Played it on PS4 and it was average
Played it on PS4 and it was average, got very repetitive quick and the mods respawn rate was insane you could literally kill a group turn around walk 10 steps turn around and the mods had respawned, it drove me mad you never felt like you were making any headway and having to return again and again to the same areas and having every mob spawned back just killed it for me...

One of the most overrated PS games in existence. PS fanboys blow it way out of proportion. Its an "ok" game. Not a masterpiece. Nowhere near as good as the first Last of Us game as far as story telling goes.

mods? mobs?
lmao this game is fantastic and Horizon Forbidden west will probably be even better after what they learned from this title and the feedback they received.

I liked it very much on the PS4 Pro. Actually, withouth this game, I would not have bought the console (my very first console) at that time.

There were several other very impressive PS4 exclusives this generation so there is a good chance one of those would've convinced me eventually, but I was already sold after HZD. :D

I never gave up on pc gaming though. I only played the exclusives on the PS4 Pro. So I'm very much looking forward to this pc release. :)

Didn't say it was bad but I didn't like all the run around back and forth and the mob respawn rate totally ruined it for me. If it comes on Sale I may try the PC version it looks great graphically and maybe they have tweaked it, just not a fan of games that require you to repeat over and over killing the same mobs every time you pass through an area you've just cleared.

Id defo agree and its a very RPG lite more action game with a bit of RPG stuff just so they could add it as a tag in the list...

For me it’s actually the other way around.i bought and played tlou definitive edition, and I was waiting for the game to get good until the end. The gameplay and mechanics were absolutely boring, and after suffering through it for like 10 hours I got fed up with the one shot mechanics and just dropped the difficulty.

I can see the appeal as far as story goes. It’s definitely better than most games out there, but For me its ‘good zombie movie’ grade, and not the absolute pinnacle in storytelling like many will have you think.

By the end I got so fed up with the gameplay and was “why am I doing this again ?” That-at I just watched a no commentary playthrough of the dlc on YouTube. It was a more enjoyable experience than actually playing it myself.

Back on topic: what drew me in this game was the lore/backstory and exploration aspects. The ‘main quest’ is very linear, but after a certain point the world opens up and you’re free to explore the world. High level areas are mostly locked off in an organic way, with enemies that are very hard to beat/sneak past, or guards that will not allow you passage.

Even when performing the side quests I felt like I was playing the story of my main character, obtaining better gear and learning to deal with new threats. It didn’t have that “the world is ending” main quest with “go fetch my lost chicken” side quests feel.

Just don’t go into this game expecting a huge character driven RPG. It’s an action game where they wanted to make a game and the first thing on the drawing board was “DINO ROBOTS YEAAAAAAH”. The fact that it had an engaging story and world that drew me in was icing on the cake.

The respawning enemies also reminded me each time on how far I’ve come, in a “I had to sneak past you before, now come here so I can harvest your parts” way :)

Overall plot is interesting, characters aren't great and the voice acting ranges from mediocre to god awful as does character writing, but gameplay is fun and the graphics/art are stellar.

If I play a 720 30fps game on PS4 of course it’s going to be average.
Sig Jul 7, 2020 @ 3:27am 
It's 1080p but yeah your entire comment is garbage

Its 1080p on the PS4 Pro if my memory serves, but either way it wasn't that that put me off it was lacklustre gameplay repetitive and super fast respawning mobs that killed it for me. I'm sure the PC version will look amazing on a good rig but I'm not convinced it will have any gameplay changes to fix the bits I hated so ill wait for a sale...

It's either 1080p in performance mode or 4k checkerboard in quality mode on PS4 Pro and it's always 1080p on the PS4. The game does not run 720p, there isn't even a resolution scaling going on according to several technical analysis videos.
