| I actually finished it, which is rare enough. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Is it just that people were expecting some amazing "next gen" game? But it turned out it is just a standard open-world run around and shoot game?
The plot is pretty incomprehensible, you can tell there must have been a re-write towards the end of the project (maybe the cause for the delays?) because the main plot has almost nothing to do with you being a vigilante - which is what most of the open world is about. Considering the game is called ${i18N('watch')}_${i18N('dogs')} you kind of expect the game to being about... watch dogs. Clearly the original plot was terrible - or, more likely - some genius came in with a new 'vision' halfway through the project. So while you are running around stopping crimes and taking out gang hideouts in the open world, in the plot you have to find some thing for a guy because he kidnapped your sister. But then all the sudden at the end you take down some kingpin. Escaping the cops can actually be fun - I never really got tired of exploding steam pipes or raising blockers and watching cars go flying. I liked bailing out of the car and hiding out in alleys to shake the helos too. It does include one thing I've always wanted more of in games - ambushing convoys. If there was a game centered on playing a guerrilla force that went around ambushing convoys and looting the results for weapons and supplies I would play the fuck out of that. I guess I just want to play Red Dawn: The Game. Verdict: wait for Steam sale. |

NT by 06/09/2014, 10:51pm PDT Didn't Outcast have that as an objective? by 06/10/2014, 8:37am PDT I think being a standard open world game is what killed it for me. by 06/10/2014, 10:34am PDT |
