You're probably not going to get too much out of a gameplay video, really... the best part of the game is the thrill of exploring the land while constantly being on edge because it's so easy to get killed, and death actually is a considerable setback. The combat isn't really too much to look at, it's all about analyzing your enemies and figuring out how to exploit their behavior and the terrain with your weapon of choice, choosing exactly when and how to dodge, block, and attack. Definitely not going to be mashing buttons.Dr Lecter wrote:I tried looking at a few gameplay videos because the allure of a really difficult game attracts me, but the top hits on YouTube seem really bland.
Does anyone have a game play video they'd recommend? The reviews I've read sound so interesting, but the videos look boring as fuck.
I'd recommend avoiding spoiling the game at all by looking up information/walkthroughs and the like, you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of it that way. Explore all of the various mechanics and such on your own and don't just try to figure out what "builds" and weapons are considered the most effective, there is a lot of content in the game.
That being said, here's some basic blind gameplay from near the start of the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBIZ9dqju30&t=20m42s (can't embed due to timestamp)
