Binary Domain for PC

[Wirdschowerdn]

Binary Domain gets PC release for April 6th.

The better Mass Effect, or just typical console popamole? Any of you played the console versions, 'cause I heard it's actually pretty good.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

It looked a bit "So bad it's good" from what I saw of it in Glorious Giantbombdotcom Quicklook. Big Bo is finer than all the Mass Effect party members in the world!

 

[Angthoron]

Huh, so they are porting to PC? I guess I'll have to try it out, if done right (haha) it could be pretty cool.

 

[Metro]

Looks like some mediocre budget console co-op shooter. Maybe a step above crap like the Scourge Project but nothing I'd pay more than $5 for at most.

But you can fuck the Chinese girl

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Isn't this the one where the approved answer to some chick criticizing you is acknowledging the criticism, which is the guy hilariously shouting YEAH.

 

[Metro]

But you can fuck the Chinese girl

Is that a QTE?

 

[Medic]

You cannot fuck a Chinese girl or anyone else for that matter, actually Binary Domain is a p. cool squad shooter with a nice story and well done character exposition (for a shooter). Combat is really well one, there are plenty different robots to fight, each has unique weak spots and good AI.

I dunno, looks boring

dunno if it's damage from having played two ME games but the dialogue and cinematic shit is pleasant

 

[Kosmonaut]

The game is on pre-order on Steam. Just a few quick questions: Does it have cover system à la Mass Effect? Does it have regenerative health? Didn't watched the video, can't stand the fucking annoying pricks.

Edit: Watched a little bit. It seems that it has ME like cover system. Sigh... And I was interested in the game's concept.

 

[Medic]

It does have cover system and regenerative health + medkits if you take too much damage and can't get up then.

Seeing how you played and finished it, is it worth actually buying?

 

[Medic]

I had nine hours of fun with this game, so yes. Although play the demo, see if you have no objections to the combat and squad interactions. If yes, then buy it, otherwise jut rent it.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

If there's a retail version, some Cdkey provider should offer it for cheap.

Is the game at least challenging?

can you fuck things up out of cover for prolonged periods of time? how is the variety in the way things die? open-ended?

what the fuck is wrong with you, this is a TPS with a cover system and regenerating health, I don't see how someone could make it more challenging without making it less fun, isn't the point of those games to massacre shit while avoiding being vulnerable?

 

[Angthoron]

And are the promised squad interactions non-retarded?

It's pretty challenging on the highest difficulty, enemies are somewhat aggressive forcing you out of cover. There are some fast charging enemies designed for that.
There are some retarded boss fights where you have to shoot about gazillions bullets, but the bosses themselves are nicely designed and massive (well, I like massive robots).

Depends on enemies you fight at that point, some are killable from one cover spot, out force you out.
You can disable robots with headshots, they usually start to fight each other after that. You can destroy their legs, they start crawling and you can destroy their arms, if they held a weapon in that arm then they switch to melee mode. If they are crawling an you step too close to them, some of the robots will grab you and try to detonate a grenade killing themselves and you.

And are the promised squad interactions non-retarded?

Interactions are somewhat retarded, there is a lot of japanese cheese in conversations, but I still liked BD characters much more than in ME for example. Except for the main hero, he is a jerk.

You have to remember that it's a shooter with some nice bonus mechanics, so don't count on some incredible character exposition or complicated interactions.

Well fuck, I'm sold.

See BioWare? That's how you do animations.

 

[Outlander]

Sounds like Gears of War + Blade Runner + I, Robot.

Watching.

 

[Angthoron]

Preordered this on Steam. Will post my thoughts once I start playing.

 

[Forest Dweller]

And are the promised squad interactions non-retarded?

Yeah, this. It's what they hyped about the game.

Could be The Thing 2.0. Hope it's at least better developed than that, though.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Full version is out.

Someone also found the install link for the demo: steam://install/210310

Press X to say 'Fuck!'.
Gonna install it the first thing I do when I get home.
