dammit stop being such a negative nancy. i was gonna go pick it up today because of all the positive reviews and now i'm torn again.

Seriously. After GTA:IV, Crysis, Brothers in Arms and all that shizzle, it's not worth it. Unless you want to admire lovely sunsets and drive with shitty jeeps 50km getting the shit shot out of you for no reason, then there is no reason to get it.

All reviews on it are so much bullshit.

Yeah, everyone shoots you, everyone.

It's absurd.

And when a lot has to do with what time you do things at, you have to go back to a safe house in order to wait, which gets incredibly annoying.

The stuff they put in to improve immersion gets incredibly annoying, and it's not particularly immersive...

Why does every vehicle in africa have a GPS? aren't they supposed to be poor?

And why are there only 2 types of car?

I'm kinda put off this game by Miggle and Zimmers reviews. Then again I don't think either of them like ANYTHING EVER.

You're probably right about that.

Though I think Zim's pumped for GoW2.

Untrue. I love FIFA09, Insurgency HL2, Team Fortress 2, BF2, Football Manager 2008, Bioshock, Oblivion and I could go on.

I am just a very critical person.

Both Zimmer and Miggle are right, However I love shooting people in the face with my sniper <3 not got old yet.

at least it runs mint at medium on my computer, tempted to try high

the controls are blatantly based on consoles, as many keys have 3 or 4 functions, for example
5: Use map, answer phone,
H: Use Syrette, Heal, (I often use syrettes when I don't want to because I think I'm going to pull a bullet out of my arm)

The buddy system is obnoxious because they are constantly getting themselves killed. You can't go anywhere without having people shoot at you, there's no point in sneaking around because if one person sees you everyone will open fire. The AI has X-Ray vision and constantly shoots you through the wall. Malaria always fucks you up at the worst times (what's the point of giving me a fucking disease?) Nobody ever sleeps, doing things at night only makes your job harder.

The game has a lot of flaws, and not very much going for it. Further proof that it's easier to sell a pretty but shitty game than a good game.

Yahtzee's going to have a lot of fun reviewing this game.

Well after a lot more play the game is definitely growing on me.

I unlocked the barrett + acc. + reliability + ammo at the weapons shop (I play rpgs so I'm used to grinding in games) and it is Can't care less about unlocking the rest of the shit.

I'm making as much use of buses as possible because I hate driving.

I have a clusterton of malaria pills so I won't have to do any more of those stupid missions for ages.

Story sucks but I have never played an fps for the storyline.

Also a tip:
Spoiler (highlight to read):
the first 4 buddies die at the end of act 1 so don't get attached to them or do their longass missions

Barret sniper?

FINALLY got the map editor working...looks like it did install after all.

I <3 propane tanks and generators.



Game is still crashing on me though. But the map editor is fucking

Editor is fun for a little while, but you have nowhere near the precision or control you have with hammer.

The editor is great for people who don't know much about mapping, but it sucks for actual mappers, so the custom maps are probably going to be mostly amateur work...

Who cares? It's fun as hell. And I can't wait to see what people do with it.
