Am I the only one getting this game? It looks fucking awesome, the demo was great too.
I already have the LE pre-ordered.

That is so over the top.

Shit.

Generation gap.

That is so over the top.

That's the point. The game is a action movie parody.

It would be insane to take it seriously.

Realism is overrated.

I'm glad for this after the San Andreas -> GTA IV deduction of unrealism.

Exactly my thought, especially looking at this "awesome cool" stuff. Fun doesn't always have to be retarded in an MTV way...

The requirements state that it doesn't work on Windows XP. Is this true? I was thinking of dowloading the demo, but after reading that, I suppose it'll just be 1GB of wasted space.

I didn't like the first one, so I don't think I'll really care too much for the second.

Can you blame technology for moving forward?

^ Not supporting XP isn't "technology moving forward". Including DX10-11 support for XP would be.

Tried the demo out and got bored rather fast. The mechanics allow for some neat stunts but they quickly got old for me. I was just jumping from car to car, not knowing what to do. Maybe a bad demo but nah

Not supporting DX10-11 in XP is purely a marketing strategy IMO, but I understand if the developers are lazy enough to ditch the support for XP. They don't need to port much code because of the platform, the problem is porting all shaders to previous DirectX.

Normally, you'd need to write Pixel and Fragment shaders separately, but DX10 integrates them into a single shader.

XP isn't as dead as DOS is, so it should be supported, at least for a couple of years more.

Love this one.

Should be fun for about an hour or so. Then It'll get boring after that I'm sure.

 

[AskWazzup]

This game looks like it will have limitless possibilities - all of them short lived and boring.

 

[SharkClub]

You guys are no fun.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingTard]

The demo is insanely fun, I am pretty sure I will buy it.

 

[Phil the Nuka-Cola Dude]

Games like that need coop. Mindless destruction is infinitely more fun when you've got friends with you. Without coop, it just looks dull.

 

[SharkClub]

Pretty sure they said they were going to make Multiplayer DLC, because they "want to make the best single-player experience possible, and not focus on multiplayer right away".

So I got it today (pre-ordered so it came 1 day earlier than the EU release), really great game so far. I've already put in several hours and only have 8% completion.

The game is actually pretty challenging on Normal mode. "Elite" enemies and armoured helicopters are fucking tough, but it's good that you can take like 100 bullets before you die...

It's really just insanely dumb fun.

 

[Professor Danger!]

Looks like a lot of fun, in an insanely over the top action movie sort of way.

Maybe i'll check it out. More serious games like Mass Effect 2 have bored the shit out of me after awhile.

Oh, and Dario ff, thanks for informing me about the DX/Windows XP stuff. I didn't really know anything about it.
