Reply With QuoteI'm just curious guys, but what is it that you like about Breakdown? I saw my co-worker playing the game for about two weeks straight and it looked like nothing but shit.

I didn't even do that, just wave attacked the three all I could, beat down one, got his health and went for the other ones. In other words, I got really lucky. That's not the end of the frustration, though. Be prepared to do some more stuff over and over and over till you luck out.
Tip for later: use slowdown (click in both sticks) to turn around fast enough to hit the orb.

Well, I like the story, and I like the hand to hand combat in first person. It's a unique game that really drew me in.Originally Posted by MarkRyan

MarkRyan: When I first played the game I was like ... "I'm trading it back. THIS GAME SUCKS!" But after I played past the demo ... The story unfolded and it was like the first Matrix ... it intrigued me. Then, when I played further and was able to fight "Back" and not run all the time ... It felt as though I was a superhero! I was doing things that I've done numerous times before in games, BUT with it being first person ... It felt as though I WAS THE ONE DOING IT! It was exhilerating and fun!
So, like we have saidf before in older threads ... give it time and you'll enjoy it too.

MarkRyan, this is definitely a game that kind of looks "eh", but plays wonderfully.

Is this beatable in a rental period?
No handle, no identity.
I got to play this at game riot, lots of fun very polished. It plays like a fps with beat em up elements meets shenmue (with the drinking of sodas and junk but no sailors)

Seriously, Breakdown looks downright horrible from what I've seen. Terrible graphics--ridiculously ugly textures with PSone polygon counts. Boring level designs. Combat looks okay from what I've seen (though I've seen some really frustrating areas of the game) though I don't see how it benefits from being first person, other than standing out as different.
And MarsKitten, I'm sorry, but you must be mad to think the game is polished. I've seen enough to know that polish is definitely not what's on the side of Breakdown. Good story and a really interesting combat system are the only things I can imagine bringing it out of the bowels of ugly trashiness.
Seriously, from what I've seen of the game it is horrendous--yet you guys are giving it a good amount of praise. And I know TNL has overrated plenty of games, but this one still has me baffled. I'd like it if someone could tell me something that would make me want to actually try playing it. I mean, I want to find out for myself if it's good, but at this point I've seen enough to convince myself that it can't possibly be.

Just get the OXM demo disc, or rent the friggin' thing. From my experience with the demo, the gameplay is much like that of a third-person adventure game, only in a first-person perspective. I figured it'd be clunky, but it isn't. There are a couple of problems with it, but not any lasting ones, and this is coming from someone who typically doesn't enjoy first-person perspectives in any genre.
