Story in games is highly overrated and often misunderstood

Gameplay above story. A half arse story can be carried by great gameplay but not the other way around.

That plus people mistake story for other things. Last of us was an ok story but had great characters with gameplay that complemented it

This is a little disappointing.

quote:

So, imagine my surprise when I did manage to finish the entire game, playing at a leisurely pace, in less than a day and a half. Maybe about 10-12 hours total, even with all the exploring and sidequests. I just can’t escape the feeling that there is simply less of Mankind Divided than there was of Human Revolution. Not that what is there isn’t interesting or fun to play, but it was unexpected all the same. I can’t tell Mankind Divided is smaller than its predecessor in terms of sheer land mass, but length? Without a doubt.

That is an anomaly. Nobody takes Paul Tassi seriously

Kotaku's review just said you're character becomes OP within the story's first act. That kind of sucks.

Lol there are also a bunch of 'All Human Lives Matter' and 'Augmented lives Matter' in the game.

NICE, I was worried for a minute. I am counting on this game lasting a little while for me. About 6 hours in Gardoki time.

If I can get 25-30 solid hours I'll be satisfied.

id like to get a stealth assassin type playthru and then maybe a Rambo/sbr2 type playthrough on a harder difficulty.

was a bit worried about that forbes article but then I remembered who the author was thanks to carson.

also that reddit post I linked renewed my faith. not sure how the discrepancy is so big (12 vs 40). someone is lying or they have very different ideas of what a complete playthrough is

Just picked it up off cdkeys and got the code instantly, pretty pumped. Can't wait to crawl in some vents.

Nixxes handled the HR port and it was great by all accounts

Jim Sterling gave it a 9/10, which is pretty crazy. Same complaint: story comes to a halt when you don't expect it to. I expect it to be finished in the season pass content

Have I mentioned that Tuesday midnight releases are dumb as shite!!!!!

I know that they do it because they want staff on regular pay to fix the shite they didn't do before launch, but dammit release a finished product on a Friday!

Tuesday is more of a retailer holdover than anything. Sony releases some of their big games on Fridays

I disagree. Plenty of otherwise average games are carried by great stories.
