Do you guys feel this was worth the $60?

No. Not enough for the player to do. More like cut scenes with some button presses.

Do you guys feel this was worth the $60?

It depends on how many times you want to play through it and if you care about all the different outcomes. For me I hardly ever play a game twice. Let alone 6 or more. So for me no. However, I still enjoyed the story.

I haven't gotten it yet. Only played the demo. I've been on the cusp of buying it many times, and plan on getting it..maybe?


Should I just wait and get it cheaper used? The demo was alright, different but in a good way. I was getting it got the experience and the story, not for the gameplay obviously, because it's light in that aspect. But now users are saying that the story is cliche and uninspiring?

 

[THX-182]

Rent it or get it cheap used. Don't pay more than $40.

I finished it once and am finding it's a chore to play through for the other trophies. A cool idea, and the first play through was a blast, but replaying the game is like watching a movie right after you finished watching it.

Rent it first.

I just bought this, only played for 1/2 hour but its different from the usual games I play. Pretty cool so far.

I just finished it. It was certainly fun the first time through. I'm not sure at what price I would purchase it, but it's just not the type of game you'd pay $60 for. It's definitely going to go on clearance soon with the type of word of mouth it's getting.

It's a fun direction to take a video game, but ultimately it's not fun enough to be a video game or enjoyable enough to be a movie.

2 more notes:

1) That article picking apart the plot holes is lame. They did the same thing with Modern Warfare 2. You can pick apart the plot of anything. People nitpick The Dark Knight.

2) The killer's reveal is not good

Spoiler

Scott killing Manfred was extremely poorly handled. Scott killed someone while you were in control of the character, it breaks the whole mechanic of the game. They didn't give you control of Ethan during one of his blackouts, so why have Scott do something that you couldn't control, while you were in control of him??

Completely agree with you. You can pick apart any game if you really want to.

The reveal was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for something a bit better, but I guess this was the only logical way to do it. Even though the article was spot on with most of the lame plotholes, I really liked how the overall pacing of the story went from the midpoint to the end.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

just finished the game.
WOW!
what an awsome ride that was.
We need more games like this one.

what part is the girl gonna start walking around naked ?

 

[LChinoz]

She doesn't. You can take a shower as her though.

I am about 3/4 done with this game and it is one of my favorites in a while. I really wanted a story-fueled game and this one takes the cake. Not much replay value though.

 

[theshape6]

Spoiler

she gets it on with ethan in the motel

[Starkiller]

Just picked this up since it's a greatest hits now. I'm super excited to begin playing it. I've only heard good things, the demo was pretty good as well...time to embark on this journey....

 

[THX-182]

Don't read this:

Spoiler

Scott Shelby is the Origami Killer

 

[Ash Housewares]

And what a cheap cop out it was

 

[hairlesswookiee]

It would've been too cliche if

Spoiler

Special Agent Jayden. I thought it was alright, but yes it was pretty obvious from the start that the killer was going to be one of the main characters.

 

[plasmid303]

And what a cheap cop out it was

I don't think it was a cop out. The game is pretty good at misdirection. I think the ultimate reveal was just poorly handled.
