Hmm...this sounds interesting.
I kind of forgot about this game, but I'll eventually pick it up.
And you guys are a bunch of reactionary pussies.
The only real negatives mentioned in the review are framerate which, from the sounds of it, doesn't really impact gameplay and some minor bugs.
You assholes praised KOTOR up and down and yet it had the very same issues PLUS ridiculous loading times and shitty graphics. Hypocrites.
7.8 is not a bad score.
I'll pick up a copy tomorrow, maybe I'll even grace this forum with some impressions.
Do you sit on your stacks of dvd's or have you purchased furniture as well?

ok a few thoughts based on a very little amount of play, the gunning is pretty fun, the guns have a nice meaty sound to them. melee is, at the beginning stupid looking and dosent feel connected at all. the dialogue is very funny, your brother is a major han solo type and gets more one liners in the first few minutes than most good games get them in their entire playtime. running feels awkward, you really dont feel solid to the ground, im really dissapointed in that. overall i havent gotten far enough to really give it a opinion yet, but so far its a slickly produced visual game with good music and soem questionable feeling right now.

KOTOR was a COMPLETELY different game. A slower framerate didn't hurt KOTOR, load times didn't hurt KOTOR, and the graphics were fine on PC. Just reading about this game I know it isn't worthy of sniffing KOTOR's shit.
Gamespot's Review
score is 5.7
last paragraph summation:
"Though it's hard to blame anyone for aspiring to create something that goes beyond the usual sci-fi action adventure sameness we've all grown accustomed to, Advent Rising rarely feels like it legitimately has such aspirations. It just seems like it thinks it's a lot more original and interesting than it actually is, ultimately coming off as kind of pretentious and pastiche. The game doesn't really do anything mechanically that you haven't seen before; the story never finds a way to grab you; it's pretty short overall; and the lengthy laundry list of technical issues pretty much drives the final nail into the coffin. Though GlyphX and publisher Majesco are billing Advent Rising as the first episode in a trilogy, after playing through this game, it's unlikely you'll be interested enough to care about any possible sequels. Advent Rising is a severely disappointing effort on all fronts, and it just isn't worth playing."
5.7!!! LOL. Sure 7.8 isnt a bad score but a 5.7 sure the hell is. Like I said a few posts ago, glad I waited for the reviews to come out before I bought the game.
I still kinda want to check it out though, definitely not buy, but a free rental? Why not?
Check out the video review on gamespot, that guy rips the game apart. Oh well, had this thing come out when I made this thread two years ago then I probably would've gotten it regardless of reviews, now I'll wait until it drops below $15.
He was waving his hands a little too much, and it looked like he`s never seen a camera before.Quote:
