Quick Look: Bodycount

yoyoyo this game is ass.

woooooot  (first try)

Great intro. My preliminary assumption is that this is going to be a good Quick Look of a bad game.

From the demo, I thought the game was "ok"...but not being able to move while aiming killed it for me.

Love the art style of the 'bad' guys shame it'll not been seen by many people. Demo was very very bad.

Yeah, stick to Rally :)

ok I have been waiting for this. time to get some popcorn.

Demo turned me off this game right away, not being able to move and aim? instantly made the game feel very archaic.
 
EDIT: Watching part of the Quick Look now, you CAN move and aim, I feel a little stupid, but the game certainly didn't make it clear to me in the demo that pulling the trigger half-way allows you to do that........still a stupid mechanic, let's be honest.

The game is bad,yo.

Im so glad Jeff also realizes how loud Ryan is when he plays games. You hear him clacking the sticks constantly in his quick looks

rather play Rock of Ages than this game     

Was actually looking forward to this, but playing the demo and then seeing even more of the game here has definitely put me off. Terrible game

Yo, this game is bad yo

Apparently you can if you just press the left trigger in a little bit, not all the way down, you can move and shoot at the same time instead of that dumb lean thing. I say apparently because I heard this after I had played the demo once and had no intention of playing it again just to confirm. 

This game is really bumming me out. I am so depressed now.

Generic FPS: the game

No actual Iron sights is dumb.

Welp. I had enough after 5 minutes. Thanks once again for saving me money, Giant Bomb!

This game looks...pretty mediocre. Art style is nice but the shooting is bad and the core mechanic is one that, while it sounds good on paper, has poor execution.

Edit: Running animation looks pretty dumb.

I donno, kinda fits my notion of bodycount in the musical sense. If I was ever a fan of Ice-tea, it's not in the past 2 decades... This game is nothing but green with sone red, probably why Jeff is having trouble visually.

The demo was so bad!

Hmm. I personally know at least one guy who worked on this. Kinda bums me out that it's not that great :/

Ouch.  "I'd rather play Duke Nuke Forever than this."  That says a lot about this game.

I swear I'm going to flip if they don't mention how weird and frustrating it is having the cross-hair in the bottom quarter of the screen. If there was any one thing that killed all excitement I had for the game, that would be it.

I'm with Jeff. Black did not deliver. In fact, it bored me in the same way that this game looks boring. It is not for me.

What the fuck were they thinking when they made the aiming system have you look down the side of the gun and not the ironsights? Worst system I have ever seen.

@SubwayD: I immediately noticed that, I find it really uncomfortable. Halo has also done that, although the crosshair is a bit higher upon the screen.

why the hell is the crosshair down at the bottom of the screen? looks incredibly annoying

Tried the demo, and the game is incredibly sluggish control-wise. A lot of work probably went into the game, like any game, but it seems to me that it needed better design and direction.

So this game looks like doodoo

Halo does that well, and I did notice it when I played the demo. It does seem a bit misplaced. It is generally a good idea, I think. Usually you'll want to keep an eye above you rather than on the ground below in shooters.

This is some reeeeally grim stuff.

Did the General just grab some intel orbs? Fuck that guy.

Console FPS that makes Quake 1 gameplay look like it comes from the future? Never seen that before!

I love the offset iron sights...

The fact that you can't move while aiming killed the demo for me immediately. It was just horrible

The way the reticule is really low on the lower half of the screen is really bothering me. Kinda looks like you're always looking up when you're not

Man QL's of terrible games are always great.

Also I love how they just shoehorned in their racing game lobby system. "DNF" Did not finish? what?

Haters gonna hate, i found it to be incredibly fun.

Wasn't planning on buying before, and still not planning on buying

There is nothing worse than a super generic, B-level shooter.

Also, one of the biggest insults you could ever lay upon a game is to say "I'd rather be playing Duke Nukem Forever."

I only played the demo of this, but it had easily the worst controls of any FPS I've played in years and years and years.  Codemasters, please stop making FPS games.

Jesus, at least Bulletstorm is fun to watch, oh and actually fun to play too.

Putting normal guns into an arcade style shooter seems weird to me too.

Crysis 2 is a "B" level shooter; this game is more like "G" level.

normally, graphics alone dont turn me away from a game. but i played the demo and it had the worst. and i mean worst, console shooting controls i have ever used. i had to quit the demo after about 20 mins and deleted it

This looks really half assed.

Is the crazy mystery person Cortana/Zoey?
