Haze Comments by Rob Fahey

>"But I do have knowledge about the early parts of the story and I'm perfectly capable of forming an opinion of it: I didn't like it so it didn't entice me to move forward."

I promis this will be my last comment.
What you just said is fine. But can you see the difference between not liking the story because the early parts didn't grab you, and claiming the story makes little sense without completing it?

Like I said, I hate the harry potter books. I can't stand them as I know it's something I will not like (the entire setting, I hate). Yet I cannot comment on whether the story makes sense or not, because I haven't read the book. See the difference?

"So you've refrained from commenting on it further, yet STILL had to add an extra comment on it? within the same sentence?"

No, I refrained from commenting on it further EXCEPT for noting it is rather contrived. That's very possible to do in a single sentence and in no way contradictory. But if I need to explain you the basics of the syntax of sentences and logic, there's indeed little point to this discussion.

"Whether you "buy" the injection is irrelevant. The point is that you withdrew your statement because you acknowledged it was made out of ignorance (after being corrected). Surely you must be able to see you're still doing it for the rest of the story?"

No, it isn't, as I was a potential customer for the game. I was put off by the lacking visuals, gameplay and story in the demo. I did acknowledge that the full game tries admirably to fit them in an overall logical framework. That doesn't mean that I think that framework is well constructed or engaging. And it doesn't take away the fact that after playing (part of) the demo I had seen enough of Bioshock (but to it's credit, most demos I download I end up deleting without ever playing them).

"Like I said, I hate the harry potter books. I can't stand them as I know it's something I will not like (the entire setting, I hate). Yet I cannot comment on whether the story makes sense or not, because I haven't read the book. See the difference?"

Yes, which is why, from the very beginning, I said the story within the demo didn't make much sense. I never said the complete story didn't make any sense (read my post again). I even anticipated that the full game was very likely to give a sort of coherent framework that would explain the elements but after playing the demo I wasn't willing to find out.

I guess I need to create another account to get the demo...as it stands I can't get it here in Germany (yet) Are demo's region free also? I haven't ventured of of the european realm... lol Lastly I heard that the frame-rate on Haze is capped at 30fps. True?

"Remains to be seen" ...hmm, so does this mean... 'no [we got an exclusive so we won't bash it here].'? :(

Check out the gameplay on gametrailers in HD.
eww, this game is ugly....looks like a ps2 game and nectar won't save it.

Wow, the trolls and fanboys are particularly dull today aren't they.

Been keeping an eye on this game for a while now, and was somehow expecting to be a little more... inspired by the preview. Oh well, let's hope it turns out well for the final release. Not that I have a PS3 yet, but there will be a game to make me want it eventually surely?!?! I don't think it will be this though.
