I've heard mixed opinions on this game from reviewers. So I am asking you.

Is it any good, should I get it?

It's alright.

I've been having fun with it but there are so many little flaws that ruin all the fun. Like how god damn DARK it is. Sure you could use your flashlight and be spotted by the enemy who will then make it their mission to fucking rape you in the ear and maybe you should since trying to sneak seems like a shit strategy. Maybe I've been playing it wrong but it seems like I spend 80% of the game cowering behind cover popping out for a few shots and missing at point blank range. Oh, but wait you're not missing. See what happens is when you hit an enemy they play a silly little "Oh no I have been shot" animation. And during this time they are fucking invincible.

I wish I was fucking joking. So this means you cant simply shoot shoot shoot and they die. You need to shoot, wait for them...they start to shoot back and then shoot again. Repeat until they're dead and you have about 5 of their friends pelting you with bullets. If you dont do this you will waste an entire god damn clip on a single mother fucker. And ammo gets pretty scarce really quick. Plus if you do manage to hit him and hes not in ANIMATION GOD MODE the game will simply not register your bullet. It just simply wont. For whatever reason, when you shoot with your ironsights dead on the motherfucker he will still be fine.

It's an alright game and I'm into it pretty far but the god damn little flaws are starting to ruin it for me. I was running around some train tracks not knowing where the fuck to go while 3 snipers pecked at my ass only to find out I need to go down some dark fucking staircase hidden in some corner.

it's dark in a horror game????????// alrert da news
flashlights alert enmies?? how unrealistic!!
i dont understand your complaints

though i haven't had the problem with the been shot animation thing.

Wait its supposed to be a horror game?
Sure maybe it's supposed to be horror in the same way Doom 3 was horror but it's not like Penumbra horror. Dark areas in horror games are fine but not when it gets in the way of actual gameplay and hides god damn paths you're supposed to find. >:C

thats what the flashlight is for...

Yeah but it was so hidden. What was worse is that I thought I was going the right way and they baited me with this idea by putting a sniper rifle and some ammo far away from where I was supposed to go. That was just mean.

realistically, paths aren't going to be so linear in a wasteland like that. ;)

True.

But a small light would have been super swell. :(

im playin, and when the guys go into the ibeenshot animation, i can still kill them. they just have a lot of life in general or something

Ah. Well thats weird.

Oh well guess I gotsa keep shootan.

I think this game is supposed to be a Doom+Call of Duty+Fallout 3 sorta game.

It is seemingly the best post apocalyptic game out so far,but that will all change when Fallout:New Vegas comes out....I CANT WAIT!

I dont give a shit about Fallout Las Vegas after they murdered Fallout ****ING THREE so badly

This game was really, REALLY great, if you can get past the bugs and forgive it for being linear as a lower case L (I sure can)

Oh, and if you can forgive the annoying set piece that was those glowing ****ing balls that attack you and your partner in D6. God damn that ****ing overly difficult part.

there's nothing wrong with linear.
