This game looks pretty cool, and I'm not a fps guy.
Anyone else going for a four pack ?

Sabin, give us your drunken impressions already! Then do sober ones tomorrow and compare. If they're the same, the game is made of pure win.

Vryder, post a mini review dammit!
You've been playing it for ~3 hours now! 
EDIT: Nope, scratch that.

I'm actually really enjoying the gunplay.
Tutorial could really use some work. I've no idea how to get more money apart from killing enemies.

So.. What's up with the research? Is there a cooldown after you've finished something before you can research something else?

None of the tutorials refers this?
This game needs one of those good old manuals.

Well, it tells you how to research, and that works. But not all the time for some reason.

Some mini-reviews from steam:
| Quote: | I have bought and played a few hours of the game and I have to admit it's disappointing. While the game seems to have a lot of potential with many different ways to upgrade your character - guns seem to be pretty much overpowered compared to melee (Haven't tried PSI too much because it requires some money to set up), also, the gun and swordplay just feel wrong. You don't feel the contact of the melee weapons and shooting enemies usually just result in an unsatisfying cloud of blood. Most combat I've done so far was at big distances because you're usually noticed from afar, so walking around with an assault/sniper rifle makes the game really easy even in hardcore difficulty.
About the missions - they're just boring. You're put in a zone which has some side missions and main objectives, most of which are initiated by a f****** NPC non-voiced chat, and the missions are all the different shades of "hack this, kill that".
Again, I played for about 2-3 hours, but the game feels unpolished and non interesting. For all it's RPG elements, eventually it plays like a weak shooter.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, it might be my stupidity, but I couldn't figure out a way to switch between weapons other than scrolling the mousewheel. So when I played with dual swords and dual pistols and wanted to switch to the grenade I had to go through 4 variations of pistol/sword wielding combo - This could have been a nice feature if I was able to actually quickly switch to different setups with number keys. |
| Quote: | It's a horrible game, unworthy of the comparisons to Deus Ex (Even comparisons to Deus Ex:Invisible War would be generous).
Wish I hadn't bought it, even at the discounted price. The game has no polish to it whatsoever, it expects you to know things in advance (For example: the first mission starts out in tunnels, you're told you will be engaging enemies up ahead, and are given an armoury. If you equip yourself for confined tunnel-combat, you're going to die. The first squad of enemies you engage are at long range and spot you coming a mile off)
You get 10 lives (presumably you can get more later) but you ressurect either exactly, or pretty near where you fell - so if you're next to a guy with a shotgun...
and the game doesn't recognise deaths by fall damage. it says you're killed by something "Unexplained"
No. Polish. Whatsoever. it feels like playing a beta of a mod of a game based on the Unreal2 engine.
eugh. That'll teach me to fall for a decent trailer and hype. I would recommend you either pay twice as much for Human Revolution, or buy the Deus Ex pack. |
1 and 2 are still amazing.

Played it for a few hours….
Well…. Hmm….
It's certainly unique - but not necessarily in a good way. It's not good in terms of presentation, and it completely fails to draw you in for the first vital hour.
The HUD is clumsy and scales poorly - as in it looks wrong no matter what resolution you choose. The RPG stuff seems interesting, but incredibly opaque. They shower you in stats - which would seem to be a dream for us enthusiasts, except you have no idea what anything does at first. Yes, they all have tooltips - but it's simply too much to take in. There are too many attributes - and they've made some of the classic design mistakes with them. The variety between numbers is too great - taking away the weight of each point. Also, my sense is that there are too many redundancies in the design - because for a game like this, there's no way I can imagine every one of them weighing roughly the same. That's what you want to do, when you design something like this.
The visual style is…. interesting. It looks a lot better than Half Life 2 does today, if you ask me. The 3-4 levels I've seen have all been HUGE in terms of scale. That bodes well for future levels, because I'm kinda tired of corridor shooters. But they've also been mostly empty and though it's far too early to say, they don't seem to emphasize exploration in this game - which is a very sad thing indeed.
Exploration is my favorite aspect of the Deus Ex games - and I think we all thought of DE when we saw this. The videos seemed to be a mixture of various styles - but I guess Deus Ex must have meant different things to different people.
I generally "get" a game very quickly these days, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they wanted to accomplish here. It doesn't seem like a traditional shooter at all, even though shooting is obviously a big part of the game. It doesn't seem like an exploration game, and it doesn't seem like an RPG. It's like they took a lot of elements from Deus Ex and games like Bloodlines - without really knowing what to do with them. I'm hoping it's just because it's too strange for me to guage - and that in the end it will all make sense.
For now, it seems more like a VERY odd hybrid with a lot of emphasis on team-based multiplayer mechanics. I love cooperative games - and I suppose that's how this will work best. But I doubt I can convince my friends to buy it, so I can't really test it that way. But, the way you respawn instantly on the map - and the way you "arm yourself" at the beginning of each map is very much like a multiplayer shooter. If it had been an exploration game or a more traditional RPG - you wouldn't have had access to what seems like most weapons at the very beginning. That takes away a lot of the joy of exploring and scavenging enemes for loot.
The good news, apart from the interesting visual style, is that the combat feel is solid. The weapons feel good and "different" based on how they have a variety of scopes and sights. If you're into multiplayer shooters - I expect this will be a very interesting game for you. I never played Shadowrun (the failed shooter) - but I guess this game is somewhat similar in certain ways.
I'll report back when I've played some more - but it will probably be a while. I'm in the middle of a KotOR playthrough - which I'm enjoying. There's nothing about E.Y.E. that's particularly alluring to me, sadly, so I'll let it rest for a while.

From GAF:
| Quote: | Hey everyone, I'm skacky and I'm one of the developers. I'm glad you like the game and I hope you'll have fun discovering more stuff in the future!
We're currently working on a patch that should resolve the unforeseen bugs and issues players encountered while playing. If you have any bug report to do, feel free to do it as I'll be checking the thread regularly. 
Right now our biggest issue is the crashes related to 32 bits systems. That should be fixed pretty soon and it's our priority.
Thank you again! |

Personally, after an hour of play, I'd like a SAVE FEATURE. I don't like this reliance on auto-saving :\

The game is said to be selling very very well. To explain:
Yesterday it was the launch day for both E.Y.E and Chantelise. Chantelise's devs have said it sold fantastically for the 1st day, and currently their game is #5 in the Top Sellers list.
On the other hand E.Y.E is currently #1!
Which led Chantelise's devs to say: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=29704915&postcount=7391
| Quote: | | If the numbers we're seeing with Chantelise are any indication, the guys at Streum-On must be doing fucking backflips in their office or something, they're making an absolutely obscene amount of money. |

Can we get some actual numbers, or are those visible only to the game authors?

I think someone mentioned here that the game was way too dark, disabling color correction seems to fix it as I have just discovered.

Rephrased and expanded: It's up to each individual developer/publisher to reveal numbers, some do pretty often, eg Team Meat, others never do.
But there's nothing in their contract that prevents them from sharing the numbers.

More:
| Quote: | - Is it normal that my character sometimes suicides after failing a hack? It's a pain to randomly have to repeat a mission just because I like to hack everything in sight...
- This happens when your Cyber Brain gets melted because the enemy firewall's attack was too powerful.
It is a bit too unforgiving right now and we're planning on perhaps nerfing it a bit, or putting something explaining what happened. |
| Quote: | We are aware the possession controls are a bit clunky right now. We may improve them in a future patch but it's not one of our priorities for now. That being said, it's not impossible for us to tweak the whole thing in the future.
However the fact that it targets you is rather unsettling, I'm adding this to our bugtracking list. |
| Quote: | - I still want to link numbers to my weapons..
- This weapon linking issue is something we'll be working on for the next patch. |
| Quote: | To people experiencing crashes with the game:
There is a temporary solution while we are working on the patch. In the OPTIONS menu, go to the GAME tab and uncheck ULTRA VIOLENCE.
Hopefully this should fix the crashing issues. If the game still crashes despite this, please report and don't forget to post your system specs.
Thank you again! |
