Try the trial,buy it.Whatever you want.

Discuss about it in this thread.

luckily im holding off on ME3.

So i'll see the reviews and determine a purchase.

I don't think so, at least not when it comes out on PSN. I haven't really seen anything on this game in a long time. I kinda lost interest.

I probably will. I will try the demo first of corse but I like what they are trying to do. Lat time I liked what they were trying to do and bought a game without trying it first I got stuck with Hydrophobia.

Not right away nope.. i will wait on a price drop to be honest since im saving money

I'm interested in the game, but now I have to read some reviews first.

Not right away, but I like it... Never really saw anything on this game. I'll read into it and decide. Obviusly will be getting ME3 first though.

Hmm, it's got an 83@MC with 4 reviews(not counting IGN)

I can't remember the last time I read an IGN review that I agreed with so I'll give the game the benefit of the doubt.

i went to metacrtic and this games scores are all over the place.

strategy informer gave it a 90 which is pretty cool if it is getting judged by strategy game standards.

they turned into uncharted concrete jungle to appeal to a wider audience

so no

I looks horrible and it's already starting to get horrible reviews. SAGE_OF_FIRE

I'll wait for it to release on PC. That auto-aim will just kill the game for me.

Looks like an uncharted game if it was made on a budget of about a hundred bucks.

Nope, no PC version so....nope.

Glad to see it did well though....but it makes me wonder if it could have done better with more teams and a bigger budget and it was not just a downloadable title.

I would like it from what I've read so far, but I'm waiting for a PC version.

Looks like a solid new IP, but it's not for me. Hope it does well though.

It's on XBL.

Just played it for a bit and I'm quite liking it.

Looks really good. Between this and Journey it seems like 2012 is gonna be a great year for downloadable titles.

They won't release a hard copy of this game?

No not getting it i dont like the gameplay.

Played the trial last night and was really taken with the bleak atmosphere and pure survival mechanics. Survival games like this that require planning and clever resource management are in short supply these days and this game delivers those aspects really well. Despite being a bit rough around the edges technically, the game had me hooked from the start. I'll probably go ahead and unlock the full game tonight. Seems like a hell of a deal at 1200 points.

Sounds like a plan. If you don't mind me asking, how long did the first play through take you?

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"] Nice. I finished it last night and I can't wait to start on Survivor.It will be even better.freedomfreak

For the price, I can't ask for more. I have (regretfully) bought $60.00 games with campaigns roughly the same length. I just love the bleak atmosphere of desperation and the pure survival mechanics. That is enough to warrant the price for me, because true survival games are a rarity these days. Thanks for the info.

I haven't played much of it yet, but I like it so far. The only thing that annoys me is that in certain situations you're more or less forced to shoot a bullet despite the game consistently telling you to do the opposite.

Right near the start of the game, you come across three guys, two of whom have guns. I surprise-killed one of the gun wielding ones and as soon as I did that, the other gun-toting chap opened fire on me and I had to waste a bullet killing him.

There's a few minor niggles here and there but aside form them, I'm loving everything about the game, especially the atmosphere.

Yup, i will, together with Journey.

[QUOTE="balfe1990"]

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"] About 4 hours.

But it's definitely worth another run on Survival mode.I think the game will shine on that difficulty.Highest amount of bullets I had on normal was 5 and that was only once.Can't imagine how it will be on Suvival.

Well I'm glad to hear that. It just made the first section of the game pretty frustrating when I was confronted with multiple enemies and really didn't want to use my gun...

Also, not a fan of the retry system. I understand why it's there and it certaionly increases the tension somewaht but it doesn't really leave a lot of room for trial and error which is generally how I play games. I like to test the waters but the retry systems punishes you for that should you die doing that. It really just forces you down a certain path where you take few risks for fear of starting back at the last save point.

Hopefully when I complete it there'll be some sort of unlimited retry mode but somehow I doubt it...
