For me, it’s one of those games that’s so memorable I’ll likely never play it again.
It’s like a movie that’s held up by a decent twist
What made it so neat, though, is that that twist isn’t something that’s directly shown to you, but rather a dawning realization that you experience at some point during the game, and which every player will have at a different time.
It was alright. Gameplay was pretty typical. The story was neat, but it didn’t really do anything for me till the fourth quarter as things started coming together.
Honestly, the gameplay was what kept me from finishing the game. It was not the best, and I felt like it really left a lot to be desired (specifically in controls and the “feel” of shooting).
Also before I get any comments about it, I’ve already seen the scenes at the end of the game and I’m really not interested in finishing it. I know what I’m missing, and I’m okay with that (as emotionally touching as it is).
It played like any generic third person over the shoulder shooter. It didn’t have any unique mechanics or weapons that have it stand out… Aside from the one weapon you use once.
TLoU1 was that game for me. Way too heavy to play again
That’s weird. 2k published it and they like money.
That’s strange. Especially since it’s still for sale on places like GOG and on sale at that. Hopefully this is just an error on 2K or Valve’s end and it will be back up. If not then I don’t really know why. I mean it’s an anti-war third person shooter from 2012. Its not exactly the most controversial game anymore. Unless there’s some license that expired that 2K doesn’t want to pay to extend.
But why?
Music licensing shenanigans strike once again.
The evergreen digital market of today is just incompatible with the practices established back when stuff was sold in boxes and only expected to sell for 5-8 years, and every now and then we get a reminder of what happens when they don’t mesh.
Thankfully GoG was still selling it and discounted it massively to allow more people to preserve it.
I guess Valve doesn’t feel like a hero yet…
