entrerix Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 im fully expecting guild wars 2 to be good, just like the original was when it came out. that said, graphically, why does the sequel not look any better than the original? Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Morgoth Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) First Syndicate review online ...and it sucks. Was nice knowing you Starbreeze. Now keeping an eye on Machine Games. Edit: And another disappointing review Edited February 21, 2012 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
Undecaf Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 First Syndicate review online ...and it sucks. Was nice knowing you Starbreeze. Now keeping an eye on Machine Games. Edit: And another disappointing review Gametrailers gives it a whopping 8.2. Can't tell how they comment on it because my speakers just died, but it looks like nothing I would bother with.

Gorth Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 First Syndicate review online ...and it sucks. Was nice knowing you Starbreeze. Now keeping an eye on Machine Games. Edit: And another disappointing review Gametrailers gives it a whopping 8.2. Can't tell how they comment on it because my speakers just died, but it looks like nothing I would bother with. I think your speakers were trying to save your sanity. I watched the first 5.5 minutes and had quit out of sheer boredom. I shiver by the thought of having to sit through the entire game “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Flouride Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I still don't get it why anyone was even intrested in Syndicate in the first place. Hate the living, love the dead.
Undecaf Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 In the first place... the original setting and gameplay could've progressed into something really nice if the franchise reboot was handled with care and respect. Alas it was not, so I don't believe anyone is particularly is interested in it anymore for other reasons than having mediocre shooter experience. But that's just my opinion.

Gorth Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 I still don't get it why anyone was even intrested in Syndicate in the first place. Some of us think there are too few games in "Bladerunner" type settings The original was one of my favourite games on the Amiga Edit: Doesn't hurt either, that I like squad based tactical combat games. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

sorophx Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 hmmm, judging by that gametrailers review it's a good game. kind of like that Shadowrun FPS. I'll probably pick it up when the price drops a bit Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Morgoth Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I still don't get it why anyone was even intrested in Syndicate in the first place. Mainly because Starbreeze's last two games were quite good and offered their own twist and charm to the FPS genre. Never cared about the Syndicate IP itself. Rain makes everything better.

Yes, the original one was a great game. Don't think this new one shares much with that game though. Hate the living, love the dead.
Malcador Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Well, here's hoping it bombs and takes the studio with it. Wonder if the game is chock full of annoying dubstep too, hmm. Mind you, I'll have to play it now, don't play enough bad games. Why has elegance found so little following?

Morgoth Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Mind you, I'll have to play it now, don't play enough bad games. That's the spirit, son. And this is exactly why EA will keep pushing out garbage like this, because no matter how much people complain and "threaten" not to ever buy anything ever again from them, they do.

Mind you, I'll have to play it now, don't play enough bad games. Wait, what? Because of one "bad" game you want an entire studio to go under? Not to mention the same studio who did Riddick and Darkness 1? Sorry, thats kinda dickish.

Hurlshort Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm just not a fan of the style. As Morgie said, it looks like a Korean MMO.
