it's more a tech demo than most, so basically crysis. The story is fun but it's hard to get into because they keep hopping you all over the place. The game was obviously dumbed down for...ya...you guessed it. None the less, even with my high standard in games, I even enjoyed this for quite a few hours.
I will give UBI credit for one thing that a lot of dev's have been failing with, they pulled off the horse riding very well.
None the less, I'd give it maybe a 7, a give it a try score, you'll either be amused then get bored with it, or you'll just be bored with it. But the first few hours are rewarding. |

Tech demo for sure, but this tech demo actually impressed me. The wall climbing and jumping on rooftops feels so natural. Remember the days where you had to be on that precise pixel, or the just won't be a success? Well, here I just tap the button and point to the general location, and all is well.
I hope they use that engine for the next Prince of Persia games.

 Good is in the eye of the beholder. To me, it's a great game. |
I think he means good as in Grim fandango, Tomb raider, Half Life, Deus ex etc
The benchmark games are getting further and further apart in release. We get one every 2-3 years now instead of 1 every year or so. And to make things worse, we now dont get full package games often either (games which have awesome graphics, awesome story and awesome gameplay a'la half life). We just get games which have one of the components and lack everything else, such as Crysis and its graphics, Bioshock and its story etc
The next big games are going to be Half life 3, Starcraft 2, POSSIBLY fallout 3 but we will see if the new devs are gonna fuck it up.

I hate HL. Seriously.  Can't pinpoint why exactly, but I hate it. So, again, good is in the eye of the beholder. And I do think this game is a benchmark game. Maybe not for its story or AI, but for platforming and open world.
And BioShock had a bad story but nothing else? Buy some glasses (strange because you managed to see Crysis graphics)... |

The thing which stops me from going back to the freaking game is the freaking cutscenes.
Can't believe the idiocy of UBISOFT, they better fix this in a patch or something, but then again UBI dosen't really release patches.

Keep on topic, no HL2 chat. Talk about HL2 in the thread that exists for it already.

I was surprised how good the controls were with keyboard + mouse. I think they are better than with a pad.

I love it on logitech rumplepad 2 but this piece of shit doesn't even have the analog sticks, imho a gamepad without analog sticks is fucking useless play with keybord or buy a proper one.

Just finished the game and i have to say it's one of the best experiences i've had on the PC. I can't wait for the sequel.

Hi, i know a new thread was created for the black bars subject but this is a different message on the subject. Sorry if it was posted before.
Someone found a workaround.
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13547
All you haters out there (yes, that's you LeoNatan and your minions) will have to find something else to hate, besides people with 4:3 monitors. But don't despair, maybe it wont work for everyone.

Wow, the black bar fix!!!  no question who gets the noble prize this year. To bad it doesn't work on dx10 but what do I care, I hooked up my pc to a 94' plasma and there are no black bars there dude, just shitty Arabian ones where you drink goats milk.

And why should they? They intended the game to be played as 16:9 game. You don't like it? Don't play the game.

yayaya
I kinda agree, although i don't think that this game is noticeably better played in 16:9 and implementing other ratios is probably quite easy...
BUT we should not continue to walk down this dark path again or soon we'll see a new thread with the title:
| Quote: | | TeH B² Strikes Back! |
or maybe this discussion will just be appended to the other extracted B² discussion, but that would be less frightening so lets not imagine that.
