Current Events > So I decided to give Hellblade 1 a try and holy fuck

(+) Yeah! (+)

this is a movie game. For all the shit people give Sony games about being "movies" this one takes the cake by far. Even above Quantic Dream stuff imo.

definitely. very minimal gameplay in that one. idk why it got so much praise beyond bringing awareness to mental illness.

if you're not playing it with headphones you're playing it wrong

I am

Yeah this always made me chuckle. People constantly shit on Sony for movie games but Hellblade and more than likely the sequel are like, WAY more in the movie side. This would be more similar to say The Order 1866 or whatever than Uncharted or even Last of Us.

I don't think the game looked that good and nor does the sequel, so I feel bad for Ninja Theory moving forward.

Cuz it's a Sony game lol. Their games are like 90% about the spectacle. I'm talking cutscene action where realistically the player inputs like 5 times in 5 minutes, and they're all QTE shit or button prompts

Can you give actual examples of this cause I haven't seen 5 minutes of nothing with a few QTE's in them.
