Just bought this game for $50 after reading a lot of good things about it. Don't really like playing it, is it just me?

lol this has been discussed before? did u try a search? and the game doesnt suck it just doesnt live up to expecatations, or at least thats what i thought. It was kinda quick and sometimes the framrate issue was annoying and i beat it before the patch came out for it. its overall not a bad game but its not too great either

 

[Vadatajs]

I liked it. It's not my favorite game, but I still liked it.

I curious, were did you read a lot of good things about it??

Can you give us a link?

heh

i also heard a lot of "good" things about it.

i'm afraid i have fallen victim to the marketing machine ie:gamespot, ign, etc, etc.

and i also think it sucks real bad.

to this day i have yet to run into FPS games that would equal quake 2, original tribes and original unreal.

q2, could actually support 2-3 times the players who were all playing on 56k (or at least 75% or so at the time, some were still on 28.8), per map then the q3 arena or t2 for that matter. my favorite used to be Loki CTF, which had often up to 64 players on the decent servers. now they seemed to have focused too much on bells & whistles and eyecandy and reduced the games playability way too much. not to mention the weapons are less original, weapon effects all look the same just different size and color dissipating light fog type of thing, and most important of all there are no grapples. lets face it, those spacwe jumping things of q3 suck a big co*k in comparison with the grapples from q2. there is nothing else in any game that came close.

tribes was good also, i think the original tribes was a lot more strategic and tactical with the way you could deploy turrets and whatnot then its sequel. also, in t2 for some reason i really hate the movement, they made it way too easy to kinda "float off" as best as i can describe it which makes the game too much of a drag to play when you're in the mood for heavy or light armor.

unreal vs unreal tournament and unreal 2, well the 1st is the obvious winner. in UT i really dont like movement, it feels slow and i cant jump high enough and also weapons arent as good as the original.

in unreal 2 things really suck, weapons are even less original and for some reason seem to pack less umph! in em. on top of that movement that feels sluggish again, i dont know what is it with the devs slowing down movement rates and toning down jump height, i mean i'm this freagin super dude outfitted in an even more super suit, and i run at regular humans walk speed and jump shin high (dont even make it to knee height). wtf kinda crap is that ?

then you throw in the gameplay, or rather lack thereof. the scinematic cutscenes are really horrible, the AI is ok, monsters could again be more original as the weapons

anyways i do wholeheartedly agree that unreal 2 sucks.

Well, maybe not a lot of good things, but the review in the April edition of CPU magazine piqued my interest.

There was a huge thread about this a few weeks ago. Basically I thought the game was disappointing but it did have some good qualities about it; also it in no way managed to equal the original game, which is one of the best games I've ever played.

Make sure you download and install the patch for the game as it's supposed to address some of the game's performance issues.

 

[FuManStan]

Well gamespot only gave the game a 7.3, a pretty average score. Not really 'marketing machine'

 

[Megatomic]

If you truly don't like it, I'll trade you my Morrowind for it. It is OEM but it includes the TES Construction Set CD and a retail copy of the official Bethesda Softworks Strategy Guide for Morrowind.

Interested? LMK. PMs are perfect.

 

[Looney]

It sucks... i only play it when i'm drunk... and even then, i don't think i've played it more than 20 mins straight.

Does my offer above intrigue you?

 

[apoppin]

You PAID FIFTY BUCKS for it. :Q



Yes, that does suck!

Learn to search Hot Deals - it was offered recently for about $20 after MIR. It is a VERY GOOD game for $20.

omg, now that adds insult to injury.
Bought it somewhat on a whim while home with my son who was sick, we each bought a new game.

I guess the injury was self- inflicted . . . but I am truly sorry for my perceived insult.

j/k'ing!

The MORAL of the story is: NEVER buy on a whim (unless you can return it). RESEARCH here and you'd know about the game; check Hot Deals and you'd save a bunch.

ANYWAY, make SURE you use the auto updater to get the latest patch. The game is buggy and the story is UNeven. There are some great moments here and there and the grachics are amazing if you have a fast computer.

Also the story is DEPRESSING but it DOES deal with guilt, sacrifice and redemption . . . a very "mixed bag" that many gamers find unappealing. As you "get into' it, it does get better but never really "stellar".

I give it a better than "marginal" thumbs up . . . (but NOT for $50 . . . sorry).

Well, we did end up enjoying the game quite a bit after we gave it more of a chance.

Turns out that 50 bucks was better spent than the 30 my son spent on his game that he only played 3 or 4 times. Forget the name now but it was a poor imitation of counter-strike.
