i just finished this yawn-tastic game after several days of on and off play. i think it's around 7.5h total for 19 chapters plus 3 tutorials. it felt kinda short. Sad

the graphic is rather bland especially at 2560x1600. the black and white view when in dart overlay mode hurts the eye after a while. Crying or Very sad

at least it's got perfect xb360 pad support. the 1st person camera when you get kneed in the face is kinda cool or pushed back first off a platform. Razz

the chip system and breaching is nice but it seemed too similar to dxhr making it appear like a cheap imitation. Rolling Eyes

any way, not much to do after you finish the campaign but replay levels to do collectibles like business cards and propaganda to complete your infobank. i'm very certain i'll not touch this game ever again. next! Very Happy

stat:

kills: 345

Which is the better version? 3DM or SR? I thought I read something about the SR version not working fully?

I know that SLI doesn't work with 3DM, but other than that, was there any differences?

It´s totally differente. Only 1 or 2 maps have some sections of the sp, the rest are new.
You unlock tech upgrades, abilities, weapon upgrades and other stuff as you progress. It´s very addictive, you should give it a try.

Unfortunately Pey, I haven't got the legitimate copy, yet. So wanted to know if I could complete the SP campaign first and then go for co-op later on. If both are completely different, then I'll start the SP campaign. How long is the SP part?

OT: Pey, your PC config is outstanding. Very Happy

Sorry, don't have reflexes for hacking 5 rockets at once. Nor speed to both stop EMP mine and then defend from rockets, in one go. At least not reliably for several rounds.

And yes, another annoying thing with this battle is that there is not a single checkpoint in it. You need to repeat easy sections over and over again (and then die on hard ones).

You honestly dont even need SLI for this game. The game isnt very demanding. With everything maxed my fps maxes out and stays constant at 120 with only ~30%/30% gpu usage

Reflexes aren't needed. Really. Just hit DART mode and you can breach the rockets effortlessly =)

I'm terribly disappointed by this game. At moments it seems it could get fun, and then come those awful boss battles, or some other stages with prolonged checkpoints, which leads to lots of reloads and lots of retries/frustration.

After getting desperate, and taking out Merit with god mode on (spent over an hour trying to take him out fairly without success), I finished the game, and promptly uninstalled it.

At least I was able to take out Agent Twins without cheats (after also spending over full hour battling them). Nope... doing two prolonged boss battles after each other is not fun.

Another thing I didn't like is that Dart slowing down of time hasn't helped me much, due to weird mouse controls. For example, in Fear games I was always able to take full advantage of slower time. But it this game, it was hardly the case. Was never able to aim properly in that mode.

Why would I want to play this game again? So I could get frustrated again with each boss battle? No, thank you very much. Game needs to be fun on first try, to make sense of playing it again.


P.S.
If only this game had manual saving... It's shame that retarded systems like checkpoints could completely ruin the game.

P.P.S.
Now, maybe, and that's big maybe, big difficultly spike on bosses and few other places could be reduced by more optimal talent selection? But then, game pretty much punishes all other players who haven't took perfect combination for survival.

The game is not bad, it just lacks content. Campaing is too short and coop has its limitations. For u$S 60sure as hell wouldnt buy it, but for 26 bucks it was a fun ride.

I know I missed the boat on complaining about this piece of shit, but anyways ... what a piece of fucking shit. I almost quit and deleted the first time I saw something about hitting 'X' to do something (even though I was using M/K) and even the mapped button did fuck all. I read like 10 fucking reviews of the PC version without a mention that the port was so half-assed. Fuck.

that's because most major non-pc centric review sites don't even bother playing the PC version, at least not last i checked, gametrailers.com openly admitted that they only ever have PC footage when it's a PC exclusive or they're doing a "pretty rare comparison across all 3 for graphics purposes" that is a direct but possibly paraphrased quote of shane satterfield in an episode of invisible walls.

i will though add that they also said for the most part if a title comes to all 3 they usually only recieve a review copy for xbox360 or PS3 depending on which the publisher favors if either, so it's not always something that they have much control over, then again it's not like they're hurting for money so bad they could go out and buy a copy like the rest of us if they only get a review copy for one system out of three.

Not only that, but hammering the E button becomes standard for so many tasks in that game, it gets REALLy damned annoying after a while. In the end I stayed and finished because the story/atmosphere/setting was good.. or at least above-average.. and you can see little glimmers of what the game could have been like. It was just shit overall though.
