The pepe twitter probably just saw the scores, and the posters on the twitter as well, so they give IGN flak for this, which is just stupid.
The other thing I've come to understand is that the game is ~70 hours long and doesn't get "fun" until about halfway through (Kojima's own words!)
Or, how interesting does the gameplay look, now that you have a better idea of what it will play like.
And yet the item system isn't the only major gameplay element. There are stealth sections where you avoid BTs, and combat is an optional mechanic (supposedly similar to some of MGSV's mechanics) that supposedly becomes more viable the farther into the game you get.
"And comparing it to WRPGs" is the focus of my argument here. The issue isn't even that the game is "an encumbrance simulator", it's the reductive arguments people have been appending to that statement.
I kind of got the gist as soon as Tim Rogers' said in his video review that it was the "Gran Turismo of walking simulators."
I'm definitely not saying that's a bad thing.
So fucking tired of yearly reskinned games. Thats why im one of the Yakuza fans that is very hyped for the next Yakuza that is completelly changing the combat system to a diferent genre. Even if i understand why some fans are against the change i always applaud someone trying to shake things up.
Honestly I'm not even remotely a Kojimaphile but this game looks fascinating to me. Dunno why that bothers so many people tho?
Dont believe everething u read in this thread. I never saw so much false information being spread in a hardcore gamming forum. A reviewer here already told that was false, the longest cutscene he found was 45 minutes long. Still huge, but not 2h long. WTF?
Reviews came and it is most definitely a love-it-or-hate-it game. You have people singing praises and people calling it a waste. Of course a war was going to happen.
A) Rogers said in his review MGS4 was the most Kojima game ever until DS
Really I'm certain someone said over two hours on the ending? I'll see if I can find it.
I have not heard any direct comparisons on the map size. If I come across any will repost. Looks substantial tho.
Lol, yeah bring the PAIN!
Yes someone said that, and a reviewer that finished the game told here that was false.
The man can sell me a game, that's for sure.
All the opinions I've seen of it seem generally positive. The cooperative nature of it makes the world a little less lonely without actually doing that much to blunt the challenge of the massive and very hostile world. Other people's helpfully placed ladders and bridges and ropes and what not are like oases. Or occasionally mirages, when they turn out not to be helpful at all.
It says November 5th if you go into your library and click on the timer.
