This thread can be used to discuss the first portion of the game, up to the point where you receive the 'Awoken' achievement / see the title art appear in-game.
You can feel free to post unmarked spoilers about this portion of the game in this thread.
...So.
I'm not that upset about a certain young lad getting rekt, not gonna lie. I wasn't their biggest fan. I dislike 'child heroes' in general and having a seven year old or whatever constantly get on my nerves in the story wasn't something I was looking forward to. The actual death scene was proper gruesome to listen to, though, they really put the audio to 'grotesque' on that one.
A bit sadder about pops, he seemed cool. Honestly, both of them were really predictable deaths overall for me, they had redshirt vibes for the sake of story.
The gameplay so far... I'm button mashing for sure. It's not exciting stuff thus far. I'm not a massive fan of action games, though. I prefer them at least being more like FFVII: Remake where we get to slow down time for particular menu selections. So far it's been smash square to win.
The dramatic scenes have been cool. I feel like it's not as smooth as it could be, but then this is the first game I've played on the PS5. Might mess around with the camera and stuff later and see if I can find a setting closer to my preference.
Clive's mum seems like she could be an interesting character, hopefully she has more to her than just "be villainy" but we'll find out, I guess, in time!
