You flock over to anything I say so you can pour on the insults, It's gotten so sad that your own caucess scratches their heads at how many times you just HAVE to respond to my posts with derogatory comments. It's embarassing.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Releases on |The Game Awards 2023
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
A Sony guy over at the GAF thread had this to say about the game (he took off the fanboy shades):
"I'm a Sony fan and think this thing looks incredible, the graphics are amongst the best I've seen, right up there with the best ND or Santa Monica could produce and with the realism that they're pushing it's easily surpassing anything I've played on my PS5, about time Xbox got a massive exclusive win, well I sincerely hope it's a win"

Hellblade II | The Game Awards 2023 Trailer (Releasing 2024)
That looks incredible, right up my street but alas I'm balls deep into Sony so I'll miss out but man that looks a right banger and I hope it's a 10/10 for you green goblin fuckers
Hm I dunno. I think the The Order was a much better "video game" than Hellblade was.
Hellblade launched on PS4 and didn't come to Xbox until much later. So it's not really an Xbox game series. And it sucked on PS4 from day 1. Plenty of people did not like it, including myself, because the gameplay is about as shallow as you can get (some of the "puzzles" are practically made for babies). It also GREATLY benefitted from being pretty cheap. They knew they weren't delivering a full game. I remember laughing at the game while playing before it ever existed on Xbox.
Remember, the main hook of the game was "experience what it's like to be someone with schizophrenia!" Which consisted of some whispering voices in surround sound. It was just stupid and kind of self important in that way. Like ... the stuff they are doing is not deep or profound lol. Instead, it was just corny. And unfortunately the second one seems to be going harder on that angle IMO. Like all that "metal" music while she chants and glowers at the screen lol.I have no interest in the melodramatic pap. That actually goes for a lot of games coming out these days, but that's another issue. But it begs the question, does Senua shop at Hot Topic?
This game has now become the poster child for "look, my console can do good graphics too!" And that's about as uninteresting as a product can get IMO. The gameplay shots from the trailer look identical to part one, which is why I said that's a bad thing. Because part 1 was bad. Which ... it was. No getting around that IMO.
Since they got bought out by MS, some people act like this game is going to be the next big world beater, but we've seen over and over again just throwing good money after bad doesn't equate to success or quality. They need to prove they can actually make a good game. So far it looks like another UE5 tech demo with the same "I'm so sad" silliness, and weak sword combat. I know I have no interest in spending valuable time on a product like that.
So yeah ... I don't think it really compares to The Order in that sense. That game was great visually, and was fine for an early platform title, but it got plenty of criticism. It was not treated like it was going to be the game to end all games like some people are treating Hellblade 2.
I would bet good money Hellblade 2 will be a great looking, and extremely mediocre, video game.
This is from his own screenshots .
You’re debating a PC loser. Graphics are all they think matters, since they’re too busy jerking off over spec sheets to actually play games.
I just watched the trailer one more time.
The visuals look fine. I don't think they look a level above what we already have really. And a lot of it is quite dark, which as people who do visuals know, is a lot easier to make good than stuff in full daylight.
It also looks really soft?
But the main problem is the theme, content, gameplay etc. You can tell it's just like the first one. And like I said much earlier and above, the first one is bad lol.
I mean it has nothing to do with being on Xbox, I really don't care about that. There are plenty of PS and Nintendo games out there I don't think are that well done, but yeah.
The console wars are boring because they make people lie to themselves.

You have to admit, some of the extreme delusion on team green these days is pretty hilarious.
Here are the reviews for The Order.
www.metacritic.com
Again, was treated like an actual video game and criticized pretty heavily.
Hellblade 1 actually reviewed better, but it was also like half the price and wasn't held to the same standard IMO. You can apply those quotes from that Meteoritic page directly to Hellblade. It had even less gameplay than The Order from what I remember, too. So yeah, The Order is not more celebrated than Hellblade 1. Not even close really.
The Order: 1886
The Order: 1886 introduces us to a unique vision of Victorian-Era London in which Man uses advanced technology to battle a powerful and ancient enemy. As Galahad, a member of an elite order of Knights, join a centuries-old war against a powerful threat that will determine the course of history...

I don't need to downplay anything, it's all right there in what they show, over and over again :
Slow walking forward ✓
Slow camera pan ✓
Extreme close-ups of faces ✓
Schizo voices ✓
Hellblade 1 combat ✓
That last one is new from yesterday.
I hope the devs take another 6 months of dev time, milking MS with their salaries, to add some nose hair to the characters.
And some teeth whitening for Senua. Brush your yellow teeth psycho girl
So I’m trying Callisto Protocol tonight and I actually think it looks quite similar to HB2 in a lot of ways. Makes sense though, both UE5 (I know an engine doesn’t really dictate the look but … ) and both dark environments. I don’t see how HB2 even has a claim to being a graphical showcase with a game like this around like two years before it releases.
This is a bad comparison.
The Order 1886 looked impressive in both graphics and gameplay. The main issue when it was released was the length of the game. This was discovered shortly before the game's release, along with many repetitive boss fights.
I really wouldn't talk about hypocrisy in this thread.
A fan base who talked badly about third-person, over-the-shoulder cinematic games sure love this............ third-person action, over the shoulder cinematic video game.
I think there is a lot of truth in this statement except for the 50-hour bit
It's more like 150 hours, it's okay to admit it, come clean now.
Damn you. I'm going to SA (Starfielders Anonymous), ok?I think there is a lot of truth in this statement except for the 50-hour bit
It's more like 150 hours, it's okay to admit it, come clean now.
I was only speaking of the graphics with a limited choice and environments. The game was praised for it's graphics.
I'm finally going to permanently erase your comments from my account as the mods have told me. You really are a cancer to these boards.
