i still need to finish vesperia and persona 3:fes oh god my life sucks :gloomyi still didn't beat vesperia and barely played dead space.
Waiting on this one. Fallout 3 is my goty so far omg
i dunno, rumored 6 hour campaign has me waiting for some decent reviews before considering a purchase
60$ for 6 hours just isnt enough even if they include time trials
six fucking hours what the fuck
still, i bet that's if you're some gaming ninja with 80,000 Achievement pts. i.e. not me
If this was 3rd person nobody would give a fuck.
Did you also play this one at your friend?
What the fuck, this game is like 4 hours.
Feels more like an episode of some T.V show than anything. Doesn't feel "feature" stuff.
Game gets fun later on though, blazing through dudes, disarming sons of bitches, pretty cool.
Shit game.
Seriously. The most linear, boring ass shit i've played since Too Human. If this was 3rd person nobody would give a fuck.

It is planned as a trilogy, much like Gears

Linear is not bad. Why do people keep throwing "linear" in as some kind of dirty word? The gaming press has made linear a bad word like Reagan made liberal a bad word and its TIME THAT WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Linear is more often than not better than nonlinear in gaming :usacry

i hope this game tanks and they learn their lesson: 4-6 hr games that do not have multi aren't worth $60 fucking dollarsI disagree.
I don't mind long games unless they are artificially lengthened with bullshit fetch quests are reused objectives.
If I can get 6-8 well designed hours without much filler content out of a game, then that's fine with me. I had to stop playing Fable 2 as I realized that it'd take way to long to get the full experience from the game, and the core game wasn't exactly gripping me enough to keep playing it for the story. I only really have time to play games for a few hours late at night, or in rare cases when the kid is taking a nap and I don't have anything more important to do with my time. So, short and fullfilling games are totally hot, as are good multiplayer games. 4 hours of SP, though? Rent.
Nope. When I say I'm a blind/loyal Zelda fan, I mean I'm a blind/loyal Zelda fan through and through. I even liked Phantom Hourglass despite it really not being too good a game. It's a curse I lived with my whole life.
A couple of gaming hrs/night ain't bad for a parent. I don't see how I'll have more than an hour or two per night once I start my residency. That's why I'm gonna put off marriage for awhile.
I give myself the time by cutting depriving myself of sleep. I average 4 hours of sleep, even less so of continuous sleep. :(
Wooo, Gamefly is sending it to me. Should have it by Saturday.

Sooo... general consensus is that the 360 version is better?

Unless you have controller preferences, yes.
Is this game kind of ugly to anyone else? Like, everything LOOKS good and the color choices and art design are great, but the texturing is incredibly sloppy (on 360 here). Also, the game like has to load levels midlevel and it just completely stops. This is one of the smoother third party UE3 games but it still doesn't even come close to Gears.
The vast majority of the game seems to be in the time trials. I've only just started, but achieving anything close to the three star rating times is frickin' hard. You have to do a lot of experimentation to discover new paths and then practice a lot.
If that interests you then I suspect you'll find the game incredibly long. I spent about an hour and a half on the first time trial level last night and only have a two star rating thus far.
the time trials are so good that they kind of frighten me -- they've got the merciless precision of a technical racing game, the control complexity of a fighting game, a subtlety of environmental interaction that was latent in the newer prince games, and a subtlety of movement that was latent in the fps control scheme. i played one time trial for three or four hours last night and felt one of those korean mmorpg poopsock death seizures coming on :-\

Damn my cheap attitude for importing and thus waiting another week :(
I just played the full game for the first time since I touched the demo, and the controls just clicked this time. The first time I played, they seemed curious and cumbersome, but this time they seemed rather natural. It's similar to Assassin's Creed where once you grok the "control philosophy" the game becomes quite a bit more fluid.
Just beat chapter 2. That part going down the drain and then up was absolute bollocks.It took me forever to take out the 5 guards after you got back out of the drain. Combat is the weakest part of this game, but I realize now that it's much quicker to just run up and disarm your enemies.
Is there seriously a slime boss in this game, or is that a joke?
Are you talking about that guy with unlimited ammo for his machine gun who stood between you are some stairs? if so, that bit took me a long time to get by, but I did.

That's the one. Man that part pissed me off so much. I couldn't figure out how to get past him because you had to run at him for a little bit either way and it seemed like he never reloaded.
This game is an incredible experience. Just so different. Im utterly baffled as to how Edge gave this a 5/10
Getting that pacifist achievement was tough stuff, especially in the last few levels when you have rooms filled with guys trying to shoot your lights out. But I did it. *Rocky fist pump*

Really? I got it on the very first level, first time I played.
God how do you beat the Slime Mutant boss in level 5

This game sucks. Bring on Prince of Persia.Female protagonist making you question your sexuality, you fucking homo?
It wont be wrapped up cause its a Trilogyyay! :D
It wont be wrapped up cause its a Trilogy
As long as Assassin's Creed and Mirror's Edge are released on alternate years, we should be ok.
thrill ride.
I'm sure with practice someone who's actually playing the game will find ways to speed through any level.
I don't mind having to figure out where to go next, it's part of the fun. And if you're being chased it adds tension.
So do you guys think they simply wasted their time writing a story and crafting story set pieces?
i'll just throw this out there:
Mirror's Edge is one of the best looking games I've ever played. The colors and lighting are marvelous.

While squinting?
I'm so fucking glad they added ninjas to this game.
Do they delete these fucks in time trials or is the game completely broken?
thrill ride.

At the beginning of chapter 9, LOVING this game. Too bad I'm at home for the week and can't finish it right now...
Mirror's Edge is awesome for the simple fact that on a Friday night there were about nine people who could not stop watching and yelling at the game ("THERE'S A RED FUCKING DOOR, GO!") for three hours. On a Friday night. I can't name another single-player game that grab's people's attention this well.
(no hard landing, beat a level w/o getting shot at... can you do these 2 achievements on the prologue level?)

yeah. and the server room is honestly pretty easy to get through without guns -- dunno what all the fuss was about. mirror's edge detractors shit at games? seems so
I still don't see the combat complaints. I haven't fought anyone yet.

haha what
I beat it on Normal, got Test of Faith achievement. That last guard in the server room is a BITCH. OH MY GOD, why did they do that? I had to run in circles and dispatch every other guard except him, then pray I could make it. I did! And the rest was CAKE after that. I'm doing Hard mode now, cant wait to USE GUNS!!!I avoided every other guard but him, disarmed him and then rushed up the stairs.
2. Like Demi said, the O guider doesn't work right sometimes. The boat level and the defense company level were very confusing. Sometimes I just had no idea where to go. Like the part with the sniper in front of the billboard that you knock off and then there are two ziplines. Both go to middle height on the building and you see a red door up high. So you think you're supposed to go UP but after a bunch of times I realized I could go DOWN to the ground level and enter the door there.
i beat the game over the weekend. what a disappointing ending. and the server room was easy.

Did you do it without firing a shot? I notice you dont even have Test of Faith... disappointing to see

Since I'm just looking for bags now and working on speed run ideas I've started shooting people. I'm amazed how ridiculously easy the game gets when you can just mow everyone down.
I've been playing the game for the last few nights off and on. Damn this is like this gen's Stuntman. It doesn't have the horrendous load times. But it requires a level of precision like that of a F16 fighter pilot pulling special maneuvers. I just got the boat, and I can't believe how much reward and frustration is involved in this game. I can't wait to finish the game. I do wonder since I used the gun once or twice, would playing a new game still net me that achievement or not.
Glad I picked this up for cheap at target.
Cant wait for the time trial maps.

On sale at Target this week for $44. Worth it?Yep, but try the demo first.
I was happy buying it for full price. If you like the gameplay, it's worth it.
It was kinda their goal to make a fps that wasn't just a shooter. I think they achieved that even though there are guns in ME. The game forces you to only use them when you're desperate.Yeah, the hand-to-hand and disarms were cool. Shooting is OK but makes things way too easy. I still think they should have gone with their gut and left out the ability to shoot altogether.
You can't have a DICE game without guns.
