As much hype as this game is getting I thought it'd be alot better than what I played on the demo. I thought it was a last gen game at the most. The textures weren't that great and the animations weren't either. But hey thats just my taste in games I guess.

can you honestly look in the mirror and say:
"yes the textures on this game look like it could have been done on PS2"?
You sound like you ate BS for breakfast.

yeah there were a few places outside in the demo that the textures looked like crap compared to alot of next gen games. there were some trees and rocks that were total crap.

I hate to break this to anyone, but there's not a single 360 game with 100% perfect textures. Last year everyone nearly shat themselves over Call of Duty 4 and I can't tell you how many trees, rocks and other textures look like crap compared to the rest of the game.
It's not alone here.

you know what youre right. But even so I don't see this game being as great as people are making it out to be. The demo sucked gameplay wise and there are people posting on here that say the same. So I'll even let the textures slide. I just have a high level standard now after games like COD4, gears of war and MGS4. Those games have taking textures and models and game play to another level that I feel other Devs need to try and out do or at last be on that level.

I agree with you. I tried the demo out due to the hype and thought it was poor. Definitely not a game work $60.

Good thing it's only $50, eh?
Hopefully this will be eligible for the Toys R Us deal on Tuesday / Wednesday, otherwise I'll probably wait a while to pick it up. What's a few months on top of ten years anyways?

Not. Fail.
Not epic, but a serious fail nonetheless. - 4000 hp.

I loved the demo but it's not looking good. 1UP gave it a C- which is like a 6 or something.
To be fair, the review is atrocious and that reviewer should be shot. It just sounds like he hated the game before he even played it, and he doesn't even really elaborate why that is. His page is not even a word page long either.

it was short and to the point. weak action and weak rpg elements. only online was it's saving grace.

Anticrawl said...
Sounds like old Shovelface reviewed it. He always has some sort of vindictive hatred towards certain games he reviews before he even plays them. Take Shadowrun for example (but I will note, gamestop edited his two pages of mindless ramblings into half a page as with most of his reviews).
Regardless of any reviews I'm buying this damn game. I've been waiting this long and I'm not going to miss out just because Game Informer and 1UP gave it a bad review.

I lost interest in the demo about 15 seconds in, and the lack of reviews doesn't bode well...

The demo killed it for me as well. I hated the combat system, it felt like it didn't really take skill rather just "point and attack". The story and overall premise I could care less about...as long as the gameplay is there. It isn't. Still it would be nice to see solid sales or critical acclaim for TH, another solid IP On the 360 never hurt anyone.

Punisher-
Consider yourself hurting then. I'm purchasing 3 copies alone (myself & twins), and many people I know are buying it as well.

Yeah I didn't even finish the demo. I was willing to give it a shot, but it was just not good at all imo. 10 years? Yikes.

Not worth 60 of my hard earned bucks, based on the demo. I love the idea of online co-op though.
If I was flush, I might have a weak moment, and pick this up, but I'm kinda skint, so this is a definite pass.
