obsolete_power Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 So I waited the long time for that 1.8GB demo to download only to finally play it and realize that it is just another boring FPS! The demo was also very short and yes, it does have some amazing graphics but the plot is mediocre. Will not be wasting $70 on that crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got the whole plot from a 5 minute demo that is old code? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Have you considered applying for a job as reviewer for Gamespot :laugh: Could you elaborate on why It's so terrible, being short and another FPS are hardly valid points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted May 9, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted May 9, 2008 I actually thought the graphics were only ok, not amazing - Guess watching all the recent KZ2 stuff doesn't help :laugh: It was an ok ride for me, doesn't hit me as an instant AAA title, but the amount that will no doubt be packed in (4 player co-op online and offline, ect), will probably give us a solid title. The guys brought us timesplitters which was good, so I expect this to deliver above par, but not exceed expectations. I'd say a Metacritic average of around 8, that's my guess anyway prior to seeing the final build reviewed.

obsolete_power Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am just tired of all the FPS that come out all being pretty much the same thing. Either FPS is a dying breed because it's been exhausted or developers just try too hard to be different. Anyways, what makes this game so special? You move around with your buddies and you shoot guys that come at you in the jungle or wherever the setting is. Then you inject some NECTAR into your veins to give you more of a boost and also makes the baddies glow so you can easily spot them. But....Oh no! I've injected too much NECTAR into my veins and now I am OD'ing on it and going crazy shooting up the place. I'm sorry but.....NECTAR???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It really wasn't worth the six hours it took me to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-KJ Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I just want them to hurry up and finish developing that game so they can focus on TimeSplitters. That's where it's at. Especially with friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted May 9, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2008 i wasnt all that impressed by the graphics. although i did have my contacts out last night... i'll try it again this weekend. the demo was alright, but i didnt like having to use Nectar all the time. just another average demo for me... not really worth 1.6xGB either.

I'm not sure of the tone of that post so I'm not going to respond directly to it incase I get the wrong 'tone'. I know the speed for downloading isn't as fast as XBL, but then you pay for XBL. I'm quite happy to take slightly slower downloads if I get the online service for free. To the poster who had to wait for 6 hours, are you using wireless?

Ayepecks Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wireless/hard cable shouldn't affect the speed that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wireless/hard cable shouldn't affect the speed that much. It does in the case of the PS3. It appears that some of the wifi cards are not up to speed. I've spoken to Sony about it and they told me that they are working on a firmware for PS3's with slow wifi. Not sure when/if its due out. The way around it is to use a wireless bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dc'1 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I thought the demo was quite good. Don't know why it was so large for such a small map though lol. I've had the game pre-ordered since before Xmas... I'm not canceling now lol. Though, I wish there was the choice to stay with Mantel or change to the rebels, maybe by how you played in the game... I love the nectar, can't see death lol.

Ji@nBing Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Most of the Podcasts I listen to (IGN ones, 1UP, ect...) have been saying it's at best mediocre for months. I certainly didn't care when it was canceled for 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonatanFX Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Still give it a go. Dont trust one persons opinion So True. People have such wide spread opinions. Only trust your own.

(Spork) Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 instead of downloading 1.8 gigs you could have did a quick google search to fined out it was just another FPS but hey thx for the heads up on the game ill save my cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerhomie Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wow, it even got cancelled for the 360? Didn't know that. Never really payed attention to it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popisdead uk Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wow, it even got cancelled for the 360? Didn't know that. Never really payed attention to it anyways. So because Free Radical wanted to make a PS3 game that wouldn't feature on the 360 it automatically makes it bad? The logic shown on these forums is shocking at times.
