Shame it’s made by EA
It's published by EA. There's always the hope that they learn what people like and stop doing the lousy things, which they have done in a handful of different things, but then when they don't, you just shop elsewhere.
Can't seem tot buy it without paying for the EA subscription shite on Xbox so I'll wait.
My partner and I have played 4 hours so far. It is definitely a good game, feels smooth platforming wise. Also isn't 'easy' (casual gamer standards) since it has a lot of different types of gameplay that they throw at you and makes you think on your feet. For instance, my partner (who is a gamer, but only for certain genres) had trouble with flying/driving in some sections.
So far a 5/5 game. I did come across some bugs, but nothing annoying or game breaking. Just funny 'hiccups' like sticking to objects that can be fixed by just button mashing or something.
Well deserved. I’ve been watching friends play it on Twitch, and they’re having a blast
This is exactly the kind of game I love to watch others stream, but I know I wouldn't get through the tutorial.
Nah it's not that kind of game. I'm currently playing with my partner and she isn't the biggest gamer and so far she's only had a little difficulty at certain parts. These games are designed very well to be able to cater to those with lots experience.
You have no idea how short my attention span is lol
Oh sorry i thought you were meaning to imply it'd be too difficult; I see now.
Does anyone know if the writing is any better than It Takes Two? My gf and I loved the gameplay in that game but the writing was just awful.
It’s not.
I’m still pretty early on but the dialogue is awful, and the two main characters are authors whose best ideas for novels amount to trolls and cyber ninjas. Not exactly unique or inspiring books guys. (Maybe this is some sort of point or satire I haven’t hit yet but I doubt it)
At least, like It Takes Two, the gameplay is reasonably enjoyable, particularly if you’re playing with someone who doesn’t play games a lot. It’s flashy in that Uncharted sort of way that will make them go “whoa cool”.
It has perfect review scores so it must be way better than ITT, which, I agree, ended horribly, as if maybe they were rushed or out of budget by the end or something. I look forward to SF way more.
I don't know if it's amazing writing, but I was cringing less often with this one than i was with 'it takes two'
I can’t compare, since I’ve never seen or played ITT, but the dialogue in Split Fiction feels natural.
ITT's ending was extremely disappointing and some of the writing felt artificial or plot-forced, like not how the characters would behave based on how their values were developed earlier. It doesn't seem like SF has this problem.
Hazelnut has a lot of potential and their previous games are absolutely awesome. Cannot wait to grab Split Fiction anytime soon.
Not the kind of game I enjoy playing very often, but it's been great watching streamers try it out. It just looks fun.
I tried the friend pass in demo with MKB + controller, it looks awesome so I didn't go far because I don't want to spoil me anything.
My partner and I will definitely be getting it, but for now we're deep into Wilds.
