Singularity

[Maynard]

how far are you into it Maynard?

been playing about 4 -5 hrs total. i am just a bit beyond the 1st time shift portal

yeah I heard it was pretty good but all the guns and powers dont really apply to anything in the game. They say you can pretty much blow through with the main gun....

i suppose you could, but whats the main gun? i usually keep the assault rifle and shotty with me but i also had an area where anything but the sniper rifle would have gotten u killed. So i dont agree with being able to use the same gun all the way thru. even if it were something that reviewer commented on, why would they? i mean in any war themed FPS you tend to have a 1 or 2 select guns that u try and stick while....i know i do

but there is this gun that works like a sniper rifle but allows you to "manipulate time" and make the bullet go in slow motion to allow you to move the bullet while its in the air. its 1 shot i kill and gives a hole new meaning to the phrase BOOM head shot!

the time manipulation device is really cool to use to. i have not really seen a reason for people to complain about how they missed an opportunity with this feature. Only thing i can point to is the times when u use this to shift time is pretty obvious. I would have liked it to be a bit more of a challenge to figure out what/how to shift. But i love its powers when in a battle. its fun as hell to use

I'm a lot farther then you Maynard, I'm going to beat it today. Honestly this feels like Bioshock without the plasmids. The story is really sweet. The TMD is sweet, and I love exploring and listening to the recordings and the random shit on the walls.

[Buzzman]

Just beat it. Fantastic game.

Now that I finished up the second Alan Wake DLC this game will probably be next in my 360.

[Buzzman]

I'll have my review up after this Pats game.

Yeah, it's called The Writer. It was on sale on Live for 200 pts a few weeks ago.

It's the second and last DLC for the game.

i think it plays better than bioshock. the controls are tight and responsive...feels like COD controls. I also love the records, notes and writings on the wall. it all adds to the story and vibe of the game. Its very creepy and has some scare moments and the whole time your thinking about WTF went on here

its pretty challenging too. the fighting is done pretty well. i am at what i would say is the first boss. he is tough and takes some time cause u have to figure out how to beat him cause he changes up his style 3 or 4 times

so this game is worth checking out? just watched a few vids and it looked pretty good.

[Twigg4075]

This game is bad ass. I'm only the part right after you run into the British chick but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Plus, having Nolan North voicing a character is always a plus.:twinkle:

[CrimsonGhost56]

no demo...

[Maynard]

what i am enjoying is the combination of TMD moves you can and must use to kill guys. I like using deadzone to freeze bad guys then throw a barrel of gas at them to blow up or shoot them while they are locked in deadzone

i just came across revert last night. i missed the instruction when it poped up. i think it said tap RB twice quickly....i dont know if i am getting it to work right.

i dont like the lack of a in game control manual. it would be nice to reference this stuff on the fly.

the game is also somewhat unique in that you dont have any level or chapter system in this game. It always moves forward thru the story, but you have no way of know where you are in the game. when u complete one objective you start a new one. I like this because it adds to the uncertainty of what is going on in the story. you dont know where you are or how far you have to go. All you know is there is some creepy stuff going on and you find clues along the way.

Also, the TMD...this is your left hand with the powers....this was done real well imo. all the shit i read said it wasnt and i totally disagree. they gave you this power tool that has some easy to use, easy to control, easy to combo together powers and fun as hell to use device. And combined that with your run of the mill FPS weapons that are also done very well, and also addded some not so run of the mill weapons....like the Rail Gun and the Seeker :D

the seeker is the one where you control the bullet in the air....i only got to use it in one area, but it was a blast to use. The rail gun is something i get to take with me where ever. My new favortite way to kill bad guys is to lock em up in deadzone, shoot them with a rail gun. Then when the deadzone blows up they are hurt and a second later the rail blast blows up making them explode.

on the negative side...i cant find any. other than any in game manual for details on weapons and controls, the only thing some might think is a negitive is there doesnt seem to be any difficulty setting. I cant find one. Some expert FPS players may find the difficulty to be too easy, others may think its too hard. I think i am a above average FPS player. i think the difficulty is just right. Its challenging, and can be overly tough at times, but never to the point where its frustrating. There are times where i have had to run thru an area 4-5 times until i figured out the right strategy.

I have no clue how many hours the game is and i havnt touched online. I cant say if someone should buy it or not without knowing how long the SP is. i gotta think its like 15-20 hours for me based on how long i have played it. It doesnt feel like i am that far into the story so unless it just abruptly ends i think i have a ways to go

i am curious to see how online is. im not paying for gold xbl to find out

I'm at the Reverts part, the blind enemies. I think that's what they are called.
