angshuman Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Gamespot gives it a 7.5. Sounds like a pretty mediocre FPS. Link.
Cantousent Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Hmm, maybe I should look into it. Have you actually played it yourself, angs?

Bokishi Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Plus gamespot also said how Perfect Dark Zero was the must have killer-app and the #1 reason to get a 360 <_< Current 3DMark
Darque Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Plus gamespot also said how Perfect Dark Zero was the must have killer-app and the #1 reason to get a 360 <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You'd trust a paid for opinion?
angshuman Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 Eldar: I tried out the demo for a few minutes... not bad at all, but the game didn't quite suck me in (like the HL games do). Bok: Yeah, I felt Gamespot's Perfect Dark: Zero review was a bit... weird. Greg Kasavin went on and on and on and on and on about how awesome everything about the game was, and all the while it seemed he wasn't quite convinced about it himself. I guess they were under tremendous pressure from M$ since it was a launch title. What do you think of the game?

BicycleOfDeath Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) I'll be getting it because of this: It's not a secret, we've posted that. And don't expect it right at retail exactly. What was said was that the PLAN was to have it available then. That's not an iron clad guarantee. The Windows one ships with the game. The Linux one is still being worked on. Bleh, nevermind. That's for the server. To think it uses the D3 engine and doesn't have a native Linux client... Edited July 13, 2006 by AngryKidJoe Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
Nick_i_am Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Played the demo, was impressed with some of the features, it had a lot of little 'cool' things, both in terms of game mechanics, and in details in the levels/weapons/hostiles, but it didn't once scream 'buy me' in any way that would even remotely make me consider if over Half-life2. I'm not big into FPSs for their own sake, though I can very much appresiate them as 'action games', which is somthing that HL2 delivered very nicely. But Prey, like Sins, is probably great for someone begging for a new FPS fix, it's cirtainly very compitant, but it's still really just for the FPS fans. EDIT: YES I KNOW THAT SAYING THAT AN FPS IS FOR FPS FANS IS MILDLY STUPID, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. RAGE. Edited July 13, 2006 by Nick_i_am (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Fenghuang Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 1UPs review of it made it seem even more puzzle intensive than the Half Lifes rather than all actiony. They were also very impressed and I generally trust their reviews more than most. I'll pick it up after I upgrade. RIP
Cantousent Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I'm considering it. I'll wait until I'm back from vacation.

Bokishi Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 It's very puzzle heavy. The first half is similar to Doom 3/Quake 4, except it has portals and some wall walking. The second half picks up drastically, it's about 4x more fun with the use of gravity and freakin mini moons in contained space. I'm about 3/4 done right now. Current 3DMark
alanschu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) I should try out the demo when I have some time. Is there any sneak previews about DNF? Edited July 13, 2006 by alanschu
LostStraw Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) I'm considering it. I'll wait until I'm back from vacation. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was going to get it, until I heard people talking about how short it is. Multiplayer didn't look very fun to me.. so I'll keep waiting. Edited July 13, 2006 by LostStraw
Bokishi Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Well it took me about 9 hours, and the game was very satisfying. Up there with FEAR and HL2 in terms of innovations IMO. Was it worth waiting 11 years for? Well err.. no, but I doubt any game is. If you stick around after the credits, the game hints of a sequel which I'm guessing we will see by 2017 Good summer game.

alanschu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Fortunately, I wasn't waiting 11 years for the game
Bokishi Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Nor was I, I just heard about the game 2 months ago r00fles I'd imagine some dude who has waited, would be bummed that the game doesn't cook his toast for him Current 3DMark
alanschu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Just like some people with DNF. It's been "in development" for pretty much just as long, but if it comes out I'm not going to expect the quality of a game that has been in high end development for 11 years with super elite characteristics across the board.
Fenghuang Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 If DNF isn't the bestest game in the history of games ever I shall be sorely disappointed. SORELY I SAY! RIP
Meshugger Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 If DNF isn't the bestest game in the history of games ever I shall be sorely disappointed. SORELY I SAY! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Relax, it's the Duke. It's empirically impossible for that game to fail.

Musopticon? Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Ever played Planet of the Babes? Didn't think so. Now that Human Head has got rid of this burden, they can consentrate on Rune 2.

Musopticon? Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I haven't played it either. I just heard it was bad. Real bad. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

kirottu Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I have played it. " Not very good. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
