Thanks for answering.

Then I think that oddly enough this game doesn't let you kill humans except if they are foes (and attack on sight) -- because the name of the character when he is down on the ground never shows, I got tired spinning the camera around trying to hit him in any possible way...

This is a tremendous let down for me, one of the things I like the most about these devs' games is the total freedom -- and my chars are often the burglar/serial killer type... :D

I know that in any previous Piranha Bytes games, in order to kill someone you have to strike a final blow after the person is down; however, no matter what, this doesn't work in Risen 2, I keep hitting the mouse buttons and any key combinations and all my character does is keep "attacking the air"... I have googled it forever and can't find a single word about it, is my game bugged? No pdf manual in my Steam folder either.

I actually find ONE thing about it; I read somewhere: "Note: You have to attack them again, when they have been struck down, to actually kill them": well, like I said, here it doesn't work.

I am incredibly sucked in by the game, but I just HAVE TO kill "a generic character" in order to do something unnoticed and am feeling like an idiot, stuck for hours trying to figure out this simple issue.

You just can't kill anyone in the game or what?

PLEASE lend a hand. Thanks in advance.

thats actually a nice price for that how long is thi sgoing on?

Just a heads-up. I absolutely LOVED the game, one of the the most underrated IMO.

Seriously never listen to reviews. This is why people like Total Biscuit are doing so well he doesn't review the game. He basically gives you a bit of background on the game and shows you the good and the bad of the game almost like a playable demo, played by him, and leaves you decide if you want it.

Check out his WTF? on Spec Ops and you decide if it is worth buying!

Nice. VERY nice actually, thanks for sharing.

I have subscribed to his channel and will stay tuned from now on. The only thing weird was that he kind of seemed a little bit lost with the mouse/camera, but in the very end he complained about the mouse acceleration -- I didn't have any trouble with that, probably due to different mouses, but anyway, it doesn't matter: great video, he points out that the gameplay is nothing new but solid nonetheless: reinforced what I was saying all this time... ;)

Spec ops was a 7.0 tops. The controls on the PC weren't the greatest, it had some pacing issues, the general gameplay had some wonky issues, and the game was really short (I beat it in a single session).

In the end it was a below average shooter with a fantastic story. 6.5 was fine.

BTW, you can love a game and still give it a 6.5. A game review, especially on a website such as Gamespot, is more than just how much you liked it, but it's an unbiased (as unbiased as possible at least) look at the quality of a game in relation to other games on the market and our standards we set for games at the time of the review.

Unbiased? Yeah right -- as if we don't have plenty of examples proving us otherwise...

I have played the game and the PC controls are fine -- work just as fine as any other similar TPS. The game was really short? What about Call of Duty? Each one of them lasts what, 4 hours?

But anyway, I'm not here to cause discomfort, this is a public forum and all I'm saying is my opinion -- and it remains the same: the score relies on something that in many, many other cases wasn't even mentioned.

Completely, ultimately biased: that's how that review sounded to me.
