Thoughts on Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice? Holy shit, I've

>>386928820
I thought the first 30-45 minutes were good too.

But then it just does nothing new, and it's the same shit for anther 5-6 hours.

It's Ninja Theory garbage.

Did NT really hire all these shills to post on /v/? Damn

>>386928972

>>386928972
Is it so hard for someone to honestly be hooked into a game? Am I a normie or something? I just was saying, wow I think this is cool.

Played the first hour or so, I think, until the first combat sequence and you need to go through one of the 2 doors. It's spooky, the graphics, sound design and voice acting (and acting in general) are great but there's so little actual game in here. Senua walks so slowly, there's no way to fail when traversing the environment (you can't fall off of beams and ledges, etc) and the combat is so fucking simplistic and mind-numbingly easy.

This is 100% a cinematic experience, not really a video game. Like one of those FMV 'video games' from the 90s.

>>386929013

>>386928820
Interesting game but the combat is bad and movement is too slow even with the run button. Had some okay ideas but I ended up returning it after an hour and a bit. I liked Tameem's DMC more

>>386929436
The voices will talk to you til the end.

>combat
The "game" is just "swing your sword at your foes like a bat until you can trigger bullet time and kill them", even with bosses.

It has these points pretty good, but it is missing the crucial thing i play games for : GOOD GAMEPLAY

So all these other things the game got right get invalidated and kills my interest completely. I'd rather watch a movie or read a book.

>>386928820
I don't like the railroading, which is so severe in some places your character can't even walk in a different direction.

>>386929690
People don't watch movies anymore.

>>386928820
Combat is a bit too clunky for me. I hate the "locked in combat, can only move one segmented step at a time" kind of fighting. Just give me free range over my movements.

Reddittier, you shill. Fuck off. As someone who is a shiz someone with that amount of fuck in there head would be crippled. Like legit fucking twitching on the floor in a ball. I get it's a game trying to do a thing and that's fine but holy shit does this shit come off as pretentious.

Non-Shill real thoughts here after finishing it

Pro's:
-Ambient voices was actually good and fun throughout the game, honestly if every story game had this i wouldn't mind at all.
-Norse inspired designs were good (big fan of that honestly)
-Norse storytime was honestly more interesting then the main story
-Voice acting was surprisingly good, let down by some bad writing for the main plot.

Con's
-Combat system is actually ok, the fucking problem is the sheer lack of enemy combat variety so you can abuse and do the same thing to win most fights.
-There are only really two types of puzzles, and you could say 80% of the same puzzle which gets boring real quick
- Showing real life actors as 'ghosts' is retarded, should have left them as prominent voices
-Dillion was a beta male and no redeemable or interesting part of his character at all, Druth was way better.
-LE EPIC TWIST is ok i guess for what the story was meant to be, would have been more fun if we found out Senua did in fact fuck up alot of supernatural shit because of her mental problems giving her insight.

TLDR Ambient female voices was great, Norse story time was great, Norse inspired visual designs was nice.

Everything else was shit, so basically gameplay and main plotline gets boring as fuck after 1-2 hours.

It's amazing how can a game be promising and seem interesting for 30-40 minutes only for you to realise you have already seen every element of the game and it will just gonna keep repeating it because you know Ninja Theory.

You should stop paying attention to nu/v/ they'll shit on almost everything, especially new games that are not part of a known series.

They've always be wrong from time to time but since two or three year they'll just say that everything is shit except their Souls games and weeb games. Calling others shills is the same as the old "haters" thing. It's just 12 year olds arguying.

All of you hivemind retards chanting the same shit over and over again are pathetic. I also hate shill paranoids but this "game" is so pathetic and includes everything that is wrong with the industry. Tameem is a hack and still thinks he is some kind of big story teller when he should have just made a CGI movie by now at least that would have been interesting.

>all this shilling for a walking sim by tameem

Played it for an hour or so but under bad conditions (AC on and the volume low since I didn't want to wake others). I like the voices crap even though I didn't experience it properly. Still, I could hear the voices going off in different directions n shit. I'm sure with headphones the effect would be even better.
The combat was smooth as fuck. I was overwhelmed by how clean it was until I realize it's pretty limited after 2 fights. Still, it was a nice feeling.
As for the actual story, I'm not sure what's going on so far since I couldnt hear properly but it seems interesting enough. Also, sometimes I'm not completely sure if certain sequences are part of the game or not. Like, I fell off a beam and thought that it was supposed to happen but apparently not. I like the trippy weird parts a lot.

So far the game seems ok. Doesn't geel like it will be very long since it's getting a bit repetitive already. I pirated it but I might buy it if it goes well. It's only 30 bucks compared to the usual 60 anyway.

>>386931205

>>386931781
shouldn't it be obvious that i'm not the OP, you dumb fuck.

I grew tired of how boring the combat is. On the hardest difficulty the combat was still piss easy. I refunded it, and will probably get it when it's like 10 bucks for the story, but I'm not paying 30 bucks for a game that only 8 hours with no replay value, and shitty combat.

>Holy shit, I've played the first 30 minutes and I'm already hooked. The narrative, the voices (psychosis), environment, it's just amazing.

I watched a video of the first hour.

The voices make me not want to play the game. If they aren't telling you to do the one thing you need to do to move forward, they're saying shit like "why isn't she looking?" even if you are.
It's obnoxious. And whether that's the intention or not, filling all the empty air in your game with obnoxious not-characters rambling incessantly is... not fun.
The story itself appears to be pretty by-the-numbers.

The combat looks like... maybe... it's good? But I hate the TPS camera.
Also it seems like the puzzle segments outweigh the combat segments, and the puzzles are just the same perspective thing every time.

Overall, I'm not sold.
If I ever do get this game, it'll be when it's like, $10 or less.

It really is wasted potential and that really makes me sad because everything looks and feels so good. Especially fighting the few bosses there are.

As close as you can get without having it yourself IRL. It can vary from sounds of distance normal talking to Synesthesia like "hearing" voices. One of the most telling signs a person can give is they often jerk their eyes or head as if they just head someone call their name.

While I hate NT for ruining one of my favorite game series of all time, in this case I decide to let go on the hate for them.

Why? Because I hate the whole western industry way fucking more. Fuck cinematic experiences, fuck generic gameplay and fuck trying to emulate other mediums

It's Ninja Theory so I doubt it, but have they learned anything from all their games that were terrible and failures and managed to make a not shit game?

>>386938732
it's pretty nice in game desu senpai

Basic ccombat system combined with minimal enemy variety and uninspired encounter design make the combat a complete bore. Perspective based puzzle mechanics are good but quickly run into the ground thanks to repetition. So the gameplay is utter shit. Aside from that, it's occasionally atmospheric, I came close to enjoying myself when walking in the dark.

Not even worth pirating unless you have absolutely nothing else to play and can't bring yourself to do anything not vidya.

>>386928820
it's neat but it feels like they wanted to make a Cinematic Experience first and added gameplay as an afterthought. it's a very linear scripted story with small arenas with a few badguys every once in a while. the combat is very simple. the match-the-shapes "puzzle" sections feel so out of place it's confusing.

it has an interesting story hook and setting, and the minimal UI combined with the voices in your head is a cool idea, although they start to get annoying after a little while (which i think is part of the point). plus it's beautiful to look at, despite being dirty and dark most of the time.

a large portion of it is a slow paced story heavy walkaround game, which is fine with me but i can see how it would turn people off if they were expecting a combat heavy monster fighting game. overall i enjoyed it but i'm glad it was only $30 with how short it is and how little replay value it has. if it cost any more i'd probably be annoyed.

After having pirated it, I refuse to believe anyone honestly likes this pile of shit.

Visually, the game is pretty great. Very crisp and runs well. There's a few funny details missing like no footprints in the sand, and Senua being water and mud resistant, but all in all it's a very pretty game. Sound desgin is this game's big strength, though.

I'm just having a hard time believing that NT released a game that wasn't an edgefest with zero subtlety at all. Read Alex Garland's interviews about Enslaved, DmC was not a one-off in the 'one-note psychopath protagonist' stakes. Tameme has zero grasp of characterization.

It was a pretty damn good game.
First off, it is gorgeous.
Secondly, the story is pretty alright. It has ups and down, but mostly it is good.
The atmosphere the game creates is fucking INCREDIBLE. It really dominates your first run through. Something always feels like it is going to happen, and your emotions play tricks on you.
The voice acting REALLY sell the main character. She doesn't say much herself, but her inner head voices are great and fucking with you. When Senua DOES talk, the acting is spot on, which is impressive knowing the voice actress isn't professional.
The combat is samey samey, and way too easy to get good at. The only thing that helps that at ALL is that the game doesn't really take the time to teach you the combat. In the very least, it's mostly well paced for something where you have to figure it out on your own. Still leaves plenty to be desired there, though.
The game kinda goes into a lull around the middle, but picks back up pretty well. The ending was fairly predictable, but not disappointing.
Some of the boss battles really pushed the combat in the direction it needed to go. Too bad there wasn't enough of that.
The puzzles, yeesh. They really bounce between hard and satisfying to incredibly easy and forced. I would have liked if they had more puzzles which were open ended, insofar as letting you have access to an entire area and giving the player a chance to fuck up the puzzle. IIRC only ONE of them is like that, and it's easily the best in the game.

Overall, it's a great game, worth the $30, and has a good amount of polish and emotion in it. I highly enjoyed it, and recommend it for anyone that is interested. It IS very story heavy, so if you are looking for gameplay, or just one of those people that wants story to take a backseat, this probably isn't your cup of tea.
Last but not least, I got a bit of a Journey vibe while playing it.

ALSO DmC was FUCKING GARBAGE and FUCK YOU Tameem you ugly sack of shit. NT can fuck off.

Better than DMC2 and DMC3 at least.

My first pic and this one are both I took in game with Gyazo. Lots of moments in this game to use the photo function to get cool screencaps. I didn't fuck with the games built in filters though, didn't see the need for it.

>>386948840
Who was the edgy self-insert in HS or Enslaved?

>D-do I fit in y-yet?
There is plenty on here, though, right kiddie?

>>386948784
Better than 3?
Are you fucking insane?
3 was one of the best in the franchise. Still need to get 4 SE though.

>>386948930
Much better. I don't like TMNT tier slapstick humor, there's really not a single boss or enemy design I thought was interesting or not annoying to fight, repetition of bosses is crap, I like Kat over Lady, I like DmC music over 3's (though neither of them are that great), styles system was fairly shit in 3, and Vergil in 3 is equally as fucking faggy as DmC's.

>>386949189
You don't like slapstick humor, but your fine with my dick is bigger than yours?

>>386949189
>there's really not a single boss or enemy design I thought was interesting or not annoying to fight
>but a shitty version of Cerberus and Vergil, a zelda boss, and two mediocre bosses are interesting
Nah

>>386948917
Maybe not HS, but in Enslaved, it was meant to be Monkey. He was originally supposed to be a takes-no-shit badass who'd kick a struggling man to his death, just like Kratos because he doesn't give a fuuuuuuuuck.

It has no gameplay and the puzzles are mediocre as fuck.

It's like 3 steps above Gone Home, but if you're only three steps above complete shit then you haven't made it too far and the stink still hits you.

>>386949478
The Hunter is fun enough on harder difficulties and Barbas has a good design. I liked fighting the dreamrunners and witches. I'm not saying I hate DMC3 but I just preferred DmC.

very boring
the stories that games get praised for are always so goddamn dull

It seems almost like you and I played different games. I thought DMC3 had fantastic combat, challenging bosses, great combos and combo capability via the style system and weapon swapping, fun character doialogue, etc.
Different strokes I guess.
That said, DmC was way too edgy, the story was WE HATE FOX NEWS WAH AND BIG BUSINESS (I'm a moderate lefty and even I was sick of it), the combat was boring and shallow, the platforming was AWFUL and made me want to rip my fingers out, and despite all this, I still S ranked everything because DAMAGE BASED SCORING WOO.
I always liked DMC for the fun gameplay and MAXIMUM CRAZY, which 3 gave to me in spades and DmC was entirely devoid of.

>>386928972
>Did NT really hire all these shills to post on /v/? Damn

they did the same shit with DmC.

Don't forget enemies which could only be damaged by using certain weapons, which was literally the only reason to use Light weapons at all.

>>386949905
CUHRAYZEE combat is meaningless when the game doesn't require it. Neither DMC3 nor DmC really require it. Also, DmC does have style still:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv4fmXbdyGs&t=157s

Overall I liked DmC's story, it had some obviously weak parts to it but it's not like this is a franchise with an award winning story or anything. It's about demons, angels, nephilim and shit, demon power struggle, a Cain and Abel brother conflict, etc. DmC felt like western comic book writing which I am also fond of.

Get fucked angry niggerboo. If I killed you and shit in your corpse, the best thing about you would be my shit in your corpse.

>>386950479
The games by themselves didn't really need the MAXIMUM CRAZY, but you could have fun with it. And do the gauntlets where it came in quite useful.
Also, I suppose I can understand the story bit. I still don't REALLY know the stories of 1-4, I just played them for the combat and such. Story was never their strong point. The story from DmC REALLY irkced the shit out of me, though. Just not my thing.

>>386950810
Same for DmC, and then there's turbo + styles mode.

Ninja Theory is in this very thread trying to get you to buy their ass game, you can tell they're only here to shill the game because they're overly angry and vulgar to anyone that trashes the game while also trying to convince you that other games that were garbage were simply great games with teeny tiny flaws.
Kill yourself Tamamama you hack.

>>386951396
If you want to trash the game and make sure everyone you know doesn't play the game, go for it. I'm all for it and behind you. But I liked the game. I hate the company, their other games, but I liked this one. Deal with it and stop being a sperg.

>>386940841
To each their own, I find the voices to be a pretty fresh take on characterization and over playing for a long time the game sorta teaches you to listen for the voices.
The story might be by-the-numbers, but the way in which its told is completely unique.

Idk everyone's saying it's good for an hour and doesn't get better. I thought it was kind of meh for an hour and suddenly gets really good at a point. The three characters in the story are all involving, the hallucinations are smooth as fuck and there's a whole fuckload of interesting Norse mythology to learn about. The music is really fucking good and the presentation as a whole is great.

Combat's kind of repetitive but appropriately tense and never comfortable. Puzzles suck but are easy and the symbols are really simple once you know how to tell where you should be looking. A straight up 8/10 game.

>>386951716
>>386951910
No fuck you faggots. If you want to advertise your shitty game go ahead and post an ad and fuck off, don't be dishonest and try to fit in to a crowd and sell your game like a drug pusher. Let people form their own thoughts instead of infesting people and planting opinions in their heads.
If you spent half as much time making a good game instead of viral marketing maybe people would want to buy it and say good things about it on their own, now go fuck yourself.

>>386952273
Not going to fuck off. I liked it, Don't give a shit if you never buy it, or if nobody ever buys it, but I liked it and I'm here, not fucking off. Deal with it.
It was a good game.
I liked it.
Yaaaaaaaaaa.

>>386929715
>Is the constant whispering even realistic?
Someone who had a psychosis, me, yes and I can't play this game because it fucks with my head.

I only experienced auditory hallucinations though, can't speak for people who had visual hallucinations.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the story should play out to the point where none of it is real and never happened.

>>386952919
Ya, the entire thing is an episode she is having in her mind right after seeing her boyfriend Blood Eagled by vikings.

Honestly if you're over 25 and have a computer you MUST try this game

>>386952273
Oh for fucks sake, it's a pretty fucking interesting experience and people who've played it are going to want to talk about it you pathetic piece of shit. The fuck is your deal?

>>386955143
Agreed, everyone who doesn't already know to stay away from NT games should pirate this one just so they know they're not missing anything, and so they can see through the shills and the retards that much easier.

>>386928820
It was a meh game with great story and atmosphere. I mean puzzles and combat system are okay but nothing more (i liked final fight tho)
Story and atmosphere were really good tho. It was spec ops the line all over again for me desu.

Great soundtrack, a documentary afterwards that really makes you unironically think.

The game won't appeal to everyone, but despite weaker puzzles and simpler (but fun) combat, it's a great game. Atmosphere and sound design are it's best and most unique parts.

I don't usually engage in conversations here, but I did during the days around the game release and I know I won't do that ever again. This place is full of contrarians who didn't even bother informing themselves of the game, or just idiot underage trolls.

The game is pretty solid, doesn't want to be an AAA title but still manage to impress.
Storytelling is great, too bad the actress used for Senua is not a professional actress and some facial expressions weren't very good, still decent acting.
Combat and puzzles are balanced, it's not a Souls-like game with tryhard bosses n shit.
It get's really dark after a couple of hours and you can't help but get emotional and cheer on for Senua.
And the fake permadeath thing... very clever...
It's a very nice game overall

>>386928820
Game is garbage. The voices never STFU and it's all just pointless drivel they say. "Go right" "She's scared" "Look there". Jesus can it be any more pretentious? It's trying to be all arty but it's just lazy. At least say something thoughtful.

Plus it's not even a game. Just walk around and open doors. Graphics are the only thing going for it but at that point I might as well just watch it on Youtube, on mute.

>>386946234
Meanwhile GTAV still is $60 and in the top 5 best sellers month after month and you never see a single ad for it anymore. Good products don't need constant shilling.

Finished it the other day. It had good ideas, but was about 85% boring walking to the next section.
I liked the simple combat though it was too easy.
I thought the voices were a good idea
Lore was fun to listen too, but probably not if already are familiar with Norse mythos.
Puzzles started out clever-ish, but got tiring quickly.
I disliked everything else.

>>386929690
That's what these games are trying to be, so why not?

>>386928820
i didn't play the first 30 minutes, i watched them because THIS IS A FUCKING MOVIE just like the ones on consoles

If you want a quality Norse game just save your money and wait for the new God of War.

If i wanted a """""""""""""""game""""""""""" like Hellblade i'd buy a PS4 which has plenty of """"""""""""""""""""""""""games*""""""""""""""""""""""""

*may contain residues of gameplay

Irritating. Why do you use that face shot for every single thread you guys make?

>>386966532
Just kill yourself. You should read reviews about the game, if it isn't something you like then don't buy it.

It isn't made just for you.

Remember that time when Ninja Theory legitimately had people shilling here for DmC?
