That's what annoys me. Of course it looks good. It unequivocally looks good. The story is also likely to be good.

I want to know how does it play

Enemy getting ready to toss a grenade at you behind cover while his friend fires off a few rounds to keep you there.

You roll out of cover and active black sight as you get to your feet blow the grenade up mid flight. Fire a few rounds into the guy that tossed the grenade black sight ends so swap to shotgun and run over to the enemy that was using suppressive fire to keep you pinned down. Blow his ass in half and turn to the asshat that tossed the grenade at you run up and blow his legs off for his trouble. That's how the game plays.

Owning a very powerful PC,XB1,PS4 and Wii U as well as several older consoles (Snes still hooked up) I am 100% confident its about to be a polarizing affair. Graphically the game changes the standard I don't care what platform you play on seeing this shit in motion is completely jarring in a good way. My wife has watched every second that I have played. The last game she sat and watched me play in its entirety was TLOUr.

Journalists should more frequently include this type of narrative in their reviews when describing or summing up game play.

I'm so damn hungry for ANY information related to this game...refreshing TO threads like a maniac.

Feb.20 is too far away.

So you'd say the enemy AI is really strong? That's the only worry I have, from old builds and what not, that the AI is dumb as rocks in the final retail version.

I don't know what to believe at this point. I was reading that IA was extremely dumb, so it appears from leaked videos at least :|

Yeah the AI is the final piece of the puzzle for me.

Everything else looks absolutely fantastic, from the classic and impactful gunplay to the extremely top-notch production values.

I'm really hoping there are some interesting AI patterns that keep the game play tense and somewhat strategic.

I guess because I love the setting so much... I actually decided to write a sort of short story fanfiction.

http://pastebin.com/ZkUTrrJU

Not very long, but I hoped to keep in tone with what I have seen thus far. Anyone mind reading it and just giving me a quick comment? :)

Some of it maybe horribly off, I haven't watched any of the spoilers- just trailers and some of the spoiler-less wiki.

I'm such a nerd. lol.

Hard is the new normal I play all games on the hardest setting from the word go.

So fucking hard not too, the story is so tied into everything its hard to talk about anything without stepping on RADs toes. Gameplay really feels like a mix of TLOU and Gears of War. The only complaint I have is that some of the story building (slower moments) tend to go on for a bit too long.

The AI is good enemies take cover and actually try to flank you. Its not super advanced but they don't just stand there and wait on you to shoot them like they did at PSX.

Sorry took so long to respond we got kind of busy.

It doesn't seem to me like this narrative of a brief combat scenario speaks to the AI at all.

Basically there are two enemies, one throws a grenade, one is shooting a gun. The player uses bullet time to blow up the grenade and then kills them both. It illustrates the utility of the player's toolkit, but doesn't convey anything about the AI one way or the other.

Sounds like I'll play on hard then. The AI behavior sounds much better than what we've seen so far. It hasn't been frustrating, has it?

I don't get how you imply anything AI related from that description. It describes the actions of the player in a relatively standard situation. Two enemies, one firing suppression, the other throwing a grenade --> Deal with it, using the tools you have available.

The AI of the enemies could be anything from dumb as bricks to F.E.A.R -tier and the description of that situation would still be essentially the same, barring that F.E.A.R -tier guys would be likely to try to flank you at the same time.

Edit: Ah, here we have some actual input on the AI itself.

So enemies fire from cover and throw grenades? Do they flank? Do they call out where you are? Are they active?

Based on the streams I've watched, the enemies seem to be very stagnant and more or less sit and wait for you to flank them. They may try and flank some, but the AI seems to be very basic. Your comments above don't give me that much comfort.

Oh well, I will keep trying to find someone to sell me the game early!

Pretty much like Gears of War, dude. The part I played at PAX last year was so Gears in all the best ways.


I'm more concerned about the content. Will I crush this thing in 6 hours? Is there any kind of New Game + mode? Anything to keep me coming back at all? I have no idea and that's what's holding me back.

I have the house all to myself next weekend too, so it'd be the perfect time to get a new game and just play the shit out of it, but I can't shake the feeling it'll be over in a heartbeat and I'll be mad I paid $60 for it. I suppose there's always eBay......decisions, decisions....

No story spoilers, it's a gunfight in a location that's already revealed but just not this specific portion. It's a continuation of this part if you don't want to see what comes after it.

It speaks a lot to me because I've read that enemies stand still waiting to be shot, not very aware of the environment, it started to sound like enemies were ninepins. With this game everything becomes a hyperbole :|
