Honestly I think the game is best played in the next 3-4 weeks, where the player base is at its highest. Things in the world will change dynamically.

Playing the game when there are little players, IMO at least - hampers the experience quite a bit. Being able to "connect" with other players is part of the game's alure, not connecting with anyone makes goes against what the game is trying to achieve.

well ordered it over on the PS Store. Should be able to download it on the 8th.

lets see

??
meeting another norman reedus in another dimension?

No.

The entire premise of the game is "connecting" fractured worlds and societies. Everyone when they first start the game is in their own "world", their own "society". The player will connect these worlds together with other players with bridges, ladders, ropes, shelters and helping one another to deliver lost/dropped packages. Think dark souls messaging or death system, it's similar to that but in a more elaborate way.

You're not going to see another Norman in the game.

just wondering how this connecting with other players work? As time goes, more and more players will be leaving behind their stuff in the game, will i see thousands of ladders scattering around?

I already explained it a few times; think about Dark Souls/Bloodborne. How players leave messages or how you can see the way when they last died. It's basically the same thing here, just replaced with objects.

When you first start the game, you won't see anything. Places where you haven't made a connection yet, you won't see bridges or ladders connected by other players. You will see them in your side quest runs, where you go back to the place you once connected. Who knows whether there will be thousands of ladders, that's why I'm eager to see how the world develops in the next few days. This is something reviewers don't get to experience because there's like what... a 100+ review codes that was sent out? For me and my time with the game, it was almost empty which as I've said - hampered the experience a bit.

Connecting areas is part of the story and that's what many people don't understand. You don't just run from point A to point B, the challenge is trying to reach point B.

My bad I bought the pre-order version from PS Store


Played 2 chapters..its..quite interesting..

Something very different finally!

DAMN!

btw dont spoil or i will haunt you until end of days!

Kojima spoiled us from the trailer already

Walking sim much .

This is one of those rare games which has close to perfect HDR implementation .

Colors are toned down a little but still appear very saturated and very moody , right at the sweet spot .


Foliage looks insanely realistic . HDR makes them more vibrant , shiny and wet from all the rain effects .
Was comparing it with HDR on & off , almost look like a different game .


I am truly blown away by all the graphical details from the game , especially on character models and how expressive they are .
At times it doesn't even look like a current gen and I forgot I was watching motion capture for a game.

If you haven't got a good HDR TV & PS4 pro , this is a good reason to get one .


P/S : The soundtrack is amazing !

Quite a lot of cut scenes, very impressive, thought I was watching some Netflix dramas.
