New console games are ridiculously overpriced in Finland. PC games are usually like 45-50 euros.

PS. That's why I tend to order games from US or Canada, so much cheaper there, but it's a bit difficult for 360, if the game is region locked, and I don't want to mod it either 'cause then I couldn't use XBL. :-(

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

I like how ABSTRACT ART STYLE TO FIT OUR GAMEPLAY or whatever is also CONVIENENTLY the simplest level of map making and lowest art resource requirements.

Just... wow. I picked up this game two days ago and managed to finish it in less than 4 hours! what the! I have not had a modern game that short in fucking ages (that said, I absolutely plow through games; Lost Odyssey in 22, Mass Effect with all sidequests in 27-28 (somewhere around there), etc) but jesus christ. The ending was all so anticlimatic, too. REALLY COOL set up like with the jump and the catch and thing but then it's just sort of OVER and it's like "what, no big boss fight???". I dunno, I was... severely underwhelmed. :(

Some sections of it were fun; coincidentally, I had the most fun with the game in the sections that were
a) outdoors
b) without enemies

the enemies were fucking terrible. Way overpowered in some cases (there's this bit in chapter 2 or 3 or 4 where you're coming up on a girder and suddenly FIVE DUDES storm you at once, and then later in chapter 8 you're in some factory or something. terrible). It's just a little unfair in times; not CHALLENGING, just UNJUSTIFIABLY DIFFICULT. And the inside sections were just boring as fuck. I have no idea why, but fuck.

God damn it. I really want to like this game but there is so much reason not to!

Four hours? I heard it was short but I was made to believe like 7 to 8 hours. Are you god damn serious?

I have been desperately trying to not be put off and still get this when it comes out for PC, but if there's a mere 4 hours of gameplay then it's a definite no.

Yeah just under 4 hours for me but like I said I am an EXTREMELY FAST GAMER. I don't actually know anyone else who roars through games as fast as I do (latest record is Infinite Undiscovery in 15 hours). EXTREMELY FAST GAMER, that sounds ridiculously gay. huh.

Yeah 4 hours is about right, Took me abit longer because i got shitted at it so easy and went and did other things.
For the PC version it looks like they just put material in there and physics for having it fall. This wont affect gameplay at all or make the game better. It will still have the same flaws it did previously.

So basically lack of logic, common sense, broken and equally stupid fight mechanics, short, and lastly very boring with a couple fun parts few and far bewteen. Better then Superman 64.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

Hmm I finally got it for the PC, but im having some Graphical issues and im not a real wizz on the topic, so maybe someone knows how to fix this:


So far I know that the glitch is being caused by a 3D plane which creates Fog that every 3D game seems to have, you know that plane that moves with your viewing direction
(Im running a high-end machine, being able to run Gears, Assassins creed and Fallout3 on highest settings - Using an ATI card




As for the game.. im enjoying it non the less, love the art style it looks simple but unlike most games very realistic, love the eye bluring.

also: PhysX kills frames.
so you've come here for pointless ego boosting and happy sunshine glee? this aint deviantart man.

PhysX kills frames if you're running on the CPU. I ran the game fine with PhysX on an nvidia card. It's too bad nvidia has PhysX as an exclusive.

This game is a fun rent. I would in no way pay for this game full price but if you have a saturday to kill or something I would recomend a rent. I really enjoyed the game actually. It has many different ways to get through each level and I found it fun replaying it a bit just to see if I could do things differently then my first time around. Granted it is very short and the fights are a bit annoying, which just gives you more insentive to find a way around the enemies.

I never found it to linear or whatever some people were saying, and there werenèt very many parts where the enemies were not avoidable for the most part. Its weird actually my cousin logged about 100 hours in this game and he absolutely loves it so I dunno, maybe just different strokes for different folks. Or maybe it just helps that we Parkour so we have a bias towards this game or something. (waits for konix to say I have to raise my standards, as that seems to be the trend :P)

100?

One hundred hours. I don't spend that much time in a J-RPG or even something OPEN WORLD like GTA4 or Saints Row 2. I think I maybe clocked up 100 with San Andreas but that's because I played it for like 2 years just running around the landscape and flying and killing shit. In something THIS LINEAR, 100 hours?

Jesus.

100 hours is the average time necessary to beat all of FF12.

This game has about 1/20th of the content FF12 has. Even beating it on all difficulties and getting top offline rank in all the challenges, you wouldn't clock over 30-35 hours.

If you're really saying the truth, I hate your cousin. The only game I logged over 100 hours in was Perfect Dark and that was VS alone (about 30-40 hours missions) but that was because I played VS a LOT with my friends and coop a LOT with my sis.
