Wait, wait, wait... I was wrong, I just remembered what OXM was referring to. At the end of Halo you drive a jeep off a crumbling alien planet and you do the exact same thing in Breakdown, and it did make me think of Halo as well. I thought it was a lot better then Halo's because I actually cared about Derrick and Alex, but that's neither here nor there.
The ten dollar Best Buy deal is this week, it ends Saturday. Just checked the Cheapassgamer board to make sure. I might go ahead and get it, I don't feel like playing through Ninja Gaiden a second time and there's not much coming out for a while.
Do you ever see yourself in Breakdown? I mean, do you ever see your face? If you almost do then that would be alot like Halo, MC takes off his helmet at the end of Halo but you never see what he looks like.Quote:

That part was tricky. You have to try and get the warriors to fight you where the shooty guys can't get hit you. I'm a little ways past that, and it just keeps getting cooler.
Does anyone know if the dialog choices actually affect anything besides the other characters' responses?
You're going to hate a certain room later on. I suspect there's going to people asking for help about it because man do I wish I had some trying to get past it.Quote:

Ok, Just rented it, and will be playing it later tonight. Will post my thoughts later.
Well, Spent some time with Breakdown tonight, and sadly have to say that so far its been pretty bad. Graphics are very unimpressive and shimmery. Character animations are pretty bad (especially looking at yourself in the mirror in training room). Combat wasnt all the fun, especially with only autoaim option, and not be able to control where you want to shoot. Every time time Derrik picks up something (like a clip from the body of killed soldiers), he will spend a while looking at it, like he wonders if he should stick it into something :lol: Alex has annoying habbit, getting right in front of you while you are trying to shoot some bad guys, and then she dies, whining "Derrick, How Could You !!!!" Grrr.
I was definately expecting something better than this :( Its a interesting premise and ideas, so its dissapointing to see it done this way.
I will probably will return it back to HV, and rent The Sufferring instead.
You can turn that off.Quote:

Hm, I think I've only hit her twice and she's never died on me. Odd.Quote:

But at least you gave it a shot. The main draw is the hand-to-hand combat which greatly improves as time goes, but I think a lot of the enhancements (like blocking bullets) are too far in for most people to get hooked by them.
I started a new game last night and decided to go through normal again before moving up difficulty levels and hot damn is it suddenly easy as pie. Fighting multiple T'Lans is still kinda hard but everything else is smooth as silk.
