Takes more than 10 hours to finish... unless you play on the easiest level and just run through the game

I have mixed feelings about the game, here's a few up 'n' downs that comes to my mind:

Pro:
Looks good
I like the large open spaces
Lots of nature
Great setting
The game is fun

Cons:
There are no quick ways to get from point A to point B. As you often have to walk back to where you came from, you will end up spending a lot of time just walking
You can't go to sleep, so if you want to attack at a certain time, you have to wait
You can't see what time of the day it is
The user interface is annoying
There's a lot of bugs in the game e.g. I just finished a mission, went back to get my payment... but the guy who should pay me is dead. The game keeps telling the mission is not over until I get paid, but since he's dead I can never finish the mission

Haven't played enough to have any strong opinions yet but initial impressions I would agree with Adagio.

The specs are pretty demanding although I'm running it in Vista with a DX10 card so like for like comparisons are probably of limited use.

There's a bit too much 'click next' during the dialogues and combat has been pretty fatal for me so far. You're not as bullet proof as in some of the FPS I've played in the past. But also I'm just not very good at FPS...

Teaser is out, but their server cant handle the load.

Torrent available here:

Watching now

[Lemmy]

Teaser says Fall 2008 (and War, war never changes).
..aand, well...it's a teaser, nothing substantial...the music fits in well with the other 2 games.

Not really worth the 30 day countdown imo.

[Adagio]

I'm losing faith in them... and I haven't even seen the teaser yet... the teaser is a .mov file

I'm not going to install evil on my machine just to watch a teaser

[Lemmy]

It's on youtube now as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxSdbSNckTQ

[Adagio]

Thanks...


That's one hell of a boring teaser, shows absolutely nothing. What is the point of that one? After seeing that teaser I have even less faith in them

[Lemmy]

But it has Ron Perlman

[Adagio]

It has

[Lemmy]

the "War, war never changes"-voiceover?

[Adagio]

Ahh... I don't know his voice well enough to recognize it

[Lemmy]

Well, i didn't know who he was till i read it on the bethesda forums

[Adagio]

Oh, I don't travel those parts of the internet

[Nostromo]

They'll have Liam Neeson too, IIRC. They shouldn't waste their budget on that ****, IMO. First, nobody gives a damn. Second, look what happened in Oblivion. They used three or four voice actors for the all the NPC's in the game. It was silly.

[ZargonX]

Well, it looks good, and they claim it's "in-engine," though I don't know if I buy that. But, seriously... Fall 2008? Wake me up when they have something real to show...
