The marketing behind the game has effectively not shown anything that's pretty much the bulk of the game. They've pretty much only shown like bits of one or two chapters.

 

[PS5 Pro]

The game has not been available to play.....

Though the Beta for Halo MCC has been sold to consumers for the past few months though

1.) The game has not been available to play So you don't remember the whole "It plays like Whack-a-mole" thing that was repeated during the last two times the game has been previewed?
I'd wanna forget that too if I was making a 2nd game and had to look back on where things went wrong
But to look the otherway during development is like, the dumbest fukkin thing you could possibly do
I'm talking about you the consumer. I shouldn't have to say that to a developer, but often times
Aren't you guys tired of this happening over and over again???

Post links to old articles (like you usually do) that have impressions of alpha and beta copies of a year old demo brehs....

What yall larrybots got poppin anytime soon? More infererior multiplats? Cause yall aint got shyt dropping till the 2nd half of the year.

No, this must be your first time online and in the gaming arena. You see kid, once they preview games at shows like E3/etc. People get to try them. Then they might let some websites/magazines try it. And as a smart consumer its in your best interest to pay attention to these things. You can find out how a game is this way instead of the fanboy hype that forums do. We knew Knack and DriveClub was boring, we knew titanfall was fun. We knew Destiny was limited, we knew Ryse's combat needed a little more to it to make it GREAT. Since you a sony head, we knew Killzone SF was not going to be KZ2 pt.2. But the 3cepts of this site ignored the signs I'm telling you to look for, then proclaimed the game to be authentic while twitch streaming acting like this is what next gen is all about

Now that you have been destroyed on that front, the latter part of your whimper. What Xbox got coming soon you say
White Night, Ori & the Blind Forest, Screamride, There came an Echo, QUANTUM fukkIN BREAK, State of Decay Those are just the confirmed first half of the year titles. The total confirmed titles already are staggering. And they all can't come out at the same time in the fall. You have two titles you know of coming this year (UC4 ain't dropping this year) and The Order has been confirmed as so have fun acting like you not starving out cheaaaaa

I'ma start posting impressions of beta copies of released games now

Name a beta you played that was different once it hit retail

PS4 finally stepping it up?

Let the Forum Fanboy hype commence

The escapists drops tomorow

The premise of the game is actually really really dope. And Final Fantasy 1 was one of my favorite games of all time (the graphics look like FF1-6). The combination makes me want it. But I gotta KNOW its fun before I make the splurge. They asking for $20 just about. I don't know

Only thing I don't like so far is the way the animations for melee looks so weak, like ...

Like they not trying to hurt each other and shyt. Also the big triangle prompt looks too distracting.

I think the way TLOU did it looked better.

You know, those graphics have been downgraded something CRUCIAL since they first revealed this title
And I guess they wanted to keep up with this game that looks to shyt all over this...

No need to waste bandwidth showing you how dude rolls up on nikkaz and hits them with that next gen UMPHHHH

I think this guy on gaf has the game.

Well here are my final impressions for the game, i'll review parts of the game in different categories , then the overall experience and summary.
I'll try to sum up everything as much as I can.

Graphics:
Technical marvel. True next-gen experience, on all fronts.
No loading times, super silky smooth frame rate (you all be surprised how smooth it is), no graphic glitches, amazing and consistent art all around.
A lot of times it's hard for you to grasp it's even a game running real time.
Black bars didn't really filled their job.
Making transitions back to gameplay already done better in games like MGS. They downgraded from the experience, from gameplay side and from art side.

Sound:
True 1886 era fitted music, amazing score and theme.
Voice acting is top notch all around.
Were moments I was surprised the developers added some of the sounds you usually don't hear while interacting with the environment.
The theme really works and sticks with you, other times though really good music kicks in but can be forgettable easily.

Menu and UI:
Menu is on the light side, something I like.
It's easy to navigate, and to understand and looks good.
Only thing that comes to mind on the bad side, is the weapon selection UI.
It's too big and centered in the middle of the screen, not very good while action is going.
No option to change button layouts is a big negative.

Pacing and story:
Starts really slow, the intro stays it's welcome way too much.
And on top of bad paced intro, it comes instead of good exposition that I felt lacking most of the game.
The story starts to pick up from late middle of the game, but when it does it grabs you so hard it makes you want to continue playing nonstop. Really emotional and good, something a lot of games having hard time to achieve.
Characters are really believable and make strong impact.
Sometimes the story kicks you to some places, which you wander what happened between the last cut scene to the next. I felt out of place when it happened, it felt unnatural to the flow of the game.
Sadly the game ends way too quick after the story really shines and makes you feel you deserved more.

Gameplay:
Odd design and gameplay decisions plague this game.
Basic cover and stealth mechanics makes a solid shooting encounters.
It also fails to explain in depth cover mechanics like camera bias (which is off by default) and corner cover switching, taking into account the game has a very long intro to introduce them.
You actually use some of the weapons once or twice the entire game. Made me wish I could use them more in the first time playing.
Setting up encounters in terms of level design and weapon placement can be better.
It's on par with KillZone SF right now.
QTE's in the game strike me as a failure from the gameplay design aspect for making better shooting encounters and "boos battles". Like Far Cry 3.

Overall:
Game is AAA with high production values, I don't think the negative outweighs the positive.
In a sense it's more of a journey, a really good and polished one we must endure till a sequel that will make good on gameplay without any black bars.
Is it worth the price of admission now? Yes.
There's nothing else like it on the market now, the wow factor is really big.
And if we put aside the wow factor, it's still a good polished story driven game with production values trough the roof.
Granted if you played uncharted or gears, there's a lot of room this game doesn't deliver, but overall it's something you can't allow yourself not to experience.

The order 1886, is really a new mascot for SONY. Just not too shiny

I think this guy on gaf has the game.

To add to that:

*From same guy*

I wasn't clear enough.
Not the entire gameplay aspect is on par with killzone.
Only the encounters in terms of level design and weapon placement.
Everything else with the order gameplay was solid.

Just finished it this moment, played it on hard.
I always change the setting before I start the games for the first time.

How many hours ? I don't know exactly i think it's around 12.5-13.5 hours.
No way near the stupid rumors that plagued the developers said.
