Okay, I just had to put down my controller and write down my feelings here. I just feel this game isn’t something normal human beings living in this day and age are capable of producing. It seems like a product that was developed by extraterrestrials as a first contact attempt. I don’t game much, but as a new player playing this game blind and approximately 40 hours in, I am just in complete awe of the game design from top to bottom. I don’t even know where to start or how to phrase this post, but for most people in this subreddit, you probably know what I mean. I have lost count of the times where my jaw just dropped mouthing “what the fuh…” or my eyes just stared in utter amazement at my screen (this game is just pure dopamine on my 80 inch TV on PS5). The landscape designs, enemy designs, lore, NPC voices, names of items, the music, the sound, what have you. Nothing is better than the other. Everything is just top tier and there is clearly no skimping on delivering an almost ethereal experience. On top of this, the game performs incredibly well and there’s basically no loading screens unless you die and respawn. The only negative thing about this game is that I won’t be able to play another, ever, without expecting this level of quality.
A game like GTA V being released, remastered and milked to the bone so many times seems like a crime. If FromSoftware did the same (even though they would never cheapen their brand like that), I’m sure none of us would complain.
Anyway, back to playing I go…
