I picked it up for free on the network a ways back but started it today. The cutscenes are awful and the story and acting are barely present but the game is actually pretty good. It’s basically an open world TLOU.

Yeah, it’s not as fleshed out as TLOU or anything, but it is a lot of fun. It was meant to be co-op, but that part got scrapped for whatever reason. I think because of Sony.

I need to go back and finish it. I’m still playing Predator though.

I also like how you never feel like you got a stranglehold on the zombies and a group of them can fuck you up. You never feel safe and at night there's way more that spawn.

Yeah, that’s one of the stronger aspects of the game. I just wish it had the combat variety of The Last of Us 2. However, the traversal is bar none. There’s something awesome about riding a bike through an apocalypse. Don’t know what it is.

Anyway, the game could have used a better combat system. Say what you will about the nonsense they tried to force down our throats in TLOU2 (I hated the shit), but the game was pretty fun to play through. I still hated playing as that stupid bitch though.

Playing as Ellie, the freedom you had to take on every encounter was unprecedented. It was challenging trying to stealth kill groups of enemies. And as good as I am at stealth games, I would oftentimes get caught in a situation where I had to improvise and go on the offensive. I went from being a snake in the grass to John Rambo, while still struggling to stay alive as they rushed in—until I could dip out of view and try taking them out with the bow or something.

Yeah the collision detection of climbing and lack of thereof is one of the weaknesses of the game. You should be able to climb way more.

It could have used another year of polish for sure. And co-op. Why in the fuck was that cut? What a boneheaded decision.

Got it for free as well, I didn't even install it yet. I heard the story and characters are very stupid and the main character is functionally insane

Story is shit for sure, but I probably got 20 hours into it and I'm still enjoying it. Remove the thin plot, and there's definitely the grounds for a great game underneath. It's rough around the edges but I like the approach to it. If it got a sequel, which is unlikely, it would be great.

I thought the game was done around 30 hours ago. It's as long as MGSV. I'm still not done. There's repeat missions, but they're in different locations and the entire approach is different. Nothing feels like padding. I'm still having fun with it.

The game really opens up once you start unlocked the third tier weapons. I just got a AR with an integrated suppressor which makes going after camps and hordes so much easier.

Man, it is a massive ass game for sure, I'm pretty much in love! Deacon is pretty much the most realistic VG protagonist, and I am very happy that Witwer got to play an actual 3D character. I've been a fan since SWFU, he has an amazing range and great looks yet rarely gets good roles. Too bad the PS4 version was such a disaster at release...

Still had to install some quality-of-life-improvements mods like bigger fuel tank, better melee durability and a tad more damage from the knife. These mechanics felt very grindy and I hate grinding in singleplayer games.

It's only stupid if you expect another "epic adventure with important themes". For me it was a breath of fresh air. No big plot, no over-the-top characters with obvious motives, and the guy you play as constantly talks to himself, like an actual person who's running around killing marauders and psychopaths while collecting zombie ears would.

It's criminal it was bashed like it was. Funny how it has Death Stranding easter eggs and that's an incredibly inferior game.
