That's one ugly face and uninteresting face. I just want my dust porn.

That's funny. I read about this game today in the papers and although I don't like shooters, I thought about giving this one a try because Martin Walker looks f*cking handsome.

Aaaand because it's third person, first person makes me feel paranoid.

My brother had that. You should really go see a doctor as soon as possible.

I thought I was looking at some New Vegas screenshot.

How's this different from all the other games that are exactly the same as this? its as if someone said "make something generic" and they were like "we'll make it the most generic"

I don't know if I agree with this statement or not...but, damn, that last bit made me laugh.

I also played the demo (360), and like it, I also will be buying it.

so I feel that games that overadvertise on the internet/TV that have no previous basis to be good (eg ME3, Gears 3) usually end up pretty awful... I don't think this will break the trend, which is unfortunate because I kinda like the setting and story.

This game puzzles me. I wish the devs the best!

Bourdain rules

I love the level progression can be told by the amount of facial damage. I love that in games like Arkham Asylum.

I really like the implication that the character is degrading morally as he degrades physically. At least that seemed to be the thrust of the trailer. I'm really looking forward to this game to see if it can even come close to pulling off the goals they've set for videogame storytelling.

I played the demo (PC), I enjoyed it, I shall be buying it...*End of awesome story*....

You ripped of my (yet untold, but copyrighted) story. Prepare to be sued!

Too much big generic lifeless videogame face.

The Steam demo made me puke.

Now I want hear Anthony Bourdain eloquently describe the taste of sand.

From following previews, this sounds FAR MORE interesting than the Medal of Honors, Battlefields and Call of Duty's of the world. Between the original, relatively colorful setting (complete with the dynamic sand element) and the story that actually tries to add weight to the cartoonish genocide in most modern military games, this game has more ambition than the last 84 COD sequels, spin-offs and DLC packs combined. I'd MUCH rather have seen something like this happen than some dipshit developer add "Nazi zombies" to their game.

Can't wait for a Quick Look of this. 2K Games is easily the most interesting big budget publisher to watch. I'm so glad that they'll support games like Bioshock, Xcom, Borderlands and this over yet another disposable, multiplayer-focused COD clone.

This looked a lot more interesting before. Might just be the trailer but looks hella Call of Duty now.

Whatever, I am amazed this actually came out.

You're right, Alex. Anthony Bourdain is a cool guy.

ehh?

Greg Kasavin

Still looks really bad. Bad to the bone!

Nolan North and the Shotguns to the Face: The Video Game.

Last time I was the least bit interested in this title Greg Kasavin was still repping it at E3.

Whatevs. I can't wait for the three/five review of this.

So they basically just remade the television ad they've been showing on Hulu since April. Well that's great.

That's one ugly face and uninteresting face. I just want my dust porn.

Meh, I'll give it a run.

I'm gonna kill all of you and then I'm gonna kill you! ... Kill them all!

I have my doubts about this game. Crossing my fingers it turns out allright.

"Breaks from the usual conventions" - Wow thats a real ringing endorsement.

These ops look... Spectacular? uh...

I feel like I've seen half a dozen versions of this trailer.

Some Ops in my Spec.
