That's literally like pressing a .45 ACP gun at my skull and yelling that they are going to shoot if I even think about buying this shit.
>an amazing game loved by everyone
The first game is fucking awful, the retards who wanted a sequel got one, and it plays much the same.
>>340649957
the sequel is garbage
Mirror's Edge and Assassin's Creed are on opposite sides of the video game spectrum, where one side is about simple quality gameplay with no fluff, and the other side is about game quantity and open worlds and stuff like that.
The sequel forced it towards the middle, where fans of the old game didn't like all the stuff that was added/changed, and fans of the other side still don't care.
>>340649957
>Mirror's Edge
>loved by everyone

Stop trying to rewrite history
>>340649957
Why would you limit player movement by putting in an unlock progression system while making a more open world?
Is it actually doing poorly in sales? It seems like people were super excited about it. Did they advertise it at all? I don't think I saw a single advertisement for the game leading up to release.
I Didn't know this game was out. Was there a single ad for this game?
1.Not a pcuck culture game
2.Fuck off with the livestreaming cancer it doesn't anything and you know it
First game was just a cult hit kinda
>>340649957
It's not Mirror's Edge. Mirror's Edge was a collection of tightly created single levels that are fun to do time trials in, flawed by the inclusion of fights that are not fun when guns are in play, and pointless when they aren't. Instead of giving us pure time trial goodness like that dlc for the original, Catalyst fell for the open world meme making most of the game running around to get where you're going and not as well laid out time trials due to them having to work in an open world. While they took out guns, they left in the regular combat making it pointless instead of pointless and not fun.
Crack when? I loved Mirror's Edge 1 but I'm very apprehensive of this.

What were they thinking?

It tried to be new which I can respect but the combat is shit, the style of white on white was terrible, some map layouts were confusing and controls were unresponsive at times.
>>340649957
The only truth in your post was nobody giving a fuck.
I have no idea how to interpret the absolute dead silence surrounding this games release.
Is it just.. neither good nor bad enough for anyone to want to talk about it?

>forced tutorial section instead of like ME1 where you can skip it and have entire moveset from start
I remember getting the demo on xbox and knowing EXACTLY what kind of game it was and i played the demo like 1500 times and enjoyed it so much.
This game i was frustrated at the tutorial section.

Who the hell was surprised by this. The only surprise related to Mirror's Edge is that EA was involved in the first one and it was a unique new experience that hadn't been EA'd to fuckery.
As soon as they announced a sequel, we all knew what'd happen. Anyone who didn't see this coming isn't just blind, they have a total inability to perceive the world around them with any sensory apparatus.
>>340650463
said no one ever
>>340649957
Anita was hired to consult on the game and she made them tone down everything from how she looked to feminine to the gameplay, story, characters.
So of course all the faults with the game are those things she consulted over.
about to start first game, key was sniped on v
>>340653436
I heard wrong then. Could have sworn there was talk of having to use guns again.

>>340653867
>I'm simply surprised that EA even considered making a sequel of a game that didn't perform to their draconian expectations.
I think they realised that they had an unusual hit on their hands; it wasn't a massively popular game that made billions, but it was unique, they wouldn't be competing against anyone else really and it was fairly well received, which is unusual for EA really, so they gave it a shot.
Also I'm willing to bet that one of the higher ups with a little bit more sense than the others has been badgering them for ages to put some trust into the idea of building up some new IPs instead of churning out normal shit, but then they threw all their EA-ness on it and so ME2 and Fuse both are shit and they'll use this to justify future decisions.
It's really bizarre in a way. EA keeps fucking up their own shit, literally the entire world knows it, sees what they're doing, and constantly talks about it, and yet they never learn. They'll fuck over the team that worked on ME2 because the game wasn't a massive success, and they won't try it again, and they'll blame absolutely everyone else for it rather than admit that their own management decisions are demonstrably damaging the brands they're trying to promote.
>>340649957

Jesus you fucking faggots, nobody in this thread even played the sequel.
It's literally Mirrors Edge plus. Everything is the same. Hell, it is even better in terms of traversing mechanics, you get new moves and gadgets to play with. The first one was pretty shit already, but the second one at least tries to improve it a bit.
>Main missions occur in tightly designed spaces, rarely in the open world.
>The upgrade system is pointless more than anything, most stuff on it is unlocked when you start the game, you can only unlock extra stuff (you still have the "roll", but if you unlock it you don't lose speed)
>open world is also kinda pointless, but you can luckily fast travel around pretty soon... some people might enjoy the time trials and collecting shit, I didn't

>actual combat does happen sometime and while it's not QTE or something and actually has light/heavy punch and evade, it's annoying and breaks the flow
>AI is incredibly stupid and can't even follow you on a small ledge
>>340654347
plus it was the only game with a female protagonist they had so they had to shill that regardless how it preformed
Can we expect "sexist" as a blame for ME2 being a flop?
Because it sure as hell it will be the main tag in clickbait articles.
Speaking as someone who actually played and completed the game, it's good.
Unlike anything out there when it comes to it's gameplay. It's like first person games can only either be shooty bang bangs or walking simulators nowadays. This game is good and something different despite the shitty story.
One of the few games to give me a small sense of vertigo with it's sense of height.
>enter thread
>it's a shitflinging war between people who hate Mirror's Edge 1 and feel the need to express it and ME:C shills defending a 4/10 game
>yeah no thanks op see you around
Since nobody on /v/ has actually played the game and can't seem to stop talking about games they haven't played..
I bought it and these are myunbiased, objectivethoughts.
PROS :
Runs buttery smooth even on Hyper (Ultra) on a GTX 760. Pretty well optimized.
Open world is really cool, it gives the game a sense of a world you explore instead of jumping from mission to mission.
Whole game is just straight up eye porn, to say it's jaw-droppingly beautiful is to be a massive understatement.
CONS :
Story is a bit short and not too interesting, like after 5-6 hours I'm 50% done. Seems so incredibly generic and follows every single trope to ever exist.
Not sure how deeply Anita's involvement was in the story but the female characters are simply atrociously ass and terribly written. It's very evident the writers were amateurs or tumblr tier feminists and attempted to create strong, independent female types but instead just make them incredibly hostile, antagonistic, argumentative, and stubborn. Basically any time a woman in the game opens her mouth you know she's just going to bitch, insult, or argue. The writers' idea of strong females are girls who attack everyone and everything and try to one-up everyone.
More in next post
Never make a sequel to a game that has a small vocal fan base. I can't believe they thought this was a good idea.
>>340654953
Some more thoughts -
Forced combat sections are fucking garbage. Those far range dudes that zap you and take 30 hits to die are utter bullshit and frustrating to fight.
Upgrade system was literally useless and had no point in being in the game. It does not hinder you in the slightest since you get upgrades so fast anyway.
Somehow in a prequel there's Metal Gear Solid levels of biometric registration to prevent Faith from using guns she finds...but in the sequel, years later, she can use guns she finds?
Exploration is amazing, most of the time spent is just wandering looking at all the awesome visuals.
Movement is much more fluid than in the original.
Not sure why you get a hookshot in this but not the chronological sequel..
Soundtrack is GOAT tier.
All in all it's a solid game I'm enjoying outside of the shitty females and forced combat.
Verdict - 8/10

Even if you turn off runner's vision the game tells you where to go every step of the way and ruins figuring it out yourself with the black footprints on walls
That completely knocked off 2/3 points for me.

Am I the only one who thinks Catalyst looks ugly?
Whenever I see the original in an image thread, it looks absolutely gorgeous. The original has (aside from the characters), aged like wine.
>>340658831
catalyst is basically DUDE REFLECTIONS LMAO, because mirror's edge, get it
>>340652919
Prequel.
Oh my god, this stuff really confuses people huh?
>It's a flop, why?
I don't know. You tell me.
>>340658667
I would have answer if you weren't a trip.
It's a 7/10 game. Highly flawed, but with some rare moments of brilliance. The story is absolute trash, but it was in the first game too. All the characters are either completely unlikeable or just boring. Plastic is the only one with a modicum of personality, but she's just the stereotypical awkward hacker.
The open world is unnecessary and ill conceived. There's not much to do in the open world except time trials and the like, which are meh. The game shines the most during story missions, which are tightly designed, and feel about as good as the original. There's also some nice puzzle rooms, but there's only like 4-5.
The controls and free running is not at all casualized. Yes you have to unlock a couple of the abilities from the original, namely landing roll, leg tuck, and worst of all quick turn, but you can get them all within the first hour of the game.
The combat's not great, but maybe a little better than the original. The shield you get from having good flow and running around is a nice addition though.
Just pirate it and try the game if you're on the fence, it's really not the shitfest people seem to think it is. It's about as good as the original.
>>340658428
Yeah unfortunately it fucking sucks.
>>340653565
Well, I don't know about DICE's record but EA, the great devourer, will force developers to implement stupid changes, then blame the developers when the game bombs.
>>340658996
I think the reflections and gloss destroys what made the original so beautiful.
The original was more based in the preset with it's architecture, looking like it was inspired by Hiroshima. It based it's style on the exaggerated color bleeding which gave it a beautiful look.
Catalyst has color bleeding in real time, something the original did not have due to technological limitations, but it's not exaggerated and gets overshadowed by the gloss and reflections because Catalyst's style is based on the 'city of glass'.
Also the entire universe seem more like something from an Orwell novel than a dystopic present world.
>>340649957
Well I preordered it and the answers to your question came to me in my first minutes of gameplay.
The game was stripped of everything that made the first one so great.
Absolutely everything you could think of has been casualized.
>little to no need of momentum for anything
>some fights are forced

Surprise surprise. Most of the 'fans' of ME never actually sunk hundreds of hours into it throughout the years playing/speedrunning it.
For literally everyone that did (including not only myself but people like Phillotrax and ovendonkey), the game is excellent. And instead of defending the game on an image board, we're busy playing it.
Ironically ME got shit on when it was first released, and it was the speedrunning community that got a lot of people interested. Same deal here. After we get some good speedrunning content floating around the community in the next couple of months, people are gonna claim they loved Catalyst from the beginning.

It's not 100% what i wanted. I wanted open world but with less story interruption and no unlock tree. Take away the forced combat sections and it's actually pretty damn fun. I could do without the bloom as well.

This is literally what people wanted though. It's just the Over-saturation of open world made people sick of it and the long time in between games made them forget that they asked for this. Also I'm glad guns are gone.
>>340669473
There are self-contained runs in the open world map that are essentially level like.
So not only do you have levels, but you also have an open map that you're free do run any way you wish.
You also obviously don't know who the runner is. He's a pretty big deal.
>>340669713

I don't see how what I saw in the video couldn't have been done in a non-open-world game.

What is there to do while free roaming? (Legit question, I haven't played the game.)
The number, variety and quality of activities and "things happening" while free roaming are the difference between a good and a bad open world design.

Mirror's Edge is a time attack game, he's saying you can use all of the map on point to point time attacks with no restrictions.

hshs i fucking knew it right from the jump
the first scene in that game I looked at the models and knew someone went "no, these asses are too offensive, tone it down"
>>340673398
So nothing that couldn't be done with big, regular levels, then?
I know what you're thinking, "but if the levels are big then it's open world", or something to that effect. And you're wrong. Open world means that you can roam freely in between missions. And in good open world design, things are happening in the world around you, with or without you being involved, in a way that makes the world feel alive (i.e. GTA series, STALKER series, Far Cry series). In bad open world design, the world feels dead, artificial (i.e. Burnout Paradise, Crackdown).
Does Mirror's Edge Catalyst's world feel alive, or dead and artificial?
Answering that question with also tell you whether the open world aspect of the game is superfluous and detrimental.

>So nothing that couldn't be done with big, regular levels, then?
Not really. Think about it. Big, regular levels would need a start and end point. A large playground however requires no such thing. You can't freeroam in large linear levels.
One of my favorite things to do right now is go from one end of the map to the other as quickly as possible. That's the biggest reason why I think this open map works.
>Does Mirror's Edge Catalyst's world feel alive, or dead and artificial?
It feels the same as Mirror's Edge.
>>340654665
>open world is also kinda pointless, but you can luckily fast travel around pretty soon... some people might enjoy the time trials and collecting shit, I didn't
Nope, the open world is rear to traverse and run thru.
Only time I use fast travel is when I want to retry a time trial.
Aside from that I run like a runner is suppose to do
>>340654871
>completed the game, it's good.
The game is never compete, anon.
Hit those leader boards and go for top 5% or higher.
>the top 3% on time trial in the second area when you get ability to disable fans
>>340675846
What is your point?
>>340676796
I can't wait for the community to decide on longer runs like any% story or the like. Maybe a 'complete all dashes with 3 stars as quickly as possible'? Lots of possibilities.
>RPG elements
>the point of the first game was to give you a basic review of the abilities, the goal is to be the craziest possible by learning how to chain them seamlessy
>it allows each player to take a slightly different route, making the experience a bit different
they removed the point of the game, it means it's just "you start point A, go to B, also you see this route on the side? you'll use it later"
I lost interest around the time there was a rumour that anita sarkeesian was involved. EA can go fuck themself.
>>340676585
>It feels the same as Mirror's Edge.
So basically no point in having free roam.
Good job, they made a potentially good sequel into shit because MUH OPEN WORLD.
>>340666921
My brotha lol
I just come here to laugh at these losers and to defend the game every so often just to get some tears flowing from these
Autist.
It's pathetic how idiots pretend they were fans of the original when they don't even know why it had a cult following in The first place.
>hurr faith is ugly now
> hurr story is bad
>hurr open world
Pathetic neckbeards
Once I finish unlocking the last of the moves and upgrades I'm jumping straight time trials and custome trials and getting dem leader board top scores.
Hope they give us some good dlc maps just like they did with the first game.
That dlc was so comfy and relaxing.
>>340649957
>What happened /v/ ?
>Unlikable characters & story.
>Muddy textures.
>Uneven combat.
Other than that, it was okay. It has fun combat and the user-made races are cool.
>>340668760
I'm glad this game didn't give you the option of following a players ghost cause that ruins the thrill of discovery and getting better.
Wish these people wouldnt post the fastest route to time trials.
>>340666921
>>340678405
>from these Autist.
That's pretty ironic considering you don't have to play a game on autistic levels to be a fan of it or like it.
I only played through ME 3 times and have 25ish hours and consider myself a fan of it and am disappointed in this shitty sequel.
I only played through Mario 64 twice and consider myself a fan of it and like it. I don't have to be as into it as the guy in this video to be a fan of the game. It's called not being autistic.

>>340669021
It's almost all the same team who made the first one you jackass.
I didn't even know it was out because it got 0 advertising as far as I know.
to be honest I don't really care about mirror's edge anymore.
Parkour isnt popular now. It was big and thats when sequel should have came. But they waited and now not even normies care about parkour.
>>340649957
>Cult hit that was enjoyable and I did infact enjoy finally gets a casualized sequel 8 years later
>No demo, denuvo, casual'd down to get higher sales
I wonder why
Because EA looked at people praising the fucking parkour and disliked the combat and said "LET'S FUCKING ADD WORTHLESS SKILL TREES TO MAKE PARKOUR LESS OF A FOCUS AND MORE OF A FOCUS ON COMBAT AND LET'S ALSO MAKE IT A ONE BUTTON SYSTEM BECAUSE ANITA CAN'T GET GUD OR JUST PLAY ON PC LIKE A NON RETARD"
>>340679406
What's the point of replaying Mirror's Edge and not trying to run the courses faster than before? It's like playing a racing game and enjoying coming in last every race.
>>340672189
It's about 16 if you go for all trials and collectables.
>>340672747
>Legit question, I haven't played the game.)
Lol and yet here you are giving your expert fuckig opinion.
Fuck off and get the fuck out you scrub
>>340679619
>casual'd down to get higher sales
Worked out well I see.
>>340656498
You really expect me to believe that girl who runs, rolls, climbs, etc from rooftops is going to have such a flat ass? For fucks sake this is just ignoring common sense because they think an athletic looking butt is sexualizing her or some shit. If they really were pro-woman, wouldn't they want to make her look fit and capable and make us admire the female body? Sure some guys might start unzipping their dicks but at the very least it'll make sense for her to have a nice ass.
>>340680167
>unzipping their dicks
Implying it's not a compliment for women.
>>340679406
>You're autistic for playing a racing game for a lot of hours
>>340679862
Let me guess, you were kid in the group of kids playing local Halo multiplayer that would rage hard at everyone else and get mad if you came in last place. All the while tryharding the whole time and having no fun while doing it.
I bet you're fun at parties, having autism must suck.
>>340679878
>Lol and yet here you are giving your expert fuckig opinion.
I know it will sound like science fiction to you and retards like you, but people like me who have played and thought about thousands of different games from many different genres over multiple decades can actually have an expert opinion on games they haven't even played.
There are these things in the universe called "patterns", which living creatures use in their brain to form "thoughts" and "theories". People who have good enough genetics, and therefore a good enough brain (i.e. me) can actually form pretty advanced theories about the world around them, and use them to form accurate predictions.
>>340679406
Shush up autist
>>340680728
>something that was never said
>>340680167
No you fucking misogynist it's wrong to make a woman attractive. Us tumblr feminists can't stand seeing a woman that a man would find attractive because it's an inaccurate representation of our healthy, curvy bodies and our non-barbie looks
>>340656498
>>340680167
she has literally no ass fucking lmao
I don't know about unit sale but with twitch number it got overshadowed by dead by daylight.
people actually liked the first running simulator that was 4 hours long, wut, they didnt need a second running simulator because they play minecraft all day
>>340680835
Lol this fucking guy
Just end your bitter life already
>>340680821
>Being good at something or wanting to be good at something or enjoying being good at something means you have autism
Why do so many people think this? Losing isn't the end of the fucking world, but winning is always more fun.
>>340649957
>Long awaited
By whom? Shit like Dying Light had already scratched that Mirror's Edge itch long before the sequel decided to slouch out to zero fanfare.
>>340680821
found the loser who came in last because he was jelly of the tryhard
>>340680167
Fuck off you misogyny spewing loser.
The game is in 3rd person so you wouldn't be able to jerk off the her anyway.
The moment they viewed it as a product. Mirror's Edge was a sleeper hit and EA finally decided to capitalize on it. Of course, since EA is a big corporation that only cares about the money the sequel had to be watered down and have as many popular gameplay elements slapped into it. Instead of giving the player all their abilities at the start they had to lock it off in an rpg progression. Instead of having tight level design with constantly changing themes, they made it open world and while there are a few pretty spots most of it is too similar. Instead of unique encounters with enemies to test the player, they had to dumb the combat down because the prospect of random battles anywhere could easily put a player in a disadvantage and/or make some moves useless.
At least they got Solar Fields to do the music again, and that shit's fantastic
>>340681594
You sound like you can't even parse the words I am saying to you.
Didn't know amoebae could post on 4chan.
>>340654665
>No momentum or feeling of speed
Literally the thing that ruins it for me
>inb4 shilling 4 free
I hope guys that you understand that as soon as you understand the gameplay you must shut off the runner vision.
That game is awesome, they improved gameplay and fight. They remove guns. I didn't regret ME, and I won't regret ME2.
I love the open world. With no runner vision you have to know the city to find your way, it's painful but when you know the city, you start to become a runner.
Thank you EA and Dice.
>>340685024
Game's mediocre even with runner vision off.
Though honestly, I can't tell if this is a shillpost or not, consolefags are notorious for shilling for free.
>>340683914
But that's not true. It's a bit floaty for obvious reasons cause most of the shit faith does is impossible but the game does have momentum and the feeling of speed if you can keep up your pace
>>340685679
>consolefags are notorious for shilling for free
Yes. I shill for free. ME2 is awesome on my PS4.
>>340650573

Thank god I can just bum the game off of my brother's account.
Faith is beautiful.
>>340685679

PC hating games, what a surprise.
>>340686430
Mediocre as well, she actually looked better in the original.
Her sister was qtier though.
>>340686532
Yea, surprise surprise, PCfags have higher standards than LCD consolefags.
>>340686430
>resting bitch face: the character

>>340686781
She's also got a bit of a manjaw for an Asian woman.
Maybe he doesn't like to be observed,
>>340686840
she's half Asian
>>340687871
I don't speak surrendermonkey, can someone translate this?
>>340652693
Faith literally can't use guns in this game.
>>340649957
>sequel
its a remake.
Literally never seen or heard of any group of people who hates games more than /v/ so I'm not really surprised with this thread.
>>340685024
how long does it take to finish the game?
>>340688373
No interest, the only fun part is thqt he will never paint.
>>340688743
Dunno. I have played 5 hours, and I'm at 20% of the story. But I do all the side quests.
>>340688743
If you rush through all the main story quests, maybe 4-5 hours.
If you only do the side missions/main missions and none of the deliveries or whatever, maybe 7 hours.
If you do all the missions and none of the dashes or whatever, probably 10-12 hours.
Overall, it's meh, I'm not impressed.
Also, fucking hell is the story bad.
>>340688743
I've sunk about 15 hours in and I'm at 70%, doing sidequests and stuff. Billboard and gridnode hacks are the best, wish there was more of them instead of deliveries.
Game makes me want to learn parkour, too. I learned how to do a wall climb after playing the first ME and chickened out on learning anything more.
>>340688909
>>340689295
>>340689309
Thanks anons.
I went to look up the price- a full fucking $60? There's no way its worth that price. I was expecting somewhere from $40-$50.
>>340649957
SJW happened.
"social justice".
Not. Even. Once.
>>340689495
Parkour is the vaping of outdoor exercise. Neck yourself.
>>340649957
open world as the meme dictates

a jillion dollars
im surprised anyone cares tibbity h
You let some stupid cunt help to redesign the main heroine.
Good luck with those sales tho ;)

>open world as the meme dictates
what did he mean by this?
>>340690065
only difference between the two games' faiths is clothing
>>340690252
And her attitude
And the characters around her
And her face
In fact, a lot about her has been changed.
Granted, she didn't have much of a personality in the first game either, but at least there were less annoying fucktards in the first.
Also less retarded names like Plastic.
>>340666921
Oh yes can't wait until speedrunners discover more ways to glitch through the scenery that'll make this game a fucking masterpiece
>>340690606
There's no kick-glitch in this game but one time I did get stuck between in a corner between a wall and some bags of trash
>>340654347
It's mostly working out for them, though. They try to distill every IP they have into simple formulaic shit that they can churn out in a steady rhythm and make a constant stream of money with very little risk. The only thing they sometimes fail at is acquisitions, mostly because the IPs they get their hands on turn out to not be as easy to distill. But even then, from their perspective it's probably just a numbers game. They can afford all the fuck ups, because when they get it right, they'll have a new money printer on their hands.
>>340649957
No black main characters. I hope I can play as a black person in ME3
i'll wait till this is on orgin access. £4 seems about right.
I really don't know what to think about this game
I want to love it but it fights me
I got it onPS4and
>the texture pop in is literally unbearable, you can be looking at something for upwards of 10-20 seconds and it'll still be loading
>the tolerances on how close you need to be to a wall to wallrun is ten different kinds of fucked up
>the story is absolute trash, but I did like the ending where basically nothing changed except Faith's sister became the head of krugersec, it felt like what would actually happen
>the missions are really good looking and are generally enjoyable, but they lack freedom in some areas
>the enemy design is absolutely lovely, I can't say enough about how good the stun troopers look
>the fact that things like fucking rolling or turning 180 quickly are locked behind a skill tree is fucking awful
>the fact that more than half of the skills are unlocked to begin with makes it seem like a shoehorned thing
>the music is great but it has a tendency to just up and turn off or start playing the wrong dynamic parts, like starting the more intense fighting music when you're just sitting around
>I worry about speedrunning since I didn't see a dedicated speedrun mode and the game doesn't let you just up and skip the tutorial like the first ME
>combat feels nice and generally works, the dash move likes to focus on enemies which while letting you sidestep easier can make it hard to run away
the level design feels kind of unintuitive, but I'm a retard and it might grow on me with time
>the setpieces look amazing, and the last couple of areas, the purple and pink ones, look absolutely gorgeous and make me want to live there
>they added a time trial nodding to ovendonkey which is lovely
>they even thank the speedrunning community in the credits
somebody please validate or shit on my opinions
oh, and whatever this technique is that makes flat textures look textured isn't used at all in the PS4 version
