Chugging along at 17K/s. At 66Mb now.

People seems to say Doom3 with weaker weapons, better level design, and much more fun.

[Bean]

Thanks for the links! Managed to get it at ~ 75KB a sec or so via FilePlanets download control McGafty - took around 2 hours.

[VirtualForce]

Well I'm buying this game as soon as it hits the stores! Damn impressive and good graphics to boot!

[Shrimp]

So... Is VF on drugs again, or is it really good?

[<A>BioGizzard]

rofl, dunno, i would like to know myself i hate wasting bw for nothing

[sneaky]

Will only be able to install and play it today sometime

[Gamos]

Ok, just completed it (single player).

Good:

- Fast and responsive menus, something 9/10 games lack.
- Pretty damn cool portals that is also instantaneous.
- Gravity walkways are insane! Shoot a guy and watch him fall to the roof ;)
- Nice interaction with objects like the TV, Jukebox etc.
- Spirit mode give a new twist to things
- When dead, although gimmicky, you don't have to load.
- Runs pretty damn well on medium spec machine (P4 3Ghz with X1300)
- Buy Oyster Cult's Dont fear the reaper. :p

Bad:

- Weapons lack kick (sounds seem ok, but impact with targets feels off)
- Enemies don't feel solid (as in, heavy like a human/alien should be.


All in all I am pretty damn impressed. It brings new tricks and twist to the tired FPS genre, and makes it fun. I can only imagine how insane DM must be.

I reckon I'll grab this for sure.

[VirtualForce]

I dont use drugs, I use quad damage. :P

Buy Oyster Cult's Dont fear the reaper.

Gamos, have you heard Dont Fear The Reaper redone by the band HIM (http://www.heartagram.com/)? Done insanely well imho. :notworthy

(BTW. HIM is one of my fav bands.)

[Gamos]

Nope, haven't heard that. What is the other song by HIM? The name rings a bell, but I can't palce the song.

Edit: Nevermind, I remembered it was Rip out the wings of a butterfly. Damn catchy tune.

[VirtualForce]

5 albums, 1 compilation and several singles.

Tho their latest, Dark Light, isnt as good as their previous albums.

5FM plays Vampire Heart and Wings Of A Butterfly (From Dark Light) quite regularly.

[Peon]

5FM actually plays songs ?? You could of fooled me with all the spam advertising.

[VirtualForce]

heh, I was thinking that the other day, adds after adds....I mean they say stay tuned we gonna do this or that just now. When they actually do air the piece they talked about, I completely forgot about that...or it might just be my extremely short attention span... :\

[sneaky]

Well the demo owned its like ten times better than DOOM3. Just finished Pre-Ordering it :P I love the zoom function on that shock rifle thing.
