You're being smashed at all angles by enemies who seemingly never seem to reload or need to, and it's usually just a test of endurance as to who can hold out longer. I dread to think how bad this'll get when the inevitable bullet sponge bosses come along.

I get that not everyone was fond of the cover FPS revolution - myself included - but this game lacks the precision of a cover based FPS while also lacking pretty much all of the fun of something more classic like the Painkiller franchise.

The level design, and monster design is awesome and I don't wanna come across overly negative on a game that isn't really worth being overly negative about but just eh.

Definitely the highlight so far was riding the tank, it controlled like total ass but after spending so long dying and sneaking around it was really nice to get a sense of power given back to me.

Is the first game you playing or 2or 3

First one. Was like two pound in Cex. A PS3 exclusive. And it got good reviews.

Honestly I do kinda feel a little harsh, as the game is almost ten years old so I should probably cut it some slack. Graphically it's really ahead of its time - I mean seriously it looks GREAT and it isn't like graphics haven't come a huge way in the last decade, so it's testament that it still looks awesome. But the gameplay is just really dated. Or maybe it just sucks, I don't know.

I bought an old PC horror game called Harvester after a friend recommended it. Going to play it soon.

I know what you I had to complete game in co op I not a big FPS but I like sci if ones pick mine up £10 at a car boot still bran new due to it was factory warped in plastic still.

I do enjoy FPS games, but Fall of Man is slotted weirdly between the two dominate types of FPS games and it really isn't an entertaining inbetween.

So wait, to side with the Beast I have to go away and make myself evil? How is this a final decision, it takes hours to make those levels change? Why don't I get to just choose like I do in every other part of the game?

Locke · 03-20-2014, 10:41 PM

Okay so minus the stupid lack of decision at the end, inFAMOUS 2 is easily one of the best games I have ever played. A little over long, maybe? A lack of variety? Perhaps. But man was it an EPIC experience, I LOVED IT. Now to grab the expansion and maybe grab the first one off the Playstation store.

I cannot play FPSes without getting motion sickness, they all look alike to me anyways.

I think the only FPS I played and enjoyed was Star Wars Republic Commando…shame that never got a sequel after setting up for one.

Locke · 03-20-2014, 11:03 PM

Just grabbed Festival of Blood, didn't know it came with a theme!

Only downside is it is almost four gig big, so on my internet it's gonna take like 12 hours for this download to finish.

Man I really need to play it. Brought my PS3 like a year ago when Ni no kuni came out and got Infamous 2 at the same time thanks to PS+... Just haven't really touched my PS3 as life and uni got in the way...

Still with the new one out, your little review and various bits you've been posting have me super excited to play! Also have heavy rain too, so I'm kinda itching to give that a go now, but I have like a million games downloaded to play as well...

Being late to the party is awesome for how cheap stuff can be but not for the volume of stuff to play =p
