This week in the comments
Launch week brought 438 collected comments, and the mood is split: players calling it GOTY on one side, combat fatigue on the other. Review videos drive most of the talk, with Prototype and Infamous comparisons everywhere.
Verdict splits: masterpiece or chore
~12% of the week's comments come from players who finished the game: some talk top 5 or GOTY, others cite repetition and boredom after ~8 hours. Praise outnumbers criticism, but the criticism is more detailed.
Prototype and Infamous keep coming up
~8% of the week's comments name Prototype, sometimes Infamous or DMC. Commenters say the review brought it up, and several say that is why they bought. Others read it as a lack of originality.
Melee vs gunplay, still unsettled
~10% of the week's comments: players missing gunplay and Jesse, calling combat button mashing, against those who find the melee works. Critics have a slight edge.
Spongy enemies: a patch, and doubts
~4% of the week's comments return to overly tanky enemies. According to commenters, the day-one patch lowered their health and difficulty settings let you tune it. Some remain put off.
My Favorite Game: the song that sells
~8% of the week's comments talk about The Cardigans' song, often tied to the Gran Turismo 2 intro. Several say they bought or tried the game because of it; a minority finds it grating.
Top reactions and controversies
'Remedy deserves to succeed'
Dominant takeThe community's main engine: trust in the studio, loyalty preorders, calls to buy to keep it alive. Many say it is their only preorder or a day-one buy made before any review.
Physical discs: 'No disc, no buy'
ControversySince the July video, many comments use the game as a stage to attack Sony over the announced end of discs in 2028. The game is often spared; a few call the debate hypocritical or misdirected.
Melee vs gunplay: Control's pivot
ControversyThe shift from shooting to melee, and from Jesse to Dylan, divides people. Some see a rare, parry-free freshness; others miss the first game's gunplay and telekinesis.
Performance, upscaling and blurry image
Dominant takeOn technical videos, many comments worry about shimmering, frame drops in the first boss fight and reliance on upscaling, even on very high-end GPUs.
Dr. Darling and the Remedy lore
Dominant takeEvery appearance of Darling and first-game characters sparks waves of enthusiasm. The community feeds on the lore, the Alan Wake links and fan theories.
Merch: anger over prices
ControversyAfter the August trailer, a handful of fans were outraged by clothing prices they called absurd, and by the collection's partner. Others found the idea fun.
