Do the dinos run up to you and then just stand around or walk in circles so you can kill them?
Would you say the demo was on the final game's easiest difficulty setting
The demo is a completely different setting/map/etc from the real game it seems. I cant rate the difficulty.
Plus this game is mostly about traveling to the target planet, and killing the enemy soldiers - the dino's are more just in the way and attack both you and the enemy. I have killed more enemies than dino's.
So having said that the game seems like you are meant to play it fast and crazy unreal style.....the cover system isn't much but it doesn't seem like covering helps - its kind of like playng something like Uncharted except instead of a skinny dark haired guy who takes cover and shoots - you are Turok, wear gears of war style future/space body armor and you are supposed to relentlessly charge thru yer foes with your hands or guns or whatever. You machine gun is more of a way to combo an enemy in the face at close range.
The area in the demo wasnt nearly as varied, complex or good looking as the first areas in the real game.....in the demo I was in a tight cave and raptors often popped out nocking me on my feet a few times in a row....this kind of stuff hasnt even happened in the real game as yer mostly in a jungle fighting in larger areas.
I like the variety in the enemies - it is satisfying to take down the dinosaurs, and 3-4 soldiers in a row without breaking a sweat.
The knife isnt "too powerful" yer just turok and if you sneak up behind a guard and stab a 5 inch wide blade thru his throat he is gonna die right? What do you mean? (did I mention the soldiers fly to this planet on a spaceship?)
The QTE's dont kill an enemy they just give you a chance to counter and then resume attack on any target once you have pushed away....yes you can kill the smaller lizards by snapping them over your knee or twisting them but they are like glorified iguanas at best. A raptor can take 5-6 stabs in an eye socket and then a clip or two to take down.
The game feels really engaging fighting the wild beasts.
Like i said - this quick thrill isnt worth much - the real win/lose on this title will be the endgame etc....how good can the stages be - can the action get more intense with complicated stage morphing events and scenairos as hinted at and used lightly in the first few areas?
I love how your other ally soldiers who all hate you and your dumb turok hawk all talk shyt and then die one by one in front of your face.
Its so "God of War" to me.
