pickled Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I really cant get excited about this game, it doesn't really interest me, i've got the demo d/loaded but can't be arsed,justt don't think its for me now blue dragon however, jrpg ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 yeah i'm still stoked about blue dragon as well despite the reviews (which are slating it because its a turn based rpg, personally i fucking hated ff12 and its "action turnbased" nonsense but thats a rant for another thread) also looking forward to eternal sonata as well. Looks a bit different and quirky. But i still think bioshock will def be the game to have on 360 this year, just because it seems to totally reinvent a stale genre, however if its not a genre your interested in to begin with i imagine it'll be a hard sell.

retroed Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Is it worth it even if I'm not the biggest FPS fan in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I reckon so Ed its kind of like Metroid Prime its from a 1st person point of view but its not really a Shooter its more like the Eldar Scrolls with Guns. This should tide me over till Jericho and Fallout 3 arrive next year. which reminds me FALLOUT 3!!1!!!!1!111!! *DIES* :ohmy: :woohoo: :whistle: :side: :cheer: :S :dry: :pinch: :kiss: :S Playing through the demo I can imagine later on how amazing this game will get. I found it quite chilling when i sat and listened to the little girl collecting adam, from the rafters you can hear her sing nursery ryhmes and talk to herself its major creepy as is the lighting the game is simply sublime as Hendo says Metacritic does not lie. I can't imagine it reaching FEAR type of actual dread and freakyness but its more of a WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT IN THE SHADOWS kind of scary all good though and only 2 days till its out hurrah.

Im not the worlds biggest FPS fan and I really enjoyed the demo and cant wait for the game. Its hard not to get involved in the atmosphere it invokes. The proof is in the playing sir.

Noize Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I played the demo. Looks good. But I was expecting more out of it. Maybe it's because so many people telling it's like the second coming of christ or something... I was expecting... more. What makes this game special is the overall setting, the atmosphere... because otherwise it's a bog standard FPS. Don't get me wrong. IT IS a great game. Probably the best FPS on the market since a while. There's tons of shit worth playing in there. But really, I would play it more to uncover the story, the feel the overall experience, than because it is innovative or revolutionnary, two things that this game isn't. It just doesn't make me rush out to the store to buy it. Although I WILL buy it, eventually. Because I don't think it's worth my 70 quids (no game on its own does). I'll way for the price of the game to drop (could take a while though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 I should be playing this bad boy now. But im Not. Fucking Royal Mail! Gotta wait till tomorrow now Was looking forward to getting home and nailing the brute :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I can't remember the last game that was as hyped as this. Everybody's pumped for it! In fairness I'm quite calm over it, if I get dead excited about it I'll only be disappointed - I'm more excited about having a 360, taking it online and having some internet chums shoot me in the face. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I reckon it will be a great game as Noize said its nothing really new but what it does it does with great style and a terrific story. Because to be fair as a standalone shooter its not very good the controls are optimised far too much towards the 360 and as a shooter its relatively poor but the story and frankly the fucked up shit going on is going to make it a great game.

Phooey Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hehe. I've been reading all these good things about this game & feeling slightly pissed that I haven't got a 360.

Hendo Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I'm now a few hours into the game and I think I can safely say it deserves the accolades it's getting. Firstly, it's not "just a shooter". The RPG style elements really make the game feel truly open to you, to the point where you can focus on just being a badass with a wrench if you want, and fuck off all the other weapons. Comparisons with Metroid Prime spring to mind (also rightly described as not "just a shooter").The path you have to go to progress in the story is fairly linear but you can deviate at any point and back track if you so wish. The shooting element is one big part of the game, but then so is the exploration, the incidental storylines (similar to Prime's but not as dull, as you hear them speak rather than have to read it all), the afore-mentioned RPG elements of gaining new abilities and putting strengths in certain ones, the humour, the horror....oh lord, it's good. My only real gripes with it (and they are teeny, admittedly) is the occasional glitch with a dead body and that the environment is not as destructable as I would've liked, but as I say, these are small fry to what's on offer.
