[Official] Mirror's Edge

[crazzyyfool]

Yeah - there are some lovely new effects in there thanks to the PhysX engine.. could see them all over the place (shooting flags, plastic effects, etc). It doesn't look quite as 'warm' as the console versions though..

Hmm, only on the PC then. Man, I bought a next-gen console to have next-gen graphics/effects and now the PC is better. Grrr!

[Massiveterra]

okay guys I need some help. I'm stuck somewhere in the last chapter after the elevators, when you crawl down a vent and swing on 2 bars. when I land I have no clue where to go! LOL. Please help.

Also, I finished the Atrium section last night with the scaffolding! It took me forever to figure out where to go. 5 horus of gameplay? yeah right!

Make no mistake - it looks fapping AWESOME on the console still. But the PC will always lead when it comes to having the very best graphics effects simply because the hardware & graphics programming standards are getting refreshed on a much more frequent basis! The Xbox 360 has been out almost 3 years to the day now... and the PC has had that much more time to evolve.

Rented Mirrors edge last nite and to say i'm disappointed is an understatement. I paid ?6 to rent it for a week and i completed on the first nite. Nothin happens its a borin story and once the shine has gone off the first person free running its the same thing over and over again. Its a shame cos i had high hopes for this game ahh wel. Im just happy i didnt buy it that would of been the worst ?30 spent ever

[crazzyyfool]

I think its an awesome game. If you completed it on the first night you're obviously sitting playing it for far too long at any one time. It does however get extremely frustrating at times when you can't find your way through a certain section. I'm stuck on Chapter 4 right now. Ahem!

[Brad.]

I've just started chapter 5. It's pretty good! Some bits are frustrating but you always seem to make your way through the chapter.

[Massiveterra]

Finished it last night. In my top 5 games this year. I don't understand how someone can finish this in one night. The game took me about 8 hours to complete. Some of the puzzles are really tricky, but solving them gave me a great sense of gratitude, kind of similar to solving some of portal's puzzles.

I've got to admit, the story is sub-par, but does open up the possibilities to a good act 1 of a great story arch.

I might go ahead and pick it up now that I've seen good things about it... My budget is somewhat limited, but I need a new game to play.

Although I love the game, I recommend that you rent it, as it will probably take you less than a week to finish (it took me 5 nights of casually playing it about an hour or 2 a night).

If you are all about perfecting speedruns and beating your best times, then this game will probably last a lot longer than that.

i wish there was a gamerenting service nearby from where i live, seems like a perfect game to rent instead of buying. though i really want to play it, i think i'll just wait for the price to come down.

[neoadorable]

yes starting to get the...hang of it finally. agree that it's not really a short game unless you know exactly where to go, some of it is really really annoying. i mean destroy the house in a fit of rage annoying. i stand by my initial comments: too much ambition, not enough polish from a gameplay perspective. but yes, getting through an act is quite satisfying and the presentation simply can't be beat.

[gigapixels Veteran]

I'm loving this game. Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes, and a bit frustrating if you can't seem to get it right a few times in a row, but it's challenging and that's what I like to have in a game.

[DigitalE]

This is one of the best games I have played in a long time.

[Remysaus]

traded it with a friend for battlefield bad company. best trade in a long long time, i'm def. loving this game :D

[chrispinto]

I got Mirrors Edge yesterday, and so far am rather enjoying it

As it goes, i only got a Playstation 3 yesterday as well!

(Singstar 2 takes over my soul)

Does your friend know he's just been done over? :laugh:

Loving this game, just feels so fresh and it makes a nice change to play something different.. just started chapter 6

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

I was so tempted to buy this game today, but ultimately couldn't afford it :( I want to rent this game and just never return it, haha. Looks really good, and from what DirtyLarry told me from his first mission, it's good.

can't wait to play this

[Remysaus]

Does your friend know he's just been done over? :laugh:

he realized that before i gave him battlefield and asked if i could miss saint's row 2, so i agreed to that, wasn't really digging SR2 anyway. :p

[gigapixels Veteran]

I'm on my third run through and I still love it. Not sure if I'm ready to take on hard. The combat is what really kills me.

[Remysaus]

just did a speedrun on the first level, took 5.58 minutes, 2 seconds under the qualifying time, awesome stuff :D

Where the heck is the PC demo, arg!

[Remysaus]

omg, this is so frustrating, i'm trying to do the speedrun on chapter 2 below 11 minutes, i'm doing just fine until jacknife falls down and you have to turn left for an alternative route. the third pipe on the wall is extremely buggy, half the time i jump through it and fall to my death >_< it's so annoying that this is at the end of the level and you have to start all over again, damnit.

[Scirwode]

It will tide me over until the PC version is released :whistle: .
