Shino Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I love playing this, its just so much fun at a basic level, just like Mario Galaxy its awesome when a game can pull you in with just the way it plays, its a great feeling and personally that's how I prefer them. Mission structure and story sucks though, when I tried to described at what point I was in the game to a friend, I couldn't do better than "I can ride tanks now".
Gizmo Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Enjoying this so far! Yes the draw distance is bad, yes the missions are linear, yes the story is shit. However, the feeling of gliding and jumping and sprinting and air dashing around the city is just immense. It's just fun to run aimlessly around, with no destination or direction. There is an issue with precision at times - getting to the top of a building gets difficult if it narrows to a spire - but apart from that its great. And this is all at the start of the game, with a lot of new abilities to be gained. Oh, and this game has the worst water effect I've seen since the N64. When you look at say Bioshock and Prototype together (unfair though the comparison may be) it really is amazing how bad it is.
Daft Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Played this for an hour this morning. It's amazingly unpolished. It's good, not great. I definitely wouldn't buy it.
Mundi Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Which is a bit annoying seeing as this game was delayed a lot....
Daft Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Okay, just did the sixth mission? Military Expenditure: $289.96 million Military Casualties: 174 Civilian Casualties: 1009 Infected Casualties: 164 I am LOVING this game. Edit: Okay, just topped that on the next mission. Edited June 15, 2009 by Daft
Gizmo Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yeah some of the numbers you get are crazy. I think military expenditure for one of my missions was over $2bn.
Shino Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I've reached $7bn, but I've finished the game. Some people have reached way more than that. The game is really addicting, I've gone back to play it several times.
Daft Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 It's kind of a shame because as damn fun as it is, with a bit more effort put (like the city is pretty bland, and the animation and physics could be better) into it it could have been completely awesome. Hopefully if they make a sequel.
Jimbob Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I'm planning on getting this once i've beat a few more titles in my collection. Or when the price comes down a bit, whatever comes first.
Kirkatronics Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Any body want to swap it for one of mine? Its a long shot, but you might want one of me. Fable 2 Blue dragon lego indiana jones/ kunfu panda Mass Effect
dwarf Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Lol Deathjamm found Mass Effect for £1.79 and you want to trade it for a full price game? That's more than a long shot.
Kirkatronics Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Lol Deathjamm found Mass Effect for £1.79 and you want to trade it for a full price game?That's more than a long shot. It worked out at £6.79, and i wasnt neccessarily only offering one.
dwarf Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It worked out at £6.79, and i wasnt neccessarily only offering one. Well read your post again because it sounded like you were offering just one.
dwarf Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 You better word it better next time Warand. Lol why did I sound threatening in that last post?
Kirkatronics Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 You better word it better next time Warand.Lol why did I sound threatening in that last post? I didnt feel threatened XD
dwarf Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 It sounded like it did in my head, a bit harsh no? Anyway enough of the rubbish.
CoolFunkMan Posted June 17, 2009 Author Posted June 17, 2009 I got this today, and I'm really enjoying it.... ....Well, I was up till that mission where you have to defeat those hunters at the military base. It's so bloody anoying, I even ended up breaking my Dual Shock 3 in frustration. Hopefully i'll get past that bit tonight though (using my old, crappy Sixaxis pad. :/)
Solo Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I probably will pick this up on the cheap but after playing through Red Faction Guerilla I am most likely going to be disappointed by the lack of destructible environments.
Gizmo Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Whats with the bloody filter that they put on the game around the time of the Bloodtox thing? It's annoying the hell out of me, and I've done about 3 missions further down the line and still it hasn't gone. Edit: Apparently it's no filter. Searched around expecting other complaints about it and couldn't find any mention of it, and now that I've gone back to my Xbox I'm getting E74. Weird, since the pause menu was clean - it was just the ingame stuff that was "filtered". Edited June 20, 2009 by Gizmo
Emerald Emblem Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I got a refund for the Sims 3 and used the money from that and trading in Mass effect to buy this. Will play it...Later today since it's nearly 3 am.
Daft Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 This is kind of getting a bit dull. It's pretty repetitive. I've done mission 22 of the 31 or so. How's everyone else finding this?
Cube Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Got this yesterday. It's probably the best "free-roaming hero game" I've ever played. It feels a lot like Spider-Man 2....but better. I especially like the fact that there's no consequence for anything and how easy it is to get around.
Happenstance Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I really liked it for a while, the movement going around the city felt very fluid as ive mentioned before. Unfortunately I got a bit bored of the missions feeling very similar then when I got to the boss battle in Time Square I just got annoyed and have played it since.
