Touche!
I think reviewers do this because of the "war" genre within the FPS mode. But, you are absolutely right! This game has a different feel (more like a military simulator). After playing on-line and some of the bonus missions. I decided to play the campaign on "HARDCORE." Do you know what's amazing to me? This game makes you strategize and think through your decisions. Codemasters are correct when they say they want to put "fear" back int...
Everybody has the right to their opinion. If you are riding the fence on buying this game - RENT IT! In my opinion this game is fantastic (not perfect). Their is really no other game like this (at least on consoles). The closest competitor is CoDMW2. I just watched a video of CoDMW2 where they have enemy soldiers with "super" armor, which makes them more difficult to kill. GIVE ME A BREAK!
Oh well! To each, his own...
Got it yesterday. This game is solid! I admit the learning curve is a bit steep; but well worth it in the long run. The "fear" of bullets brings this FPS into a category all its own. All these years I would depend on my shield to re-charge or the red fog to remove from the screen; now I'm looking for cover and trying my best to protect my medic.
If gamers would take their time with this game, I guarantee it will be well worth it. If not, CoDMW2 will be out next mon...
I don't get it, why do most reviews try to explain how this game is not like other shooters? Are gamers that stupid that they can't figure this out on their own? We are not trying to convince Daddy to buy Johnny a new game. This game IS WHAT IT IS! What is wrong with that?
I guess my biggest beef are the comments about the "color" of the game. Have any of these people been outside the city limits lately? When I was in the military I rarely saw beautiful orchids an...
@ Bathyj - I think our patience will be tried while playing this game. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully it will encourage the player to think through the objective and try, try again. I'm going to give the "hardcore" mode a go. If it makes me miserably frustrated, then I will lessen the pain on a milder mode. :LOL:
See you on the field!
I enjoy the COD franchise, but this game is a different beast in many ways. Just a suggestion - DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU DROP YOUR COIN ON THIS GAME!
Why expect something that it never claims to be. It is a military simulator, plain and simple...
If you ask any current military soldier or veteran, they will tell you which game is the most realistic. If that interests you - then get it!
I have been waiting a long time to play this game. I will pick it up later today. I love the idea that you have to plan before you execute. Bullets actually become something to be concerned about. :LOL: See you in the field. :)
I know Sony has a superior product, I just don't think they have put into this console war as much as MS.
Tone Marley - You nailed it! I've been reading articles on this site for a long time. And it amazes me how awful people are towards one another. You would think that gamers would connect with each other instead of ripping one another apart. I understand disagreements, but bashing one another is toxic as hell. Oh well, game on!!!
I am getting both Forza 3 and GT5. They both look fantastic. Since October is closer, my focus is on FORZA atm...
More bang for the buck (or credit).
Every video I see about this game makes me want it that much more. Hurry up October!
Did you notice the lighting effects in the DiRT 2 video? I am looking forward to both of these games. September is not too far away.
Question: Is littlebigplanet still scheduled for release in early October?
I cannot wait to play this game. I've been showing my wife some trailers, but she is still not convinced of the magnitude of creativity within this game. I am...
BRING IT ON!
Looking forward to more stuff from "Q"
I just downloaded the demo for PixelJunk Monsters, and was so impressed I purchased the full game (rare for me). I cannot figure out why I enjoy it so much (very addictive). If Eden comes close to Monsters in addictive game play then I am in...
Don't forget Fallout 3.
The fall is going to be a great time for gamers :)
SUP3R,
Thanks for the article. I am looking forward to this game. The creative aspect is going to be truly amazing!
It is scheduled to realese about the same time as Fallout 3. Yikes! I better start saving my coin. :lol:
Am I missing something, or can you NOT get into the "prone position" in this game?
I love to snipe and in BF:MC I enjoyed the sniper's edge. Although this game is fun, I miss my "one shot, one kill" opportunities...
It's just a game! What's with all the negativity. Let those who buy it enjoy it. When your favorite game comes out - then you can enjoy!
I've never seen so much insecurity about which game will be the best. Games are meant to be fun and challenging... If you want realism; take it to the track. Most of you would wet your pants driving at 120 mph!
Let it rest.
