General Games Discussion

I downloaded the demo, at my son's request, and it's pretty awesome. It's like a Ghost in the Shell FPS. I think it's coming out toward the end of this month and I might get it. If I can stop playing Saints Row long enough...

[EvilsergE]

Too much fps.

I'll stay clear of fps games for a while.

[RPD]

That's kinda what I was thinking when my son said something about me downloading it. It's kinda different from COD and Battlefield.. moves different...

[EvilsergE]

I played the demo. All fps seem so generic. But, I mean, there isn't much anyone can do to a fps anymore.

[westpark]

I am but I'm gonna wait a few months till the price comes down & just buy it used.

Agreed, but I like the the movement in this one. If you've moving much at all the guns have sway. More games should do that...

Buying it used won't be a problem, like playing it online, since there's gonna be no activation code...

[Greatest_Caution]

I'll just rent the game if it's available on RedBox. Trailers for the game seemed pretty awesome, but the controls felt awkward.

ya there is, lots.... fps has actually been completely dumbed down from where they where in the late 90's.

Played like any other FPS to me. The gun sway was a nice addition...

[RPD]

Got is this morning. Pretty good so far...

[Figure09]

Nah. It doesn't appeal to me that much.

[YoAsianPeopleHateMe]

I got it for PC, it's pretty boss. And runs well on even on laptop with 512 dedicated video memory. (Quad core 1.5ghz 4 gig ram)

It plays boss, but I also got the 1993 game too, so I'm interested in the story anyway.

Haven't tried multiplayer yet.

[DoseOfLaughter]

I might, based on this video: http://youtu.be/zuzh5gZJWeU

[crapshot2]

that guy sounds like the dude who does jazz on my local npr station

[SwimOdin]

I'm waiting until it hits...syndication.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA OH HAHAHHAHAHAHHAAH eh...eheh...

[RPD]

I got it on 360. It has a freezing issue when you're in party chat but there's none in game chat. Go figure...

[RPD]

+1

[punkyplatypus]

....i played the original, and will probably get this one out of nostalgia .....when the price drops at least ....

....i have too many games to be thinking about getting more :\......but it does look cool <_<...

[RPD]

Squad Heal is just about worthless. I can heal the rest of the team, by myself, better and faster than that thing does...

[distorted_reasoning]

never played the original but it always seemed pretty interesting to me. this one doesnt do much for me.

[MasterEv]

I'll prolly get it

[capt_taco]

Nah, although this reminded me I should dig up the original, because that game was just tits.

It pisses me off that they're remaking everything from the 1990s into a FPS now.

X-Com UFO defense, still one of the best turn-based action/strategy games of all time - I know, let's make it into a crappy FPS.

Syndicate, one fo the best third-person action games of its time - I know, let's make it into a crappy FPS.

I think pretty soon we'll have a Civilization FPS, The Sims FPS, Minecraft FPS, Madden FPS, Tropico FPS, Katamari FPS ...
