That escape artists section makes absolutely no sense. And why do the Lutadores not speak plain English? What the shit is going on?

This seems like a perfect shitty shooter for a rainy day. From a discount bin of course.

This and Binary Domain seem better than north american TPSs, particularly the character designs, they actually look normal.

Just what the world needs, another generic 3rd person cover shooter.  Because we don't already have enough muscle men spewing dumb dialogue, cussing a lot, and facing a mindless horde of baddies.

@CakeBomb: Binary Domain was great, this just looks really bland and uninteresting with a bunch of enemy and weapon designs seemingly copied from other games.

Hey gaiz...I have an idea.  Let's make an assault rifle for our 3rd person cover shooter and put a really big blade on the front of it.  Originality!

while the game looks mediocre, they really didn't show it in a fair light, they showed the tutorial and were suprised nothing was going on, though you can get this game for $19.99 at best buy today, they just misrepresented the game a bit

From what I've seen, there isn't a single original idea in this game. Gravity Gun/Psi-Ops + GoW gameplay + Supermutants/Locust + boring square-jawed protagonists + terrible pacing (oh look some guys showed up, oh look you're in prison, oh look you're out again) = sheer mediocrity.

I think they were being unfairly harsh to this game. Granted it doesn't look great but there are far worse things.

same. it looks like every other boring shooter that's out there. tough guys, weird "aliens", grey and brown, dumb shooting. it's not buggy, it doesn't look like shit.. this is video game about shooting in the year 2012. there aren't many differences now.

It doesn't really look awful, and it's a Gears of War clone. Lots of games are like this. I would play this with a friend on co-op just for some dumb fun. Dunno why you guys are dumping so hard on this game.

Now, I'm not a fan of cover based third person shooters, and will cut that part of my comment short. But what the hell is the point with having a 5 second countdown before searching for players?

On a positive note, I really liked the explosions.

this looks like it plays fine. it reminds me of Binary Domain from the looks of it, although i haven't played either and this looks a bit slower paced. based off of the quick looks. the gravity stuff looks fun though. i would play this in co-op if it was cheap.

ryan's rage was great. you go, girl.

I'm not saying this looks good, but all this quick look showed was tutorial stuff, which is naturally going to be slow. And you guys didn't even show the gravity switching, which is the game's main feature.

Thirded. Some parts were funny but the way they just straight up shit on a mediocre game is kinda weird. Especially when they QL some pretty shitty games and don't act nearly as negative - like Babel? Like Lollipop Chainsaw etc
