>final "boss" is just waves of enemies
>all actual bosses besides the first are relegated to side quests
what did they mean by this

anyone who sees this game and thinks about scp instantly reveals themself as a zoomer. supernatural government facility has been a trope fucking forever. scp was just a mediocre crowdsourced attempt at it

its only good as a tech demo, especially with dlss 2

It's actually just a big meme about this place.

>>get it on summer sale
but it's not on Steam?

its just quantum break 2 without the shitty television show aspect

>anyone who sees this game and thinks about scp instantly reveals themself as a zoomer.
the devs literally cite it as as main inspiration you moron

PSN

I'm actually "only" at the part after picking up the Hotline and proceeding into the maintenance area.
But I already bored gameplay wise, and I dont see any indication that its different from what I've seen so far.

If I keep playing, I'll definitely do that. But right now its become one of those games that you're about to hit "play" on, but stop because you're just not feeling it

Eh?
I’m pretty sure it’s a nod to the Asgard building in max payne, all the Norse references and it being older than Parliament House

>hyped by journos
That's how you know it will not be that good

>one of those games that you're about to hit "play" on, but stop because you're just not feeling it
You just described 95% of the games I try.

Except it wasn’t hyped by anyone

it's not ALL inspired by that building, but the devs do cite it as an inspiration for the Oldest House.

It’s a ten hour game, just beat it on a weekend.

OP here again. One thing I wanna add is how this game is really terrible in terms of exposition. The moment you meet your first NPC she's already telling you the ABCs of the whole situation.

Its like some anons here say: its just a tech demo and they didn't even try setting things up properly.

Obra Dinn and Outer Wilds were the last games I truly enjoyed.

Yeah well I just think there’s more internal parallels with MP
Doesn’t it run like shit on the PlayStation?

I remember the MC being touted as a big push for female leads, did she do much in that regard? What’s her name actually? I only ever see her referred to as man-jaw.

I found it quite good. Not game of the year by any means, but good. No idea what they were all smoking last year that this won over Days Gone, Jedi: Fallen Order, or Fire Emblem.

Jesse. She's kind of flat as a character but so is everyone else in the game.

I got at least 20 out of it another 8 out of the DLC

I mean, there's a couple direct Alan Wake references and I think it's even getting a whole Alan Wake DLC so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few winks and nods to other Remedy games.

>We're in an age of gaming where you have to tell people side quests are part of the game

Is the world IQ dropping?

Nope, it's crap the whole way through. The only redeeming qualities are James McCaffrey and Alan Wake's actor and the float ability you get.

The story has no conclusion, you never get cool weapons, nothing fun happens. Drop it now. It's fucking trash that's full of bugs.

>did she do much in that regard?
She was kinda ugly/plain, so that's what she did.

Would there be any difference if she were a man named Jesse?

>PS2 game tier of running through corridors and shooting shit, or can I drop it?
Lmao back to assassin's creed, kiddo

>this game is really terrible in terms of exposition
Ah, I see you’re not a fan of David Lynch or subtexts

I don't understand the thought process behind this game. 99% of what you read about is much more interesting than what you do.
Iirc, there is a document that implies your weapon shapeshifts to a form that fits the time, and that before it was a gun it was Excalibur and Mjolnir.
You have fucking Excalibur in the palm of your hand and they turn it into a gun that is also a small shotgun, a small sniper or a small machinegun. What the fuck.

there's one little bit towards the end that I think would work better for a girl character but otherwise it wouldn't make a difference

I don’t know if you know this user, but guns are more powerful than swords

The more I read the more this sounds like a tech demo for a game that became the game.

The game actually has a sorta-meta discussion on that, with how her brother is named Dylan and they could have easily swapped names, genders, or straight up combine the two characters without the plot changing a whole lot.
Honestly, all the dream discussions with Dylan were peak.

don't even pretend this is Lynch-tier subtle

The Service Weapon changes form based on what the collective unconscious deems the most powerful weapon of the age. Five guns in one with unlimited bullets would be considered much more powerful and versatile than a sword in the modern day

>Ah, I see you’re not a fan of David Lynch or subtexts
Actually, I'm a huge fan of Lynch's work. I don't know what Lynch has to do with needless exposition in a generic corridor shooter though.

>have a gun that can become LITERALLY ANY WEAPON
>can still only equip two forms at a time

Not really, FPS wise its fine, and visually its fine too, except for the occassional texture pops

My biggest gripe with the game was how lame the enemy variety was.

Yeah that's another point. Everything I encounter in this game is something we've all seen a hundred times already.

"Possessed" military isn't exactly something that puts me on the edge of my seat in 2020. Oh here's another variant: now they have shields, wow.

if you're not into the lore docs there's no need to go on

>man-jaw
don't take Zig Forums discussions to heart dumbo

i stole it and i couldn't stomach her ugly ass face and inner monologue, lost it 40 minutes in when they introduced the blonde dyke
physics looked cool, gameplay was meh

At least we got DYNAMITE DARLIN'

My point is that they took a shape shifting legendary weapon and made it into a boring gun.
They took a shapeshifting building and the most I remember was that they twist some rooms a bit, also it's bigger on the inside, whoopty-fucking-do.
They took the whole catalog of SCP, and I don't even remember seeing a non boring humanoid enemy outside of that shapeless thing that killed you if you touched them.

It's like they took everything that was interesting, relegated it to collectables, and made the rest of the game out of the scraps.

At the end of the day, coomers opinions are worth less than shit
