Generally, I'm surprised how much I dislike this game, it feels like each successive entry since 2 has managed to be slightly less nuanced, and less fun. There's a lottttttt of shooting and defending objects from waves of enemies and the balloon/tether/booster combos are mostly pretty useless against them.

This game does an amazingly poor job of tutorialising its mechanics, and I got stuck in exactly the same place as Dan trying to find those generators. It's never explained, but there are conduits on the ground that lead you to them, so the search objectives aren't quite as arduous as they seem at first.

Also, goddamn... it was hard to watch Dan mostly ignore the wingsuit in this video, because it's easily the best part of the game IMO. When you figure it out you can fly forever, extremely fast, and the parachute pretty much just becomes an emergency break.

Hmmmm. Well I agree the framerate is better on PC, it almost looks like it's on fast forward? Anyone else notice this? Like someone turned on 1.2x speed?

Also, I wish Dan had shown off some story stuff. Not because I think the story is any good. Quite the opposite. It's that's the cutscenes look horrendous!! Remind me of the PS2 era.

This game seems fine and goofy, which is nice, but my general impression is a jumble of craziness that, maybe, will get old pretty quick?

@notchandler: furthermore, the first city he is in seems so dead.
