Title: Best Something Something: Something of Something FPS powered by Unreal?
Post by: Joe Molotov on February 29, 2008, 04:50:46 AM
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty or Front Lines: Fuel of War

Which one's better?

Frontlines is multiplayer first, single player second (its basically Desert Combat with UE3)

I'd expect Turning Point to be the opposite

I'm gonna buy Turning Point today (for work)

Someone already traded in a CE version of Turning Point, so I picked up, came out to be less than buying a regular version at full price :lol

Nice, what does the CE have in it? I looked at the box yesterday, but it didn't really say, do you just get a snazzy steelbook case?

Wasn't that like the stock Windows font?

well, people say it looks better, though i'm not really the right guy for graphics

i'm playing on Insane, aka hardest, cause i'm a real nicca, and nobody has said if achievements stack... guess i will find out

game hasn't been hard, but i can't run out like a tard thinking i am hard shit

you regenerate health really quick, its like - 1, 2, boop done back
Title: Re: Best Something Something: Something of Something FPS powered by Unreal?
Post by: demi on March 01, 2008, 05:41:20 AM

:bow America :bow2

I think I'm going to fall back on my original plan of waiting until this game hit $20 to pick it up. Sounds like no one's online anyway, so no rush.

Sucks that Turning Point sucks.  I thought that the premise was interesting.

That's kinda true, but Stranglehold stacks achievements. I beat it on Hard, then I did it again on Hard Boiled.

he's supposed to destroy the atom bomb, but when he gets there, the nazis fuck it up and knock the bomb off the holster, so you kill the nazis, then hit a switch, which causes a panel to pop off the bomb for some reason. you walk up, inspect it, and thats it. video plays, your guy just sits there like "sigh" and radio is like "carson (thats you), did you get out?" or something. zoom in on the timer, and theres only 5 seconds left... uh oh. outside, shows the zeppelin and such... kaboom, explosion. so your guy basically dies.

I bet theres a sequel that acts like the ending NEVER happened.

You think this will sell well enough to get a sequel?

after playing that demo, i told myself i'd break my own fingers if i allowed my insane desire to play every WWII-themed video game to overcome rational thinking

there'll be no more hour of victories for me
