OH MY GOD THE ENDING

SO FUCKING HORRIBLE

Jansen · « **Reply #61 on:** June 28, 2008, 06:13:52 AM »

it's a shame aitd didn't turn out so well. i watched all the making of videos and the ideas going into this game sounded great. too bad they fucked up on execution.

the game is in my Q so i might still try it out. it can't possibly be worse than haze (which i played to completion).

And the driving is giving me trouble. I'm episode 2 - scene 5.

Do that part in first person view. Its easier that way plus you get an achievement.

Grecco · « **Reply #63 on:** June 28, 2008, 05:12:13 PM »

Batlefield isnt perfect. Has lots of things i would change/do different/ Needed polish

but fuck its fun as hell. See that sniper in that perch? Instead of getting owned. blow the perch the fuck out.

Batlefield hate is unwarranted imo.

Anyways i heard Kmart has AITD at 10 bucks so i might see if i can find a copy later today.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #64 on:** June 28, 2008, 09:32:42 PM »

The achievements in this game come like every 2 minutes. Level 3 gave me 15 achievements alone.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #65 on:** June 29, 2008, 10:54:34 AM »

The wheels completely fall off in level 4. The driving part at the beginning was the worst driving part of a game I've ever played.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #66 on:** July 25, 2008, 01:13:06 AM »

I finally got around to finishing this piece of shit for the achievements.

Worst fucking game I've played since I started gaming again in 2001.

y2kev · « **Reply #67 on:** July 27, 2008, 11:48:42 AM »

i sent it back at the beginning of chapter 5 i think

TOTALLY ASS GAME

SHENMUE IS BETTER

Jansen · « **Reply #68 on:** July 27, 2008, 09:41:30 PM »

i'm halfway through episode 6. gonna see it through to the end but i honestly dunno why i'm punishing myself like this...

even worse than the vehicle sections in Enter the Matrix? Those were fucking appaling

yes. you must play it to fully appreciate how utterly awful it truly is.

Dude hasnt met me... I beat Lair :usa

i couldnt beat deadman's basin

i came close once though but i couldnt waggle fast enough on the dam

demi · « **Reply #72 on:** July 28, 2008, 12:09:12 AM »

I guess I'm good at jerking off... I'd show you but - oops - Lair doesnt support achievements or any form of online showcase

Jansen · « **Reply #73 on:** July 29, 2008, 11:49:52 PM »

i beat it and now i feel this pain inside

Jansen · « **Reply #75 on:** July 30, 2008, 12:12:48 AM »

did they expect this game to do well enough for a direct sequel? cuz that's what the ending made it seem like.

either that or their time was up and they had to ship without an ending.

then again i guess there is the possibility that the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows never had an ending to begin with.

y2kev · « **Reply #76 on:** July 30, 2008, 12:15:07 AM »

well it's at like 200k worldwide so no sequel

You're wasting precious time playing this game.

demi · « **Reply #79 on:** July 30, 2008, 12:30:20 AM »

The music is probably the best part

[youtube=425,350]nh2kSs89Xxw[/youtube]

Well, maybe I shouldnt say probably

This music + Driving on 59th Street probably the best level in the game

cool breeze · « **Reply #80 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:05:07 PM »

For those who didn't have a moral lapse and buy this game, the demo is now up on XBL.

omg, awesome, renting today maybe

you can get 1000/1000 in one playthrough?

Jansen · « **Reply #82 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:21:25 PM »

dude.. don't do it.

the game has some maddeningly frustrating parts. spare yourself.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #83 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:23:07 PM »

...ok

I was looking forward to playing this but if its actually that bad...

back to replaying Eternal Sonata, fucking awesome game

demi · « **Reply #84 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:52:39 PM »

Scenester- yes you can get 1000 on one playthrough, if you miss one you can just load a chapter up and get it there. i'd say you wouldnt be doing any harm by renting it.

and AITD > Eternal Sonata

I fucking hate Eternal Sonata

The Sceneman · « **Reply #85 on:** August 04, 2008, 10:04:37 PM »

lol, yeah I know

I thought this sounded like a good rental, crappy survival horror/3d action is always good for a laugh, Stranglehold got panned (not as hard as AITD mind) and I had heaps of fun with that.

How long is AITD? Like 10 hours and a few more to get all achieves? My local store lets you rent 360 games for a week so that should be enough time? Also is it scary? I had problems playing Silent Hill games at night, mainly due to the sound, fucking terrifying stuff. I can handle Condemned and Bioshock ok

demi · « **Reply #86 on:** August 04, 2008, 10:05:59 PM »

I dunno about scary, I've got a big dick so fear just doesnt come to me naturally

The Sceneman · « **Reply #87 on:** August 04, 2008, 10:06:48 PM »

lol. Well theres a demo on xbl now so I can check that out

cool breeze · « **Reply #88 on:** August 04, 2008, 11:14:44 PM »

That demo was awful. I don't know if I should be happy that it cuts off right before the driving segment or not. Controls are awful. Incredibly glitch filled. Terrible in-game cut scenes with broken transitions between them. Horrible controls (This time for the FPS stuff). I can't believe this game has come out already. The music is good, but other than that, I am honestly surprised that even Atari would publish this garbage.

And the script! my gosh, the fucking script! I think it was a requirement to have the main character say at least two curse words for every one normal word.

demi · « **Reply #89 on:** August 04, 2008, 11:17:48 PM »

haha, yeah that part was sweet. FUCK YOUR MEDALLION

trippingmartian · « **Reply #90 on:** August 04, 2008, 11:49:27 PM »

I really like the cut-scenes in the demo, but the gameplay angered me. This game and siren belong in last gen.

Eh?

Alone in the Dark was actually attempting a LOT of new ideas that really are forward thinking. As is common for such an ambitious project, however, they have failed. It tries a lot of new things and really doesn't get any of them right. It's similar to Trespasser in that regard. Nobody would have said that Trespasser was "rooted in 1994" when it came out. No, it was very clearly trying something totally new and just couldn't pull it off.

Siren is entirely different. It's a solid game, but isn't really trying anything totally new. That said, many of the ideas in Siren were forward thinking even on PS2. This new game executes them in a more solid fashion. The controls can still be a bit weak, but it actually adds to the experience. I mean, if you could move and shoot like Gears of Uncharted, the encounters would lose a lot of their tension. The controls aren't bad, per se, they simply don't allow you to perform all of the actions you could in a dedicated shooter.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #92 on:** August 17, 2008, 02:30:27 AM »

so i finally rented this, lol

game is actually quite enjoyable. Buggy as fuck but I dont get all the driving complaints, its on par with GTA4 in terms of handling and realism. Im about halfway through now

The Sceneman · « **Reply #93 on:** August 18, 2008, 01:55:56 AM »

this game brings the fucken lulz, thats for sure.

every cutscene is like "Fuck you! What the fuck is going on?! Fuck!"

The Sceneman · « **Reply #94 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:05:46 AM »

I just got 1000/1000

I feel kind of gross now

THE FUCKING UNIVERSE wtf

cool breeze · « **Reply #95 on:** October 30, 2008, 04:47:58 PM »

The PS3 updated version is getting a demo later today. Chances of it being better are slim, but I'll still try it out.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #96 on:** October 30, 2008, 05:29:53 PM »

The PC version was $7 at Target a few weeks ago, so I deem that to be the superior version.

cool breeze · « **Reply #97 on:** October 30, 2008, 11:53:11 PM »

Demo is slightly less shitty than the 360 one, but it's still shitty. The driving sequence is probably the most boring driving sequence ever.
