    I`ve just heard about this game and I thought I`d check it out first.
    Anyone have it?

    I actually remember seeing a commercial for this game a couple months ago maybe, it looked pretty freakin awesome. I searched on youtube for some videos of it and it still looks not too bad. I have no further information about it though haha I have yet to play it.

    No no, aparently wiki says it was released in 28th of April.
    How come nobody said anything about it?
    It`s in the same line as Alan Wake aparently,that`s why it caught my attention.

    Why ?
    I`m asking since it`s a whopping 18 gigs and right now I`m low on disk space,and I`m not the type that has a new game and doesn`t try it.

    Man just play it then lol. It's not too long either. I felt the same way... it's way too large, so I rushed into finishing it, then deleted it ;)

    Ok, question then.
    How`s the graphics compared to modern fps,and why do you think it`s boring?

    Gameplay dude. Fighting a T-rex somewhere in the beginning was the only thing that made me go on. The knifing animations are cool for the first 4-5 times, then just repetitive and annoying! Graphics are below today's standards I would say. Sure, nothing's like Crysis but even Vegas 2 has better graphics IMO! Or any new game for that matter... It only looks a bit attractive because of the green and large terrain. And that's one good thing about the game... BIG maps, much like Crysis... not as much, but still big. After all the games I've played recently, I DO find it boring. And I don't know what justifies it's 15-18GB size ?!

    EDIT: The guns aren't too interesting.... maybe just the bow.. but that's one pain in the arse! Oh, and the ending wasn't anything spectacular either. Plus as I said it's not too long and rather very repetitive, much like that annoying game I played recently - Clive Barker's : Jericho.... but that was just worse! :p

    Hmm. I see. I`ll steer off of it.
    The thing is, I`m running out of fps`s to play hear, and I guess all NBR knows my huge list of fps`s that I have played:
    -Quake4
    -Doom3+exp
    -Painkiller(all3 of them)
    -UTseries
    -Timeshift
    -BlackSite Area 51
    -Orange Box
    -Crysis
    -Call of Duty 4
    -MOH Airborne
    ...

    I'm off for the day. Will post a list tomorrow... old and new games, some classics. For now, try Frontlines as suggested... bit short but awesome nonetheless! :)

    Had the PS3 version, thought it was pretty good...but on some levels it was crazy hard for some reason.

    QW, been there done that.
    I`m looking for FPS with good SP, since I`m not all the time connected to the internet.
    Alan Wake, Project Origin,FarCry2 are a few of those titles that I`m still waiting for...
