I have heard some good stuff about this game regarding the story, more specifically how it handles certain issues in war.

So I bought the game for 5 euro at steam (I was surprised the regular price was at 20 Euro, is this not a full retail game?).

Looking forwarding to be playing this bad boy!

Edit: I am not sure if this sale applies to Europeans only

Edit2: 4.99 Pounds for English duders!

Got it during the Xmas sale and after playing just the first mission, it is a good game. I heave heard good things about the story and the game looks great on PC.

It is just your typical 3rd person cover shooter though. Nothing special gameplay wise really.

Lol is this a £5/$5/€5 dealy? Where English people end up paying a bunch more than everyone else?

@AlexW00d: Yep, it's £4.99 for us.

Got this on PC for sale in the Amazon pack with Bioshock 1 and 2 for $10. Great with the controller and it looked very nice graphically. Very interesting game.

I think the combat is underrated too besides the fact that the weapons don't sound powerful enough. I hate when games miss out on that and it was especially glaring in a game that is all about the brutality of war. I loved how the weapons did feel powerful though in the gameplay. It was nice playing a cover shooter where the enemies went down in one or two shots. With the squad commands it made the combat feel a bit more tactical than your average TPS.

Its $7.49 in the US actually.

Completely worth buying for anyone on the fence, especially at that price.

Wellp, I just got paid and then this dropped when I was on the fence about it during the Winter Sale. Here we go.

Christmas called - it wanted to let you know this is old news.

Don't mean to be an asshole, but it's somewhat redundant to post about deals right after Steams 2-week-long dealathon.

Not when it's a part of this weeks Midweek Madness Sale.

If someone skipped it during the Holiday Sale, then this thread let's them know they've got another chance. Nothin wrong with that.

I don't mean to be an asshole, but I'm going to be one.

If you don't think the thread should be there, don't look and don't post. Mods do their jobs.

@HellBound:I am fine with that. Now I hope binary domain will go on a similiar sale in the future :)

@AlexW00d: Well, to put it like this. How much does a brand new game cost in the UK? Because I can bet it costs less than Scandinavia. Many Norwegians import games from play.com and amazon.uk.

Edit: I don't have any money left, so this isn't a bet x)

@Icicle7x3: With the current currency, you would only pay 1 more dollar than non-UK people

This is what happened to me, I was on the fence on a lot of games.

@amir90: I imagine Scandinavians pay more too, but then the average wage in Sweden and Norway is over twice than the UK. Even in the US where everything is cheap as hell the average wage is higher. That was what I was getting at.

Underrated? I still have yet to finish the game because the shooting is boring me to tears. The guns feel and sound terrible, the aiming could be tighter, and well, there are just better third-person shooters. I can't play this game in long stretches because I can't bring myself to slog through more of the combat.

(and I'm playing on easy)

@AlexW00d: That is true

It's underrated to me.

Honestly Max Payne 3 puts all TPS games to shame but it's one of the better shooters as far as the guns feeling powerful, again, in the gameplay sense. They do sound terribly weak and as I said that's a shame for a game that's supposed to be brutal.

Not saying it's top of the line but I find it pretty damn good and bit tactical. I think that might be part of it as the tactical shooter has all but disappeared and I quite enjoy those (I was a huge fan of Rainbow Six Vegas). Not that tactical but has some of that feel.

Not going to be a popular opinion judging by what I've heard others say about the game. Cool if you don't like it man. It's definitely not bad at all though so not sure why you can't make it through on easy.

Seriously, if you haven't had the chance to play this game now is the time! Expect this game to be coming up when talking about future games with focus on storytelling or being military games.

The "adaptive dialogue" innovation with Nolan North going from kill confirmed to "Kill FUCKING CONFIRMED" and having him growl RELOADING in the latter parts is worth the price of admission.
