I'm enjoying Apex at the min so might wait for it to go down in price.
Knowing me I'll buy it in 2 weeks though.

I used to, but but he did like Immortals: Fenyx Rising which was a terrible game so I don't value him like I used to.To be honest I treat ACG’s reviews as gospel and he was lukewarm on this so I think I’ll be skipping it.
So did skill up whom I really like too. In fact they had it as on the games the year. Maybe it just wasn’t to your liking? I haven’t played it yet but it’s on my list (which is about 1000 games long ) I certainly don’t pay attention to IGN and the like.I used to, but but he did like Immortals: Fenyx Rising which was a terrible game so I don't value him like I used to.
Tried watching reviews and gameplay reviews but every reviewer is an annoying prick who does some stupid squeeky voice or screams for no reason, whole barely actually giving any feedback about the game "like this is so cool, you can do stuff, I don't even understand, oh thanks for the sub dickhead12, so I was playing this game the other day and yeah, it's good. Wow, this gun is such shooty. I was out for a walk last week and seen a dog which looks like this dog in the game haha eeeekek"Watched a few reviews... Looks good. I'll be getting it.

Yeah I've played a few hours and I'm really enjoying it. You can choose to go all guns blazing or more stealthy if that's what you're into.Anyone got this then?
Hmm you’re selling it to me! I like the idea of ruining my mates games tbf.Yeah I've played a few hours and I'm really enjoying it. You can choose to go all guns blazing or more stealthy if that's what you're into.
The banter between your character and Julianna is really good and there's a lot of humour throughout.
I haven't really played any of those games where you lose your gear when you have to replay a level etc so it's pretty fresh for me.
Another player can enter your game as Julianna and feck up your mission if you have that setting turned on. I decided to switch it off for a bit after I got killed just before completing my objective. The fecker. I'll prob switch it on later once I've gotten the hang of the game a bit more.
The 70s aesthetic is great and although it might not look groundbreaking it's still pretty slick.
The gunplay is satisfying although I'd have liked a bigger array of weapons. Maybe more types become available as you progress
All in all its pretty great. I figured it would be average given how heavily it was being advertised but its been a pleasant surprise.
I wouldn't expect someone picking up half way through with no intention of finishing it to love it the same way. A lot of the satisfaction will be in piecing together info from each play, experimenting and then actually tying up and completing.This game is so overhyped it’s ridiculous.
I’ve just had a long blast of it at my mates house and it’s nothing amazing, certainly not at the full price. So glad I didn’t buy into the hype I almost did, I’ve honestly no idea why it’s got 10/10 and whatnot.
Tempted to buy it for this sole purpose...Right ordered this from shopto. Let’s have it. Which one of you are going to invade my game and ensure I never complete it then?

I played it from the very start and played it for a solid 4 hours from the beginning so I had an ok grasp of it.I wouldn't expect someone picking up half way through with no intention of finishing it to love it the same way.

Needs to be fun along the way but I can see why it'd be lukewarm if you're just jumping in. The gunplay has never been amazing in Arkane games, though I'd hope the sandbox elements would be good fun.
When you getting your copy?Look at all you guys buzzing over an Xbox studios game
Fair enough mate. Not everything for everybody eh.I played it from the very start and played it for a solid 4 hours from the beginning so I had an ok grasp of it.
It’s very overhyped for me I can’t understand all these 10/10 and 100 scores if others enjoy it then fine but ill just buy it when it’s down to half price.
believe me I wish I did like it as I’ve spent months watching the videos, getting giddy over it as it looked very appealing. I maybe overhyped it myself. I’ll just wait formthe new battlefield now as my next new gameFair enough mate. Not everything for everybody eh.
It's the sort of game that would usually drop in price really quickly and struggle with sales.believe me I wish I did like it as I’ve spent months watching the videos, getting giddy over it as it looked very appealing.

By the time I’m bored of that hopefully death loop will be half price.
Calm down mate. Everyone's happy.When you getting your copy?
xbox finally release a game and it ends up being a Sony timed exclusive. Imagine paying 450 quid for that.

I'll play it when it comes to Game Pass. Not arsed about waiting.
I should state I haven't played this game and that it could be absolutely amazing but I think both fan and critic review scores are really getting weird these days and everything is either 'Best game ever' or 'absolutely brilliant' or terrible garbage etc. Not to mention tons of fan reviewer are bombing games over political issues, supposed censorship or even a Tibetan flag appearing in the new Life is Strange game. This game has a 2.5 user score on Metacritic and an 88 Metascore.Surprised by the reviews. I just don’t think it really looks my kind of thing though. Dishonoured was crap in my opinion so if the gameplay in this isn’t great doubt I’ll enjoy it. I do like the sound of the story though and the character humour but I just wish I could try before I buy on this one.
This is becoming very common for story campaigns 5-10 hoursApparently if you blitz through the story and ignore side stuff (which is very me) it can be finished in around 4/5 hours.
I've been reading this thread for some feedback, as I've just downloaded this through game pass. Saw your post saying you would wait for it to be on GP, so I'm bumping this thread to let you know in case you didn'tCalm down mate. Everyone's happy.

Did you not think that about Prey? I found it a great idea marred by some very inconsistent game design. It worked much better in Dishonored.I really liked Arkane’s other games but just can’t get into it.
A constant stream of mechanics that don’t really mesh - there’s some good ideas and it’s well made but it seems far too ambitious and unfocused to the point I don’t really see the vision they were going for.
I’ll stick with it but I’m very glad I didn’t pay for it on PS5 and waited for the GP release.
Just a bit of a mess.
Between Deathloop and Returnal for sureMaybe the most over hyped game ever? It’s so boring, a weird mish mash of ideas that doesn’t work that well at all.
No I didn’t - I don’t think it was perfect but I was always driving towards a goal and given the choice of how to get there. I loved the setting and atmosphere too. I think Prey is massively better than Deathloop…well so far. I’m only about 3/4 hours or so but the cracks are appearing and frankly, it’s all just a bit boring.Did you not think that about Prey?

You forgot God of War and Horizon!Between Deathloop and Returnal for sure
Edit - Maybe Miles Morales' Spider-man
Damn you're right. All good shouts tbhYou forgot God of War and Horizon!
