I just finished hellblade 2 and i cannot express how amazing and beautiful the game is. Do NOT listen to the critics, if you loved the first game for its story, you will adore the second.

@MyManJFKTV Ай бұрын

I reeeeeeeeally want this game to succeed to the highest magnitude. I loved the first one, and although I didn’t initially think it needed a sequel, I have faith in Ninja Theory to deliver another great tale.

On the topic of the game not needing a sequel, I really like that theyre taking such a different direction and making it feel so different from the first game. In terms of others being around you, and senua's confidence (even if it continues to be challenged)

I would have sat through this while thing engaged if it was a movie or a documentary. But then I'm remembered it was a game and I was screaming where's the game play... if this was a GoW clone with all the crazy stuff on top.... Banger.. without that good gamey over the top combat its just a... what do they call TLOU again. Ah yes "Sad dad simulator"

Easily the most anticipated game of 2024 for me. The first game was absolutely mind-blowing, and hearing Ronan Harris in the outro haunts me to this very day. Excited to experience a new locale with Iceland, to see additional characters and how they react to Senua's perception of the world.

@DylanF Ай бұрын

I connected with Hellblade on more levels than I'd like. I watched the first game's dev diaries as I was going through my ill mental health recovery from a mental break down. It's nice to think in the same way where I was scared of everything, I couldn't leave the house reliably, worried about surveillance and death, to where I am now where I have a full time job as an IT engineer - a functioning member of society, happy and I'm no longer ruled by worries and fears, so has Senua seemingly has learnt a bit more on how to harness it all and break down her fears. I still hear voices as I'm lying in bed, reading before I turn off the lights but without all those worries which were the debilitating part, in essence like her. Thank you for continuing on this story. Because for those of us who are able to reach out of our darkest moments, life goes on - just like Senua's will.

@hawkstrike18 Ай бұрын

I've seen so many functioning members of society (and just to make that clear, I'm not going to assume everyone is petty and cheap because of most of them), and in reality no one needs to be one (a cog of some sort, instead of a real team's member) to understand their worth, but I get what you're saying. We all need things by which we can get we're on some good path; now, the nature of those things can be very different to one another xD And most ppl aren't very sane at this point (understandable to some extent, but not at all past that). So, we better start being more relaxed when judging others, btw. Well, didn't watch this whole video to fully get this game's direction and story but it seems interesting, at least. In what way exactly, I can't judge yet. Just wanted to reply to that part of your post I guess xD Keep reaching a legit balance and stay as sane as possible, whatever that may mean during such times of weird waves of lunacy and the usual general bad traits of humankind, that most condemn, but usually excuse in themselves.

@hawkstrike18 Ай бұрын

Btw... Serving psychosis etc as a "unique view of the world" seems suspicious to me. Humans are always ready to excuse (only certain parts of) exceptions, and usually unnatural ones if I may say. It's interesting but...

@deepseamortician Ай бұрын

I do not have psychosis but I do have C-PTSD and in the past year alone I have made such profound progress on my mental health journey. I, too, have gone from a victim of my experiences and letting fear stop me to a survivor who is truly living for the first time and seeing the world brighter every day. Knowing now that Senua is on a journey parallel to mine made me tear up watching this. I’ve been a fan since 2017 and through major inspiration by you guys as well as other companies I am hoping to get into the game industry. Thank you, Ninja Theory and everyone who touched this game, for putting such love, care and respect into what you do. It shows in every tiny detail and means the world to those of us who may be misunderstood for any reason beyond our control. I absolutely cannot wait to play and to root for our girl Senua again.

How do you know "FOR SURE" that maybe NT has A way of how "They" want to market "their" game? Do you know that "their" contract is different from others at the company? How do you know "FOR SURE" that this isn't what Ninja Theroy wants? The head of NT said they would not sign if they didn't have freedom's. & that they will not compromise. How do you know "FOR SURE" they don't control their own marketing? Why everyone saying MS/XB doing them wrong...with so much certainty in ya'lls convictions. It's ok to think what you're thinking.

And couldn't get it together with updates 4-6 months apart and a unfinished expansion. Alpha Dog made Mighty Doom which was a flop and Roundhouse is a support studio that just got absorbed into the primary studio they were supporting.

I feel it's important to note - Not ALL psychosis sufferers endure what Senua endures. And can be viewed very differently. Psychosis is complex yet, the individual can live a very positive, flourishing life. So while it's great creating an experience BASED on psychosis. It doesn't inheritently, and accurately portray everything someone would in the real world. This is of course, a virtual environment. It's important not to forget that.
