Glad to see a solid date, hope it sticks this time as i'm quite looking forward to it. As is standard with that winter rush though -lots of other stuff coming out around that time though.... I wonder if i can leave it a week and get it slightly cheaper (which seemed to be the norm last year) i got stung quite a few times buying games on release - only to see them suddenly drop a week or two later....

Considering the writer, there was a significant lack of knob jokes in this article.

Knob with a k, mind. Hob nobs aren't funny. They taste good, but they're not funny.

Wow. This and Rage will keep my vehicular action needs satisfied for a long time to come. I love that they're both open world too!

Since they changed the art style I've been far more interested

Really excited about this one actually, looks a lot of fun and it's the type of game you could be playing for months/years at a time. Even with everything else out this year, this ones on high priority. Along with Risen, I'll definitely get it, if the gameplay holds up.

Any game with both co-op play & about 18 billion types of gun just has to be worth a look

Actually, why bother? I mean, CountFapula has already stated that he's not interested in this title. Why he keeps coming back and posting over and over is beyond me.

Art style can have a huge impact on how you look at a game take anything from REZ to Jet Set Radio or Zelda: Windwaker. The original style didn't interest me as I could care less about another brown shooter now its a bit easier on the eye and I'd be interested to see what else it has to offer, then again I could just make up my mind now, couldn't I?

@CountFapula - Move on troll! If you don't like this game then stop posting here as you're contradicting your own statements!

"if all it takes is an art style to make you interested in a mediocre game, you are stupid "

How on earth you can consider a game you've never played on as "mediocre" is a mystery. Not to mention very fucking stupid.

The fact they are droning on and on about how many weapons they have...if I were you guys, I'd care more about them having a GOOD arsenal of weapons rather than just a big one

You're missing the point of action-RPG/lootwhore games in a rather spectacular fashion.

MK, you still busy shilling your game, risen?

Haha, Christ. How embarassing for you.
