I tend to look quite hard at graphics... it's things like the limited draw distance, and the rather static environments that bother me. Uncharted 4 had better, more consistent environments.
The water reactions are what seal it for me though... seeing a giant stomp into puddles of water, only for the water to not really react at all, isn't really acceptable in games anymore. Not since Uncharted 1 did it well in 2007.
In 4K on the Pro, yes. Then again I had just played Hellblade before playing this, and the graphics in that were truly mindblowing. GoW would have been impressive earlier in the PS4 lifecycle, but games have come out that look better over the past few years.
I'll try it again... maybe they improved it. But I'd rather have a locked 45fps as opposed to an unlocked 60.
Absolutely, the game looks good, and a lot of attention to detail was put in the environments. But it's not the best looking game on PS4, and the Pro upgrade has been disappointing. Still one of the best games this generation though.
Not really, I found the PS4 upgrades to be disappointing. Resolution mode only looks slightly sharper, with no noticeable new details. Frame rate mode isn't stable enough to use.
It's a great game, but not a great demonstration of the Pro... I was more impressed by the upgrades in Shadow of the Colossus and Hellblade. And it's certainly not the best looking game on PS4, since Uncharted 4 and Hellblade look better in my opinion.
When did I say I didn't like it? I'm just saying it made sense from the outset to make the game the way it is, and not another locked camera game. It's fantastic, but the camera change was never risky... as it would have been slammed if it didn't make that change.
Not really, it would've been more risky to do another fixed camera game. You'd risk having critics panning it for not changing the formula, if they didn't change it up.
It's because there's countless 10/10 review for the game... it's practically expected to score at least a 9 from everyone. So when one that's lower than the norm shows up... of course it'll get attention. This will be from people both up in arms with hatred over the review, and yes some from those biased against it.
Uncharted 3 got a 4 from somewhere when that was out, did the same thing. That one was obvious clickbait, but it shows that this is a certai...
It will need to have an upgrade for the multiplayer, current CoD games wouldn't cut it with their multiplayer alone. I don't agree that multiplayer only games shouldn't be full price, but they still need to be packed with content.
Who the hell's giving Sea of Thieves a free pass?
I burst out with a 'HAAA!" Far Cry 2 had a lot of potential, and possibly had the best setting in the series.. but it wasn't fun to play. Far Cry 5 is the best shooter in years, even with a rather poorly told story.
I also get annoyed when people use a word or term incorrectly, and it is happening more these days. So you could argue that people are getting dumber.
However, to put this on a more dangerous scale than what global warming could potentially be, is nonsense. That's on the same level as the cult's logic in Far Cry 5.
Incorrect use of a word will lead to humanity destroying itself... sure.
Vexx please.
@Indysurfn - What are you talking about? The store absolutely does let you see what game pass includes before signing up... Just go in to Store > Browse Xbox Game Pass. Simple. It doesn't force you to do anything.
Anyone agreeing with your comment is a PS4 cultist, as anyone who actually has an Xbox One can easily have a look for themselves.
Yes it is, not even a contest. I'm still disappointed over the "multiplayer" patch... What a pile of rubbish that was. Though I suppose that would mean it suits the game as a whole.
Unless that's an Xbox jab, I have no idea where you made that up. It's one of the most fun I've played in a while... but I don't know, maybe I'm just tires of these linear, hold your hand single player games with well presented, forgettable stories (Such as most PS4 exclusives.)
I can see the comparison. But it's a much better game than No Man's Sky, even after all the patches.
I think it's a fun game. It's not meant to be an RPG with 40 hours of focused story, but it's great for a more casual game session either alone or with a team. I hope it gets plenty of updates, because the core game is just too good to give up on.
Looks like you weren't disappointed.
Yes, that's why they've given plenty of high scores to PlayStation games over the years.
This sounds like a bad, rushed review. It's not like IGN are even IGN anymore, they've lost most, if not all their core staff. But I don't think this review was biased, as bad as it is.
The formula is fine, it's just the engine that needs to improve.
