Is it odd that I'm looking forward to this way more since I heard the game was terrible?

The graphics team for this game is either composed of racists or political cartoonists.

The Call of Juarez games have never been anything amazing (a lot of FPS games aren't) but I enjoy them for what they are, games with a funny story and some great characters. McCall in CoJ 1! ... reading from a bible while killing people! .. loved it

Uncharted 3 does have a buddy system in normal TDM and such, not just in the multi-team games, which are "a thing", by the way. Not sure why Brad always makes it sound like it's something special in UC3.

I think he means the 50 Cent: Blood on the sand quick look which i could swear i remember, but now can't find. Maybe it was all a collective dream :D

I like some of their ideas, but the end product is just a bizzare mess of game. This needed more time, money and care.

I don't understand how a game can be made in 2011 and be this shitty.
 
It's like they took a canceled PS2 game and updated the graphics as quickly as possible and shoved it out to stores.
 
Developers who make game of this quality should be sued. Anyone who pays $60 for this is a victim.

I just can't get over how the enemies are randomly wandering around, occasionally throwing punches and then the next second acting like the player isn't even there as they stroll calmly away. The graphics are terrible, the AI is terrible, the Voice Acting is awful..... you can even see the textures blur in and out when the camera turns too fast.

And that phone call in the middle of the fight..... ugh.

It's been gone for about a year now I think. It's a shame, that 50 Cent: BOTS quick look had so many good moments in it.

This also definitely seems like a PC game first. Like the other games, Techland is a PC dev first.

Hmm. This game is lacking polish to an incredible extent. But, there's some really interesting elements in it with the dirty cop stuff. I can stomach some jank if there's invention around it (I think Lost Planet 2 is great), so I'm kind of interested in it. Shame that it seems to have pretty terrible console controls.

Voice acting is painful. Like they were going for a certain tongue in cheek feeling, but it just ended up sounding like really bad acting.

Nope, I can't remember an explanation for it. Maybe they were asked to take it down? Can't say for sure.

this game is no. 1 selling on the site where I buy games, I don't know why, there was no advertisement for this and I didn't knew anyone would have interest in this.
