SiN: Episodes

[Pericolos0]

You are a quiet bad-ass who throws out a few choice (and lame) one-liners as you dispense sordid justice on the end of the same old weaponry. You will meet characters who will serve no purpose other than to explain what a level designer was thinking but along the way you will need to pick up health packs to recover from the 9000 bullet holes you were penetrated with. This is capped off by an almost endless supply of enemies whose AI the developer has been touting for months, but in the end you can kill many of them at a time with little problem because they constantly seek refuge behind conspiciously placed inflammable barrels that explode on contact with a single bullet.

That sounds like my kinda game actually

[Zacker]

Well I prefer that old school duke nukem like style over the ohhh-so-not-original-anyways-even-though-we-pretend-it-to-be style of HL2.

[Pericolos0]

hl2 also had exploding barrels near hordes of brainless enemies

[von*ferret]

read the article in "wired" about their dynamic difficulty and AI. Sounds interesting enough.

and i doubley hated it there because the game was so good.

call of duty 2 also did it... only near 88's and other highly incendiary things. which made it even stupider.

DOWN WITH EXPLODING BARRELS '06!!!

[Pericolos0]

but why remove something that is so much fun

[Minos]

I'm with peris on this one. Fuck realism, I just want to have fun when playing games.

You guys are too demanding some times

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

[Izuno]

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?

[ReNo]

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

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

[TomWithTheWeather]

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

[Tequila]

Nah, it'll be the Recycle Bin.

Practical AND sending the right message. Everybody wins!

[Bic-B@ll]

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.
