GameSpot - Operation Flashpoint: Red River features realistic and challenging missions but is often hampered by poor AI and other frustrations.
Green Man Gaming are yet again offering more than just a sale with a breadth of bundles to take your breath away! They released two games bundles featuring Codemasters and Digital Tribes. Also discounted are Thief, Thief : Master Thief Edition, Bioshock Infinite and Murdered Soul Suspect at 75% off.
Some mediocre - crap games there. Couldn't even include any Codemasters racing games? It's the only thing they're good at.
Including the Dirt series in the bundle would have been awesome but i wouldn't say they are crappy games. I liked Overlord 1 & 2 and both Operation Flashpoint are decent FPS the other one are so so for me.
Like I said... crappy to mediocre. I liked Overlord too. Didn't care for Operation Flashpoint. But eve liking Overlord, I have no illusions that it isn't a mediocre game.
Even though it's still technically a good deal, the whole $5 or £4 thing annoys me. Humble bundle doesn't do this. No thanks.
You can pay what you want for Overlord, its Raising Hell DLC, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and Rise of the Argonauts. Paying $6 or more gets you Overlord II, DiRT Showdown, and DiRT 3.
Mobile & Apps: "One of the most underrated shooters of the previous generation was Operating Flashpoint: Red River for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With all its problems, I believe this is a game that is worth playing, however, it is not too hard to see why the game didn't quite kick off, as it should have."
Loved this game, it was dumbed down from Dragon Rising but still an enjoyable game. Was still offputting to people looking for instant/non stop action
Ha! Some colleagues and I are actually planning on hitting this one up tonight. Great game.
I used to be excited for the Operation Flashpoint series...then the actual games came out and all that anticipation was replaced by disappointment after disappointment. Kill the series... make a new IP already.
"However, some players may lack the tactical awareness needed." -Gamespot reviewer
So did this game score low because its too tactical and too challenging?
I've been playing this game myself for the past couple of weeks, and it is challenging (one shot does kill) and it does make you think about about how best to handle each situation,so its very tactical, but imo that's part of the fun with these types of games. I don't think that should be a reason to mark it down.
Also the A.I. really isn't that bad if you compare it with the A.I in many other shooters like Mass Effect or Gears of War. The game as a whole is just less forgiving, so when your guys do make mistakes (happens often in a lot of shooters) you tend to notice it more.
