If narrative driven games aren’t your cup of tea there’s nothing wrong saying that, but writing off the extensive gameplay provided in naughty dog games is silly. I think your take would be better directed at something like Metal Gear Solid, that actually locks you in for hour long non-interactive cut scenes.
I recently played uncharted 4, can confirm there is a lot of interesting gameplay mixed with the mastercrafted, often interactive, cut scenes. It was an excellent experience by any measure and the game is nearing 10 years old.
I swear people are confusing naughty dog with another dev or something, their worst game is still more fun than 90% of other studio’s best.
I’d really like Valve to take an official policy on post-release changes that break games, but for what it’s worth they have not given me any hassle with refunds in these scenarios.
All the online/user created content was lost for all these games too, iirc. Sony took the servers down for maintenance and never brought them back. A decade of work, dusted.
You’re absolutely not alone. Someone just pointed at me from the depths of a pool. Actual creeps down my back, something I haven’t felt since silent hill 2
Edit- finished it in about 3 hours. Top notch sound design, high quality visuals, interesting and unsettling levels… it’s everything you expect. Chapter 1, 2, 5 get seriously high marks from me. Someone described it as a museum game though, and yeah - kind of is. Overall held my attention, I took lots of screenshots, and it made me feel something. Good game.
Sweet, just in time for the pro. Fingers crossed the next revision doesn’t play games at all, just $1000 to pipe Morbius trailers to my TV. It’s all I ever wanted.
Sounds like I should start holding my payments in escrow, just in case the publisher decides to shut down their game less than 2 weeks after taking my money. Got it!
Ehhh. the game is coming up on 8 years, it’s definitely time for engine upgrades. Also the majority of DLC is themed packs (ghostbusters, back to the future and the like) with scenery, a single ride, and a single coaster. I wouldn’t consider it half-finished.
