Older gamers remember such experiences with great fondness but without nostalgia…

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
Of course Christopher would submit this lol.
PS fanboys like Christopher for years: “OMG visuals!”
Xbox releases a game with better visuals than any Sony game: “visuals don’t matter!”
Not better than any Sony games. Hellblade 2 visuals aren't really impressive and anything we haven't seen. Plus everything else about the game is shit. Wouldn't be different if it was multiplatform.
You sound like you have first-hand experience with playing the game. Also, I have to ask, what games have already been released are graphically superior to Hellblade 2?
Also, let me know what game on PS5 has graphics comparable or is even better than Hellblade 2?
The hate that this game has garnered is getting ridiculous at this point. Most of it is from people who haven't even booted up the game. These developers spent years of their time making the game but just because it is exclusive to Xbox, almost the entire gaming community is going out of their way to discourage people from even trying the game. Stop worshipping these pieces of plastic.
You mist be late to the party.
Christopher submits most VideoGamer articles... because N4G is owned by VideoGamer...
Nevermind alt...
And 100% of those articles just happen to be negative Xbox and positive PlayStation 😂😂
Remember when we had 1 approved article for PS layoffs and 100 approved duplicate articles for Xbox layoffs?
😂😂
Yeah, waste of time arguing with them. Always that one alt to ruin the fun. :P
Anyway, graphics can still blow us away, but I'm not blown away by Hellblade either as I play. While the game does have industry-leading moments, it's not a complete shutout. Look at textures up close, for example. Or the water.
@obcurednewaccount: “Of course Christopher would submit this lol.”
You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon 🤦🏿🤣
The graphics in the industry are getting less shocking than 10-15 years ago but now and then we get games that look great like like this new game from ninja theory.

This person "MyDrip" is more likely the person you say it really is. One thing that stands out in "MyDrip" reply to you is that they always start their replies with what you wrote in your initial comment. They love to repeat what you wrote, again it's probably exactly who you say it is.
Elda - yes, I am obscure observer!
I’m buddies on discord with Chris and cl1983 so I won’t get banned 😇
@1Victor
Some of you guys can be really gullible at times. Smdh.
You´re doing nothing but wasting your precious time replying to some random troll.
Nothing to see here in the above comment but another alt account splooging over a glorified photo mode.
PS fans love a good photo mode though, no?
Or did that goalpost move now that an Xbox game looks better?
Imo Stellar Blade looks way better than the bland & drab Hellblade 2 & the gameplay in Stellar Blade is top notch, immensely fun than Hellblade 2. Hellblade 2 can't even do 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.
Of course a PS fanboy would say that though.
And SB is made for weebs who jack it in their parents basement
''Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.''
Not to mention it's a 60fps game and on top of that a big open world with lots of things going all at once. ;)

Oh god, that 5fps water, was it made in MS Paint?
My eyes are bleeding piss now, thanks!
@MyDrip The pot calling the kettle black. You're clearly an XB fangirl. Praising a boring game that looks drab & bland when it comes to colors nor can the game that is mostly just walking can't even run at 4k/60fps on the XBSX...lol! That's pitiful & pathetic.
It’s 0k0fps on PlayStation 😂😂.
Its unfortunate the PS studios don’t develop games anymore
I personally don't like photo mode in any games. Don't use it, don't need it. This turd game used all 12 tErAFlOps of the Series X for each on-rail diorama scene with no substance and still cant do 60fps. I've seen older games look better on PC. Meanwhile your Xbox is hotter than your mom's bed.
The upcoming Cronela's Mansion will launch on Switch, NES, Game Boy and SNES, with the latter now set to receive physical cartridges.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
YES! Colecovision was my start! I came to know Mario there in Donkey Kong before the NES was even a thing. :)
Yes such fond memories. My first was the odyssey, but I really started gaming on my colecovision. Had atari and intelivision but coleco was by far the best of the bunch to me.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
Console wars are fun. It's fun to be a fanboy too. I don't get what's wrong with any of this as entertainment.
Young kid school yard banter was fun. 30-40+ year olds still doing it is just disturbing. Many my age (50+) grew out of that a long time ago. We may still have our preferences, but we also embrace a more central position because there is a lot to enjoy on a wide range of genres and systems.
You'll understand one day and then things will forever change.
@Darth
Yes, I'd like to think 'we' take a central position most of the time, at work, at the grocery, mundane interactions in the world, with our health habits, and so on. Sure, reaching the Aristotelian middle is a great thing, but so is having a few hobbies in which we don't have to be this way, and as long as there's transparency, which is key, they can be considered a category of 'socially acceptable' fun not completely limited to age. Of course, there are extreme circumstances, but to blanket the whole idea of fun with only extreme cases and age is a bit juvenile.
Also, as I've been doing this living thing, I've found that age isn't a necessary perquisite for wisdom, though, it does affect taste.
@Shin
Mario pulled me in, but Mega Man hooked me. We even used to LARP it. Good 'ol days.
The only thing back then was that the game would still appear on competing platforms.
Remember the Coleco Vision could play Atari2600 games via an Expansion modude.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
Ahh you're making me all nostalgic! Not old enough to have played these on original hardware but my first console was a bootleg console from Costco that had a bunch of intellivision and atari games. Then had a lot of fun with intellivision and atari collections on ps1 and 2.
Snafu was one of my favourite games and me and my partner still occasionally play it to this day
Kids today would never stand for pixelated graphics. That's why they play Minecraft /s
Only a few younger gamers like the retro style.
...Metroid can't crawl was a joke but one that was not too far away from the reality.
