[Fani Willis fan]

This game is 80 hours long?

Was about to give it a shot until I Heard that - There's no way delivering packages can stay interesting for that long. Should've been a tight, finely curated linear experience. The fukk I wanna wander around giant empty wastelands with minimal combat for?

Is the exploration amazing? Is there shyt to discover? Cities to run into?
does this game have constant, real combat? how are people feeling so good about moment to moment gameplay that revolves around WALKING?

People will play MSFS for hours, this has 10x more things you gotta manage while traveling terrains

Spoiler: spoilers chapter 3

absolutely beautiful storytelling from Koji

Man, the gameplay and graphics are so damn beautiful and perfect. Now, imagine Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake looks like this DS2, gameplay and graphics are what I imagine MGS3 Remake would look like but disappointed when trailer gameplay dropped.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

This game kind of proves why so many people are frustrated with sony.

you just can’t get this type of quality outside their first and 2nd party collaborations.

Thank you for giving it a whirl for us

Def going to be weird since kojima beat konami to the punch lol

Hilarious hearing cacs like, “i can’t play as a bald headed woman “

and here i am playing as old hobo that looks like he’s been sleeping on a freight train for 12 years.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

But yeah, so far this is the best Kojima game since MGS3

Just finished espiode 1

This game keeps me awake for hours until 3 am and I just realized it was time for me to take my black ass to bed.

Now I'm on epsiode 3. So what happened to epsiode 2?

Edited: Never mind about espiode 2, that was very short.

Opening sequence...

Spoiler

If soothing Lou wasn't the first thing that you did after gaining control of Sam, you're an animal.

 

[HiiiPower]

This Has dethroned TLOU2 as the best
Looking game graphically

 

[Killer Instinct]

Just had my first boss fight. Technically, this game is a masterpiece. The amount of action that was going on was crazy, and I didn't see a single frame dip on Performance.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is the best game in terms of graphics that I have ever played after completing the game with quality settings. Does this game beat that game's graphics? I haven't been able to game in quiet some time so I'm not up to date. Still haven't completed Death Stranding so I can't play this game yet. Apparently the graphics on this game are better on performance pro on the ps5 pro than the quality settings on the ps5. Any significant difference between performance and quality settings on the ps5 pro in terms of graphics?
