Preload done (like 2 hours ago). :blessed:

This better be one of the best games ever :ufdup:
Taken with a grain of salt but these are the rumors.

  • Character swapping is just like GTA5 including transition effects where the camera zooms out into the world and back in. Characters are going about their day as they are swapped in. One time he swapped into Oongka in the middle of a gigantic battle and had to fight his way out.
  • Finished the game without the Day 1 patch and encountered only minor bugs. Everything that felt "off" in previous gameplay has been fixed (footstep sounds, running animations, weird reactions when getting hit)
  • Played RDR2 for about 600 hours and he suggested CD was similar in tempo.
  • Praised the world design, each piece of content draws you in with a sense of purpose unlike the "Ubisoft style checklist questing"
  • Main story can be brutally hard if you rush it without upgrading Kliff
  • Every region has a different difficulty, becomes harder when you go east and north.
  • Played on 5080 at 1440p cinematic settings without frame drops or stutters
  • Score/soundtrack is legendary
  • Did not find all the game systems to be fatiguing or stressful to deal with
  • Inventory space can be tight at first but was not an issue late game as side quests reward you with more storage
  • Stated it was the "game of his life", played 10h daily since he got the review code
  • No life'd the game to finish the review but still not seen 50% of the bosses
  • Avoided giving story details cause of the strict embargo but said "there are twists".
  • Another reviewer when asked how the game was, linked to a EGM 1998 quote about Zelda Ocarina of Time that translates to "Savor it because this is as good as its going to get for a very long time".
