I'd recommend this video to people about to start the game. I think the point about feathering the triggers to pre-empt directional imbalance loss is going to be a big one.

Some people will likely only press the triggers after they've already starting losing balance in a direction, but as Tim Mentions, don't treat the triggers like a QTE, instead learn to constantly use them in a rhythm even ahead of time to maintain a more constant harmony in balance.




I think calling it "The Grand Turismo of walking simulators" is amusingly pretty apt. In other words, it's a walking simulator where the act of walking itself has deep simulation mechanics, whereas traditionally simply walking in other games is fully automated or straight forward, closer to an arcade racer or something, instead of versus a simulator like Gran Turismo, rFactor etc.

Just played for 2 hours, the game feels like a goot mystery show at the moment, I love it.
Played two hours, atmosphere is truly special.
First hour down and it was a real treat. Creepy, wonderful sci-fI X-files weirdness. Loving it.
First 2 hours was already worth the full price.
The graphics and cinematography are OUTSTANDING. Sounddesign surpassed my expecations.

The really funny thing is, DS got labled WS but KJP delivered the most realistic and intersteting walking i have ever expierenced in a videogame! Its like walking for the first time... no Video can do it justice.

I just scratched the surface, but so far i really like it!
This is the stuff I wanted to hear.

You guys are lucky. I'm gonna sleep off the wait.

WE MADE IT

Sam and the cargo is a mess... but we made it.... Got 907 likes from that delivery. Well worth it.

Time to kick it in the Private Room and head on out for the next delivery. Gotta make it to Port Knot soon 🤘

There's something so satisfying about fulfilling an order that took you ages to complete. Braving all these hardships and tripping over numerous hazards damaging your stuff only to be awarded with a fuckton of likes and some new gear is extremely addictive.

Holy shit this game is so moody I'm really impressed by it 2 hours in and I'm hooked, game looks so polished and controls are really interesting too.

Really positive impressions so far

Are we going to find out that Fallen Order is the 2nd game in the strand genre, where you have to connect the remaining jedi together?
That sounds more interesting then the actual game itself.
Got my copy! It's installing now. Hurry uuuuup
It's done installing! I'll see everyone in the Seam

Wonder how long the honeymoon hypebotting will last this time until people start coming in here and saying it's the worst game ever.

That degree in logistics finally going to payoff

Fucking hell, these are some long ass cutscenes. This has been going for over 20 minutes and it looks like it's not stopping any time soon.

i love tim rogers

lol. it's kind of funny because over a week from beating it now and it's only grown and grown on me the more i've sat on it, especially the ending.

I really hope this game is a knockout for me, evrything else this year has been varying levels of disappointment outside of Luigi's Mansion and even the RDR 2 port is a bit of a shit show.

Does anybody know how to level up distribution buildings ? I want to customise my room, damn it. LOL
yeah this was super weird to me because Kojima showed it off in that one video but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to actually do it

Yeah I'm most curious to see what people who still wanna talk about it in three months have to say, when the dust settled.

Take some gear with you though. I don't want you fucking up you delivery because of me.

Can you explain what changes between the difficulty levels. From what I am hearing normal is too easy...but not heard what the differences are?

Played for about an hour and a half. Absolutely insane landscapes. Controls great and I really like traversing. Can't wait to drive back in tomorrow morning.

i'm not actually convinced that the room customization is in the final game

i'm a bit too early to say! it doesn't seem like much has changed, though. it's definitely not a game where the difficulty comes from stuff like combat encounters

Should really be straight away no? Historically if people are not enjoying their time with a game, you'll read about it right away with negative or lukewarm impressions and posts.

If you're specifically referring to the "I need as many people to read my impressions as possible because they're highly negative, thus imo more important than every other opinion in the OT" type threads that are often still too early to be LTTP's, then I'd say at least a few days or weeks.

Personally I've rarely ever actually changed my opinion about any game I've played unless it really turned shit towards the end, so I've not really had a honeymoon period per se. The way a game made me feel when I first played it is nearly always what ends up sticking.

Wait, is it true EDGE magazine decided not to review the game because the assigned reviewer thought it was so bad he stopped? WTF?

I don't know which OTs you read but a lot of big release gets massive over the top praise in the first few days or even week when people first get the game and only play a few hours. RDR 2 is the only one where the "backlash" was basically instant because the controls being what they were were obvious from day one.

That said for this game I'm expecting a more balanced first impression with people being really positive or really negative, basically the exact same thing people have been arguing about a month prior to release.

Played two hours, fucking hell. Brilliant stuff so far. Game is dripping in atmosphere. Loving the story setup so far.

Just exploring the private room then will be heading off again!

I underestimated how absolutely massive the CE box is, it's huge. Also a neat detail is that it looks roughed up like it's been hit with Timefall

wtf is in the cargo??? I've literally googled it. All anything says is "cargo" "who is belongs to" ...How about what it is, and what it has to do with "connecting the world" etc?????
