Don't worry. It's nooothing like Quake or Doom. Sure, it has tons of action, but it's more like a action adventure game, you walk around, talk to cell mates in Butcher Bay and do sidequests for cigarettpacks and credits, with credits you can use 'em to buy ciggpacks, or other stuff from people. It's a much deeper experience than Doom or Quake. It's so much focus on adventuring, talking, and then having some action here and there. Perfectly paced. You never get so much action that you are burned out on it, because before you get too much of it, you are through with one area and you can explore some and talk, which is a nice breather before going into another action part. Always makes you hungry for more. :)
Escape from Butcher Bay really set the standards on how you use a movie license and a actor with it. EfBB is really top notch Riddick material along with Pitch Black and this seems to be pretty darn sweet aswell. Starbreeze really knows how to create atmospheric and cool games, they look cool and you feel cool playing it. I think this might be one my top games for 2009. A new campaign AND the old game? Heck, I'm in love already!
Really makes you proud to be from Sweden, when we have fine craftsmen like the boys and girls at Starbreeze.
Really, if you want a great action game 2009, you must get this game. The first game got good scores almost everywhere, and no one bought it! Well, not enough atleast. Don't do a Psychonauts on this game and do take the leap of faith if you haven't played it before. The money goes to a good cause and a good developer atleast, that have some passion for their work. If there is one license-based game that should live on. It's Riddick by Starbreeze!
Bullshit or not bullshit, this is common, and not something to rage about. It happens all the time and it's the duty of the PR department to do this kind of stuff. I'm kinda surprised how many blogs and such have commented about this, it's nothing big, really. It happens and ofcourse they want the game to sell, lots of heart and money went into making it. Even bad games are often produced with alot of heart and alot of money. I can't blame them really.
I love Blade Runner myself, but really. Play the game first, this game is actually one of the adventure games that is worth playing, mostly because how you can impact the story and get different endings, etc. It's actually less about the movie and more about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The game follows the book much more closely than the movie does, which makes an interesting experience. Do play it if you like Blade Runner, they did some great things with the game.
Yeah, easy topic, just write which is your favorite and why!
I like the plain standard outfit with jeans and jeans jacket, it feels normal and not that weird and sexualized. The version without the jacket is fine too!
Haha. I just kinda like her personality and the fact that she is fun to play as a agressive player (some attacks that can break through blocks, etc), and that she has clothing! And jeans and jeans jacket, that's awesome. Also she is kinda whimsical in her endings or somesuch. She feels less of a sexualized character but everyone in DOA is. :P
Let's add lots and lots of info about the game. I'll probably add more meat to the article when I get the time, I just added some things I missed on the FEAR Connection in Trivia and other stuff. Inserted two pictures in the article for good measure. :)
