Yup, but most of the reviews were pretty clear on the flaws, they just ultimately overlooked them for the score. If you read the reviews you'll be able to gleam that (for most of them.)

I typically read five or six or so reviews from multiple sources on a given game, and I look for similarities. If 5 or 6 of those reviews mention crappy controls or QTEs, it's a safe bet the game has crappy controls or a fuckton of QTEs.

I never bother to look at the scores anymore, really. When it's an EA game, it's all bought and paid for anyway, no matter how much the review sites scream that they don't review-for-pay.

About time, I've wanted this forever As for getting burned on preorders, hasn't happened to me yet. I have thoroughly enjoyed every game I've pre-ordered and I don't doubt this will be any different. (I don't even know what Brink is though, some shooter I guess?)

When you work in a studio and realize what happens when money changes a person's creative attitudes, then talk.

Been there, done that.
Plus you work in an animation studio, not a game studio.

Don't really see how you can say Cliffy is on his way - didn't you play Unreal? Don't you remember all the pictures of him in medallions like Flava Flav? His douchiness now is just a persona.
As for Romero, the man is humble as hell. Any douchiness is long since beaten out of the man. 15 years of failure tends to do that.


Fortunately games aren't made by men, they're made by teams. But maybe you think Tim Sweeney is a douchey prick, too.

Somehow when I saw this pop-up as a release and it only had "PC" next to the title I figured they'd were basically just going to package up the original GR (of course I somehow forgot about GWAR) and dump it online lazily. Which would have been mildly ok.

Instead, they've gone to the trouble to actually produce a GR branded Crysis knockoff console shooter that looks utterly shit for PC. Way to go. The problem with producing rubbish and making it "free" is it's still rubbish. No one is going to bother with it. They'll smugly sit around saying "see GR is dead on PC, they won't even play a free title" without acknowledging the reality..

Their recent killing off of R6 Ravenshield mods (a game released..hmm, 9 years ago?) really demonstrates how they're willing to milk these series for every last cent.

Booooooo

Well I suppose if they fixed them moving very very fast now they'll only be very fast.

It's hard to really respond to something so rambling. Especially when you throw Blood out in a discussion about current FPS games.



For the record, I wouldn't really call those "invisible walls." Bulletstorm doesn't let you jump, so not letting you fall to your doom makes sense. An invisible wall is more somewhere that, within the rules of the game, you feel you should be able to go but for some reason can't. Within the rules of Bulletstorm it's pretty clear you can't jump off of cliffs. Seems like not having a jump button killed the game for you. Wacky.



So, your basic points are:
1) Blood is the best game ever
2) CliffyB sucks
3) Why can't I jump?


Cool.

Wow that was a long, obnoxious rant.


1) I found 1 hidden wall in the game. 1. I don't see how that's "tons of hidden walls." Serious Sam 2 had "tons of hidden walls." Bulletstorm had 1.

2) "Pedestrian" hahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.

3) Again, I said it had better production values than Serious Sam. This tends to be something you pay for. Production values don't necessarily imply quality, but it does go beyond graphics. I don't see how you turn that into a really long rant and try to turn this into Transformers.

4) For godssake how much input do you think Cliff really had in this game? You claim to work for a developer, you should know that one guy doesn't have the time to create Gears of War 3, whatever Epic is doing next, and this game all at the same time.





You really don't seem to know much of anything, other than throw out comparisons to popular crap out there. You still haven't answered Jerykk's question about whether you've played the game, and somehow you think "John Caramack" has a good reputation when the only game he's released since 1999 is Doom 3.

awesome graphics check
awesome vehicles check
being able to play the game cause the controls aren't shit... not check...


i really hope they make the controls more accessible - it doesn't have to be COD/BF controls (which are perfect if you ask me when it comes to fun shooters) I don't mind a bit of realism.

but the old ARMA's and even first flashpoint, the controls are so shit it feels like its a job and not a game. you aren't having fun, you are working.
