came back to say “we told you so”

yeah but that has nothing to do with what I initially said or what I said just before your recent comment….I built a PC as well, its interesting and great, but when it comes down to all those other things I mentioned, gamers are as ignorant as ever :

Because some games are easier…….I’ll give that to you, but other than that no I do not agree.

All in all we are gamers and if you prefer to be called stupid, or less than people were considered mentally years ago then that is a choice you have made. I personally feel smarter as I have decided years ago to forego a prebuilt computer and build me own ever since. Every build has been a learning experience and I’ve always tried for doing most things to the best of my abilities.

nah…look at what games are now, if you were to take todays “gamer” and give him a game from the PS1-PS2 era, they would struggle, games today are really easy compared to what they were, givin a few exceptions, but still, people are more impatient and seemingly too stupid to realize that they’re ruining something for themselves..and I would have to disagree with the idea that “gamers” are getting “smarter”, people are only getting more arrogant, but thats about it, more entitled, sure, but I haven’t seen a real increase in brains around the gaming community…but hey, games are super dumbed-down now, so I can’t blame people for not really being capable of using their heads. :/

Flynn Effect.

Maybe your not part of “most people” after all…..

No, no they aren’t

FINALLY someone who has arguments. Thank you.

All the things you said are legit reasons to be worried, but the thing is RaD hasn’t shown much, so they wouldn’t spoil anything. We already know there will be gunfights, and infiltration. Now will we have a choice, like in TLOU for example ? We don’t know.

From what I’ve seen, QTE during melee combat is only used for a more “cinematic” feel, for screenplay. Why not, if it’s not used too much. As for the rest, melee combat look a lot like Watch Dogs.
– Get close enough
– Press a button
– There ya go

Once again, about player freedom, we haven’t seen it yet, but it seems there is some. RaD always said there would be open spaces, and that the game wasn’t only a 12 hour corridor, it wasn’t THAT linear. Sadly, they didn’t really show it, but that screenshot seem to confirm it. I really hope there will be more. Because it’s still not much.

I do hope too we will have other things to do than just walking/running/hitting/shooting. Some crafting would be neat, and I would love an actual reason to think “Hey, I should go explore this place, even though I don’t have to”.

Personnally, I won’t mind if the final game looks like Heavy Rain with more gameplay, but I’d rather have something closer to TLOU or Uncharted, for that matter.
But then again, I’m already sold for the setting, the lore, the characters, the guns and the music. Anything else will be a nice plus, but I won’t mind too much if that’s all there is.

RaD never hid anything, they stated from the very beginning that they wanted to make a “cinematic” experience, quite close to Heavy Rain or Beyond: Two Souls, and so far they seem to have delivered on that, and there is much more gameplay, gunfights, etc…
But we don’t really know how close to these games it will be, based on the little they showed.

So in conclusion, don’t pre-order it, except if you’re already hyped by what we’ve seen : a linear cinematic experience.
But let’s not just bash it, saying it’s going to suck (I’m not pointing at you, I’m saying in general). We might me pleasantly surprised.

From the little we’ve seen, you already know the game will be full of QTEs ?
How do you do ? A crystal ball ? Cards maybe ? Teach me master

Speak for yourself….Most people are getting smarter.

And that is your opinion. Video gamers as a whole are getting smarter since the years before. Especially since they have to decide whether or not they are getting completely lied to before a games’ release. If I didn’t want to know anything about a game that I wanted to buy……….I would not be on sites explaining most things about the game before launch and before I played it.
