This was a good game. Is there any chance that word of mouth will overcome the terrible ad campaign?

I like it. I like the more and those videos the doctor does that's filmed irl.

reminder that the false ending where she made it all up was canon until it was rewritten to be a mary sue woman fantasy to appeal to discord trannies and jannies

i like the puppet ones

They could have chose a better release date.
Releasing around the same time as Astral Chain and Iceborne made me skip it for now.

Astral Chain and Control really wouldn't have the same demographic of players

I usually don't give a shit about the characters apperance, but god damn. Why did they make her so ugly? She looks good at a distance, but up close she looks like a tranny.

What's the game about?

MC spends 17 years of her life trying to track down her brother after government goons kidnap him, she finally gets to the Federal Bureau of Control and it turns out it's been taken over by this malevolent hive mind. I really liked it, tranny aside

thanks fully you'll only see her from the back most of the time
but yeah her face is weird

but everyone's face is pretty fucking weird in the game

i don't know how you put so much detail into the enviornments partial affects, and sound design but skimp out on faces

>thanks fully
thankfully

Certainly with time it will amass a decent fanbase. The game is pretty good.

This is the kind of comment a virgin retard will say when he cares only about a virtual face instead of the game being a good game. I frankly can't imagine a non virgin being so mad about a physically ugly videogame character.

The first video I liked because it was creepy, the other ones I just only found them annoying.

After the garbage that was Quantum Break, Control brought back most of what makes Remedy stand out in the AAA production line of samey games.

It's odd how much they fucked the protagonist's face when they usually nail their human models.

The second expansion linking Control with Alan Wake sounds fucking sweet too.

It's a shame that the CEO of Remedy had absolutely no faith in the game since he sold all his shares before the release date, shit's hilarious.

Agreed. Holy shit, I keep telling myself to never open the images of this game, but I keep failing. She looks cute from a distance, but as soon as you maximize...

Anyway, face remodel mod when? That's all I need to play this game

the ending is a typical ubisoft dlc ending where she stays the director of control and youre free to continue the story via downloadable content
everyone is too pussy to actually finish a plot from start to finish
there is no ending, the hiss is turned off by turning off the projector, its just a tech demo

>EGS
>mods
no goy! no mods! no user reviews!
egs only exists because of pussy devs that cant handle a review system, its that simple
exclusivity for no reviews on the store

>This is the kind of comment a virgin retard will say when he cares only about a virtual face instead of the game being a good game
Aesthetics are important and the game has a strong artistic appeal in the graphics. Therefore, complaints about the ugliness of the character you will see for hours is totally justifiable.

>pirate the game pretty much only because I wanted to use the flying mechanic
>takes almost the whole game to even get it
>it's just some limited hover trash
Why are game so afraid to just give you unconditional wings
The level design was totally fine for it

I played both

Any way to find Marshall post-game?
Everyone keeps hyping up that she vanishes sometimes to the Quarry but fuck if I know where.

You’re a complete retard if you think this. Do you work in marketing?

Probably because the game is meant to be viewed from a certain angle and if players can fly, devs won't be able to use tricks to pretend that the environment is bigger and prettier than it really is, as the player will be able to look at everything from various angles and distances.

The game was pretty good throughout except for the final ending sequence.
The gauntlet of enemies leading to a single prompt was pretty shit especially after stumbling on sidequests with huge outer world creatures. I guess it was too much to ask for more big fights like that.

Damn.
I would have loved it if it either ended there or a beat later where she's doing endless office work.

Whole premise of "scp objects and doing weird shit" allows for so much crazy stuff, but they went for "zombies with guns", with mods as gear and crafting and radiant quests.
Audio diaries are awful, why can't you turn them on and go around doing stuff like in any other normal game, some texts are cool but you get so many shitty ones that i just hate those "lets put lore as bunch of text in our game", how often do you alt-tab to read TES lore while playing skyrim.
Videos with scientist and other are cool, and overall there's a lot of cool stuff (like when you find alan wake page and alan wake starts talking stuff was very cool thanks kanye) but overall it just boring zombie with gun.
Also map sucks so many balls holy fuck, if it was a 3d map it would be great.

Should have battled a corrupt Board.
Hopefully the Alan Wake Event DLC adds a bunch more content. The Foundation DLC might have to do more with the board.

I wish that the default outfit for the game and for the promotion materials was the director outfit. Not only it looks good but it also reduce the unoriginality feel of the game. Plus, I have a fetish for office ladies and the outfit is hot as fuck.
My biggest problem about it is that you can only ascend during the first jump and not during mid air. If you fall down then that's it, you'll die and backtrack from the control point again.
That's not a problem. The majority of the game sets indoors.

I'm itching for more Board shit. Especially after Former.
Or the audio log where they call in trying to smokescreen away Former.

>scanface
dropped

Game is kino and i will only get better with expansions, besides is going to steam eventualy so drones will start to praise it eventually because is a good game, classic with hero journey, maybe a little too short. With that said, if remedy sell 2 millions of these, they should be proud, Epic exclusivity, and lack of marketing didnt do any good to the release.

No idea what sales figures are right now, but I'm guessing they'll get a nice boost from this:

Nigger, she is an orphan that's been on meds half her life, do you expect her to look like snow white you fucking retard?at worst she is a 6/10 which is to say average

Due to the fact that I dont think you can answer this rhetorical question, I'll ask anyway. What actions could Epic take that would get you to stop acting like a screeching puritanical retard?

And since I really don't see anything being gained engaging you directly I'll answer the question exactly the way you will. There is nothing they can do because this is all about bandwagon moralizing and gatekeeping instead of video games.

Please die in a fire.

inb4 hurr durr plebbit spacing marketeer. You twats have gone out of your way to throw tantrums to such a degree that no one in their right mind would do the fruitless tasks of trying to appreciate your perspective and cater to you.

Reminds me of the dev that actually tried to cater to Yea Forums and took all of their feedback to heart just to end up finding they still hated the game despite being everything they asked of him, Yea Forums will never know joy

yes Yea Forums is one person. also you are not Yea Forums

I'm sorry I meant a completely original Not Gravity Gun weapon that Remedy invented for the first time in gaming history

Did Trench kill himself because he realized he had lost control, like the previous director agreed to be imprisoned because he realized he had been consumed by power?

they should've used christina hendricks

the only people talking about the "terrible ad campaign" are you morons

Word of mouth doesn't work if you are an epic game store exclusive. I already pirated it and told people it's good, but how the fuck can you recommend spyware to people?

NO FUCKING ONE want to play as a average looking realistic fermale, not even women

>he sold all his shares before the release date
He sold like 3% of his shares retard.

There's mountains of evidence proving you wrong about that, but keep telling yourself whatever you gotta believe.

Huh? Did you play the game? She holds objects to the right of her. If you peak out of cover and face the enemy, you can hit the wall with your gravity gun despite the fact that you're facing the enemy. Sorry but that's shit. This is one your main mechanics and it's this shitty?

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 174K)

So you're suggesting the object float in the center of the screen obscuring your view then?

yeah just make it wobble more so it reveals the view
fair trade off

Is there a Mirror Jesse costume and how do I get it?

I don't know, you figure it out. Maybe it floats to the right but just as you shoot it flies towards the center of the screen and towards the enemy. I don't really care how you make it work, HL2 did it, so can you.

dude, no one like to avatarize average looking cg girls
also fermale want either be girls with alot of character or alot of beauty, "cute" also works, or best a complete editor to make (a prettier) version of themself

Not him, but I don't even like Steam. There's nothing that will make me install this shit.

you guys claim to understand the video game audience and still say shit like this huh

>She holds objects to the right of her
And? If you want on the left side just switch the camera
>If you peak out of cover
Cover? Are you a casual?
>you can hit the wall with your gravity gun
That's because you're shit. There's no problem at all since it autoaim for you and there's a clear line between the object you want to throw and the target. You can't miss your target unless there's a wall between the object and the target. As a matter fact, your argument for "can't shoot when in cover" is bizarre because this mechanic lets you do that. Take cover by positioning yourself in the left wall, the object floating on the right and has a clear line of sight to the target, and shoot the object, and vice versa. You can even shoot the object and still hits target despite having no clear view to the enemy, thanks to the autoaim system

Hell no, she have the facial structure of a tranny. I could fix that shit in 30 seconds only by doing the stuff in this pic, the flaws on her face are easy to point out.

>What actions could Epic take that would get you to do literally anything
Release games on other platforms at the same time and rely on the superiority of their own service to persuade customers into investing on their platform instead.

>facial structure of a tranny
but it's not a tranny it's a girl

someone actually drew this thinking it would prove some absurd point

gameplay is so fucking boring and generic it hurts
dudes with guns in a spc-esque game, lol what the fuck

get past the first hour

I used a trainer on that shit this morning to see if anything would happen. Can't use a trainer on game pass shit tho as those folders are annoyingly protected.

>pussy devs that cant handle a review system
yeah not wanting to get review bombed for something completely unrelated to the game itself really makes them pussies huh

>Somebody drew this
>Both drawings are ugly
>Neither of them resembles the character it is supposed to be

This faggot only played for twenty minutes top before talking shit about the gameplay in an immersive sim-esque type of game. What a moron.

It's not good enough to have a cult following.

That didn't stopped Alan wake

Because Alan Wake was good

I don't care that she's ugly, there are plenty of games with ugly characters and i believe that only virgin faggots get triggered by it. But I will say that I think that the fuckup is not intentional, the model/voice actress is really good looking youtu.be/BIDr-rzzOdU , and the way jesse faden is modelled just seems like a designer's fuck up.

I'll believe that Half-Life 3 is released and lives up to the expectations before I'll start believing that a Remedy game of all things is anywhere near an immersive sim.

>Alan Wake's combat main flaw is that the concept doesn't expand beyond the "point lantern, shoot dude" because the enemy design is literally the same throughout the entire game

>American Nightmare feels like it was made to react to this complaint. Best enemy design and combat of any Remedy game

>Control has pretty much the exact same fucking problem as the original Alan Wake but instead of Taken, they're called Hiss

Jesus Christ, Remedy. The combat is actually pretty cool this time around but fucking utilize your setting beyond the its world building and plot. Fucking throw us weird monsters to fight.

Lmao

>immersive sim-esque type of game
calling a generic TPS with unlocks and backtracking an immersive sim. so called fans of this game truly amaze me

Look up the meaning of Sim game before presenting yourself like a fool

I don't know if it's what you're referring to, but in the room where you fight esseJ in the real world one of the mannequin will be wearing her costume once you defeat her, and the glass will be broken so you can just take it.

Yeah it is not a full immersive sim, but it has a lot of the elements of one.

I didn't call it an immersive sim, moron. I called Immersive sim-esque, as in the fact that it has backtracking, lots of documents to read, videos to watch, and tapes to listen to that fill the world and lore, a semi leveling up system, optional areas to explore, an open world in a contained place, and it kind of gives you the option to aproach each situation (not as much as a full immersive sim, but it gives you a lot of options as to not only use "shooting").
Calling it a generic TPS, with all those things that it has, is what strikes me as stupid.

Is it just me or is that a really sexy hand

so what exactly makes Control an immersive sim?

acquire even the slightest understanding regarding what constitutes an immersive sim before typing any additional replies. There has only ever been a handful of games that qualify

>there's loredump collectibles so it's an immersive sim
seriously user what the fuck, stop this LARP

Again, i didn't say it was an immersive sim, moron. But you did really call it a a generic TPS, which objectively is not, which makes you an idiot.

Yeah that guy is wrong. Immersive sim are defined by the variety of way you can tackle the problems, Dishonored being one of the most well-known example where you can sneak/kill everyone, use magic/tools/both, and kill/dispose of your targets. Despite the fact that Controk looks somewhat similar from afar, particularly compared to Prey, which had a similar concept (overrun self-sustaining building with paranormal events), it's very different because there's simply no point in the game where you need to choose how to tackle a situation.

it is a very generic TPS with not really generic setting, but the genre is defined by gameplay and it's really uninspired and boring, i'd say GENERIC. you run and gun people, sometimes use your "magic"
if you find Cuntroll's gameplay fresh, original or extraordinary, perhaps your shooter genre experience is very lacking

I'm a huge House of Leaves fan so as soon as I found out it heavily influenced the game I had to try it.
I was waiting for the obligatory overt reference, but when it finally happened I was completely surprised.
Was not expecting it to be an action set piece. TAKE CONTROL

It was probably the only moment of clarity he had, it's implied that the directors gun was like a thought recorder, hence why he talks to you at certain moments, another thing, I hate how they wasted mccafferty on just a guy who talks about places, they let the voice actor from alan wake run wild, they should've had him go nuts too

Nothing that only has the secondary elements of an immersive sim can be considered immersive sim -esque. That would allow any game with diceroll combat and permadeath to be called a roguelike. The game needs to have the primary elements, which is complete system-oriented design. Every asset and mechanic is built around universal world rules and the player is encouraged to exploit those rules, not necessarily just the mechanics. For example damage is not just something the decreases the health of the player and enemies, but can also break down objects including doors. Or that AI is not just programmed to attack the player, but programmed to see and hear, and to have preferences, so the AI reacts to stimulus generated by other entities and the reaction is determined by their preference. Fire burns flammable materials. Ice reduces friction. Light sources can be removed to make things more difficult for enemies to see, or added to make them see what they didn't before. Things can be picked up and stacked. Force of explosions can be used to move heavy obstacles. An immersive sim cannot simply be a game that has a few mechanics that provide a limited array of approaches that can be tested and listed.
When a developer excitedly explains in an interview how they saw online that someone played their game and used a perfectly logical solution none of them ever even considered, that's when you're on the right track. "There was a heavy crate blocking the way on the upper platform, so I placed a plank as a ramp and rolled one of the heavy gas bottles from three corridors away up the ramp and next to the crate. I ignited the bottle's nozzle and the massive thrust of the fire jet moved the crate just enough for me to squeeze past."

Yahtzee didn't like it, so I don't like it either.

This.
All epic exclusives belong in the trash.
>What actions could Epic take that would get you to stop acting like a screeching puritanical retard?
They can go out of business, gather all their CEOs and senior staff, dose them in gasoline and set them on fire. If Microsoft, Sony, Valve, EA, Bethesda, Blizzard, Capcom, Square Enix and Ubisoft do the same gaming would improve so much.

Its not a control thread until someone post the pic of her with Landa

>If Microsoft, Sony, Valve, EA, Bethesda, Blizzard, Capcom, Square Enix and Ubisoft do the same gaming would improve so much
wtf bro what would i play then

Most of the shit you list was routinely implemented in roguelikes like several decades ago.

ugly post-wall used up slut

why does this game attract so much bad faith criticism

Using Steam to build interest and then ditching the platform was an instant nail in the coffin. Fuck this game.

If you're going to drop millions to develop a game, at least get a hot bitch, it will sell more copies, but who gives a fuck, it's only investors money, right, you blue haired fucking money vampire commies?

clearly it is impossible to hate someone to death over the internet, otherwise your body parts would now be distributed over a 100 mile radius of ground zero

>dose them in gasoline
I think its "douse".

>End battle
>Get killed 3 times or so because the game just drops enemies on top of you
>realize the enemy spawn is actually set to one point and ground enemies have no way to overcome hight differences without stairs.

It's 2019 and this feels like beating a lazily designed SNES game.

If they add an option to turn off the Jay Leno chin on the MC maybe.

Well I didn't imply that immersive sims and roguelikes share nothing in common now did I? But as much as roguelikes lack 3d mouse control and a first person mode, immersive sims don't have turn-based gameplay in procedural grid ASCII dungeons. Being able to bash down a door in Dark Messiah doesn't mean it's a roguelike and fire magic turning a bat into cooked meat in ADoM doesn't make it an immersive sim.
