Hopefully we will see this for pc next year.
It’s not realy a system seller for Sony so it’s free money for them. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the ps6 will get it earlier as an enhanced version launch title.

I dont feel like watching a bazillion 30min long video reviews. What's the verdict? Another nonsensical LSD trip story and a walking with parkinsons simulator?

Sorry for the bazillion 30min long videos and yes probably another nonsensical LSD trip and a walking with Parkinson’s simulator but I’m here for it Very Happy

Gamespot's 'The Bad' - 'Questionable tropes around women.' Laughing

Also 'Focus on weapons and spectacle detracts from uniqueness' sounds like there's more pew pew to appease people who said the first one was lacking in action.


"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

I wonder if this one will need another two hours cutscene at the end to explain what the rest of the game couldn't do. Laughing

I played almost 3 hours and the game is just a technical marvel.

The visuals are stunning and personally I think more games should use the Decima engine! The intro was great and was I gobsmacked for the first 30 minutes, the aerial cam view is a really cool new feature that I don’t recall in the first game.
I don’t have a PS5 Pro but the quality mode looks impressive so I’m super jealous of quality mode at 60fps lol. I need the framerate so I’m playing performance mode and it still looks damn good to be honest.

I’m sure the story will have some wild twists but so far it’s very similar with the deliveries not that I’m surprised and not that I mind the gameplay mechanics.
Sandstorms, earthquakes and advanced weather effects are a big addition to the sequel and seeing Sam covered in sand after a trek through a sandstorm was a site to behold, especially when checking him out close with the photo mode, so good.

Anyways I need to sleep but I’ll be playing this again tomorrow after work for sure! Very Happy

Looks really great, gonna buy for sure. Too bad i won't have the funds to purchase it now or next month.

I thought the first one was kind of cool, played it for like 3h, but i was also thinking if it gets a follow-up it will very likely have better gameplay and perhaps something i'd be more willing to sink time into.

If you're so short on cash, isn't it smarter to just finish the first game? It is a continuous story afterall

You're free to create a thread in the console section so that you can engage with Headshot, Headshot and also Headshot Pffchh

(All kidding aside) Unless something inexplicably odd happens, it's safe to expect the game to come to PC as well after Kojimbo's usual ex-elusivity runs out. Patient Bear all the way Razz

It'll feel more fresh to play the second without having just played the first i bet. I have so many other hobbies that i rather invest in than playing something just "decent".

Very likely. It's around a 1/20 chance i finish anything. I really don't care about the newest for anything though, usually i play games 3-5 years after their release. This just seems far better than the first, which has peaked my interest...

the good thing with PS5 games is i can sell them (i sell like 90% of the PS5 games that i buy). I only buy digital if its something i really want to keep and i'm 100% sure about that i want to keep

Haha I kinda gave up on creating threads in the Console section since you’re all PC gamers and this thread already existed. I’m sure Sony will release a port by the end of the year or in the first half of next year.

I kept trying to refuse in my playthrough, this was pretty great Laughing



Damn I thought Norman Reedus was quite accurate in the first game but compared to this image he really isn’t. The upgraded character model in the sequel looks hella upgraded not surprising really though since there’s a whole technology generation between them Very Happy
