Borderlands wanabe minus the fun
I had high hopes for this one based on all the hype, but playing this game felt more like a job thn having fun. Everthing was the same... you want something, ok, do something for me and I'll give you what you want. It's a huge mish mash of so many other games put into one and it just doesn't work. The characters you interact with were uninspired and boring and some were just plain depressing.
The biggest hype around this game were the graphics. Yeah they are good, but at this point in time what games really don't have good graphics? These were no better than Crysis 2, Killzone 3 or a handful of others. At this point, if all you have to offer is great graphics, it's not worth my $60.
So what was original about this game? Well, pretty much 90% was combination rip off of Borderlands and Fallout 3 with the other 10% being Ratchet and Clank. I mean, look at the way the enemies react...straight out of Borderlands. They seek cover and shout insults at you. At first I kinda thought the wingstick was pretty cool, but still not a cool as Mordeci's attack bird Bloodwing in Borderlands. And I was not fan of Fallout 3, especially the whole picking up all kinds of junk to build something. Quite honestly, it's stupid. And why can I loot dead enemies ( assuming they don't dissolve) but I can't take their weapon? Why put all this effort into a great looking enviornment when I can't explore it? After about 5 hours of playing it I was bored and brought it back to Redbox. Been there, done that in games that were actually fun, well except for Fallout 3.
