Just picked i up from my local EB GAMES store
And its good. The game gets very repetive but its cool. Shooting things up gets tired after a while but luckily you got some awsome powers and stuff.
The one i got right now, but i hear theres others, is where u can sneak around on the ground and pop up and just tear guys apart. Im not a story guy so i havent really been paying attention to it, but the cutscenes are awsome. There Gears of War like in the sense that they arent just story, they do have some great action in it, and they look much better then the actual game, which is saying something.
I havent played very much of the game, ive been playing for about 2 hours, but im not all that great.
Out of 10, SO FAR, id give it an 8/10. But im assuming it gets a lot better because you get more powers and stuff. Oh, and the guns are sick. BUt i really dont like how the guy holds the guns, and his hands are always moving to pull off these sick animations where u blow guys brains out. Its annoying but its worth it cause the animations are sick
anyway, if you got any questions ill try to answer them. I dont think anyone will be dissapointed at all, its a real rush. But dont expect to be blown out of your seat or anything. There are moments though. REALLY cool moments that i shouldnt spoil unless u guys want me to... cause im dying to tell somebody...
anyway, ask away

One. If he lived on the east coast.He didnt just get it, the store have been closed for almost 3 Hours

Second his review contains false statements, and lastly, a gamercared would be helpful

people don't seem to understand that while today was the ship date, a few stores close the the shiping warehouse did get the game today thus people have it. Just go to the mygamercard.net leaderboards, theres close to 1000 people with it already there.

All FMV are real-time, not CG Cutscenes

It did come out today I just got back from picking up my copy. I'll go throw itin and make sure I'm onLive too - just to show any skeptics. My tag is the same as my name on this board - DataDream - Give me a couple minutes though. :)

Also i live about 20 minutes from the MS campus - not sure if that really makes a difference, i know it has in the past but...

It did arrive today though at my local Game Crazy - I had preordered it so I was pretty surprised when they called to tell me it was in. I suspect that MS actually shipped the game on Saturday (the 23rd) because they knew there was no way for it to arrive on Sunday (the 24th). This allowed the game to arrive on the release date - today! :)

Also I was happy to see the game supports 1080p native (more and more of the new releases are) - it looks absolutely phenomenal.

Well I've only just started playing it - but rest assured it is available at least in some areas. Gotta get back to playing.

PEACE!!! :)

Good to hear your thoughts on the game. I was really stoked about it before, but it sounds like the gameplay, while fun, isn't perfect and since the storyline isn't that long, it will probably end up being a rental for me.

Liars need to go to Canada

Haha..Canada.

Anyways, Mostly people aren't angry at you, dodgerdog, but a little confused because shipping dates and release dates and in-store dates have gotten really iffy lately. It's kind of a shame. I was thinking about picking up the game myself; it looks nice. Have fun playing it.

Why would anyone doubt that he doesn't have it? The game ships today and loads of stores already have them in stock. One of my friends bought the game yesterday from Target or something.

Theres a chance he is actually telling the truth. Perhaps he is with another gaming site/magazine/techshow/other thing, or he culd have preordered it (I preordered SC: Double Agent and got it a day before it hit shelves) or he culd actually work at starbreeze or take2! Doubt the latter, but who knows.

Somehow you guys missed my post - but HE IS NOT LYING.

I just loaded the game while on live so go check my gamertag if you want proof the game has hit shelves (at least where i live).

Profile - gamertag is DataDream same as on here.

Game is crazy -I do have a question in the audio options - what are LFE Cutoff options and the other LFE option do? I've never seen "LFE" as an audio option before and am not sure what it is talking about.

Like it was previously stated some stores get the game in and sell it on the ship date. Some hold it or don't recieve it until the day after. It is very possible that he aquired the game. I have done it numerous times just by asking the people at the store. Sometimes they will go in the back and open the box sometimes they won't. It happens so get over it.

Cool thanks man - Also thanks for the Jennie tip. They are tricky with the acheivments on this game - did you see under acheivments where it lists what to do to get acheivments - numbers 13 though 20 just say secret! LOL Guess they really want you to dig around in the game. :)

LOL - yeah I don't know why but it is WAY louder than Oblivion which is what i was playing earlier today. I mean WAY louder!!!

:)

I love how on the custom control settings under the options menu they have blood all over the 360 controller too - they really went all out on the details with this game.

Hey man - i see you're playing too. Have you figured out what those LFE settings in the audio options do? I don't know what LFE settings are. I know one is "cutoff" can't remember at the moment what the other LFE setting was.

Anyway - do you know what they do?

Ok one last post before getting back to playing - though i think I'll be on Oblivion still tonight. Love how the Darkness is looking but I'm just so totally addicted to Oblivion still! :P

I finally added my gamertag - don't laugh about my low achievment score - i play ALLOT offline. :)

Peace - and have a great night everybody!

Ok - what a pain - i can't get my gamertag to display - it shows in my signature under my prefernces but doesn't show up on the posts. AAAaargh. Oh well - I'll get it on here later. :)

what are LFE Cutoff options and the other LFE option do? I've never seen "LFE" as an audio option before and am not sure what it is talking about.

DataDream

LFE cutoff is at what audio frequency the game will start sending the bass to the subwoofer. If your speakers are small you'll want a higher setting and if your speakers are large you'll want a lower setting. If you aren't playing the game in surround or you don't have a subwoofer then I don't think it should make a difference, but an audiophile may be able to prove me wrong on this. Just fiddle around with it and see if you notice a difference and if you do, select something that sounds good. As for the other option, I can't help you out on that because I don't have The Darkness, or even a 360 (yet ;)).
