[QUOTE="rocktimusprime"][QUOTE="_AsasN_"][QUOTE="rocktimusprime"][QUOTE="_AsasN_"][QUOTE="rocktimusprime"][QUOTE="_AsasN_"][QUOTE="rocktimusprime"] I was really looking forward to this game. I wanted a Tomb Raider like adventure, and the graphics looked incredible. I remember reading the Game Informer cover story and thinking how great the game looked. When I heard there would be a demo of the game I was estatic, I was really looking forward to the game because not only did it show off the ps3's great graphic power, but I thought it could be a truely unique game.
Guess not.
First off, what is up with this not so over the shoulder, more or less looking at your shoulder view? It's not natural, it feels wonky, it just doesn't seem right.
I didn't have any issues with the shoulder view. It's fine. That's extremely picky of you to even mention that as a con.
Played COD4 recently? Why can't it aim like that, you know, crisp.
Maybe because it's NOT CoD4. The aiming is fine. I didn't have any problems with it.
The six axis elements are poorly implemented and frustrate more than they add to the game play. The camera is problematic at times, which while it may give you a great view of some terrific plants and trees, it doesnt help when you are tring to figure out where to go.
You have free control of the camera, so I can't imagine how the hell you would have trouble finding out where to go. I had absolutely no camera issues. You're comment about the Sixaxis is just ridiculous. I can't even begin to understand how you could become frustrated when all you have to is tilt the controller left or right for a few seconds.
Enemy AI is stupid, I watched as enemies shot into walls while I casually shot at them, killing them with ease. At the point after you jump off the cliff, with ancient ruins around, I ran into the middle of the map, in between the 3-4 enemies "patrolling," stod there un-noticed for 5 seconds, before the enemies decided to clumsily run for cover and shoot into the walls, not at me.
I've played the demo 4 times already, and haven't run into anything like that. The A.I. is quite good actually.
The melee attacks were cool but felt useless because you never really needed to close the gap and punch your enemies. Explosions from barrels look god awful, instead of a realistic explosion, you get a big orange puff that is supposed to be an explosion.
Again, extremely picky. They may not be the best looking explosions, but they aren't that bad, and the rest of the game is gorgeous anyway.
The good though is the game looks simply amazing. The graphics are crisp, and even when you swim in the water, your shirt becomes noticable damp. Very impressive. Too bad the gameplay isnt.
Barely AA.
Considering allyour negative comments, and the fact the demo was "highly dissapointing" to you, don't you think AA is a little much?
That was a poor excuse for a review.

so saying its barely AA, and just pointing out some flaws in the game, and specifically stating that this was MY MOST ANTICIPATED PS3 game this year.....
i cant say it was dissapointing but give credit where it's due? leave it to system wars to show that opinions are good....when they don't conflict with yours.
lol, you mentioned nothing positive except for the graphics. Graphics alone don't warrant a AA.
You should probably re-read your posts before you actually submit them.So not enjoying the games shooting perspective, melee attacks and tacked on six-axis controls are nit picky.....even though they are major elements in the game?
Of course please tell me where I said this game would flop to Lair porportions, all I did was say what dissapointed me with the games Demo. But you guys are acting like this user opinion of a demo is the end all be all review that decides your fate on SW.
Graphically the game is terrific, gameplay the game is just kinda eh, it has moments but those "nit picky," things take away more than they add. Thats how it can get AA. Dead Rising had TONS of problems and how did it do?
Maybe you should decide how you actually feel about a game before you post a review of it's demo.
The topic title says "HIGHLY DISSAPOINTING" and the review was filled with extremely picky comments. That was you who created the topic, was it not? Try to understand what I'm getting at. You're constantly changing opinion is pretty odd. I'm just trying to understand why you would talk about the game like it's just bad all around, and then call it a AA. Doesn't make any sense.i was highly dissapointed, thats how i feel, and it conflicts with your opinion so you dont like what i had to say. Of course I have stated that Ps3 owners hyped this GeoW meets Tomb Raider so maybe I expected some unrealistic hybrid super game that showed up GeOW. Look at Uncharted threads by cows, all of them seem to think this game is a GeOW killer, and always have felt that way.
So i guess to you its completely unreasonable that I can feel a game that was so highly hyped by its own fan base is very very dissapointing but still has the mechanics to be a half-way decent game.
Oh well, like I said, everyone loves opinions until they conflict with yours, welcome to SW.
Wah wah, someone had an opinion about a game I am hyping but still reserved the fact it has decent qualities so therefor e I can't flame him effectively! wah wah!
Uncharted will probably get a AA score. Cows are hyping it AAA, but its magically AA...It is hyped as a GeOW killer and I totally beleived every piece of the hype, it isnt. See my dissapointment. Doesn't mean its Lair, just means it didn't live up to the fan hype (which i totally bit on) to ME.
Like I said with fable, people pointed out GLARING flaws and missing elements from that game but it still scored very well and so well it is warrenting a sequel.
I think your just reading into my post as a total hate post when really I guess I was just trying to say how I felt the game dissapointed me.
