So here's my honest opinion without shitpostong nobody asked for

YOU SHOULDN'T LET IT RUN AROUND EVERYWHERE GOOD.

not op's fault, cat are retarded by nature.

OP IS RETARDED BY NATURE BY LETTING HIS FLEA BAG RUN EVERYWHERE UNLEASHED. CATS ARE DOMESTICATED ANIMALS THEY LITERALLY DON'T CARE WETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A LEASH. OR DO YOU THINK IT'S HAPPIER AS PANCAKE?

>>oldest house looks cool, but it's getting boring pretty fast, because everything looks samey
>>some enemies/bosses are terrible bullet sponges
>>combat options are limited, and they didn't reach the full potential with wielding supernatural powers
I see that Remedy hasn't learned anything since AW and QB

Oh shut the fuck up you faggot, cats are not domesticated animals at all you imbecile.

Yeah sounds about right. But I have to give it an extra .25 points for the hilarious fridge boss and the absurd puppet shit. I just don't get how reviewers were giving fucking 9s. The tech behind it is good, barring the optimization clusterfucks, but the spectacle isn't enough to supplement how shallow the gameplay.

Like someone explain to me why they just didn't give you an actual sniper, shotgun, assault rifle, BUT made it so that your main gun had even sillier upgrades from the "SCP"s you met?

Sam Lake has all the creative control and hes got Kojima disease where he really wants to be making movies instead. But goddamn if that man doesnt create the comfiest atmospheres in all of vidya

>that ending
>no meaningful use of shifting geometry and gimmicks departments
>not enough optional puzzles
cool as fuck ashtray maze though.

Seriously, remedy needs to stop wanting to make a TV series andhire some more develoeprs.
The concepts they've created are really cool, the Board and the Former, object of pwoer having a gimmick, everything is a great idea, but never expanded upon really.

i also expected some more pwoers tied into the various objects and maybe some dimension hopping with the projector (those reports about Ordinary were really great read)

Having someone like Arkane to help with level design would've elevated this game to 10/10 status

Attached: ctrl.jpg (2560x1538, 524K)

Anyone else realize that the gimmick of "you can grab anything" actually doesn't matter at all? All the objects you throw nearly all act the same and even if there wasn't anything to grab, she'll just grab shit from the ground to make a rock further highlighting just how inconsequential the system is.

>i also expected some more pwoers tied into the various objects and maybe some dimension hopping with the projector
This so much. So many wasted opportunities.

The most disappointing part about all this is that the fucking upgrade system for your abilities all revolved around generic number gains. Like come the fuck on.

Imagine if you could upgrade the gravity gun to levitate and throw more than two objects at a time.
Imagine if you could upgrade the shield to have a massive whirlwind of death fly around you.
Imagine if you could upgrade the levitation so that you can actually fly fast.
Imagine if you could upgrade the force push to just completely obliterate everything in front of you.
Imagine if you could upgrade the "dash" to shine spark status.

Fucking imagine all the actual fun shit you do and then contrast it to how completely neutered the abilities are in the game.

>CATS ARE DOMESTICATED ANIMALS THEY LITERALLY DON'T CARE WETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A LEASH

lol no. they fucking hate being on a leash. do you even cat bro ?

this game has surprised me in different ways. i think the concept they're going after is really cool. it's flawed though and is way too short. 4 years of development only to get a 10 hour campaign is a bit shit but they've put a hell of a lot of detail into the the world even if it is really small and confined to one building.

also one thing that shocked me was how it loads so quick. like it literally takes 10 seconds to fast travel even on a basic hard drive. also there's that recurring scene where you hit the light switch 3 times and it teleports you to a whole different location with no loading screens at all. either they're fucking tech magicians or this whole marketing wave sony have been going on recently and their SSD no loading screens is just bullshit and we can already do that. they're probably using it as an excuse to sell another $600 console.

yeah, even having more realized departments would've been great, only the luck department had something going on for it (one puzzle, heh)
>dead letters had no secret pneumatech running on prayer
>the furnace is possibly an intruding organism but you never explore or fight it
>power station is not running on diabolical energies or some trapped eldricht beast
>research sector is not a bunch of small specialized department that work with rituals and popular belief
>no sifting through possibly supernatural garbage in containment area
>medical wing is not injecting liquid prayer to heal astralnauts
>toilers are not secretly some supernatural dimension pockets that are just waiting to eat you

You fucks called it SCP so much that when I played it I was actually horribly disappointed how little SCP there actually was.

Where were all the incredibly wacky enemies and one off unique mobs that were just balls to the walls insane? I was expecting something on the level of the original SCP game in terms of variety.

>The cat (Felis catus) is a small carnivorous mammal. It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from wild members of the family

>CATS ARE DOMESTICATED ANIMALS THEY LITERALLY DON'T CARE WETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A LEASH

lol no. they fucking hate being on a leash. do you even cat bro ?

Have you read some files though?

Yes?

What's the point if they don't translate it into actual mechanics and intractable entities in the game?

Worldbuilding.

Agreed. I just got passed the part with the furnace and I can feel myself getting bored with the combat. The intrigue of the story has me going, but that also feels weaker than quantum break and Alan wake. I love remedy but I can never understand why they can't get gameplay locked down.

Jesse Dylan Faden had a hard life.

Wanted to play it for the combat but it sucks. The story is more interesting but I'm not playing a game where I have to stop to watch little videos or read a billion office notes where maybe one in ten give important clues instead of just being witty or repeating something I already know. Nothing about it is that bad it's just not fun enough to play.

>repeating something I already know
They're rather expanding your knowledge on the things presented in game, and those that happened in the past/elsewhere

don't be such contrarian faggots

the game is already critically acclaimed
you just hate it because a.) steam drones crying about epic and b.) MUH UGLY WEMENZ

Rest in peace catto

Fuck critics, also nobody except you mentioned anything about those things itt.

Why the fuck do devs insist on shoehorning in leveling systems in games that have no use for them?

Artificial depth.

Occasionally you can grab something that explodes. Imagine if instead if the boring as fuck +% upgrades you could buy upgrades that shapes non-exploding crap into a spear/disk/ball

>you could buy upgrades that shapes non-exploding crap into a spear/disk/ball
God so much potential completely flubbed for a glorified techdemo. It keeps fucking happening Remedy.

Remedy's games always have this disconnect. The story is always full of mystery and intrigue, but the gameplay is always barebones as fuck and borderline takes me out of the game. Do they just prioritize their budget on the visual and story aspects of something?

it's a decent game
my condolences user

>could have scrapped the retarded material gathering shit and just made the forms into upgrades
>could have had upgrades that allowed you to pick up regular enemies and throw them/crush them/dismember them
>dash could have upgrades that damage/knock down/ignite enemies you pass through
Either they ran out of time, money or they're fucking retarded.

>Imagine if you could upgrade the gravity gun to levitate and throw more than two objects at a time.
That's a shield's throw.
>Imagine if you could upgrade the shield to have a massive whirlwind of death fly around you.
That's a levitation's ground slam.
>Imagine if you could upgrade the levitation so that you can actually fly fast.
That's a dash in mid air.
>Imagine if you could upgrade the force push to just completely obliterate everything in front of you.
That's a launch and a shield's throw.

Yeah, like the Director before Trench. Go listen to NSC hotline again. It's fucking Northwood powering the shit

How do you even buy this game on PC ?

You don't, Tim bought it for you.

It's only on the EGS ?

Yes.

In hl2 you could cut zombies in half with the gravity gun.

Shit, I've been searching Origin, Windows Store and Steam. I haven't read anywhere that the game was an EGS exclusive. They can shove it up their asses. I mean even more that before.

The pistol can also be a shotgun, a machine gun, and other shit.

Why couldn't they just have given you every weapon then?

I have a hard time playing this game because my GPU is at like 87°C playing it. I don't want to abuse my graphics card for prolonged periods like that.

> finally I have everything under control™
Fucking seriously Remedy??

What GPU? I play on a toaster myself.

You find "find" Polaris inside yourself again and reject Hiss, try to cleanse Dylan who goes into coma, you accept your position as a director, Hiss problem remains

Rest is DLC I guess unless there's a true ending after doing all the sidequests

Darling said she is not the source but catalyst. What did he mean?

GTX 1080. Runs around 45fps with a mix of high and ultra.

It's annoying how aggressive the engine is with texture pop in when it never even goes above 4gb usage at Ultra. Also they need to stop doing that extreme closeup of main characters eyes where you can very clearly see the pixellated eyebrow texture, either upgrade the texture or stop using extreme zoom on low res textures.

More like Control+V
because the gameplay is so repetitive

He said that about Hedron specifically... fuck if I know what he meant

The question remains, is the rubber ducky an object of power or not?

Pointless if her face is the same. I like her civilian clothes though

hard to say, something about the mystery and the lack of exposition or how the mc involve the player (or is she? is her second voice (you) or not?)

You'd know if you touched it

i have a 1070 and it hits 80C max and i average around 60 fps ultra. that's a problem with your PC not the game.

Games should really try to use this first person narrative style more. They're always trying to be movies so they don't use it a lot but when you're playing a game you're inhabiting the role of a character so an inner monologue makes a lot more sense.

Turn down the resolution. I get a massive performance boost by just playing at 900p. Pretty much locked 60fps on a 1060, with some medium settings thrown in (max reflections though)

I think that hiss problem remains is just a pretext for post game clean up and side quests.

rate the npcs:
Ahti > Darling > Trench > Dylan >>> the two guys standing pointlessly in Darling's presentation >>>>> everyone else

Spoil it for me. I doubt I'll be going back there

it just teleports around

The duck starts to teleport around you Quacking at a distance and teleporting away when you get close

Lame

Literally nothing wrong with her face. She's still atractive and you guys are just memeing/overacting/shitposting.

Can you even get rid of it?

I haven't bothered to 100% the game so I don't know about the left over lingering Hiss that were still on this side of the portal when it closed but you do close the portal to the source.

its ok

>SCP game
>enemies are normal shootpeople that are glowing red
pffff
The star of the game is the Oldest House.

It's an SCP game, made by normies who didn't understand the gist of SCP all that well.
Or how to write one.
Or what to do with them in a game.
Also the narrative really suffers from the lack of D-class personnel, and substitution of their functions with security staff..
Basically it's a mom-friendly neutered SCP specially for babies who can't handle harsher version.

They just stole the bunch of most boring stuff off the wikia and did nothing interestingwith it, making it even more boring
>the creepy sculpture is now a fridge.
>There is the Architect, but it does nothing really space-mangling
>the mirror world is a classic neutered defeat your evil twin trope
>the others are just as boring

There's no altered versions of the bureau or glimpses into realities where bureau has failed, there's no really wicked shit like SCP-1861, Unlondon or world-in-symphony etc.

There are occasional sparks of brilliance, but they are very few and far between.

One way to cope.

Higher res in this game destroy the performances so you're actually better off with 1440p or less. DLSS is absolute shit, never ever use it

is the story just about two entities that came out of the projector, Polaris and Hiss? One got inside Jesse and the other inside everyone else?
I kind of wanted to know more about Polaris, the speech with the brother of how Polaris and the Bureau are using us to do their shit, what was that about? Plus, the part where he talks about their names and how they could be switched or something...

The entire gameplay loop is doing headshots and then spamming launch as the gun reloads. The story is dull and up its own ass. The characters are non-existant. The setting is the most boring office imaginable. The music is some cheesy C-rate Youtube horror.

But it makes sense in this game because everything is classified.

Yeah bullshit. They did the same sleep-inducing shit in Quantum Break. Remedy can't do storytelling worth shit.

The best part about the original SCP game how it would just completely blind side you and literally take you to another dimension if you fucked up or took a wrong turn. Or how utterly relentless it would get later on as all these weirdos stacked on top of each other strangling every inch of movement you can do. How there would just be dead ends that just completely fuck you like the skull or the bell and even completely innocuous shit like the peripheral lizard. Playing that shit blind was equal parts frustrating as it was utterly brilliant as you discovered all the SCPs in the game.

You really did feel like you were in a fucked up zoo/amusement park. But without a doubt, the best part about that shit was the grinder/clockwork thing that had so many dumb but intriguing interactions.

I never felt any of those at all in this game. The puppet part was fucking great though.

Wait that's the ending? Not even a boss? The side missions had tons of bosses.

What's the percentage of people who pirated it vs those who bought it?

Do I have this straight?
The Board, Former and other side bosses are astral beings
The Hiss and Polaris/Hedron are being from another dimension that vibrates on another resonance frequency.
The Janitor is a Norse God?

It isn't an RPG. It's unironically better for it to just be +% shit in this context because otherwise more gameplay mechanics would be gated into the game out for artificial "Growth".

The way it is now you basically have everything from the get go and just get some simple progression to boost up your favorite weapons and abilities. It isn't an RPG.

He's not asking for an RPG. He just wants progression/upgrades that shakes the game up as new mechanics get added to your abilities.

Because after a few hours the action becomes boring as fucking sin.

NOOOOOOO PS4 bros it was supposed to be OUR exclusive

Attached: fridge.jpg (2560x1440, 1M)

Was it ever advertised as a ps4 exclusive game?

The outfit and mission is ps4 exclusive

Like I said, progression for a game like this just gates away things that should have been available in the beginning. If you want more combat variety than ask for it, but having to wait until the end of the game to be able to fully use your character doesn't make action games more fun.

The Janitor is obvious member of the board. Remember, you're even working under him.

It's really fucking boring. And after the boring fest of Ion Fury god fucking damn it.
It's not bad. But I really dislike the minimalist hud and shitty trendy everything is polygons shit.

TIME STOLEN.

Why do modern games always have that really shit pixel mess of an hair

ok buddy thanks for your contribution

removing the alpha layer saves 1byte off every pixel in the image file.

see
consoles are literally operating on sub low settings

The way the action unfolds and how they made sure the music is synced to your progress is really good. Jesse also puts on the headphones and takes them off later.

gee I wonder why there's a file with every single fitgirl repack named 'VERIFY GAME FILES BEFORE INSTALLING.BAT'

>download shitgirl repack
lol

Because they use TAA by default and it blurries the image so much most people dont notice
as to why exactly, probably some retard said it looks good

that pic is from pc version on max lmao

TAA is actually made to reduce that shit. The pixellation is an alpha layer optimization because alpha effects are expensive as fuck.

That's not very expensive though
and now the hair looks like shit and the game is a vaseline smeared turd

With no MSAA.

What's the purpose of the secret mold area accessible from quarry entrance? The only thing down there is a single random loot container but it's actually pretty big and requires the television in order to get back out.
Cut content? DLC hook?

Of course.
Why would i ever use msaa on top of taa.
I can barely make out the details with aggressive sharpening as it is.

It fix the hairs.

MSAA gives you less grainy hair because they use alpha to coverage. It also improves geometry aliasing and things like fences and grates a lot. 2x MSAA is worth it for the very small performance penalty and nice image quality boost.

Polaris is pretty nice, though.

More blurriness is not worth it.
I'd enable it if i could disable the godawful taa.
The shitty hairs is the last of your concerns with this game, the image is so blurry during gameplay you don't even notice anything(including any detail the game might have had).

You're way too retarded for this game anyway so if anything based /fit/girl saved you 15 hours.

holy shit the performance hit from having that heavy motion blur is crazy, toggling it off gives me like 15 more fps even when nothing is moving.

MSAA does not make the game more blurry. It's also not a particularly blurry TAA implementation. Do you mean the motion blur?

But where the fuck did Darling go

>the hiss

Attached: confused-argonian.gif (237x223, 4K)

I read it as Hist every single fucking time. Can't help it.

MSAA never add more blur though. It's the cleanest AA there is. What is it with zoomers who think the only type of AA are postprocess AAs.

Ahti is likely a member of the Board in human form.

Well not him but the game IS blurry due to the TAA. MBlur isn't the culprit since it's always blurry even when nothing is moving.

Just reached the "subway station" , im assuming im about 80% or so deep into the game and just found a "secret room" that gave me 1 ability point and a collectible file.

Have i been missing a lot of those? whats your experience anons? i usually do fine finding secrets in games

Probably escaped into one of the Slidescapes. Either that or he's dead.

He's either the house itself or "Ahti, finnish god of depths".
I don't think he's a board member at all, all the loops they need to jump through in order to directly interact with us seems like it would be a pointless frustration if they could just manifest in our world directly.
The former couldn't do it either.

There's quite a lot of tiny little nooks and crannies which give you 1 ability point before then yeah, they're everywhere.

Ahti is The Oldest House. He takes his vacation in the Foundations, he can control the building shifts, and cares for the building, not the people in it

I mean, we know that things like Polaris and the Hiss can attach themselves to people, items and locations, and even Former itself can do it with Altered Items. Who's to say that Ahti isn't something similar.

And referring to Jesse as "his assistant" even after she becomes Director, seems to imply that he's definitely higher on the totem-pole than she is.

Yeah of course your correct, we just don't know enough about it all to say for sure do we. That's what makes it fun though!

Well fuck me , i ll have to check again the whole map now with flight (the one i found was only accessible with flight)

This is at native resolution with 2xMSAA. It's a very standard TAA resolve. If anything it should be a little blurrier to properly suppress aliasing. They also bias the texture LOD too much so it sparkles a bit in motion.

I think you keep your complaints vague because you didn't play this game for very long, or at all.

I havent finished the game yet but my take with Ahti was that he was a manifestation of the oldest house too.

>Epic exclusive
No thanks, i'm playing Kenshi instead. When CONTROL comes to GOG i'll give it a try so can you stop shilling now?

All the invisible walls piss me right off holy shit, it smacks of poor level design. If you don't want me to reach something, put it out of fucking reach, don't use an invisible fucking wall.

RIP your cat mate

It's a versy standard vaseline, vomit inducing smearfest.

This is the best game they've ever made, and it's brilliant. Someone should gather all the leftovers from 8gag and ban them from having access to the internet.

>shotgun, assault rifle
Ah, you didn't finish the game.

A lot of the people complaining that the game isn't "SCP enough" don't really seem to get it. The game draws massive amounts of inspiration from SCP, but it's not ENTIRELY that. Control takes bits of inspiration from so many things that it's essentially a stew of weird fiction.

Sure, would it be nice to have more crazy shit in the game? Yeah, it would. But I'm not going to whine about it because I understand how working on something and implementing it properly can go, and all the fuckups that can arise if you try to rush it or just cram a bunch of stuff into the game all at once. I'm fine with the flaky sit we got so far, and I'm really interested in seeing where they go from here now that thry have a base to work from.

It's almost exactly as sharp as a classic box filter MSAA resolve and those were always too sharp to be temporally stable. This game should actually be blurrier for higher image quality. Something like Doom 2016's filter kernel with sharpening turned off is much better.

Then why did you bother posting on this thread?

Corrupted samples only drop form Mold enemies. You kinda have to grind for them since there are so few Mold areas.

Most of the people complaining in this thread seemingly haven't played the game for very long and probably just rushed on through whilst expecting it to spoonfeed them everything. Either that or they just haven't played the game at all but think their opinions still have weight.

There are secret areas behind breakable walls.

Yes TAA is as sharp as msaa
lmao

Who else here missed The Pit until the postgame

or y'know they just have a different opinion you retard

Meh. I dont really care about what the game was telling me.

Not saying it's a bad story or game not at all. I get shit is so expensive these days you cant go ham.

Look at the edge gradients on my image. They are very very close to a single pixel box filter like fixed function MSAA. It's too sharp and should be a bit blurrier. They should also remove the negative LOD bias so the textures don't alias.

You are fucking retarded if you think msaa is anywhere close to taa
No one cares about your shitty, microscopic, cherrypicked part of some

I think it's just a case of the average docile Yea Forums faggot trying to fit in and not go against the flow.

And that's fine. Just don't act as if your opinion is something objective and defines something you've barely played, if at all.

i'm not the guy you were originally talking to, i just think you're being a retard just because somebody like this stupid shit game

Which are the mold enemies, the ones who blow up?
Where can I find some?

Edge gradients are edge gradients bro. Every scene is the same in that regard. For geometry edges in motion obviously TAA doesn't have any samples to rely on so the quality is worse. For a still image like that it's better than MSAA.

>stupid shit
Try again, user. Maybe get some better insults that don't sound like you're fresh out of preschool.

The pit (under research) and in the medical wing.

see you take it as an insult personally, get a grip you loser. the game isn't very good just like everything those finnish retards have done since mp. stay mad virgin

I see we've got organized shitposting going on.

I wish more was done with Mr Clogg, it seems like a perfect opportunity to build up to something huge but it goes nowhere, the second encounter is especially disappointing.

I guess you also need better English too, since I can barely understand your post as it stands.

Thanks bro

might want to work on your reading comprehension then you retard lmao,
also "need better english", you are one dumb little cuck kek

underrated

Interesting observation:

When manifesting powers, especially holding an object to be launched or hovering, a field of force is projected around the character which can lift/push small objects, with hover providing a slightly larger and stronger field, however there are things which are not influenced by this field of force, namely Health Elements and Pickups. They are not influenced at all by this force.

The force around an Astral Spike CAN lift Health Elements and Pickups into the air, Elements tending to float in place while pickup items bounce around more like the rest of the rubble it has collected.

It doesn't mean anything really, almost certainly an oversight, I believe those things aren't meant to be movable for a reason, but it is interesting nonetheless.

Anyone found any cool secrets that haven't already been talked about?
Is there anything hiding in the firewall?

Well, there's Kojima's voice cameo but that one has been talked about to death.

no.

>Fully upgrade the melee attack tree
>Level 1 launch does the same amount of damage, at range, and can obviously be upgraded to do considerably more

Cool, good balance there. I especially like how they cost the same amount, you know, just to make sure it's fair.

Why would those need to be the same?
I swear you faggots are just nitpicking the smallest shit at this point just to fit in.

>no meaningful use of shifting geometry and gimmicks departments

I died once during the ashtray maze and poets of the fall song. It was the biggest loss of fun boner I have ever had. Absolutely lame of them to make it so that you have to start at a fucking control point after that rush, mother fuckers.

Same thing near the ending: that red colored area where you have to float down while Dylan talks. Somehow I managed to die to fall damage. Again, same thing, start at a fucking control point. Jesus fucking christ whoever decided that should be shot, it totally ruins the immersion.

Melee doesn't cost energy or ammo so you can use it when you're all out.

>Why should melee be stronger?

Because you have to expose yourself in order to use it? Because there are less viable targets for its use?
It's riskier so it should be more rewarding, how does that not make sense to you?

Darling meant that Polaris was not meant to be something that sticks with Jesse forever, someting she can cling to. Instead she was a catalyst for her to realize her full potential.

How do you need to expose yourself to use it, when there's literally a shield to help you approach targets? Turning this shooter into a melee game would have been a really stupid idea. Melee serves better as a "get out of a pinch" solution than a main combat mechanic here.

>No, you must play how I say! You can't expect melee to work because I don't use it!

Does anyone know who is the actor of Darling? IMDB only says voice actor, so does that mean that the actor in the videos is different from the voice? I think he was pretty good.

>Paine Elevators

Yeah I think he nailed it in the video clips, that was fun stuff.

good
Fuck cats.

Yeah, this was really old. Modern games should not use this vomit. Like ,when you can see to the other side of a wall through a crack she could obviously fit through, but can't go through it.. ugh.

I just finished the game and did a shit ton of side quests, but I never got the parts I needed to make Charge. In the end I even went to do 5 additional side quests hoping to get the parts, still did not get them. It was some kind of grenade gun?

Seems fucking lame to me that they made it so difficult to get it and the game is over before you get the parts.

I'm guessing they apply open world logic in this game and you need to go to a specific section to get the needed resources.

What is this TAA? I've never seen that setting in any of the games I played. Only FXAA and MSAA.

I had the materials to build the charge soon after I got the recipe.

You can easily make the charge in the first half of the game

based

You haven't played many games then.
It's temporal anti aliasing

Ok, so does Witcher 3 for example have TAA?
That's a good example, I don't remember.

Ok, then I guess I was wasting the materials I had on upgrading something else or more or less useless. Bleh.

No idea.
Console games mostly use it since the graphics are so trash you just smear it with TAA and call it a day.

It does not. They use something like FXAA I think.

I don't think this game uses TAA. Looks like the ghosting look is a result of the light and shadow engine in the game that uses rays to render which leaves ghosting when moving the camera.

It's a clearer but sometimes more smeary FXAA. Really depend on how it's implemented but in Control or RE2 it's pretty damn bad, while in Doom 16 it was fucking perfect

But the entire image looks so blurry even without moving

in what way does this
look blurry

but TAA is just FXAA that uses frame data from older frames. It shouldn't blur more when not in motion.

It definitely uses TAA. If you run the game at a lower resolution than your monitor you can see the resolution get much higher as soon as you stop moving the camera. They're accumulating samples to the full resolution final buffer.

I missed my chance to pay this at Gamescom. Did I miss anything good? Is the game worth playing?
My last Remedy games was Alan Wake, and I really enjoyed Max Payne 1, 2 and before that.
Haven't played quantum break but I play on giving it a try.

Attached: 1538927624839.png (300x300, 74K)

oh you poor summer child
you should probably look into what TAA does to motion, you're in for a treat
It's the cheapest, most budget blurring method that came from console games so it's not that surprising

FXAA is much cheaper than TAA. TAA was rarely used on the 360 and PS3 because it was expensive. FXAA is a filter that tries to search for aliased edges and blur them. TAA reprojects pixels from the previous frame and accumulates them like SSAA. You can get ghosting and blur in motion from bad TAA implementations if they don't properly throw out samples on surfaces that changed. TAA has a huge advantage in modern renderers because it can correct undersampled effects like SSR and SSAO and it solves shader aliasing which MSAA can't touch.

What is it with AAA devs and TAA these days?
Why is it so widely used?
Don't say consoles because TAA looks like shit at 1080p and 60fps or 1440p 30fps, which is the performance that they are aiming for.

Attached: 1533232688276.jpg (399x464, 52K)

TAA literally has like 1 frame cost
And you can use it together with upscaling from a lower resolution which is how it came to be used on ps4 and xone and then popularized in other games

>TAA literally has like 1 frame cost

Yeah but that was my favourite frame

It has a small performance cost on modern hardware because modern hardware is very fast. On the 360 and PS3 it was a luxury option over FXAA. Temporal upscaling is objectively far superior to plain spatial upscaling because it can accumulate more data and approach native resolution.

What are you even talking about

I don't give a fuck about x360 and ps3 nigger, i literally named the ps4 and xone, the consoles that popularized taa.
I also sdon't care about your retarded attempts at arguments, TAA is a poor niggers choice and a spit in the face to the people who made textures and models for your game.
TAA is only acceptable as a toggle option that anyone with a shred of dignity will disable.

How would you do antialiasing for a modern high end renderer then?

I would redefine your retarded definition of "high end renderer" as the first step that i won't even go through.
But in the end, just make it an option you can disable. Yes, it's that simple.

I see you haven't tried exploring much. The game makes extensive use of invisible walls to keep the player in their area, when from a design point they could have simply made certain platforms/openings a little higher or further away.
Basic design stuff especially in a game which gives the player so many mobility options.

The Quarry is a stunning example, as soon as you get there you can climb up the sides and find areas and viewpoints that you're not meant to see, yet there are blocks you aren't allowed to stand on for no reason at all due to invisible walls boxing the whole area in.

Try flying through the firewall and tell me the game doesn't use invisible walls lol.

If you were in charge of the graphics technology for a game released in 2019 with realistic graphics what would your preferred solution for antialiasing be?

A toggle.

So your personal preference is no antialiasing? You're not even going to make an argument for any other method?

Why not just make Alan Wake 2

Quantum Break and Control are hot garbage

My personal preference is an AA toggle, so i can disable or enable it you empty headed dude.

I'm having trouble with Essej, can anyone give me some tips?

I asked what your preference was if you dislike TAA. What would you set your toggle to?

Hide behind as much cover as you can. She'll obliterate you basically the instant you stick your head out.

>Why not just make Alan Wake 2
>Quantum Break and Control are hot garbage
You just answered your own question.

TAA:ON
TAA:OFF
I like MSAA to a point, SMAA and downsampling.

MSAA
FXAA
TAA with strength slider
Render Resolution slider
Sharpening with strength slider

how long is this game? Im interested but i don't want it to be a game i blast through in one go

I got bored and didnt beat this game but it did make me want to go back and play mass effect mp and run around as an asari with a talon and hurricane.

It's not terribly long if you just blast through the main missions, 7-8 hours for most people I imagine. Maybe less I don't know.

But there are some fun side missions to do also

Ignore the random generated missions, they're crap

Easily over 12 hours, unless you're a brainlet and refuse to read/watch the lore stuff and do side quests.

Can you stack the same mod on a weapon to recieve more of the effect? I know you can install two of the same mod but are they actually working or does it only take the higher effect?

It's fun

someone mentioned breakable walls earlier, i've not come across any, what's that about?

Why the hell did they limit the levitation? If your going to let me fly around then let me fly around, don't limit how high I can go or how long I can stay in the air.

That looks really fucking cool but its still the same combat loop as when you unlock the launcher skill. Kinda depressing

They really needed a fire power that could be a fireball, flamethrower or even other shit. Even Quantum Break's time shit would have been cool, its crazy how awful the selection is. The 2018 trailer showed off everything but Seize

What's the deal with Lab 79?

You can break some walls to open up secrets and get neat stuff.

I do not believe you.

That slow annoying levitation was so fucking dissatisfying. You felt like you're flying through slime all the time. So glad I'm done and deleted this garbage.

>complaining about levitation
>when literally any game that gives you unlimited flight sucks donkey balls 90% of the time
Fuck off.

I found the perfect comparison game that has a similar "fun" factor that wears off quite quickly: Prototype.

It's super fun using the powers at first, you get different ones, at least in that one you could move around large areas.

But once you've fiddled with them for a few hours, it gets old reeeeally fast.

DCUO did flight right.
Fun, fast, satisfying.

How many Threshold Kids episodes are there? I found like three, and one of those was through the looking glass

>an MMO where pretty much everyone has soem access to flight in some form
>comparable to a metroidvania-like game where the whole point is exploration and searching for shit whilst managing your own internal reserves
Retard.

is it possible to swap character models? I just want to play with my anime waifu.

I completely disagree on the comparison. This game rewards using all of your abilities to their extent more and more as the game goes on. That provides added variety. Prototype just gives you bigger versions of basic powers to do more better damage to more number enemies.

One offers some (easy) kind of skill curve to climb, the other doesn’t.

Yes. With a mod you can also take off some clothes, it's pretty cool.

MetroidVania? bAhahaaha
what kind of nu-terminologhy is that

Is it just me or does it feel like this game ripped off a lot of elements from Dead Space?

This happened to me as well.
It was fucking horrid. I was on such a rush, got through 90% of the stage, then it threw me to the control point. Insanely bad level design to do that that late to the story.

How so?

It's a 20$ game. It isin't really worth more than that

Wait, something happens with the poets of the fall song room?

The gay as shit console game "too close over the shoulder" type camera for sure.

I would say it ripped off Inception, Dr. Who, Lovecraft, FEAR, STALKER, Channel Zero...

He is talking about the Ashtray Maze, when you wear the headphones. Rock song when you're blasting enemies.

The PotF audio room is just a gimmick.

>The PotF audio room is just a gimmick.
Whats the gimmick, I sat in the room listening to the song waiting for something to happen and nothing happened, unless gimmick is just the inclusion of the song

Exactly thats what I meant, having the full song in the room is the gimmick.

The Ashtray Maze is different band though.
Similar voice in the clean vocals, kinda.

Thats because its the same band with just a different name lol

It's the Incantation, the verbal form of the Hiss corruption. Presumably, listening to it without either an HRA or direct intervention from something like Polaris would completely fuck you over.

Pope analyzes a part of it, and finds that the most repeated words are Want, You, and Time.

Also this Max Payne 3 did this to make them looks realistic by holding them with other hand.
But in this game you got a fucking SCP weapon that literally can change its form, limiting it into two choice are fucking dumb

Maybe they didn’t expect people to want to use more than 2 weapons in 10 seconds.

Consoles. Remember that console peasants have a limited amount of buttons to work with.

Its fucking retarded need to changed your weapons whenever you fight in tight corridors and then changing it again when you enter an open area, even fucking worst a tight corridor that also got an open area in a single few steps.
This isn't a fucking RPG.

Go to sleep Sami.

Literally any weapon combo is “viable” in any situation in this. It isn’t that type of game where you NEED a sniper or shotgun. Pick 2 that you’re having fun with and mix it up later if you want, stop being such a bitch.

Oh for fucks sake you're telling the truth, I just went there myself.
Goddamn, it looked like a normal wall to me, things like that should have a tell.

Also it didn't give me the secret area found message, when this is easily the most secret area.

Why do people call it a sniper rifle?
You mean Pierce?
It was a pistol that shoots one bullet at a time...

I hated the mechanic that if you held it charged too long, it would shoot it away. Ugh. Consoles...

Ask the other guy, and how the fuck is that a console problem.

Are you actually defending controller system in a shooter game? what the fuck is wrong with you?

See

Autism and brainletpilled.

Because console are limited to fucking controller you fuck head and the devs literally decide to pick them because controller are more popular because of shitty console you dumb fuck.
Older MP games got no problem with this because they were made with K&M in mind.

Mostly some of the locations have a very Dead Space type of aesthetic/vibe. Both the fridge boss and the mold boss are kinda similar to some dead spaces bosses. The way the guns move when you switch and aim them. The levitation feels a bit similar to deadspace 2 zero- g. Picking up stuff from the environment and throwing it, has been done before but is a bit similar to the way deadspace does it. I'm surprised they didn't utilize the telekinesis more for puzzles and interacting with the environment like deadspace.

Throw shit at the healing orb and then seize it, nigger,, it can't heal itself and it'll start healing you

The "blobs" shield disappears with 1 or 2 Launches. They were super easy to deal with. I never used shotgun as I felt it was the most useless one of them all -- because most of the time the enemies are too far for it to be effective.

But if one does not level up Launch early on, I can imagine it to be really shitty.

Calling it console shit doesn’t explain how charging guns is a console problem. I can think of no exclusivity nor benefit towards consoles when it comes to that. It’s just a shitty mechanic.

Calm down you fucking trannie, the only game I play on console is bloodborne.

Are controllers less capable of holding down an input than a mouse? Or are you a third worlder who doesn’t understand english?

You fags have serious mental problems.

At least I'm not a consoleshitter with their limited option.
Oh yeah, let me rush into a fucking tight corridor full of 3 shielded bulls and multiple grunts stand still for couple seconds just so I can got raped by multiple grunts and failed the limited time quest again.
I got no problem if this only an open place, but the Maintenance are got so many tight corridors that limited your view.

In my case I never managed to get them to heal me, as my Launch killed them so easily, did not even occur to me that that was possible. Interesting.

Launch is used for several puzzles actually. It's also WAY less limited than kinesis is.

Also, not sure how the bosses are similar to DS ones? There's little that you could use to compare thrm beyond aesthetic, and even that's a stretch.

>Are controllers less capable of holding down an input than a mouse?
You tell me, why all today devs decided to ditching the old shooter system where you can carry at least 9 weapons at the same time?
Now we down to carrying two type of guns, what a fucking joke.

Most of those things but especially flying fast isn't possible because of consoles. Movement speed is capped in lots of console games so the data being loaded in is ready by the time you get there.
It's why Spiderman on the PS4 is so fucking slow.

Stopped reading there

Are you meme-ing or just plain retarded?
Do you know how tight the corridors area between the pump station and the control point?

I found one at the transit corridor north next to the stairs that lead to the plane wreck on your way to the ordinary awe. Its a wall with a picture and theres a fence around the corner next to the stairs where you can see theres an accessible room.

This scene was really cool. Except for the fact that I somehow ended up in one spot that led to an endless pit and I died, during this atmospheric scene. Fucking hell Remedy, could have skipped that shit for this kind of areas. Ruined the immersion totally.

It’s not the games fault you’re somehow too dumb to play it. As easy as it is.

Oh yeah, its my fault that 3 goons keep spamming multiple homing grenade launcher on a L shape corridor.
While 3 shield grunts blocking the road that keep getting healed by the blob whenever I spam launch and shotgun.
Nope, not the game fault at all.
I bet you guys don't even know where the corridor place at on the map, just shilling this game because this game is perfect with no fault at all.

Not that user, but the game did have some annoying more difficult parts too. Like the Polaris beams thing. That thing was shitty.

I got to the last one, and was just having fun, shooting things, throwing things, and then suddenly one of the unique mobs appeared and pretty much one shotted me.

And the game makes me start all over. Those kind of mechanics are NOT pc game mechanics, they are shitty console game checkpoint mechanics.

>Actually doing the limited time missions

They're a waste of time.

I'm playing it right now. The only remotely tight area between the pump station and any other control point is the cave corridor, and not only is there plenty of room to evade, you'd have to actually be brain dead to not be able to punch through that with all the rocks in there

Was doing it because i need the credit for pierce gun, that flying blob are fucking annoying.

>to not be able to punch through that with all the rocks in there

When you get the Dash powerup you'll have a much easier time of things, no worries mate.

There are so many things this game lets you do... you can run past them, run back if you need to so they come one by one, as long as you keep moving they cannot hit you for shit...

This is genuinely a very easy game user, you're just bad at video games

That reminds me: one of the most disgusting things in this game was thoe huge yellow announcements about the random missions. During the most pivotal moment in the main quest, for example, I got that obnoxious announcement on my screen. They should definitely not be on during the main story stuff.

I don't know try not being bad I guess, two weapon limit is lame though

So was it the hiss fucking with Trench for ages or was it the former?

You mean the evade?
That literally the one that killed me when I tried to passtrough the corridor so I can chase the blob.
This game trying to be old school shooter while still using nu-shooter mechanic.
Multiple grunt doing GL spasm on open area I can get by to it, but a fucking single line corridor is retarded.
What make me frustrated is that because i was near a control point I can just keep healing myself and I did that.
The shielded grunts keep going back and forth on that corridor while the stupid small grunt keep shooting homing grenade on me whenever I showed up myself. making it impossible for me to moved forward.
Then out of frustration I tried to brute force my self with the evade dash, and that the thing that killed me and failled the mission.
Died rushing into never ending grenade spasm.

Bait harder consolekids.

This is ironic right?

It was the Hiss. Former might have helped in fucking up the place a bit, but the Hiss was what was eroding Trench's mind to the point he started fearing that the Board and Polaris/Hedron were manipulating everyone, and that he needed the Slide Projector to stop them.

Wtf that sounds like something from PSOne days. I remember those games that made you play 30mins again to get where you were, if you died.... cancer.

Honestly I really fucking bored of this shit. It's everywhere. It's in every fucking sci fi now, everything is a fucking floating geometric shape wannabe 2001.

Other than picking up cube shaped batteries and plugging them in (which deadspace also did) I can't remember any other puzzles that made use of launch. Maybe the luck puzzle cause you have to move the fish. Launch is pretty much required for some bosses. I don't know I just get a very strong dead space vibe from some of the gameplay and some of the locations.

I just completed one of Ahti's side missions; Cleaning the Mold from medical, and when I destroyed the last mold it said it was complete, removed itself from my missions list and... that was it. No reward, no payment, no "go see Ahti" who gives me nothing when I do.

Can someone explain to me what that deal with Polaris and that metal sphere that came down, was?

Was Polaris corrupted by the Hiss or wot? Or was there some kind of deception? It was very confusing.

>zoomie needs constant rewards to keep his interest up

Some rewards are given in the control point screen only.

That's not it, you're being deliberately obtuse now.
I've not had another mission that gave zero reward or zero acknowledgement for its completion before, so it breaks the pattern of what is normal for missions up to now.
Obviously I have to wonder if it is a glitch.

Why do Remedy games always turn out to be such a bore? They say to have everything going for them, but I can't bring myself to finish any of their games.

You thought Max Payne was a bore?

Yes when I say Max Payne, I mean Max Payne.
Not Max Payne 2.

Polaris was an opposing and benign force of resonance that emerge from Slidescape-36, where it first met Jesse and Dylan via the Hedron entity, which was essentially something that 'projected' its resonance outward. Like the Board, Polaris is opposed to the Hiss in defence of humanity and was guiding Jesse to the FBC in order to combat it and prevent it from breaching the lockdoen and consuming reality. Following the destruction of Hedron, Jesse is seemingly the core vessel of Polaris' resonance.

The HRAs seemingly channel its resonance to block out that of the Hiss.

So the mold boss was giving me troubles then I just went down there and stood to the left of the biggest hill cover and it glitched out allowing me to just stand there and shoot until it died wtf

Was Hedron man made? It looked like just some machinery they put together.

And what happened to Polaris when Hedron went down? It just went back to its own realm and cant communicate to Jesse anymore?

I'm pretty sure those missions give you some materials and currency for weapon upgrades.

ok

The Hedron/Polaris stuff confuses me.
So Hedron and Polaris both come from the same place, right?
Polaris has powers but for some reason those powers have to be channeled through Hedron, a completely different entity? And somehow that is how the HRAs work but Polaris didn't know that or couldn't be arsed to signal some significance about it all?
And now Hedron is dead, so Polaris can't channel her powers through it but....that changes nothing at all? So...

I feel like i'm missing a piece of the puzzle here.

Nobody knows where Hedron came from, but its seemingly 'natural' wherever it came from. As for Polaris, it 'communicates' to Jesse in the endgame, using her form to do so. Its basically a part of her now, using her as a receptacle in the same way that it used Hedron.

It's up for debate if Polaris and Hedron are separate entities engaging in symbiosis, or if one was just an expression of the other.

From Wiki: "The Hedron is an extradimensional being originating from Slidescape-36 which acted as a conduit of Polaris's resonance."

I for one do not understand why they would want to complicate things unnecessarily by having that "entity" be the middle man between Jesse and Polaris. Does it make any sense? Why couldn't the story just be that Polaris was communicating with Jesse? We learn of Hedron and then it is destroyed within moments. Seems like really shoddy writing to me.

Gameplay: 3/10
>Gunplay is pretty medicore and the fact that every gun uses the same ammo pool means that you usually stick to one the entire time (terrible design decision).
>The throwing power is done exceptionally well and is the only time I've found it not to be tedious and clunky in a game; it's almost fun even.
>Rpg and loot mecahnics are mindnumblingly pointless filler and you will probably forget to even equip new gear and skills at some point because it's all boring '+5% to some bullshit' that has zero impact on how you play.
>Enemy variety is ok, nothing particularly special.
>Side quests vary from barely decent to pretty lame. Not a whole lot of effort went into them.
>There's some environmental destruction but it doesn't add anything to the gameplay at all.

Characters and story: 5/10
>Really fucking likes cutscenes.
>MC is boring as fuck and literally looks like a tranny at all times.
>Pretty much all the primary female characters are boring or annoying in some capacity.
>Other characters are a mixed bag, with the science and the "janitor" guys being pretty good.
>Not much to say about the actual plot so far, other than that it's pretty reminiscent of half-life and the mystery elements are reasonably interesting.
>Sam lake has a bunch of audio logs as the former SCP director that really push the limits on pretentious writing. Don't think they were supposed to be ironic like max payne, either.

Setting: 8/10
>The one thing it does really well is being a pretty good knock off of the SCP foundation.
>Though so far the majority of the SCPs are actually pretty lame due to just being inanimate objects that give you telekinetic powers after you solve a puzzle.

Overall like 5/10, worth downloading.
>ugly horizon zero dawn trannies shilling control on Yea Forums
yup

The relationship between Hedron and Polaris is all kinds of weird. It seems like theyre separate things, per what we see from Jesse, but it's clear that Polaris is just raw resonance and can basically survive so long as it has a host, which Hedron seemed to be. Darling even goes so far as to call Hedron "a catalyst", indicating that it's not the source of the resonance. Polaris gas basically taken Jesse as its new Hedron, using her to manifest its resonance.

The gun reload is so fucking slow and annoying

It should have actually turned into excalibur, or longinus spear or mjolnir or whatever the fuck it was during other ages.

So why is everyone just floating?

Yup, that is the only reason I died sometimes during my playthrough. Nothing more annoying than seeing the allahu akbar mobs come at you and cant get the gun to work in time.

because it looks cool

But like, is there a reason story wise? I havent had a chance to play it yet.

Can someone explain to me did the game explain how come they treated Jesse as the new director "Oh my god, youre the new director! Pleased to meet you" style, and Jesse just played along with it.
Obviously she had not met any of them before so how did they all act like she had applied for the job through a recruiter or something and they knew her name as the director?

The Hiss has possessed them, but they're dormant.

Hiss corruption. The ones who have combative capabilities are used to try and kill any non-infected, whilst the ones just floating about recite the Incantation

>SCP themes

are there actually cool items/monsters that are housed in this place? or is it just the spooky corporate secret building thats scp style?

Because she had the gun

Basically, they know that the Director is chosen by The Board, through the gun. Anyone who picks up the gun and isn't the Director it is strongly implied they just fucking shoot themselves dead on the spot or at the very least can't use it.

So, because they know that, there's little point in questioning it, She has the gun, she can use the gun, the pictures in the house have changed to her. She's obviously the new Director now and the Board knows best.

The game really could have handled it better, it should have been JESSE's reaction to it being so nonchalant that addressed the players' feelings but no, they skipped that for some reason.
Jesse's reactions pissed me off multiple times actually, there's one point where she says "Even though this situation is hell, I like it, it feels right" and all I could think was "Holy shit lady, you've got one magic dimensional entity riding in your head protecting you, you've got a magic gun, you've got a host of magic abilities given to you, you've got The Board backing you, no wonder you're having a good time. Everyone else is FUCKING DYING have some goddamn perspective"

It's both

that's really sad

>"Even though this situation is hell, I like it, it feels right"

I was actually 100% sure that there was going to be a twist that she was born in the other dimension or something like that, based on those lines.

But it turned out to be nothing...

The map is so shit to get around im fast travelling everywhere pretty sure i wont play this game again

Console game, console map

It should be kept in mind that Jesse has basically spent 17 years dealing with the shit from Ordinary. Kids getting addicted to the Not-Mother's milk and turning into atrocities, all the adults and presumably her own parents up and flat out dying out of the blue, Dylan getting blackbagged, probably being shifted about from place to place snd being treated as absolutely insane for her convictions that strsnge shit happened, having Polaris guiding her, etc.

It's pretty clear that Jesse is entirely jaded and has more or less stopped giving a shit.

How is the sound design, is it good? Does the ambient sound add to the scary feeling?

I would say, playing the game on my PC, through two huge floor-standing performance speakers driven by a big old amp, that the sound design is completely spot-on, there are several locations where the sound really increases the tension and it is generally good throughout. Except for mission notifications, those spoil it.

>Watch out for the shifting house, you don't want to get lost!
>Careful, the house could shift at any time, don't get lost
>The house never shifts, the only movement is when you cleanse a control point of hiss influence and the room goes back to normal, nothing actually moves around/changes connections

Cool, way to fucking waste the mechanic on the intro scene.

I'm looking for a traffic light that is rogue in the Panopticon but I can't see anything, anyone point me in the right direction?

Where you found the flying TV, you gotta play red light green light with it

Aha, thank you. I wasn't expecting them to reuse that room for some reason. I'll go sort it out now.

The slow loads on death, the putting you back to control points at death and the gun reload being so fucking slow has put me off ever playing this again once is enough jesus christ fuck this game

I'm enjoying the game but I hate, Hate, HATE, contextual controls.

Is F use or change weapon? It's both of them! Do you want to grab that piece of paper that is zipping around or do you want to change weapon? Oh look it's right in front of you now, change weapon it is!

Is Space Jump, Climb, Mantle, Hover or Slowfall? It's all of them! Hopping over a wall straight into slowfall instead of flight is such a great and cool way to die in a bottomless pit that you wanted to fly over, sure is a shame the game decided what I wanted to do was fucking kill myself.

This shit is inexcusable, i've got 101 fucking keys in front of me and a multitude of modifiers on top of that, fuck you. Fuck. You.

>bullies turn their friend into a fucking alien dog
Nah, it was implied he did it himself, by giving in to that other dimension

Is there a mod that fixes her face?

The best part, the cherry on top, is that "Melee" and "Air Melee" are two different fucking buttons.

SCP is bloated shit, though, so it makes it kinda even.

>There are occasional sparks of brilliance, but they are very few and far between.
sounds like they captured SCP perfectly then

I'd bump gameplay to 5-6/10, story to 6/10

The setting carries it, but if gameplay was 3/10 (i.e. really-really bad) you would've just drop the game.
Not in the mood to describe what I disagree on, but I think that 1 ammo pool makes for great, frantic fights that force you to think on your feet.
RPG and loot are the weakest part.
But does it all really constitute fucking 3/10?

>>Sam lake has a bunch of audio logs as the former SCP director that really push the limits on pretentious writing. Don't think they were supposed to be ironic like max payne, either.
How the hell Trench's stuff is pretentious? He is quite literal in fact, down to
>It's director's duty to keep the lights on

Sam stuff has always been hit and miss meh, but Max Payne corniness was nice, it didn't take itself serious. And the nightmare sequences really took you by surprise. It's not nostalgia I dont think he ever did something as cool as those pseudo lynch tv segments and overall max payne cheese.
Alan Wake is mediocre, Quantum as well. This one is just whatever.

GIT. GUD.

>the board was actually the good guys
That was the most surprising thing to me. Really thought they were behind everything. Hiss and all the shit leaking into the real world.

That's just because every single media creation from the last two decades can't keep their dicks in their pants and just HAVE to make the authority figure evil.

Jesus fuck off back to facebook if you really don't know

You've not played enough, all the OoP are in the prison

>Add one point more if you're a SCP fag.
this is what basically drove the game for me
the beginning was good and some ending sequences but it was kinda generic and meh for most of the middle
they should lean harder into 'scp' stuff and make it more weird with a sequel too bad remedy doesnt do sequels anymore

They show their hand a bit with the former but yeah, I was waiting the entire time for them to be the baddies and... they weren't. Gameplay isn't the best but the background lore is really enjoyable.

I think they just wanted Hiss not to leak into the Astral Plane to fuck it up, even if they couldn't corrupt the board itself.

Some of the fluff mentions a dream showing the black pyramid being invaded by red, with the red eventually replacing the black pyramid entirely. It was written on a whiteboard if I remember correctly.

Could be nonsense, could be directly related to the hiss taking over the Astral Plane and kicking out the board. You decide.

YOU AREN'T GETTING AWAY FROM ME YOU FUCKING TRANNY, YOU'VE POSTED 5 FUCKING TIMES.

So there are two confirmed breakable walls so far, right?

The Former fights are an absolute textbook example of poor design, you have to look UP to harm the enemy but you can't see the holes it makes then.
It's just another piece of evidence in my mind that the flight was, at some point in development, free form. Meaning that you could fly UP.
What we have now as soon as you misstep you just gently sink into the death pit, it isn't fun and it isn't engaging, it also isn't DIFFICULT, the boss is never going to kill anyone except by them accidentally stepping to their death. It's a mess to be honest.

Especially the flamingo phase, where every misstep death means you get to do the pink bird mash again.

This game for me was worse than quantum break, I went through that twice, this I wont be going through again the map just isnt enjoyable to explore and the gunplay is terrible.

Yeah, they shouldn't have closed that site. Now all the potential school shooters hang out in here.

>effect does not fade
It does tho, it just take way to long

Well, I'm just basing it on that Ahti didn't really get corrupted but who knows by what mechanism he was even physically there or if he's special even by the Board's standards which is also plausible.

the controls are awful (thanks for making me hold & release button to fling shit at people instead of letting me push the button, run around, then push it again to throw it)

so how is this game overall? judging by this thread, it sounds shit. the gameplay looks fun, though

It's okay. If you like Remedy then at least give the game a fair shake.

At the same time, you also need to realize that being a Remedy game it'll have all the shortcomings their games have.

Positive:
-I liked the fighting, gunplay and fucking with your force
-Game looks graphically stunning.
-The Janitor was pretty cool

Negative:
-Character design is absolutely awful
-The writing goes from boring to absurd
-Worst level design I've seen in years
-Everything looks the same until the last 20 minutes, when they packed out the cool shit
-Story is a mess

Pretty forgettable game desu

The combat while flashy get stale fast and you mostly fling shit at enemies while taking pot shots.

>b.) MUH UGLY WEMENZ
This doesn't really bother me or turn me off the game, But I don't understand why she looks great on the cover of the game , And looks like Christoph Waltz in game.
It's just not consistent, that bothers me.

>thanks for making me hold & release button to fling shit at people

On KB+M it means holding an object and moving to your right requires you to move your hands from the normal home-row position, it's a fucking crime against controls and only made worse by the fact that it isn't their first game. They should know this fucking basic shit.

Middle-click is a secondary default bind for launch.
And you can change controls in options, you know?

imagine flying fast on a base ps4 at a buttery sleek 10 fps

How did Jesse get her powers back after Polaris died?
Is there a second one "the player" giving her powers directly now or does she have the powers herself?
Also I really liked how in the end the Board turned out to be neither good or evil just stuck in the middle of all this bullshit between Hiss and Hedron like everyone else.

>How did Jesse get her powers back after Polaris died?
did you not listen to the ending?

I did. I heard two conflicting things though.
Darling said Hedron was a catalyst for a different source that Jesse could now tap into directly.
Emily said Jesse was the source of those powers.
Which is it?

Why did Jesse LOSE her powers when the Hedron died?
The powers were nothing to do with Polaris/Hedron, they were from being bound to the objects of power, which in turn were empowered by The Board, other people have used them without and involvement from Polaris/Hedron.

She didn't lose her powers. She was fighting Hiss inside her mind without the help of Polaris/Hedron

tl;dr parts of her were inside them the whole time, didn't matter if the source died

The hallway between Black Rock Quarry and Furnace, how do you get there? I've been to the mold area and its a dead end.

i took it to mean hedron was a limb of sorts rather than the source itself, with jesse having taken its place

Where you climb through the wall to go to the mold area you mention, instead of going that way, go back to the tracks and look up. There's an area up there and a door. That's where you go.
You can get there early with creative jump-dashing.

Dragon Age Inquisition was also critically acclaimed

The only time It shifts is in the first minute when you meet the janitor the area loops around and the elevator appears.

I'm a vet, and I always tell my clients to put screens on their windows to avoid having their cats run away. People usually think cats are smart and do well on the streets, but that's wrong. Some cats can even get lost and never find their home again! They get into fights with other animals, they can get kicked by people, females can get pregnant... It's just not safe!
Also, this game always looked like hot steaming garbage. Didn't even care to watch too many videos of it.

Yeah, I was hoping for that to happen more often in the game. That part was very cool and set me up for disappointment when it didn't happen again.

Oh I just realised the tell for a breakable wall, there's always a wood framed painting on them

Jesse didn't lose them. That whole final sequence was the Hiss leaking inside her mind and trying to do to her what it did to Trench and everyone else.

WHY IS DR DARLING SO FUCKING RIPPED HOLY SHIT

I was just about to ask about what the fuck this was, and then I read it and smashed

Attached: circle.png (1920x1080, 1.96M)

Former is basically the only asshole member of the Board. They "fired" it specifically BECAUSE it was such an asshole. It then decided it was going to go out and fuck everything up just to spite them.

Presumably, had the Hiss actually won, Ahti would've been consumed as well.

Alright same guy, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE LAST MOLD IN MEDICAL? Literally been in every room, roof and floor and hiding spots and I can't find it. I wish this game had a flashlight or something

did you get the one behind the blocked-off doorway at the end of that one side room?

Anyone else getting crashing on DX12 for no apparent reason with latest Nvidia drivers?

Running the legit version? With RTX?
