So I'm meant to block out that I've seen it all before, done in better ways? LOL, that is ridiculous. I'm not going to force amnesia because the game can't be original.

Besides, if that's the only time you've felt like a literal badass, you've been playing the wrong games XD

The Demo sucked because the only real way to take out the enemies is by doing stupid knee slides and weird cartwheel flips. If you just go up and cap them you get $1. Whoopity doo. If I want to hop around like an idiot for nine-12 hours of gameplay, I'm sure I could find much better alternatives and ditch the gun.

Tiger of Wu really nailed what the demo was. I really had high hopes for this game, but it seems even the devs don't have much faith in it by the sound of the article.

You two are the only ones saying it sucked. Instead of nitpicking, just appreciate it. A demo is a demo as well, it could be different in the final product. Demos are for the public to try the game and see if they want it. If ya don't, then dippity doo.

It's not nitpicking, it's disliking the game for what it is. If people like it, good for them. Dippity doo. What you have to remember though is that Gamesta invited me to say why I disliked it so I did; you're the one defending it needlessly. If you liked it, dippity doo, just get over the fact some people didn't and stop acting like their reasoning is poor just because they don't agree with you.

No one is nitpicking, but there just isn't anything in the game for ME to appreciate. You like it? Go blow $60 on it. For me, I wouldn't even rent this. It's a total pass.

EXACTLY. I don't want it. You do. Have fun with it!

Not to mention the fact that somehow you can slide UP stairs. There were control issues I noticed, you couldn't skip the cutscenes if you'd seen them already, and you can only fire one bullet at a time when not jumping and sliding about. Not to mention the demo is glitchy.

Yeah, how can a woman such as this possibly slide "up" stairs... Clearly this game is shitty and unrealistic. Seriously of all the shit she can do that's where you draw the line?

Also Wu, how can you bitch about a bare story on a demo? It's a demo ffs, god Batman: AA is terrible. The Joker escapes and you don't even get to catch him. Plus the game was short...boo

Oh yes, read the back of a book and decide it's shitty.

Look I don't doubt you're right, but you have to play the game to judge the story. Knowing the general direction they're heading isn't going to do the game justice.

It's not so much about being a fan of platformers though, it's just a matter of them including the aspect so half-arsedly. It would be like looking at a painting and seeing a big yellow smiley replacing one persons actual face.

As for QTE's to me they're just glorified dance-mats for your thumbs.

And what I mean when I say it doesn't feel natural is that it's too mechanic; there's no flow. You can just be standing around one second and then sliding everywhere the next as if the rules of momentum and gravity mean nothing, which is like the game pauses and big, red letters appear dispelling all immersion, making impossible to get into. It would be like if at the end of Titanic when they were in the sea, the girl lying on top of the wreckage and the dude holding onto it, and they turned to each other and said 'Don't worry, I'll see you again. This is just a movie; as soon as they yell cut I can sketch you in another pose'.
