General Games Discussion

[MegaNaraku]

So the game just came out today. I am going to run by gamestop and pick it up after work. I am kinda looking foward to playing this. So here is the discussion thread for it. I hope its really fun. 

[EvilsergE]

Looks good.

Maybe I'll get it.

[JQuest15]

I'll be getting this too, add me on whatever it is you have. I'd be down to play this with you.

Just in time with Walkind Dead ending and all.

Gotta have my Zombie fix :3

[MegaNaraku]

Cool thing. I am really looking foward to palying this game. I wont be at my house until later tonight.

[GiantMegaDoucheX]

Played it today...was not impressed.

There's so many balance issues, AI problems, glitchy mechanics, and I just felt frustrated trying to play it.

I watched a video of some tournament involving this game a while back. It made it look pretty cool...but after playing it I can't believe they thought this was going to be some E-sports worthy shooter.

[HardcoreHunter]

Gameinformer review says it's really bad.

[Diabeetus]

I'm not interested. Call me Dave, but I'm tired of Raccoon City.

6/10 isn't really bad. But the game isn't very good, that's for sure.

Any shooter where it's more worthwhile to melee your opponent to death than use your precious bullets is pretty bad. When I played MP it was quicker to get close, even if you couldn't cloak, and hit people than use your weapons...besides, you needed those bullets for zombies and ammo was sparse...bad bad bad.

The review is much harsher than the score reflects. It's a mixed bag when it comes to games where the bulk of play is in online multi-player. If you get the game later and try to play online it's slow and hardly anyone is ever one especially if the game is as bad as everyone says. I just don't feel like shelling out $60 for a game that I will be done with by the end of the week.

[MegaNaraku]

eh, i dont think its really all that bad

Well, I'll know what not to use my money on.

Know what they need to make? A co-op roleplaying game, with a mission. And everyone can do whatever they want, and the games are really long. And people can leave and join your games freely, but the story continues, is non linear, and everyone is on the same world and you monitor what zones everyone is in.

I think Fable 3 is like that.

[DragonBeardX05]

IGN butchered this game, which hurts my soul.

Bargain bin it is...

I meant something with modern weapons. And also, no its not like that.

[Diabeetus]

What's the difference? A weapon is a weapon. It doesn't change the way the game is played if the weapon is magic, a sword, or gun.

You could have friends join your game so it's kinda like that.

I heard the AI is really stupid. I have nothing against Resident Evil but im saving my 70 bucks for Future Soldier on may 22nd

[HardcoreHunter]

I was going to pick this up for my bday, but now I think I will go with a couple older and cheaper games like Batman or something.

[TheOneTuttle]

How is it?

nvm. rented it. hated it.

[AstroCreep66]

Six out of ten is HORRIBLE. I'm glad I bought battlefield 3 instead.

[HardcoreHunter]

Yeah 6 is slightly above average however the score doesn't reflect the review give.  The review says the game is borderline broken and has almost no replay value. Still these are the people who gave mass effect a 10.

[EvilsergE]

Lol right?

I hate how IGN and gamespot use the rating scale. Basically everything to them above 8 is great and everything below a 7 is terrible.

This game, however, deserves the 4/10 it's garnered. I played it again last night...my friend is really into it for some reason but #### do I find it broken. I called him a nostalgiafag.

Well this one is from Gameinformer. They have been catching a lot of crap for their score system ever since the gave Skyrim and 9.5, but gave Skyward Sword and Mass Effect 3 a Ten however they felt that Skyrim wasn't good enough to be in their perfect 10 club.

Every game they have given a 10 to.

I've noticed that IGN seem to be going lower than a 6 as of late, which is a good thing, as 8 was turning into their new average score.
