Im glad this game doing so well. I just now pick up Hellblade for my Pc!! Short story but what amazing title.

Timesplitter142817d ago (Edited 2817d ago )

I'm definitely gonna pick this up now that I know there's a very serious permadeath threat in the game. It frustrates me to no end to know that this mechanic bothers some people.... it's like saying "I don't want anything interesting ever!"

ContraCode2817d ago

This game has so many unique and different aspects. Love it!

BootHammer2817d ago

Some just want constant checkpoints and to have their hand held. I hope enough gamers appreciate this mechanic though and everything that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice offers from the norm.

PrinterMan2816d ago

I do not like the permadeath idea. I'm not that good at games and would like to finish it. I will be doing steam backups just in case. Please don't say just gif Gud as it is not always possible. I'm 61 and the reflexes aren't quite as sharp as
they once were.

Timesplitter142816d ago (Edited 2816d ago )

Edit: apparently the permadeath is a complete lie that is mentioned at the beginning of the game just to create artificial tension.

Nevermind; not buying this afterall

How does it run on the PC? I'd love to see it maxed out =)

ContraCode2817d ago

I have been so hyped for this game. It's great to see such high scores!

goken2816d ago (Edited 2816d ago )

some of us might be impressed with this game...
but i suspect this game is really uninteresting (sucks) to xb fans. somehow they don't like anything good on other platforms. difference in gaming taste i guess?

Kabaneri2817d ago

This went from not even being on my radar this morning to a must buy.

BootHammer2817d ago

I hope the word spreads and it sells gangbusters =) NT deserve it, they did an amazing job developing something really unique.

Goldby2817d ago

Wellcome Trust alone states that this is a form of therapy to be used with other professional forms (psychologist +medication if needed) for people with Psychosis and PTSD, Depression and Anxiety

S2Killinit2817d ago

Its so much more interesting than I originally thought.

BootHammer2817d ago

It really is one of the more original and unique games as of lately. I love a solid single player experience and NT over delivered on this one. You can tell they were extremely passionate about making this an incredible game. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.

stonecold32817d ago

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Review | What's It Like In 2024?

Admittedly, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is far from perfect and won't be a game for everyone, but now with a multitude of accessibility options it has made itself much more palatable for a wider audience, and with constant sale prices between $2-$4, Hellblade: Senua's Saga is too good to pass up for a unique experience that has stood the test of time and will do so once more with its even more robust and epic sequel.

The only thing epic about this “game” is how longnit took to make.

90sGamingWasBetter221d ago

The Hellblade games looked nice but they were essentially walking simulators with a minimal amount of combat tracked on.

Waiting to see what the "Recommended" spec be like!

Skuletor358d ago

Waiting to see if "Minimum" spec targets 30fps 😂

PassNextquestion357d ago

It's my understanding that the frame rate is unlocked on the pc version

Skuletor357d ago

@PassNextquestion
I've seen Ubisoft have PC specs that have targeted 30fps before.

PassNextquestion357d ago (Edited 357d ago )

Why the heck do you need Windows 11 to run the game? I remember there was a ssd feature locked to windows 11 not sure if that's still the case and if that's the reason.. direct storage I believe it is called

DivineHand125357d ago

If those are the minimum specs on PC then why can't the series x do more than 30 fps? Did they intentionally lock it to 30 fps when higher frame rates are possible?

PassNextquestion357d ago

Maybe they didn't want to compromise on the graphics

DarXyde357d ago

Very probable, but I can't really believe that when literally, the Series S ensures that they do.

I kind of think they just want to make it 30fps now to make an update later to keep people "on the hook" or give game pass subs something to look forward to with this game later on.

Personally, I think this game can push at least 45fps, but that's just my opinion. I don't really see a game this short being announced before TLOU2 launched, only to come out *now* and they haven't gotten those frames up.

RedDeadLB357d ago

Probably because they wanted better fidelity and that is probably too demanding for the XSX to push a stable 60fps on. Judging how most games are these days, the performance difference between low to high is sometimes not enough to target double the framerate. A locked, smooth 30fps i better than an unstable 60, even though it feels like picking between two turds.
