Has Mirror's Edge Gone On To Become A Hipster Cult Favorite?

all this outcry about mirror's edge 2 being canned. where did all these mirrors edge fans come from? where were all of you when the first game came out and bombed?

I have a feeling mirror's edge is going to become the next 'beyond good & evil'in that its going to become an obscure, critically-acclaimed title that's a hipster favorite

cult classic would be a good word to describe it, but not hipster games lol. I like ME and want a sequel. As for the other games on that list, I just bought Minecraft which isnt really a cult classic if you consider that it has sold about 1.6 million copies.

Hipsters? What decade are we in again? Anyways Mirror's Edge never bombed in it's fans eyes. It was criminally underrated.mrmusicman247

This, it was a fun experience that despite its problems brought the platformer into the CoD generation.

I just hope someone picks up on the idea as it was an incredible experience.

It's still in first person view, so unique or not, it's really just an unplayable game.

maybe i should give this game another chance, it didn't sit well with me my first experience playing it.

Mirrors Edge has issues and is far from perfect, but is an immersive and unique experience that has SO much potential, which is why I want a sequel badly.

To be honest, I never understood all the love for it. I thought it was a terrible game. And I also don't understand where all these "fans" came from. When the game came out, there wasn't much praise for it, why is there all the praise now?TheArGaia

I thought it was a decent game, but definitely nothing too special, the 1st person parkour element was interesting, though nothing else really was. If you want a really good platformer, look no further than littlebigplanet...lol

I really dont know what happened with ME. The demo released and it was hyped like crazy, everyone loved it. Thought it was going to be the next Bioshock in terms of a demo generating alot of hype but then the game released and it seemed like most people hated it. I loved it.

I do agree with you in that where the hell have all these fans suddenly came from?

Mirror's Edge was a great game. It just didn't sell because combat was difficult. If combat were easier, the game would have sucked, but it probably would have sold better.PurpleMan5000

hoestly mirrors edge wasnt all that great, kinda boring. so no, they did the right thing by canning the sequel.HailCaesarHail

One of those awesome games I overlooked at the time, and has fallen off my radar.

I'm gonna go bargain bin shopping and buy it tonight.

Also, how can you make a "Hipster gamer" poll without including Legend Of Zelda? :S Those massive D-bags are the reason I hate that series now.

Just like Beyond Good and Evil it is an OK game. I don't go mad over it, I found Beyond Good and Evil almost child like in difficulty, you can't fail in it, if you die you just roll over stand up and get going again it's even worse then that Prince of persia game. I didn't see all the character depth they are talking about, I mean there is a bit where orphens are getting stolen and jade does an unhappy face and suddenly it's an Oscer winning performance. The game did have character however, it was compelling to complete and a pretty decent rental.

Mirrors Edge was fantastic gameplay, loved the pace of the game, hated the cutscenes, so cheap and tacky.

Well jeez you took that wrong haha, it's a good series and the actual fans are gamers, but I hate the hipsters who think it's sent from god, and yet have never played any other game. They played Ocarina Of Time for 2 hours and suddenly know everything about the game. THOSE are the D-bags I'm talking about. We all know of one.

Never played ME, but Still Alive was an awesome song.

What's a Hipster?

Im a Mirrors edge fan, and what the hell is this?

The surge of fans is likely through the gap of time with steady price drops. Patiently awaiting actual good news possibly concerning a sequel, and fixing some of the problems the, otherwise amazing, first entry had.

I thought that was Call of Duty.

I'd say Minecraft, I think Mirror Edge is such a bad game, it's so boring, only good thing is the art style and graphics and even the former gets tedious half way through. It's short, and even then I found it hard to keep playing it.

Really, if they addressed all of the complaints, the second game wouldn't be as good. The combat portions were weak, but the whole point of the game was to avoid combat. Improving the gunplay would do nothing but make the game easier, thus giving you less incentive to run. The only thing that really needed fixed with the first game was the incredibly short length and poor story.PurpleMan5000

I enjoyed the hell out of Mirrors Edge and I am not a hipster

Amazing graphics on PC btw

for a game that focused on running and leaping from building to building, it sure had alot of objects to get in my way. plus, you were at the mercy of your enimes if you got stuck... a meh game with a really cool concept. if there's a mirrors edge 2, I hope they can make it shine.

EDIT: also I can't wait to play beyond good and evil when it comes to the PSN. it looks really cool :)

Bombed? Do you mean critically? If not then Didn't Mirror's Edge have impressive sales? I remember reading that it had sold quite well--maybe I'm wrong.

What are u talking about?

those are all just REALLY good games some of which are under rated. idk what the point of this post is.

I though it was excellent.. although short and the replayability isn't there unless you are into speed running. It was definitley fun.

Lol @ hipster games. I don't think I've ever run across a "hipster" game and if one does exist it would probably be a fixed gear bike simulator.AcidSoldner

Hey, fixed gear's are awesome! lol

Never played ME, but Still Alive was an awesome song.

one_plum

Yeah... I thought the game sucked but that song is good. Infact it's the best thing about the game!!!

you know, i played the demoand loved it, but i never got around to buying, or even renting it. its at a great price, and there is no reason not to get it, its just that i just forget to pick it up lol.
