It's only worse if you want to unlock everything, some of the later unlocks take absurd amounts of resources and time. But nothing that's essential.

It's wonderful, please buy it. It made me cry like a little girl at least 3 times. It's sad and beautiful and clever. Little clunky around the edges due to budget, but it's got heart and soul in abundance. The game is luminous.

From what I gathered from the BF4 thread, Dice did a good job of taking the fun out of the game. I bought the whole deal with season pass when it was on sale and haven't really touched it.

I loved it at full price. But it's very slow. And you just walk around and listen to sparkly things talk to each other. I can totally understand why people hate it too.

-e- maybe watch a bit of a Youtube walkthrough (early game, so you don't get spoilers) to see if you might like it?

I liked it a lot but I also can't deny it is slow and lacking any real interactivity even for a walking sim. If slowly walking through a fully realized British countryside and uncovering a cool scifi story sounds good to you, go for it.

Would it be super :tinfoil: to speculate that whenever they have a Plus lineup that's total poo poo, they make sure to get one game people have at least heard of and put it up with two no-name games in a vote that's a foregone conclusion? Cause that sure is what it looks like.

Honestly the most annoying thing about that lineup for me is that the choice game was supposed to be in addition to the other games, not instead of one.

They could start putting up good games again or offering just SOMETHING ELSE. Hell, give new PS+ people the option to pick from some old PS+ freebies they may have missed out on. I don't care. Anything.

Oh yeah, it most definitely is, and I got it, because my PlayStation account was compromised some years back. Because I decided to stick with them and give them more money, I am now offered it again! It's a win-win!

But by good games, I mean, like fuller, higher-quality games. Like, P4AU shouldn't be the rarest of exceptions. Years ago, we got things like Dragon's Dogma and Uncharted 3. Now, we have... Dragon Fin Soup.

Well that was more in response to him saying "why don't they give out good games they've already given away to newer members" and I was just saying Stardust HD would still fall under that criteria.

I guess so - that's what I paid and even though I was let down I didn't feel ripped off.

The main reasons to play the game are the graphics and music, but the movement speed is painfully and distractingly slow even if you hold down the run button the entire time. It takes the "walking simulator" genre very literally in that regard. The story was disappointing for me, too, but I went in with decent expectations. With low to moderate expectations you should enjoy it.

Echoing what was said before, it's good but slow, and you've got to be down for what it offers. It's absolutely a great and pretty recreation of a 1984 English village, and it's even a little sad creepy at times.

The soundtrack alone is worth it, stunning work there. All the side story vignettes are great, but I had some issues with the two main characters. Going for the platinum made me replay it a couple of times and somehow the more time I spent with it, the more I just appreciated being in this little time capsule. But then, rainy campsites in 1984 was my childhood, so I got a very specific nostaliga buzz from it. I still get the urge now and then to load it up for a quick wander down the streets for a virtual tour.

Definitely worth playing, and the price is up to you, depending on how much walking simulators are your thing. Pro-tip: there's a "run" button. There's a lot of walking, and moving a bit faster helps mitigate one of the biggest issues people had with it.

The slowness of EGttRapture is clearly engine limitations. The game does look great, but even that tiny bit of extra speed you get from holding the 'run' button causes noticeable pop-in.

Just nthing that it really is worth buying. Gameplay wise it is the best in the series imho. You will burnout it and tired of some of the missions, especially sideops. But even so you're going to get dozens of hours gameplay out of it.
