Firewatch [OT] [PC/PS4] [Feb 9th, 2016]

Just beat it. It's the definition of a walking simulator. The story was mysterious and good, but the ending was a letdown. I give it a 7.5 outta 10. Don't buy it for $20. Wait for the inevitable sale when it's $10.

There seems to be no replayability though, because there really aren't any choices. It's more like a linear movie that you just watch.

There's less interaction than Telltale games and the landscape is barren as fukk.

This would be a great oculus rift game though. I hope they port that in somehow. I'd replay it again with my rift if they did, just to experience the atmosphere and great art direction in VR.

Just watched a walkthrough of the game, only lasted 2 hours but I think the guy just rushed through it, heres the ending for anyone who's interested...

Spoiler: major spoilers

Turns out their convos on the radio were being recorded. It seems at first like some government operation but turns out to be some guy called Ned who killed his son and became some sort of hermit afterwards. I thought Delilah would have something to do with it but turns out she didn't, also thought we might see her at the end but she got on the first round of rescue helicopters instead of waiting like she said she would. Still found that quite mysterious. But yeah ending was anti-climatic.

The ending was such a letdown.

Spoiler

i thought there would be a government conspiracy, but no. I thought the missing girls would end up dead, but no, they just went joyriding. I thought I'd get to see Delilah, but no. It was just an old ranger who got his son killed and was monitoring us. What a letdown.

Great art direction and mystery up until the end though. I really wanna replay this in VR. Here's hoping it gets patched in

Just stop at the part where I seen the fireworks getting kind of late but this is the first game I have played where I don't know what to expect so far

Man, you're really early on. It's good until the end

You get a new monitor breh?

 

[puggle]

the framerate is horrible on the ps4. Some parts of the fukking game wont even load

Fortunately, I haven't encountered that issue but yeah, the game runs extremely poor on PS4. The stuttering and skipping is pretty unforgivable. I think anyone on the fence should hold off for now.

Or just buy it for PC which I should have done

I've no problem spending 20 bucks on a five hour game if the five hours are quality. Anyway playing soon.

It's quality, but you'll leave disappointed when you finish it. Just warning you

Get the PC version if you can. The graphics are pretty stunning at ultra. Plus, it seems the PS4 version is suffering from bad optimization.

You get a new monitor breh?

Yeah besides my 4K tv I bought a 29 inch ultra wide hd and sync monitor LG model

 

[Leasy]

This the monitor bought it from microcenter

Played the first two days. Love the design and presentation of the game. PS4 got another one brehs.
