I have a feeling Haze will be one of those games that will have so many flaws and people will claim is garbage but at the same time you just cant stop playing, thats the impression i got from the demo.. that even though the game has A LOT of flaws and is pretty mediocre to say the least, but just something about it that i just cant stop playing.. anyone else think Haze will be one of those love/hate type games?!

The Haze demo was severely underwhelming, frankly I just wanted to finish it so I could be up to speed on the game, because I wanted to go back to the Dirt demo was fantastic.

Thats how I felt about Doom 3. Sure it had bland level design and enemies, and I ran in to several glitches where I got stuck on level geometry, and the physics for tossing grenades were INSANELY bad... but I just couldn't stop playing it.

I never understood the hate for Doom 3 either, I loved the hell out of it. Same goes for Quake 4.

What's hurting haze the most is their horrible marketing.

Seriously, Frag dolls? Horrible british Acting, terrible pushing of a "new game mechanic"

Im actually hoping its good, but idk, it just looks so C grade.

Haze to me looks like the most average game ever created... a generic, run-of-the-mill shooter that's neither great nor horrible.

Average.

I think people just expected too much due to the insane amount of hype and thus were let down. The game had flaws, as well as lackluster AI, but the graphics were breathtaking for it's time (still looks really good by todays standards) and it was a REAL creepy game. If it did one thing right, it would have to be it's great atmosphere.

Atleast haze has almost zero hype.

Despite their terrible adds and comercials lol.

So if its good, it still has the chance too be a sleeper hit, but im betting its not.

Your topic line made me think of the staple of the game, nectar. It's a drug in the game that heightens the Mantel soldiers' senses.

Doom 3 was awesome, I've wanted to try Quake 4 but never got around to it. Sometimes average games are just a lot of fun. My favorite FPS last gen was Red Faction 2. Average across the board but me and my friends couldn't put it down.

To be honest I thought tenchu z was awesome. I love the way they made u feel like a real ninja, because ninjas are all about stealth kills and that is what tenchu z brang. Not only that but u can go online and play with others so the game was really overlooked and underrated in my opinion. Just as the same case for crackdown, it got alot bad reviews but I seriously loved how they put a GTA environment and made guys with super powers to just go all nutty tossing cars, jumping far distances, man the game just was so much fun.

Average.

Most average? I suppose that makes grammatical sense, but I don't know if you'd really call something more average than something else...

The great atmosphere, killer weaponry and insane character design made whatever flaws it had transparent for me. I will never forget when I finally found the exit from the ruins towards the end, only to realize that I was coming out underneath an ungodly huge and completely bad ass looking demon that made me feel like an ant. Definitely one of those definitive "Oh my God" moments that I had last gen.

to not be able to stop playing means you have to start playing, which involves buying the game. and i can think of many other games id rather spend the cash on

I played Die Hard Vendetta which was amazingly bad yet hilariously good at the same time, slow motion, dodgy classical music in slow motion and bad blood, but it was so damn funny I couldn't help myself!

The hype train has fallen off track. It's funny that it was in everyones list of exclusive titles for PS3 to look out for. I was never a fan of this game from the first screenshot I saw. The demo was horrible.

Just another shallow typical shooter. Guess I wont be buying it...back to Bioshock I go for now.

Most will probably never even start playing it to get the chance to stop. So, you are right, they wont be able to stop playing.
