Reading the article Hell Kitty makes me a lot less interested in the game. ANother linear FPS. WIth monsters.

 

Oh well.

And, on occasion, onto the frozen, lifeless world above

This is the sort of games I'll wait at least a few months after release before buying, because previews indicate that it's a buggy mess and horribly balanced.

I could have told you that a year ago.

 

Hmm, actually I did, on the first page...

Metro 2033 was reviewed my German print mag "Gamestar", and got a respectable 85%.

 

It's only 7 hour long, very linear and gunning is easier than stealth.

It's only 7 hour long,

 

 

A game that short has to be brilliant to be worth more than a handful of change and some pocket lint.

 

Linear monster mashes don't cut it.

Right.

 

I might pick this up on steam sale someday if it's cheap enough.

Yeah, shame about the length, I was really interested. Now though, I don't want to fork over the dough for a full price game which offers only 7-12 hours of entertainment, too little content for a student's frail budget.

Wow, you get Red Faction: Guerrilla for free when you pre-purchase this on Steam.

 

Probably worth it just for that.

Except, RFG sucks.

 

I'll probably wait till December and snatch it for 10

I guess you're also allergic to fun.

 

Dismantling stuff and watching it fall apart is something common to all humans, you soulless automaton.

Blowing **** up gets really old very fast. What else does RF offer? Sand?

You don't just "blow stuff up", this isn't GTA.

 

Instead you methodically dismantle structures by destroying support beams and other structurally important points. Then you marvel at your work as the building slowly collapses under it's own weight. Also, explosives aren't nearly as fun as the sledgehammer or the nano rifle.

Oh yeah, great. It's still a boring game.

I'm sure you're the foremost expert on that subject without having ever played it.

I played it for an hour or so, but then I had to realize how pointless this whole game was, so I quit.

Oh well, your loss.

It's better with a real hammer.

 

And a panda.

Probably, but they don't really let us demolish skyscrapers here

Gametrailers review

 

Gives a good overview of the game, atmospheric but flawed. Yeah, I'll pick this up from a steam super sale, the current 49,99€ is ridiculous.

Atmospheric and flawed? Sounds like STALKER.

 

Those Russian developers should try to mix it up a bit

Except STALKER wasn't actually flawed. Buggy, yes, but the gameplay and level design is pretty solid.

 

Clear Sky was a bit flawed with its malfuncting Faction Wars though.

Flawed and buggy are pretty much the same in my book, but STALKER had a ton of non-bug related gameplay flaws as well that they are still in the process of fixing with Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.

I'm currently playing Call of Pripyat. No crashes yet. Not a single one. Clear Sky crashed on average once every 45 mins.

 

The level design is not quite as good as earlier.

Flawed and buggy are pretty much the same in my book,

 

If buggy=flawed then all games are flawed and it has nothing to do with being made by a Russian or any other developer.

No game works perfectly, but STALKER is no worse than any other.
