Beyond: Two Souls discussion

From the little I watched, it seemed fun, but I laughed way too many times during the beginning of the game. It's hard to take the plot seriously, especially when it's jumping around. Like, right at the beginning when Ellen Page is just sitting still and staring. That came across more funny than serious to me. Maybe it was because the graphics, as great as they are, tend to make everything look like a video game, or the characters and plot just aren't as strong to me, but at the very least, it entertains me in a Ed Wood kind of way. You never know though, perhaps I'll end up under the spell of the story and have a different change of tune. We'll see, but first impressions didn't leave me feeling like this was a revolution. The game, like QD's predecessors, end up feeling like a stripped down version of old point and click games, without the challenge in solving a puzzle.
 
Let me guess now it "sucks" ore seems less interesting.. LOL People in forums are predictable drones that need validation for their purchases.

:laugh:
 
This game deserves better. It's pretty cool. Camera angles kill it though.
 
I am enjoying it so far,only about 5 or 6 chapters in(I just finished the Train/Bicycle part that was in the demo),which is awesome by the way,getting a little quicker with the controls so I fumble a little less,although that last part of the training I had to redo 3 times...graphics in the evenings are gorgeous,reminds me of Alan Wake sometimes with the ligthing and the story is good...

Please keep posting with your impressions.
 
Still loving this..at first I didn't like that the chapters are kinda random but now that I did about 12 of them,I can see why they did it...playing as a kid for 4 chapters might become boring so this way,it's better...not that the kid stuff is bad,there's some good stuff with her also but it's slower paced...Ellen Page is awesome,her voice acting is perfect,I whish she would do more work on video game voices hehe...

I just went through a section that was tense,even though there is almost no penalty in ''action moments'' if you miss some controls(in some instances,nothing appears on screen,you just have to do it)...some dont like that but I dont mind...this was followed by another chapter that started out slow but man,again,awesome stuff as things start to unfold,story was very well told...this is better then Heavy Rain for me,even though I liked HR also...

Yeah, thanks, Ricker. A lot of people over at GAF seem to be enjoying it, too. I look forward to trying it out for myself someday.
 
So i finished it last night(around 10-12 hours) and wow,amazing game,loved every minute of it,there is just one chapter that I didn't like as much...the graphics are truly amazing,one of the last level I thought I was playing on the PS4 lol ;)...the story was great,won't say a damn word about it just in case of spoilers,even minor ones because a lot of it depends on that...one of the endings could lend itself really well for a sequel /spin-off but Cage says he will never do sequels for any game...too bad lol.

In my top 5 this year,and one of the best attempt yet to merge movie and game as one,superb.
 
I finished it the other day as well. And I have to say, despite the fact that it feels a bit disjointed at times, due to the story being told out of chronological order, it's a very well-made game. Definitely a worthy successor to Heavy Rain.

I'll probably go through again to see the other endings, but doing so immediately feels like it would cheapen the accomplishment of the ending I got, which I liked very much.
 
I tried the demo, not too bad it plays a lot better than Heavy Rain, those controls were so clunky Beyond is MUCH easier to play. I will have to pick this up in the near future :).
 
I was so split on this game i bought Heavy Rain for $9.99 at Gamestop. I figured everyone was talking about how good that game was and i hadn't played it. If i enjoy that one, i'll pick this one up.
