utter bobbins. I have backed Swery's next game on Kickstarter, which looks enjoyably bonkers.
