Interesting. I imagine this "beach" thing is related to the apocalypse that hapenned?Why is there WW1 soldiers fighting you in the game? How is that explained in-setting?
Very roughly, there's background lore regarding how each person has their own personal "Beach" which is some sort of place between the living and the dead and their soul passes through there after they die. But there's a person who is a dead combat veteran and whose soul is unable to pass to the great beyond due to reasons explained in-game, and his personal beach takes the shape of past battlefields. During the course of the game you visit WWI, WWII and Vietnam while dealing with this person.
It’s basically a cross between The Postman, *12 Monkeys, Stalker, and Silent Hill.I started playing this today after finding out it was actually a part of my PS Plus Extra subscription. Got to chapter 2. This game is on the same wavelength as Werner Herzog and La Jetee/ 12 Monkeys.
The walking simulator in alien environments devoid of human life to Wagnerian music is the Werner Herzog aspect. Also, Werner has often stated that he always viewed his documentaries as sci fi and he's always wanted to make a sci fi movie.It’s basically a cross between The Postman, *12 Monkeys, Stalker, and Silent Hill.I started playing this today after finding out it was actually a part of my PS Plus Extra subscription.

*specifically the future stuff and time travel bits of 12 Monkeys
Werner Herzog is a German film director, screenwriter, author, actor, and opera director, regarded as a pioneer of New German Cinema. His films often feature ambitious protagonists with impossible dreams, people with unique talents in obscure fields, or individuals in conflict with nature.
Herzog has said that our civilization is "starving for new images"; in a 1982 interview with Roger Ebert, he explained that "We do not have adequate images for our kind of civilization...We are surrounded by images that are worn out, and I believe that unless we discover new images, we will die out." He has said it is his mission to help us discover new images: "I am trying to make something that has not been made before."
It reminds me of weird ass computer games of the late 80's/ early 90's like Balance of Power or Glider. Also SimCity and some of the weirder Sim games.Why do you have to give points for originality? You know I make original fecal matter every day.
The setting and action is what makes the game work. If nothing else, this is probably the best sci fi video game since... Star Control 2 or SMAC.Yeah, I'm very curious about the game but seeing "Kojima" in it makes me hesitate. Every "plot" I've seen from this guy is cringe level fanfic, from Policenauts being a Terminator rip-off to Metal Gear nonsensic plots. I mean, I like his gameplays - I enjoyed MGS 3 and 5 - but seeing as this one "gameplay" seem pretty simplistic, I think I will wait when this gets free on some sale or PS plus service or something.
Because when you have played computer games for almost 40 years you don't see new concepts every day; concepts that entertain me longer than your shit.Why do you have to give points for originality? You know I make original fecal matter every day.

Yes, visual art, (certainly not any other form of art as the story and gameplay are shit) meaning you can watch this on youtube and not feel like you've missed out on anything. You can even hold a controller in your hands, push the left stick forward and you'll be hard pressed to figure out who's really playing.But is it Art?
60 hours? What the hell.Finished this after 60 hours. This is so bad!
Those are rookie numbers. I put 140 hours in it and that was before the Director's Cut content came out. I have to go back to it to do the additional missions.60 hours? What the hell.Finished this after 60 hours. This is so bad!
I know great RPGs that can be finished in half that time.
