god damn how i hate this console shit full of retard friendly icons, enemy indicators and shit

Looks like a poor man's version of Hitman: Blood Money. The AI does appear braindead too, they don't seem to use any tactics. Enemy icons through walls and mini-games also look incredibly gay. Just another boring new game, NEXT.

Animations are worse. Voice acting makes me gag. Graphics are better than I thought. Obsidian apparently still haven't learned what a game camera is, or how CQC works. Though the latter two could just be a fucked up guy playing it.

Graphics whores. Name one fully 3d RPG where the animation is any good?

Also he appears to be attempting to glitch it intentionally.

As to the VO they are decent enough from what I've seen.

EDIT: WHAT THE FUCK IS THEIR HAND TO HAND COMBAT SYSTEM BASED ON FUCKING NARUTO?!

Maybe you should, because sarcasm is a fine argument. Or maybe it doesn't exist in Russia. /shrug

The only thing I'm defending is one person's first hand experience of a game. As opposed to another person's suspicion with no experience with the game.

If you cite me a source that also has first hand experience with the game, and admits that the shooting is like ME1, then you have an argument.

Otherwise, I am simply analyzing the validity of sources of information, and first hand feedback, no matter how unreliable, is more valid than one Russian's suspicions.

The retarded AI pretty much qualifies as a bug.

Sad truth. I wish gamers would realize that good animation trumps high polys/high textures/bloom in terms of graphics quality.

Hacking mini-games, I don't think we'll ever be rid of them.

Trying to use martial arts when surrounded by guys with guns?

Does not turn out like the movies, as this guy just found out.

Looks like you were so blinded by fanboy rage that you didn't notice that Chateaubryan is just retelling what he read on some forum and thats why there can be different interpretations of his post, he just gives a quick summary of impressions of other people. Fucking fanboys.

As I recall it, they took in a judo expert of some sort for the martial arts stuff, so it should be based on that.

And those impressions are first hand experiences that he summarized. Read carefully: Actual. Experience. With. The. Game. And when the targeted subject is an objective observable phenomenon, not a subjective opinion, then you trust that first hand experience unless you have actual objective observable data that it former is wrong.

So, yes, I was wrong that it's not just "one person's first hand experience," but MULTIPLE first hand experiences.

And yes, there can be different interpretations, but any interpretation of "taking 2 seconds to aim" is different from ME1, where the time taken to aim has zero effect on accuracy.

Your "interpretation" is that he is wrong in that observation, which thus is not an interpretation but a denial with the weak support of a retarded suspicion.

The only thing I don't like so far is, that sneaking works as invisible spell and you can run around in front of the enemies. That's a real no-no for me.

Beside this, I've bought the game as well, just waiting for it to get shipped now.

Those are first hand expirience you did not read yourself and have no idea what they are actually about, you stupid fanboy.

Supposed first impressions or skyway-like clairvoyance, which is a better discussion topic and why

oh my fucking god just play the fucking game motherfuckers then get back to us.

YOU CANNOT DOUBT A GAME WILL BE AWESOME BEFORE YOU PLAYED IT, I AM REPORTING YOU TO THE MODERATOR FOR NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR!

Feel free to point out where I said you can't doubt it will be awesome, bro

It will be a litte hard to do since I was just pointing out that calling someone a fanboy for wanting to talk about someone's first impressions instead of your skywayish antics is p. retarded

then again, Hamster

Is it really so hard to try to understand what the discussion was about before jumping in to defend the new shit from Obsidian?

I mean, shit, I know we were all paying attention to your cool stories before we knew about someone's first impressions, but you need to understand the other kids need attention too

specially if there's a possibility they have something to say other than generic raeg

Have you actually played an Ultima game (that was between III & IX)? They tend to be FAR superior to anything Bioware has ever done.

Only played IV. I don't remember anything about the story. Something about virtues and stuffies.

When someone passes along a simple and specific objective observation such as "you need to take several seconds to aim" you think I have to doubt there was mistake in translation? It is not a complex concept or a subjective opinion he is passing along, but a simple observation.
