Just finished it on hard after redboxing it yesterday.
My god that game is frustrating in its inconsistency. I LOVED the feel of the shooting and the weighty guns, and the story managed to pull me in. Fighting Lycans was very dumb though, I quickly learned to just spam the X button even while firing and they could never hit me. QTE final boss battles also = LOL.
That ending pissed me off. First of all, at his trial, why the FUCK couldn't he say something? If he even just told everyone Alistar was a Lycan, I bet some of the Knights would have at least been suspicious enough to investigate and give Galahad the chance to be proven right given his centuries of loyalty. He could have also told Isi or Lafayette but nope, he didn't BECAUSE REASONS!!!
lol. A great story undone by a nonsensical ending that has all the characters taking actions they wouldn't otherwise take. I bet this is one of those situations where they had an ending in mind ahead of time and refused to change it. I do hope this gets a sequel, it was fun enough for me to be worth the rental and I like the universe. But I do hope they make it longer and trim out a lot of the QTE.
The game can still be linear, they should ask Naughty Dog for advice. The Last of Us is an excellent model for what this game should have been more like. Cinematic but still loaded with excellent gameplay and not overdone cutscenes. But def don't change the feel of the guns. Some of my favorite 3rd person shooter gunplay since Max Payne 3. I love how meaty they feel.
P.S.
Is it just me or did this totally steal the ending of the Dark Knight? Galahad is basically Batman at the end looking over the city. He is the hero they deserve, but not the one they need right now. So they will hunt him, because he can take it.
