The big release date is tomorrow. Anyone preorder this or plan to pick it up? Looks pretty solid...

I dunno...can't seem to get excited about it to be honest. Something just not there for me...though I will be willing to try it

Unless it's as fun as, or more fun than Quake 3, I think I'll skip it. However, it looks like it'll be a lot more fun than most games to come out these days, so I hope it's well received. Being based on id Tech 4 had to require a crap load of elbow grease, I hope the efforts of the developers don't go unnoticed.

That's a bold statement around here. Some of us would never play another game again if we lived by those standards...

Splash Damage has NEVER disappointed with its games. They always make quality. I'll be grabbing this.

If I wasn't so lame I'd buy it. Been looking forward to this but sadly yet another game put on the backburner over diapers and babyfood :/

Have you seen my threads? I actually don't play anything else 99% of the time (I love you, Doom, Descent and Portal), and I spend virtually all of my time finding ways to compile quake 3 maps faster for the good of quake 3 mapping-kind. When I'm not doing that, I'm usually buying old copies of Quake 3, grinding them up into a fine powder, and rubbing the quake 3 dust into my eyes.

doh


Seriously though, some quite serious flaws by the sounds of things...no lobby? No stats? Network issues that need to be patched on day 1? :offended:

No lobbies a bad thing? Since when? I fucking hate those matchmaking systems. Just give me a list of servers to choose from and let me join a game that's already in progress.

Lobby is a nice to have when you are organising your mates for a good battle. It's just a basic standard now...

Interesting...why would you send out such a poor copy for the reviews to be based on? It makes no sense to me...

also, it makes sure everyone starts out the same instead of you joining a match that only has 20 seconds left and oh everyone quits after it.

6/10 on IGN too, for what it's worth.

Way too many issues for me. I'll pass.

Join L4D2 match..... Spend 2 minutes as infected jockey on the roof of Mercy Hospital during the last round finale. Back in the lobby everyone leaves but you.

I think the initial release will be balls but it might perk up a little

I'll be blunt: while the initial negative reviews would give anyone pause in buying this game, I've long-ago concluded that reviews of anything are to be dismissed as often as they're to be believed.

I'll buy it and make my own mind up...just as I did with Mirror's Edge, which got rave reviews from everyone under the sun yet sucked ass in so many ways it wasn't even funny. Now THAT was a waste of $50. Mirror's Edge is one of the few games that I uninstalled less than 1/5th the way through, but if the reviews were to be believed I was supposed to love it.
