SiN: Episodes

i'm not going to pass judgement until it comes out. look, if they have a fun, original take on killing guys with exploding barrels and everything else, then yeah, I may get it...but I guess i'd prefer to play a demo to be safe. will they release a demo on steam?

Probably post release on steam, maybe just before it comes out retail (they are planning that aren't they? I can't remember...)?

Quote from The Postman

Pipes will become the new barrels. Boring hallway? Add some pipes!

Pipes have been the new crate for a few years already.

I predict rubble pile will be the new crate or barrel. Decoratively, foliage will be the new pipe.

Nah, it'll be the Recycle Bin.

Practical AND sending the right message. Everybody wins!

excellent, now my map that is full of crates and boxes will be revolutionary

success is mine!

Absolute genius.

What was once textbook becomes INNOVATIVE.

Is this going to be in the shops? I never played SIN 1 so it'll be cool to play that through

I'll wait for the review in my favorite gameasmagazine for now,

Don't like the sound of episodic really.

Who cares is it looks like HL2 (or not) as long as its fun and makes a littlebit of sence.

Anyway I'm probebly not interested I wait for episode 1 even tough I wonder if its gonna be worth its money as well.

I expect some new things besides more story but I'm wandering off now .

i'm also sort of lol about them announcing 9 episodes at 20 bucks a piece.

Hello 180 dollar game.

Eh, 3 episodes is (supposedly) equivalent to 1 full game, then 3 'games' in the full series... Doesn't seem unreasonably out of the ballpark to me.

I don't think cynical mathematics work here, Mike.

If £12 nets me 5-6 hours of quality gameplay, then I don't see the harm. Whether it delivers remains to be seen, however.

its not cynical mathematics.

if a normal studio can make a normal 10-15 hours game in a few years, a SMALLER studio can't churn out the same quality for 5 times the content.

What it is- is a scam. So much filler it'll make your eyeballs bleed.

But hey, it's your money.

That's the beauty of an episodic game - you buy one episode, get the gist and if it's not your cup of tea you don't have to buy the rest

Maybe they make significant engine improvements or redirect the course of the game later down the line, fine then it's your choice to opt back in and buy another episode or two. But the whole point is it benefits the consumer because you can choose to buy as much as you want.

the day sin is released, if everyone on #mapcore go "OMFG LOLOOLO THIS GAME IS SOOOO DAMN GOOOOOD!!!!!!" (in a non-sarcastic manner). And Mazy buys it, writes a review and gives it 3~5 out of 5 georfs, then i'll buy it.

So you're opposed to episodic content in general? Like, you feel the same about HL2: Episode One?

Fair enough.

If the reviewers say its good, I might get it. Otherwise ill just stick with my old copy of SiN

well can't preorder it anyway so meh...

why dont they just fix their site n stuff..

There was a steam update the said it fixed an issue with some people not being able to preorder or something I think. Didn't really bother looking into it, as I didn't have any trouble preorder/preloading it myself. I'm not sure if its gonna be any good or not, but figure that for £12 or whatever it came out at, its worth a shot at least.
