lostmario Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 A simple poll to find out how many people on this forum, plan on buying The Conduit.
Grazza Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 To be honest, no. It looks too violent/realistic for me.
david.dakota Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I'm really, really excited for it, yeah. As long as it lives up to promises and gets some good reviews, its an essential purchase for me.
D_prOdigy Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Ask a mod to make this a proper poll. EDIT: You did, good.
lostmario Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 I didn't think I had, I was just a bit slow with the options. The thread appeared while I was still doing the options.
Guest Captain Falcon Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Right now, I'm not particularly hyped for the game, though to be fair, I've not exactly been following it that closely. But I think there is a good chance I'll end up getting it if the reviews are good enough. I don't play many FPS at all and the last one I sunk any real time into didn't feel that rewarding - it was Half-Life 2 and it's expansions in the The Orange Box. Everyone was telling me it's great, and whilst Episode 2 was great in parts, I failed to see what made it so special overall. It maybe down to the artistic freedom afforded by the licence, but no FPS has really got me sucked in like the Jedi Knight games for single player experience - these games had some unbelievable levels. In terms of multiplayer, Rare's N64 efforts and FRD's Timesplitters 2 were all great thanks to a good pace that let if flow but never felt over hectic. I look at the videos for this, and it reminds me of a lot of PC shooters. It looks to be lacking some personality - it all seems a bit sterile. I really hope I'm proved wrong though.
darksnowman Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I don't know what to pick! Out of the slew of "hardcore" games that have been released on the Wii, this is the one I'm most likely to get... I just haven't decided when. While I really enjoy/ed Red Steel, I've not been into FPS games since the N64. Indecisive at this point!
Sméagol Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Not gonna pre-order, usually don't actially, unless it's a nice CE (I did with Bioshock and Fallout 3), but I'll do my usual thing of going the day before the official releasedate, asking if they happen to have them already (and up for sale). Big games like this one usually come in early.
Daft Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I only rent games now. It's on my list. If I didn't I'd probably do the thing where I say I'll buy it when the price goes down, but then kind of forget about it.

Daft Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Don't you occasionally support the devs? Yeah, it's a strange idea renting, I've only been doing it for about 5 months. The reason I do it is that I just don't have that much money at the moment with university fees, living and SquEx not having anything for me at the moment. The last game I bought was KillZone 2. That was because the multiplayer would keep me coming back. Before that was Fallout 3, which I still haven't got round to finishing and Fable II which I thought was absolute rubbish. Actually, just remembered, I bought Saints Row II which was amazing. I do buy games now and then still. I tend to buy games I really want to get involved in. The only definite game I am getting 100% this year is Heavy Rain. I also buy a lot of games off the Playstation Store. £5 every other week here and there is pretty decent. It comes down to money in the end. Games are too expensive. The Conduit just looks like the usual alien shooter affair, though. It's got nothing to offer me in terms of online and the single player probably wont take that long to complete.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Probably not straight away. Owning a 360 I pretty much get my standard FPS experiences from that and with me not being a fan of the Wiis online setup its multiplayer mode would probably not get used by me at all.
Ganepark32 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I've always maintained a positive attitude and position in relation to this title so I'll be getting it on release day because as I see it, it's probably THE biggest Wii title this year, as far as we know. The only problem I see with its release is that it will come out in the Summer when I will not be playing a single thing and possibly moving. But I'll still buy it even if it just sits on the shelf because I know I will play it and play it to death.
welsh_gamer Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Release date for me. Pre-ordered it with Play ages ago, so see you guys online on launch.
Ashley Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Yeah release date. It was fun and I'd imagine it will get much more fun in multiplayer. Plus you know, support the "hardcore" and all that.
Kav Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 My most anticipated announced title... day one purchase for me!
Pete Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Hell yeah, unless it turns out to be bad but I doubt it.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Hells yeah I will! I would make a pre-order of my pre-order for this game if that was possible.
