    Excellent stuff. Seems that the end of the year is filling up with some good releases

  • ZuluHero #2 3 years ago

    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

  • WinterSnowblind #8 3 years ago

    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.

  • mkreku #9 3 years ago

    Yay, a random Risen reference that's NOT coming from me! :D

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

    CountFapula, care to explain too us exactly how you know its going to be rubbish? Preferably without a trolling answer.

  • mkreku #12 3 years ago

    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.

    @CountFapula
    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!

  • LowEnergyCycle #15 3 years ago

    @CountFapula
    "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.

  • UncleLou #16 3 years ago

    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.
