Guys. I think OP might be retarded.

The game is about psychosis, not retardation.

Everyone always whispered in the space just too far for me to hear, he's a retard! But I knew better. My mud pies were a delicacy their palettes just couldn't afford.

No Tameem is actually a brilliant creative genius. By deciding to make a game about mental illness, he can bypass any criticism by saying "because the MC has a mental illness".
>"How come the story doesn't make sense?"
>"Because the MC has a mental illness."
>"How come the dialogue is just rambling nonsense?"
>"Because the MC has a mental illness."
>"How come the combat is shallow and simple?"
>"Because the MC has a mental illness."
>"How come the game is boring?"
>"Because the MC has a mental illness."
BRAVO TAMEEM! Truly a meta-narrative masterpiece!

>>387454376

>it's told in a confusing manner so it's deep

Oh please. The story has very little actual substance. Stupid people just get fooled into thinking a story is SO DEEP when it's poorly told so that it's intentionally confusing. The story is pretty much just that a girl with mental illness wants to save her dead boyfriend and also her dad was a dick. That's about it, there's barely any story beyond that. But because it's full of pointless rambling and overacting it's SO SOPHISTICATED WOW.

>>387452386

Bravo Ninja Theory, you did it. You made the most unoriginal game of all time.

No wonder this game was announced years ago but was totally unheard of until this summer

I noticed you couldn't defend it.

I haven't played this particular game, so I can't judge it, but here is a fun fact for people who go around saying SO DEEP and "2DEEP4U" as criticisms:

There is an overwhelmingly bigger probability that you actually not getting something, then there is that the story is pretentious or bad.

Especially if you really can't actually summon better argument than vague buzzwords and vapid claims like this, or just list features in a mocking tone.
When you are faced with something that makes you that "seems" smart and makes you angry, you should actually automatically assume that your judgement of that thing is probably wrong and not really worth anything by default.

Which is not to say that there aren't pretentious and meaningless games trying to trick people into thinking they are smart when they really aren't. It's just that statistically speaking, it's extremely unlikely that you people can differenciate them from things that actually are smart.
It's a general rule, good one to follow even for people who aren't idiots.
And frankly, there is a significant chance that if you are reading this, you are one.

Seriously, there are mostly complete idiots around here. Not necessarily by IQ, but usually due lot to do with bad education and very poor cultural horizons and - above all - amazing arrogance that drives to never question their own judgements and always assume themselves more likely right than wrong.

Also why does Senua have such huge fucking teeth for fucks sake

I like Senua because she comes mind broken from the very start.

That boss battle against that four-legged beast thing was legitimately scary, especially when it hides in the dark and you don't know where it's going to jump out from.

I'm not a tranny m8, just by existing I'm already associating with myself, so a mirror isn't necessary.

>>387461097

Yeah.
Also the sequence that happens if Senua dies from getting caught by it when you're running through the dark is horrifying the first time you hear it.

>>387458510
I'm indifferent about this game. It looks nice but I'm not a puzzle and plot kind of guy these days. But your last paragraph is fucking spot on. The arrogance and lack of life experience here is staggering in general. Autist gets thrown around a lot but there are some genuinely mentally and emotionally stunted anons in this bitch.

I found it mentally draining to play, the combat was good but the camera had a few points where it pissed me off, sometimes spawning enemies right behind you just feels cheap.

But overall, pretty good story. That said I've had some dark shit in my life so it resonated with me.

Yeah it's one of the more tense parts of the game.
I like how you can see them just enough sometimes that you can tell they're horrific abominations but they're made so much scarier by the fact that you never get a good look at them.

>>387454036
Comes to the realization the abuse by her father who murdered her mother and abused her was the darkness inside her. If you complete all the runes, the game hints he sold out his tribe to the north men for safe passage and the next game may be hunting him down and dealing with him. Yet the game already hints not to pursue vengeance as it has a heavy price.

You use sound and vibration to detect where it is going to come from.

Did you not play with headphones? They are practically mandatory.

Hellblade VR, with combat and camera retuned for first person. Would you?

Mostly walking figuring shitty rune puzzles while you hear voices in your head the entire time. Slowly draining your mental energy before throwing you into a fairly decent hack and slash system that is sometimes hindered by cheap spawn behind you enemies. Just don't get cornered. Listen to the voices for clues.

>>387455118
Is Team Ninja the western equivalent Vanillaware?

GUYS SHE'S MENTALLY ILL HAHAHA

Anyone that thinks this is a good story is a pretentious fucknugget

>>387472345

Yeah, but I didn't get the impression this was a game that demanded a controller.

>>387472861

You walk through mostly linear pathways in scenic environments, solve puzzles that often involve finding certain shapes in the environment (for example, looking at some trees from a certain angle so they look like they're making an "X" shape) and fight monster things. The combat is decent - you can pretty much just roll around to avoid enemy attacks and then mash the mouse buttons, but it feels pretty intense. You can't see enemies that are behind Senua, so the voices in your head alert you when an enemy is about to attack from behind so you have a second to dodge, which is a neat use for the whole psychosis theme. Overall, gameplay is adequate but nothing great.

>>387473137
Not really. Muramasa and DC play well.

Here, let me sum up the entire game's dialogue for you.
