Only through the first hour but man this game has no idea what it is doing. I know from the trailers there should be combat, puzzles, and so on later but they're just showing how much talent it takes to do something like Silent Hill 2's intro – where there's nothing but following a path through the woods to town, some music, and sounds. IMHO, they could've cut the entire part in the house and funeral home at the beginning, just jump from the intro cinematic of her as a girl to her on the motorcycle.
Wow ii dont wana sound like a sheep and just make it seem like im mindlessly agreeing with Pat, but i really do feel the same way with him about this, like i was SO interested in this game, but like… its so…Drab and just..boring and the story and lore itself isint good enough to carry the "Gameplay" visuals are pretty much the only thing i dig about this so far.
I really want to like this, but man, every time a cutscene actually starts drawing me in to the story, it gets fucking ruined by her uneeded narration right after. Instead of keeping the quiet feeling where the player has to process the unsettling moments like silent hill achieves, it just takes away all of the mood immediately and makes the gameplay sections feel completely flat.
1:23:58 That's the point of Brutalism, it's not beautiful. Which makes it even more properly used in surrealist stories because of the contrast of the featureless architecture. Not defending Brutalism, I just think it works for post-apocalyptic/surrealist stories because of how drab, boring and oppressive it looks.
2:22:19 I can't unhear Troy Baker anymore. Anything he does his voice is too familiar.
man honestly its really surprising to learn that this is from the team that made layers of fear and observer. because this is more of the same of what they've done yet worse in almost every aspect, and also less interesting. it's just disappointing.
Finished the whole thing last night. The story takes some TURNS. It was fun to stream but yeah I'd wait for a sale or do it on gamepass if you're interested
anyone else notice the richest man on the planet being in this game? also the masks are on the ghosts because the painter Zdzisław Beksiński put masks on all of his figures.
Less trash, more psychological horror which destroys the mind of the player. This is like horror for 15-year-old girls who read goosebumps and enjoy movies but pretend they play video games.
I really feel like this game would've been much better with less talking and things like "Hey I should do this", "I should do that", "Maybe I can do that".
It's sad that Microsoft advertised this for the Series X when it looks like you should play this on the 360. They need to pump more money into their indie studios if they expect them to be making games speced for current gen consoles. Not to mention the fact that it's a walking simulator with a shade of silent hill paint on it. The least they could've done is have it play like a silent hill game, but they couldn't even accomplish that.
people think your weird cuz you won't TAKE A BATH $%%## for god sakes where you raised by the people who go to walmart after ten pm or something, jeeze

9:00 It took some digging. I think I found the study he is talking about or something similar

2:47:45 Pat: "It kind of does feel like Beyond 2 Soul's"
Literally a moment later Marianne: gasp! Sadness!?
Me: spits out all my water
This game reminds me of lego multiplayer screens

Can't believe Pat is spreading lies about child skulls smh those skulls were from children who had a birth condition
Warning small medium at large.

well it's a polish game so…
As an american politics observer i can confirm that this statement is correct : 1:01:59

I think the games athletics are based on Beksiński's paintings, who I'm sure also influenced Del Toro.
I'm genuinely curious how much better this game would be if they just removed all speaking lines except dialogue with other characters.

me: "Use some of that water to wash your face…
You 3 seconds later: "wash your face…"
Angry nut Zangif for bone.
Here's another for the bottomless pit in Silent Hill full of uninspired horror games.
anyone else notice the richest man on the planet being in this game?

Why does Jack look like Jeff Bezos?
3:30:33 DID NOBODY PLAY TEST THIS…and think that maybe the character talking…literally every 6 seconds, would ruin the atmosphere
Dude really out there with a pat stream during brain surgery… wonder how awkward that got.
This seems like a weird start to a narrative, is she skipping her father's funeral to hunt this ghost? Why would she do that?

53:10 I totally read that as WEEDZ GET OUT too!
56:56 dad looks like Jeff Bezos
Can you imagine how silly Silent Hill 2 would have felt if James was constantly narrating everything he sees?
Pat's thoughts on this game are very well constructed and on point.
Regarding Yakuzie 6 coming to PC…. IT IS, on March 25th.

ok Pat, you don't know shit, brutalism is awesome
My favorite part was when he cleaned Doggy snout

PUT MY HAND UP ON YO HIP
WHEN I DIP
YOU DIP
WE DIP
This game being advertised as "The first real next-gen game" is true, cause all it felt like was a GIANT tech demo
Fuck Brutalism. My city feels so drab and down because of it.
The protagonist running her mouth all the time is the same reason that I didn't like Dead Space 2 as much as the first one.
Thank you for playing this. Now I know my disappointment with this game was justified 🙁
marianne is the RC to Jessie from contol's coke
More like Mediocre 🙂
