Same here, some audio glitches here and there. Plus in game cut scenes could have used more work, they do look too blocky, especially in the beginning movie, and rave party.
As for Dark Allience comparison, this game is straight action, with little bit of leveling up, no items, weapons or stat management like in DA game though. Just good old, multiplayer beat-them-up fun :)
All I did yesterday was play this game...
My right index finger hurts a lot.
I got to the interior of the prison.
On two seperate games!!!
At first I thought the game was pretty shallow, but once you get into the meat of the game, and have to start using strategy, you realize the game is much better than you thought.
The game was made for multiplayer. The camera can get a little awkward at times, but it's easily forgiven.
As a player of the dice & paper game, I think it holds up fairly well to it. The story is good enough (Like your DM makes better ones...), and the focus is on: style, action, and death. The dialogue is well written, and well acted; even if it doesn't always synch up.
If you're a player of the 'real' game, and have an XBOX, I highly recommend you pick it up.
You have access to Hunternet, and all the messages come from Bookworm_55!!!
And if you have no idea where Hunter: The Reckoning came from, check out your local Borders, and give the book a perusal.
Well I beat the game using the Martyr. Shit that was hard. Last boss is a fucking pain in the ass till you know what to do.
As for that first boss. Running away is a good stratagey, but you can kill him MUCH faster if you use a melee weapon. After you've cleared out all the rots and those damn bomb spiders, just stay behind him (he rotates like a slug) and jump over his shockwaves. Slice and dice until dead. Easy.
i got to the satan bear in the church today with a buddy....that music seals the deal in the "fucked up department" :) do the enemies get any different or do i just look at the same zombies over and over all game?
Hmmmmm....wow, non of you guys have complained yet about this game. There are major flaws that make this game less than godley.
1. Why did the developers not put in an auto lock on? This game is just like cannon spike but without the lockon. I know the second stick is for aiming but I need lockon with these types of games.
2. Why cant this game be stickly shootemup goodness? Why do I have to complete these stupid, boring, chorish, look for this guy to move on crap?
3. No map. The levels are huge, and why no map.
3. No unlimited ammo for your other weapons. The machine gun is soooo cool, but you only have it for like 5 seconds.......
Otherwise the game is great, especially with two or more people playing. The artwork reminds me a lot of loaded. PC action RPG this game is not.
I just bought the game due to boredom. SamuraiMoogle and I played it 4 hours staight. I like the game. Swarms of enemies are fun taking down. We got to one point in the prison and got spanked a few time.. bastards. Otherwise so far its a fun beat em up. Feels a lot like Baldurs Gate on PS2. Not as much customizing stuff though. Its a decent game. I don't see how EGM gave it a 5 though. Maybe a 7. I'd give it maybe a 7.8. If you like Gauntlet and Baldur's gate you WILL like this game.
Why don't they just play the game for you? Seriously, there are hoardes of enemies and it's very easy to aim using the right stick. Lock on would make this game very awkward.Quote:

Because some people need a goal to work towards, though it would be nice if there was an alternate mode without the missions.Quote:

Agreed. I had to do some backtracking and it was a pain in the ass.Quote:

Uhh, because it would defeat the whole purpose of them being special weapons and totally ruin the level of difficulty maybe?Quote:

I've only played the game an hour myself, but found it to be quite impressive. A limited, but very fun experience. If they had added more depth to the gameplay, it would have been perfect.
I found a Bazooka.... HOORAY!!! GUTS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
EGM didn't give it a 5. They gave it a 5.5, a 7.5, and a 6.5.Quote:

Christ, I'm turning into an EGM defender. Ugh.
Games of this calibur need a lock on that you initiate. Cannon Spike and Devil May Cry both had it and look at how wonderful and easy to play those games where.Quote:

Smash TV, did not but it had 8 way fireing that this game does not. If they made the right stick aan 8 way fireing stick instead of just an aiming stick, it would have been all right.
