Troll Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Why wasn't this game absolutely massive? I'd never heard of it until I found these posts: Control A few hours into this now and I think it's absolutely brilliant Remedy are absolute masters of cerebral storytelling, I'm totally engrossed in this world already The stylistic flourishes such as the musical cues and sudden title-screen drop when you enter a new area are awesome The combat feels intense, forcing you to constantly improvise and wreak absolute throughout the environments. On a separate note, I'm very excited to play the Alan Wake expansion, as the way they've gone about detailing this 'universe' is absolute genius so far Control. Really liking it so far. Combat is pretty cool and feels smooth. Not sure what's going on mind. This is really bloody good. Anyone else played it? I'm on the 7th main mission right now. First single player I've been hooked on for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I played it for a while, longer than 90% of games I play anyway. Enjoyed it, mechanics are great. The unsettling theme of it is pretty much the main reason I don't go into it, I'm a bit of a Mike like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Since Sekiro wasn't discounted for Black Friday, I've been considering getting this. Got a few GOTY awards last year, so must have something about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This game keeps surprising me. The Ashtray Maze sequence towards the end is one of the best levels I've ever played in a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This game keeps surprising me. The Ashtray Maze sequence towards the end is one of the best levels I've ever played in a game. That segment is absolutely class like, acts as a crescendo for the whole game. Remedy's talent for weaving licensed music into storytelling is immense. Also have you done any of the side-quests? Some of them are awesome The altered fridge that you can't look away from with the guard begging someone to send relief Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The anchor boss fight was a bastard when you're underlevelled. Had a couple of tantrums after nearly beating it and getting blasted be a flying octopus coming out of a blind spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I've made about 5 posts on the game, people must have missed it But yeah it's fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of tantrums after nearly beating it and getting blasted be a flying octopus coming out of a blind spot. Anchor is a tricky fight because of the holes he leaves in the floor MOLD-1 is the hardest fight by miles though, I had to complete the game before I could defeat it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Coming to game pass in a few days. Any good? Just seen it pop up on there. Definitely worth playing. Especially on PC. Want to play it again once I get a current gen console, the frames on the Xbox One were disgusting pretty often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The boss battle on the AWE expansion. Sweet game though, bit infuriating at times but it does incredibly well at making you feel like a total badass after a few upgrades. EDIT: 1 ability point for that fight.

POOT 2.0 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 £14 on CDKeys, and, it's on the Steam platform if you choose the Ultimate version (Steam still have it at £35). https://www.cdkeys.com/control-ultimate-edition-pc-steam?__currency=gbp&gclid=CjwKCAiAouD_BRBIEiwALhJH6GS7asrNOXoRi2uvluOA7uiSY5_tgjDoTeQuhfQE1uUaTZfzH9E4cxoCQB0QAvD_BwE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often find myself wondering if it's actually this I played given how solidly bang average it seemed to me vs. how much folk love it, but I'm sure it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
