Oh.My.God. This game looks jaw dropping at night. I literally said OMG out loud when I first saw the beautifully lit streets. This game is so pretty I actually want to have sex with it. And to make matters worse, the neon powers are an absolute blast. Sex. They completely change the way you play the game by taking the headshots out of the equation (unless you’re playing evil) and the neon run makes navigating the city probably the most fun thing I’ve done in gaming in years. Be sure to collect blast shards before you get the neon powers because you’re gonna want the power that gets you unlimited neon run right off the bat.
Oh and If you thought the Orbital drop was cool, wait till you guys see the Neon superpower.
The only con I have so far is that the soundtrack was way too subdued during some of the missions. The city itself is fine, but the missions have these oddly chosen soundtracks that dont complement the epic stuff happening on screen. Oh and the missions aren’t all that so far. Mostly go ehre and shoot some people, but the combat is fun enough to keep it from getting boring. I just expected a bit more from the lead game designer of the Halo franchise. He’s definitely nailed the 30 seconds of fun bit, but the epic setpieces from the Halo games (and Infamous 1) are lacking here.
The story has also taken a backseat and like a good open world game, they’ve pretty much left you alone to have fun at your own pace. Deslin is hilarious. He’s a cocky Nathan Drake and has some really funny one liners. But the star of the show are the graphics. I keep getting wowed by the graphics like I did back when Uncharted 2 came out. If this is what launch window games look like on the PS4 then I cant even fathom what 2nd and 3rd gen games will look like. Division is EASILY possible on this system at 1080p. The future is bright my friends and the possibilities are endless. This game has killed the cynical asshole inside me. At least until E3…
