IT`S GARBAGE!!!!! 3 days later and its still GARBAGE
On the upside, its different I admit. The expansive nature of it is appealing. What I mean is that the gameplay area seems huge. BUT, I have never come across such a CUMBERSOME, non intuitive resource management part of a game in 30 odd yrs of gaming. If you come across some ammo which happens to fit your main weapon, you would surely expect that to reflect that in the total ammo available for you every time you have that weapon selected. Not in this game. You may have found 3 x AK 47`s and picked them up (intending to use 1 and barter the other 2, but its like the ammo is allied to each particular AK you have and you cant use your total ammo between AK`s. Whilst you are selecting a different weapon or whilst searching bodies for goodies, you still get attacked whilst your`e in the pause mode as it were. I`ts not until you close the search window that you can return fire. Not very realistic. OOh I`m sorry but I can`t return fire till I press this close window thingy!!!)
There is no prompt as to whether you are hitting a mid distance target or not, therefore U don't know whether to adjust your aim or not. What`s that all about?
You happily traverse the game area picking up goodies, someone attacks you and you cant move because you`re too HEAVY or too TIRED to move, therefore you get slotted trying to discard weight so that you can flee or return fire!! Surely some kind of warning is required to advise you that if you choose to collect some thing, that it will put you over weight!.
This is one of those "overly delayed" games which should have been "overly delayed" a bit more to get it working.!!
N.E.W P.O.S.T
FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE AI CAN BE REALLY GOOD AND THEN REALLY CAK! I WAS ON A ROOF VIA A LADDER AND THESE BODS CAME UP FASTER BACKWARDS WITHOUT HOLDING ON TO THE LADDER AND THEN HAVING TO TURN ROUND TO FIRE LIKE I HAD TO. PLUS THEY APPEARED 2 AT A TIME LIKE SIAMESE TWINS WITH NO DELAY IN BETWEEN. OTHER TIMES, IM CROUCHED IN THE GRASS AT NIGHT AND THEY INSTANTLY SPOT ME AND START A BLOODY WAR AS IF IVE GOT A STROBE LIGHT STICKING OUT OF MY RECTUM! u CANT GET AWAY.
AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR AM I CORRECT THAT YOU CANT LIE DOWN PRONE? YOU CAN STOOP, STOOP LOWER BUT CANT LIE DOWN.
WORKING OUT WHAT YOUVE GOT TO DO AND IN WHAT ORDER IS EXTREMELY HIT AND MISS.
IM REALLY MIFFED AT THIS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER. I`M LOOKING FORWARD TO PATCH 304z. MAYBE IT WILL BE BETTER THEN!
