Seriously... these 1940's soldiers are able to regenerate better than Wolvirene... You can't hit crap with any gun... sniping doesn't kill in one shot... the levels are WAYY too short. (by levels I mean the areas that are considered all in one load...) The thompson got its magazine reduced... The later levels have way too many killzones for the germans. The grenade system is utterly messed up (hit g and you toss a grenade... I've killed myself several times trying to pick somthing up but accidently hit g instead of f) your allied AI can somtimes be stupider than old half life ai (a mission where you've got 3+ machine guns set up and the only way to actually keep all the areas where the germans appear is to keep all three guns shooting... but the ai doesn't even try to use the machine guns...)

 

It looses it's Epic feel that the first game had because it's to broken up to accomodate the console requirements... the game definatly got shortend for that same reason.

 

All in all if feels like it's in the same catagory as Doom3... It looks good at the beginning that most people see but once you get further in to the game it's just the same thing over and over and over... only instead of beasties popping out of nowhere and killing you while you try to get a super duper power up, this time it's a machine gun that's in a house that blocks the ONE WAY to get through to the next area... and of course your guy has to break into the house and kill the gunner and clean out the house.

The regeneration thing put me right off. I think it's pointless having these grand WWII set pieces if your regenerating like some sort of master chief clone. It totally killed the setting for me.

 

Had more fun with Battalion Wars to be honest, although the attitude of the CO's and the way they hit on each other after the mission (the enemy CO's this is) just feels disrespectful to the poor sods who just got killed. I know it's cartoony, but it just feels wrong.

wow... I just realized if you swapped the health systems of Medal of Honor Pacific aussalt and Call of duty 2 you actually find that the games feel like they are supposed to. Medal of honor pacific would feel more like a "one man army" and Call of duty 2 would feel like a team of people.

Call of Duty 2 is more of a cinematic experience than anything else. It gets good reviews because it allows players to partake in something that feels bigger than life. Call of Duty has always been about visuals and memorable scenes, and I didn't think Call of Duty 2 disappointed in that aspect. Personally, I've never liked any of the Call of Duty's because of the jRPG-like gameplay, in that you're forced to follow narrow paths through a seemingly open world and stand around and witness the scripts play out around you.

Jrpg-like?

"Jrpg-like?"

 

Big open world, except there's only one way forward?

Really, instaheal medikits are no better.

Yes, blame your own incompetence on the game!

rebind rebind lol

 

All in all, your complaints are really silly, so I'm just going to conclude that the game just isn't FOR YOU.

*claps*

There are a lot games out not for us nowadays. So there are two possibilities. One, that games are becoming easier and dumbed down. Or we are just becoming better players. By the design of these new games I have to say option one. Yep, dumb down games are not for me. So, when will there be games released that aren't dumb downb for the PC?

 

By default Dumbd Down Games should never score higher than a D+, (6 out of 10, 60% out of 100%, and so forth because they are dumb.

Or maybe some games just aren't for you? For instance, I acknowledge that PES4 does football very well, but I still don't like to play it.

That's right, dumb down games aren't for me. That is what I am saying. I am just wondering when this dumb down phase in game design will stop.

Then why did you play KotOR? I've never seen a more "dumbed-down" rpg system.

 

And how about NWN? Hack 'n slash and still you liked it.

 

Personally, I think you're just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Looks like another sorry victim of the Invisible War syndrome! :ph34r:

That dosnt actually make any sense though unless the 360 is not all that it's cracked upto be.

Because I am a CRPG whore and there was nothing else available.

That is a good point.

 

It just seems to me that you don't really mind the fact that rpgs are becoming simpler. You just like to whine. :D

OMG!? Could it be that the hype was wrong?!

Hype is always wrong. That is the lesson taught with NWN.

True enough.

Edited December 15, 200520 yr by Musopticon?

Its just a vain hope that Obsidian will kick up the quality of CRPGs a notch. KotOR 2 was a disappointment but with any luck NWN 2 will be better and more of a challenge. Of course if they follow the current trends it will be just another disappointing game.

Anywayhey, did someone here like this game?

 

Or is everyone just pissed off because they removed cooking of grenades? :D

CoD 1 was pretty much like Medal of Honor. With Russians. Don't bother.

Always? That's not a whole lot. Cap has been registered for two weeks now.

Cap is an alt of Hilde.
