Anyone else play this? I know it got good reviews but seems to have been lost in the shuffle. I was going to wait until a big price drop but now there is no need since K-mart has it for $35 this week.

Heard it was a mix between Bioshock and Half Life. Im still on the edge of buying it.

I heard the same. It looks like a really cool game and too hard to pass up for $35. Especially for a game that just came out a few weeks ago.

I heard a cast that said it was too easy and unfinished. Like they had great ideas with the cool powers but there was never situations where you needed to use them effectively. They said it was a $30-35 game. Would be a waste of time for me.

Wjich one was that because I'm listening to the latest Giant Bombcast and Gerstman said he's very impressed with it. Him and Ryan Davis usually rip games to shreds.

ill wait for a price drop at BB since thats where i have giftcards, it could be a while i know. But on the bright side i hadnt even heard of the game until Twigg mentioned it the other d ay so its not like im missing out on something i waited a long time for. I might even just rent the thing. i watched the review on gametrailers and thought it looked pretty damn good.

Do you have a Kmart anywhere near the Best Buy? If so you could price match.

I think my wife is going to play it before me. I'm trying to play Call of Juarez:BiB now. She loves the Bioshock games so this game should be right up her alley.

I'm also listening to the latest CAGcast now. I've only listened to Wombat's impressions so far but he is impressed as well. He said the first hour or so is slow but once you get the TMD it's awesome.

I loved the game but I can agree with it maybe being a little rushed.. Either that or they were wanting to keep you wanting more for a sequel.. You'll know what I mean after you finish it..

This power/ability is nuts...

this game is fantastic. not sure why or how this got by everyone. it has the same control setup as COD. its got all kinds of great guns. its creepy as fuck and alot of fun to play.

a different spin on FPS with the powers. but at its core is a great FPS with a pretty cool story...and did i mention its creepy as fuck?

 

[Buzzman]

how far are you into it Maynard?

 

[tigstah]

i just received this from amazon....will give it a run thru

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....

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.

 

[Twigg4075]

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

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