Just grabbed this today. Anyone tried it yet?. Just finished installing, will give it a whirl and report back.

Just installed Blur gonna install this later. I'm backlogged all the way back to Mass Effect 2.

It's not pretty.

It's not pretty.

C'mon man, give us a professional review.

Shit game.

Shit game.

I concur. Not impressed so far, AI is absolute shite. It's completely pointless trying to be "stealthy" in any mission, you might as well open up with all guns blazing as soon as you start. Very random, you will be creeping along a corridor after just killing a guard in a stealthy move and all of a sudden some bizarre trigger happens and you alert everyone in the level to your location/presence.

Graphics are pretty shite too. Had high hopes for this but so far it looks like a steaming turd.

The thing that boggles my mind is how did they fuck this up so bad. They have a pretty decent track record. Did they just put all the retards on this game while the A team made fallout new vegas?

I'm sorry to hear this is bad. I'm not surprised. KOTOR2 was a hot mess.

...fuck this game.
Congratulations, you've come up with a fancy dialog system and consequences. Too bad everything else looks like it was pulled out of some whore's ass.

There is precisely zero point to playing a stealth operative if you're going to be put into boss fight after boss fight after boss fight, against bosses who make your already nigh-irrelevant skills a complete waste of time.

Fuck. This. Game.


They couldn't even polish a turd. It's bug-ridden as fuck, up to and including enemies randomly being able to shoot me through cover.
The skills couldn't get any more pointless. Chain shot? Worthless against anyone other than mooks. Shadow Operative? He and his thugs already know exactly where I am. Silent Running? Even more pointless. Fury? Not good enough, some 65-year-old faggot can still block all my strikes. Brilliance? Yes, standing to glow and take more bullets is totally worth skipping the cooldown. This game offends me through its mere existence.
