Why are people comparing Ghostwire and Deathloop?

Games are nothing alike, except being in first person.

Worst game i’ve tried this gen. What a garbage of a game Deathloop was. Dont waste your time on it.

I played some of it on PC, to be honest I thought it was Tango's worst game yet.
It’s no Evil Within 1 but those visuals and atmosphere, man. So fucking fresh compared to what was released this year. It’s much better than the Evil Within 2 in my view.
 
I got it for dirt cheap and still haven't bothered trying it yet. I hear you pretty much need the DualSense for the full experience though . . .

I haven't played Ghostwire but I absolutely adored Evil Within 1 and Evil Within 2. What was wrong with atmosphere in Evil Within 2? It felt very "silent hill" like. I don't think there are enough horror games that are able to capture that vibe imho.

The DualSense features are indeed great in it. Specific weapons make great use of the adaptive triggers.
 
I bet another "greedy, Anticonsumer, shady, violent, arrogant" move from sony. Always trying to screw up baby company MS. Those tyrants.

you need a mouse to have a playable game.

the controller aiming in Deathloop is one of the worst in recent years and make it IMO unplayable on controller.

so it's IMO essential to not play this on any console

Yeah, you miss out on all sorts of things by living in your bubble.

It's like GamePass, only with better games. Deathloop is there officially, while still unconfirmed for GamePass.
My bubble is nice. I get a shit ton of high quality content DAY ONE. Have you checked out Immortality yet or is that only available day one in my bubble? Or what about tinykin? I know you would love that. It's like pikmin, but maybe better. Both available day one on game pass!! You should come in my bubble. It's so nice.

It's not the best aiming, but it's FAR from unplayable. None of my friends who played this had issues finishing the game or enjoying invasions due to the aiming.

having ridiculously low standards isn't a crime, but your friends are guilty as hell.

you won't have issues finishing the game, the ridiculous aim assist will make sure of that.
but the game feels like absolute ass to play on controller.

everything that can be wrong about controller aiming is present here, and often in an extreme way.
1: Axial Deadzones
2: directionally independent aim acceleration
3: acceleration is applied across the entire stick range
4: a weird reaction curve that abruptly changes speed and isnthe opposite of smooth

it's awful to play. I literally stopped playing it on PS5 and downloaded the Steam version which a friend of mine I have in my Family Share thankfully owned.

edit: this is what I'm talking about

and yeah, this should be about accurate

Really wish Xbox would get on gyro controls with all these FPS games coming. I'd actually enjoy them if they had decent controls.

it might get mouse support on Xbox. Microsoft made a whole cloud streaming presentation and talked about mouse support to better help compatibility and playability for PC players using xCloud.

so they might tell Arkane to implement Keyboard and Mouse into this version

Hey, I still liked EW2, a lot!, but the atmosphere and visuals in Ghostwire are a step up from that, even the enemy designs. Just my opinion. Nothing matches the pure grim horror of EW1 though. I thought the lite-open world of EW2 worked against it because it was missing the set pieces from 1.

All that said, Tango can do nothing wrong. Top notch dev.

Idk if Ghostwire is really a game to be compared to Evil Within 2. Ghostwire is shooting for a completely different type of horror atmosphere. Then again, I haven't played it so my opinion prolly doesn't have much value. So I am basing it of trailers. I would of much preferred if they made Evil Within 3 instead of Ghostwire but that's just me.

I think Evil Within is severely underrated.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
It's definitely the first time a lot of people will be playing it for sure, so that's something.

Wondering if the Xbox conversion will have anything extra (wishful thinking).
It will be on GP day one, and

This again? I finished Deathloop close to getting a platinum on PS5. You also keep saying Ghostwire is unplayable. Do you know what an unplayable game is? These are top notch devs that spend years QAing their games for armchair experts saying their games are unplayable.

They’re both highly polished games and unless you’re playing with your feet there’s nothing wrong with playing these on a console. Specially Ghostwire where you can even lock on an enemy and play it like Metroid Prime. How can you fuck up aiming if you’re locking on an enemy.

it's not about hitting the fucking enemy
it's about how the game feels to play ffs.

Deathloop feels like pure shit on controller. it's horrendous. it's literally a collection of all that can be done wrong.

I’ve been playing games my whole life including PC and there’s 0 wrong with these controls. But whatever. You should join these teams and teach them apparently.

most people on here are casual players that don't really give a shit about this, so I expect you to he among those.

the controls are ass, absolutely atrocious. just because your standards are below ground doesn't mean you're right

Again the game is FAR from unplayable.

Not understanding what words mean is okay. There are resources out there to help you.

I’m not even engaging with how casual I am or not and show you my trophy or steam cred. You’re just parroting whatever you’ve heard on DF. Would be nice for you to stop spreading misinformation though.

Also, most people here are casuals? Wow. Amazing.

People who usually blame controls are the ones who end up not being very good at the game or tend to get easily frustrated and refuse to take the time and learn them.

I've never played Deathloop but I never heard anyone complaining about the controls lol. Pretty positive game that consistently higher scores wouldn't be getting them if the controls were that bad.

Arkane makes unplayable games, you never heard that before? It’s why it got game of the year awards across the business. Some people, man.

It was already on sale for $20 a month or 2 after release... I still feel ripped off after paying only $20. Its pretty bad.

Did you know that NOBODY has gotten the platinum trophy for Deathloop? Yeah, it's completely unplayable so...oh wait.


The trophies are a lie!
20% got all the trophies? Pretty amazing for an unplayable game. It’s like a miracle. Someone call the Vatican and canonise all these gamers that must have died from the impossible task.
