I got it free with my video card too. It looks great and does have some unique qualities, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it at release.
I get annoyed with it and quit at times. There are a few bugs that drive me crazy. When holding the shotgun, if I try to look at my watch to check how much longer my filter will last, the screen goes blurry and I can't see the watch. The worst one is that the enemy creatures are able to pass through you. I don't know what the creatures are called, but there's one that will jump at you and one that comes up through holes in the ground. The jumping ones, when I have to deal with several of them, I backed into a corner so they couldn't attack me from behind, but they'll jump and land "in" you or somehow manage to be between you and the wall where they can hurt you and you can't hit or see them. You have to move so they're not standing in you anymore.
What has annoyed me the most so far are the filters and the use of military grade ammo as currency. The military grade ammo is more powerful, and you can load it into your weapon by holding the reload key instead of pressing it. You're basically shooting money, so I don't want to do that. I wish they would have made it a separate key to change ammo because during a firefight I accidentally held the reload key too long and loaded my "money" into the gun by accident. I had over 100 military grade rounds. I didn't realize until I got to the next station that I had used them in my gun, so I didn't have any money to buy new weapons or ammo with.
The last three stations I've been through, the vendors weren't selling filters. On the level before Polis station I ran out of filters and had to reload the last checkpoint. If you shoot an enemy in the head, it breaks his mask. I've killed some by sniping their mask and watching them suffocate. Some have a spare and you can see them switch. If you can kill them without shooting them in the face or shoot their mask off and kill them before they switch to the spare, you can take the filter from their mask, but if you shoot them in the head it breaks their mask and you can't get the filter. After reloading the checkpoint I had to kill an enemy without breaking his mask, get his filter and hurry to the end.
Now I'm at Polis station with one partial filter. The vendors there don't sell filters, and the next level is outside. |
