Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice lies about permadeath to more effectively evoke mental illness

Hellblade's permadeath is a lie, but it's a lie that puts the player through the same tense paranoid as the game's protagonist.

And obviously with all the articles about it spoiling it, the effect is ruined! Can't journalism have integrity for once?!

MegamanXXX2806d ago

I agree but still a great game though

GameCrateEd2806d ago

So you think having "integrity" in this case would involve purposely not informing the public about an important aspect of a game? That doesn't sound like what people normally want and expect from journalists.

stupidusername2806d ago

Yes! Important aspects of games doesn't necessarily have to be spoiled and written about. if not knowing about the said aslect is intended by the developer it should be kept hidden. Just like how you don't spoil major plot points of a story even though they are important aspects of the game.

GameCrateEd2805d ago

@stupidusername Journalists colluding with developers and publishers to withhold information about products for sale (which is what games are) is not what we should expect. I understand wanting to avoid spoilers, but that's on the reader/consumer.

GrubsterBeater2806d ago

This game was incredible.

If anyone has yet to play it, and is thinking about it, then you definitely should. You also NEED to play this game with noise-cancelling headphones on to fully experience this game.

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.

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!

Skuletor368d ago

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

PassNextquestion368d ago

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

Skuletor367d ago

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

PassNextquestion368d ago (Edited 368d 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

DivineHand125367d 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?

PassNextquestion367d ago

Maybe they didn't want to compromise on the graphics

DarXyde367d 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.

RedDeadLB367d 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.
