Thread 717365584

the great debate

they're both shit

>>717365687
what didn't you like about them

>>717365687
fpbp
fuck this pozzed company

Neither of them want to be a game.

>>717365895
no physical edition, for starters
also the woke niggertroonslop, but that goes without saying

>>717366219
>top tier gunplay for their respective genres
>explorations and puzzles
>pushing graphical fidelity extremely hard
>literal bing bing wahoo jumping and dashing around(in Control at least)
So... how are they not trying to be games? Is it just the fact they have like dialogue and stuff?

Kojima grade pretentiousness but without the full blown weebonese wackiness.

>flashes negative scary beard man screaming

>>717365584 (OP)
Control was really cool but the ending was so limp and a excuse to continue the game it turned me off playing it any longer
>you did it! you beat the evil! you're the best director!
>actually the evil is still here btw hop to it do your timed events for the dogshit upgrade parts
fuck right off, the Alan Wake dlc made me burst out laughing because absolutely everyone knows who Alan is just based off his voice, how many authors are renowned for their voice? worldwide? the main character instantly knowing him was the funniest thing
>Is that THE Alan Wake?!
also how does Quantum Break fit into the universe?

>>717365895
They're woke.

Nobody ITT played these games.

>>717365687
FPBP and /thread, neither are good at all

>>717365584 (OP)
Both are actually 2/10 trash, unironically.

>>717366881
>85% of the cast is scandinavian

>>717365584 (OP)
Control is better sirs

>>717366609
And without anything resembling fun gameplay

Control, AW2 felt bloated storywise

>>717365584 (OP)
one was a good shooting, kinetic powers, is fun to play, has interesting setting and amazing musical level
other one is bloated, repetitive and time wasting mess with shooting so bad it would work better as a walking simulator. It is also horrible written and has pretentious plot.
Control > Wake shit

>>717365584 (OP)
Control has better gameplay so probably that

>>717366394
>>717366881
>WAHH WOKE WOMAN WAHH
Get a grip faggot

>>717365584 (OP)
There's no debate. It's AW2. Control is the most 7/10 game ever.

Control was decent, but not much more than that. Think some parts of the lore were cool, but the actual plot of the game wasn't that good and there was too much lore also. The gameplay was fun for a while but not fun enough after 15 hours of playing it. I remember starting the Alan Wake DLC towards the end of the game, played it for an hour and quit. I knew I could only power through like 1 more hour of the game and had to finish it.

>>717365584 (OP)
Ape Esacpe

>>717365584 (OP)
as a brutalist fag I love Control and cant wait for the second one

>>717369382
tbf in the original teaser (in Quantum Break) Anderson was white, if the name didnt give you enough of a hint

>>717369962
Technically she still is white. They're both variants of the same person. Like Mr. Hatch & Mr. Door. Jack Joyce & Tim Breaker. Max Payne & Alex Casey. Beth Wilder & Jesse Faden.

>>717369656
The absence of a proper map dampened my enjoyment of Control by a substantial margin. I know I sound like a fag but the game would have been a lot better if it had a Metroid Prime style 3D map, or failing that even a big in your face waypoint telling you where to go

>>717365584 (OP)
>>717369842
watched some Control playthroughs and really enjoyed the design and architecture. Really wish I could find some concept or an artbook of it. I really like Brutalist architecture.

>>717366561
did we ever find out what color rose's panties are?

>>717365687
Holy fucking based FPBP

>>717372462
>Really wish I could find some concept or an artbook of it.
Same. There was a limited artbook released after the game picked up Steam but it's stupidly expensive now.
I wish I had something control-related IRL Some guy I met at Gamescom 2019 got a t-shirt from the devs.

>>717365687
fpbp, Remedy hasn't been good in two decades

the only thing I liked about adam woke 2 was the musical scene and when I opened /v/ to shit on the game and praise the scene, everyone was shitting on that scene

>>717372462
>watched some Control playthroughs
Wait, do people actually sit down and watch someone else play a game from start to finish in lieu of playing it themselves? I thought that was just a meme

>>717366561
>top tier gunplay

>>717372885
What third person games have better gunplay than Control? What survival horror games have better gunplay than AW2?
I'm not saying there aren't any, but they're easily in the upper tier for those genres

>>717370874
I wish she was in the game too.

>>717372845
>when I opened /v/ to shit on the game
what exactly did you not like about the game? I think it wasn't that bad, considering it was funded by epic and had an unlikeable protagonist that was shoehorned in

>>717365584 (OP)
Rocket knight adventures

>>717372983
>What third person games have better gunplay than Control?
Literally, 90% of third-person shooters. Max Payne games put it to shame, I don't know what went wrong there with Remedy. Throwing shit is fun for a moment, but the gun is awful to use.
>What survival horror games have better gunplay than AW2?
That's like asking which puddle of puke is more appetizing, none of them have good gun mechanics

>>717372983
>What third person games have better gunplay than Control?
I would argue that Control has decent gunplay but it is absolutely not in the same leagues as Max Payne, RE4 or Dead Space. Control's strength is its presentation and general atmosphere, not gameplay.

control has a cool concept and it makes me want to replay it but shame that the rest of the game is shit
repetitive gameplay, characters and dialogues are boring

>>717365584 (OP)
Alan wake 2

>>717365687
retard

>>717372845
The musical scene was peak theater kid bullshit and was a blatant waste of budget in a pathetic attempt at making a viral memetic moment to sell the game. No wonder the game financially flopped.

>>717373281
RE4 and Dead Space are not really comparable to Control, those are more in the stop and shoot genre like AW2
As for Max Payne I recently replayed the entire series on hard boiled, 1 and 2 are honestly pretty vanilla and way too reliant on the bullet time. 3 is the real standout of the series but people have a hard on against that one for some reason

>>717365584 (OP)
aw2 is not even a game

>>717372845
>>717373551
The problem with the musical scene was that they did it twice in the same game, and neither is as good as the one in Alan Wake 1

>>717373452
yes you are

>>717365584 (OP)
Haven’t played AW2 but Control was unironically one of the worst games I’ve ever played.
>Guns were dogshit and everything that wasn’t the basic shot was almost useless
>enemies with homing rockets everywhere
>retarded crafting item/tiered upgrade drops with very limited inventory
>retarded level up skill system
>some of the gayest quirk chungus dialogue and twin peaks ripoff characters imaginable
>boring featureless corridors the entire game with backtracking
>unbelievably fucking buggy with constant crashes, side quest that don’t trigger, constant slowdown, and my save data even got corrupted
Holy shit Control was hot fucking garbage.

>>717373101
I actually liked the game overall but I had issues with how little "horror" there was, I thought that the first one was better in that aspect
another thing I didn't like too much but it's probably on me is the alan wake character, I liked his "portrayal" more in the first one since it reminded me of the old ps1 horror games where the guy was just there
but anyways, my first post was kinda bullshit, I did like the game, I just wanted to say that I actually really liked the musical scene and I stand by it, and I was surprised when I saw /v/ shitting on it

>>717373851
sounds like you got hardfiltered desu

>>717365584 (OP)
Alan Wake 2. Control was pretty bad.

>>717371086
Nothing wrong with that. The thing is anon a game having no map requires it be designed in a way that is intuitive so you can actually get a sense of location to navigate yourself. Without that a map is necessary.

The air dash is bad? there's a hyena screaming? this game is actually great, you just got filtered by it.

>>717373851
>>retarded crafting item/tiered upgrade drops with very limited inventory
>>retarded level up skill system
yeah that wasn't great
>some of the gayest quirk chungus dialogue and twin peaks ripoff characters imaginable
what? where? constant crashes was understandable but i dont know what you're talking about writing wise, everyone seemed to have their head firmly up their own egotistical ass when they spoke

>>717374753
If your argument hinges on X7 being bad you don't have a leg to stand on

>>717375787
I finally found you, the guy that don't think that X7 is hot garbage.
Thanks for proving that /v/ has every opinion.

>>717365687
True. Still, Control is less shit than AW2.
