Hellblade

Play more games

FOV too low
Camera too close

I am literally unable to play this game without getting a raging headache after 5 minutes.

GOTY desu

Can I have a non /v/ shitpost opinion please?
I've been looking around and it does seem interesting, but I haven't wanted to read/watch reviews because I feel they would give too much away.

>>386760380
This. Plus the annoying film grain and constant whispering make this game unbearable.

>>386759295
the whispering is horrible

>>386761097
It's a great game just don't expect to play a real fighting game.

>>386761097
It's everything wrong with modern gaming. but i like it

>>386759295

Really liking the game so far. I'm up to where you touch the sword shards.

Your shadow is quite the poet.

>>386759295
Gameplay looks very meh from the trailers but I just found out about that binaural god-tier audio so I'm downloading it now. Mouse&Keyboard or Controller?

>>386763752
if you didn't figure that out in the first ten minutes or so you are retarded

>>386759295
immersion is such a meme term these days but it really does grab you from the outset and strap you in so you feel like a passenger along for the ride that only contains death and despair

All the immersion went away when I fought the first enemy. Combat is garbage.

THE HORROR

I fucking loved this game, but replace most of the mob enemy rushes with different puzzles.
The combat works, but is only fun versus bosses.

There is literally nothing special about binaural audio.

>>386765246
Trust me I have buddy, more than you probably. Only game recently tgat comes so close was soma, re7, firewatch and fallout 4(funny enough?

this game's story is laughable, why gaymers are so pleb?

>>386766295

fucking walking sims. Really?
You just admitted to basically playing to fucking games for years with these two pieces of shit.
Let me guess. You liked Gone home.

You didn't play games. You walked through a virtual museum a few times.

No fucking wonder you liked this piece of shit.

IT'S A TRICK

They barely have gameplay, Firewatch doesn't even have puzzles.

Its a 7/10 imo, combat gets repetitive halfway. The sound and some levels look really good, but the samey puzzles and the slow walk for padding just ruins it for me.

I consider VN more of a game that Walking sims. and I still consider VNS not games.

Leave it to Ninja theory to do interesting environments but shit the bed on gameplay and story.

> voices in her head and you'm just hear them whispering all around you

Is that all it is?

I was expecting P.T level soundscapes but if that's all it is that I can just play this shit on my monitors

Camera and sound are working like intended.
The game is all about being uncomfortable.

Tameem did it bros. Game of the year.

Wait there's actual permadeath? How many times can I die?

>>386772105
It's a lie.
But a good one.
I really thought I had limited deaths, so I played super cautiously and every death made me more stressful.

>>386772105

>gets out of water
>isn't wet or covered in mud

>walks on sandy beach
>no footprints

For a relatively shorter walking simulator I'm actually pleasantly surprised to see this more reasonably priced than most. $30 is far more fair than a company charging around $60 for the same length and replayability.

>>386763119
>Stiff janky movements
>Water has no ripples at all.
>Torch provides no fucking light in a dark as fuck cave.
For a "cinematic" game this looks really half-assed.

>Combat never gets deeper than dodge initial enemy swing, combo, and dodge occasionally
>Camera causes issues especially during combat because its too close, and makes it hard to gauge distance between targets, and you'll be hit from offscreen
>Combat is so mind numbingly easy that you'll rarely if ever die
>Combat encounters are all massively bloated because of enemy health numbers, making fights last forever

>Puzzles are all just walking around and looking for things
>Literal perspective puzzles
>They never get deeper, or more interesting, they're just the same throughout the game
>constant internal monologue from Senua's psychosis is more annoying than actually effective at simulating mental illness
>Senua is literally defined by her psychosis, with no other reasonable characterization
>Story is barebones and boring otherwise, with a really stupid twist ending
>Real actors are juxtaposed in with Senua's in game model during cutscenes which breaks immersion and feels really awkward
>subtitles have frequent errors and are straight up just broken
>everything is needlessly drawn out, and repetitive
>A lot of just "cinematic walking" which is really boring
>6 hour run time, which unfortunately feels a lot longer, but also, doesn't feel long enough to actually do what Ninja Theory wanted

Hope thats good enough for a non-shitpost.

>>386777574
It's a swamp, not a cave.
It is also day time, and fire doesn't really do much to enhance daylight
There are literally light rays shining through the trees. I think you just proved that you are too retarded to judge the quality of anything.

>>386776936
The rot never takes over.

Basically NT lied because they realized no one would seriously replay the game if permadeath was a thing. Honestly the game is really easy anyways I don't know how you can even die when you effectively have unlimited health.

This game wasn't amazing but it's definitely worth playing, was expecting a walking simulator but it's a very unique game.

>>386778092
This pisses me off actually. If they wanted Permadeath could've been a real thing but they made the game too long to actually make it a reasonable thing.
