Control has some great destruction going on, but it's really boring and repetitive. Deleted it halfway through. Not really hyped if they're the ones getting acquired. Better than nothing I guess.
I mean, the game is way more than just the combat. But I suppose if the atmosphere and tone don't click for you there isn't all that much to click onto.
I loved it. Dashing and flying around while Force Throwing shit at enemies was a joy, even if the gun variety was a little wimpy.
I'd have rated control higher if it launched at $40 and didn't launch in a damn near unplayable state on consoles and there were more powers.
As it is, it felt like a half baked infamous game with a unique atmosphere and one of the most boring protags I've played as.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills all of a sudden. I'm actually positive on a game and people are dumping on it. Did I wake up in Bizarro World this morning? :(
Lol You are trying way too hard. The game has received over 10 GotY awards already. You might not have liked it, but it's nowhere as bad as you are making it sound like.
It is one of my favourites this gen, I think people are trying to play it as Uncharted rather than like Devil May Cry.
Nah Jesse's cool man
I haven't used Dreams deep enough yet to really engage with that sorta stuff but it seems like a cool idea. I'm sure folk in the OT would take part.
Well thank God. Because I was going to eat so much crow on twitter after i made fun of all those insiders lol
They are not a potential acquisition target because they are too expensive.
The studio is valued at $175M today not including the required premium to the public price.
If Remedy was independent they would be a target, but as long as they are publicly traded and at that valuation (40x cash flow and 5x revenue) no one will be able to justify purchasing them.
Fun for a few hours, but there's almost no enemy variety, the setting is all the same, the bosses are plain silly and sometimes come with unfair difficulty spikes, like floors falling away underneath you while you're not able to see this. And the worst thing is the story in my opinion. My god, I wish developers stopped with this "who can make the most vague and weird story ever" contest. Let FROM Software and Kojima handle that shit. More than enough. It really doesn't help me to get into the game.
I love Max Payne (especially 2) and Alan Wake, but responded very badly to Control, much to my dismay.
- Bland main character
- Incoherent map + samey environments = mass confusion
- Terrible checkpoint system
- Maybe the worst performing game I've played this gen
- Irritating difficulty spikes (exacerbated by the checkpoint system and poor performance)
Remedy's in my bad books right now. Sony should just acquire Sega instead.

From vague storytelling is overrated...
controversial opinion maybe, but I love the combat, atmosphere sense of progression and accomplishment with that old school difficulty. Piecing together what little sense the story makes is not my cup, I dont have time to discuss everything on forums/social media like I'm in high school on summer break lol. If you have an interesting story, tell it. Minimalism done right is Ico/SotC. BB is too vague man.

At this point this is probably the only way we'll get a VF6.
Remedy is a publicly traded. If Sony actually made moves to acquire them, we'll know it right away through actual gaming news outlets right?
I thought the story was fantastic. Significantly better than most of Kojima's recent output, at least in my opinion. It kind of ends very suddenly but I loved the themes, atmosphere and tone.
Maybe Sony shouldn't go after companies so much as IP. I would just ask Capcom for some dormant stuff to use if I had a group of Devs with a good idea for one. Sony ask SEGA to use Virtua Fighter IP etc...WWS is actually really big already, you don't want to get bloated unless you are Apple/MS/Google. Stay nimble.
I'm just joking about the Sega thing. It wouldn't happen, and it shouldn't happen anyway.
What should happen is Sega getting back in the console race. Dreamcast 2 baby, let's go.
Anyone having issues getting the Wrap Up website to work? No one at work can get it to load. We keep getting "Service Unavailable".
I agree but why is Remedy fanning the flames by liking his posts, they should know better than that. Unless they are shitposting in this never ending shitpost world.
...
They are a publicly traded company there's no secrets here, if they were being purchased we'd know
it's tidux can we stop posting his shit
Because it can drive up their share price. They are already valued at $175M which is absurd considering their annual revenue is ~$20M and their free cash flow is ~$3M.
I never called it a bad game. It's a 6/10 for me.
Why should I care about how many gotys it received? The Witcher 3 won a ton and I thought it was trash.
same. Game probably needed another 6-12 months in the oven.
Worked fine (France and I clicked on the link at the bottom of the PS Blog EU page)
I wouldn't be surprised if the first one gets ported over now that the rights reverted back to Remedy.
Low key hope it happens now. Just so this post can be proven wrong 😂
If we're just talking about dormant IPs, they should just ring at Konami's door then.
Acquire all the IP rights except for Pachinko slot machines and bang, you got a deal!
;)
