Can I buy it directly from the devs? I don't want any of my money going to a scumbag publisher.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 3:42 pm**

I heard Bethesda made it. Bethesda sucks.

I tried to play it but it was too damn dark..I couldn't see a thing. save your $29.99 and just wait for the movie.

Did you update your videocard drivers? This game requires directX 9.0c compliance you know. The reference drivers should do the trick.

Forget it. I only play this type of game with a mouse and keyboard.

Ok, I understand that you don't like his games, and, yes, he often times deserves the reatcion he gets, but can we just cut out the Derek-bashing and focus on the 29.99 itself?

That last one made me LOL for real!

Come on people! We're in page two already. Where are the impressions?

Here's mine:

The manual fails the lift test. It has no helpful information at all. I am installing as I type. I intend to write more impression as I spend more hours on this damn thing.

It's also available to download online via MIST. This puts more money in the devs pocket. F**K them money hungry vulture egg sucking publishers!!!!

I refuse to purchase a game that supports the gay robot agenda.

My impressions?
I like the GUI, I like the attention to detail in the crates, but why are there so many crates? This is supposed to be a swimming sim!
I also hate that you have to be connected to Maets when you play.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 4:20 pm**

Ahh, I couldn't take the OO pressure anymore and caved in and bought it. I will have impressions after teh wife and kids go to bed. With something like this I can't risk the kids sneaking in behind me and catching a glimps of it.

You see.... this is what happens when there is too many WoW threads. The rest of us are willing to jump in and talk about anything but WoW.

You're being harsh. Sure the interface is clumsy but when you get used to it you'll find out that this time they lived up to the hype. This is a living breathing world. Your actions make a difference, and it's up to you the game plays out.

This is their best game since SkyNET without a question.

"You people"? Did you just refer to us gay robots as "YOU PEOPLE"???? What gives you the right to refer to us as that, you insensitive bastard? If you don't stop the gay robot bashing, I will hunt you down.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Buy it for 29.99?!?! You are kidding yourself. You will never be able to buy this game - it's vaporware. From what I hear it won't get finished until the developer gets done turning his fallout shelter into a mansion.

Did you know that Dave the Barbarian did the voiceover for the main lifeguard character in the dune buggy scene?

Did anybody spot the G-Man yet?

The first time that you see him, he is taking a leak in the alleyway by the Dunkin Donuts. I think that he is peeing into a jar. It looks like a Hellman's jar. What did he do with the Macy's bag that he was holding on the roof of the Home Depot by the dock?

I have to replay that level tonight after work!

C'mon 5:00 o'clock!!!

I'm so sick of posters like Goonch and Albert Belle posting spoilers in perfectly ambiguous gaming threads.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 5:04 pm**

I wouldn't bother, it seriously fails the lift test. Time to send those guys a message!

Is it possible for me to get the magical doorstop of smelting without having purchased the collector's edition? I've always wanted a magical doorstop of smelting, but am unwilling to pay extra for it.

God damn it, this runs like total crap on my rig. I'm probably getting 20 fps MAX.

I hate these games where you have to drop $500 just to get it to a playable level.

Casual gamers my ass.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 5:29 pm**

you know kadoth, you can get that from the same place you get <edited, COC rules>. i hear that the no- <edited - no point in leading people astray> also gets you an extra 10-15 fps. it's the best <edited out just because> you'll ever have. and don't forget the nude patch either. it's very easy with $29.99. all you have to do is <edited - why make it so difficult for me to do my job?>

READ THE FRICKIN THEAD!

This is just like all the whiners on the Official Forums. Jeez.

Shouldn't it be Tareeq saying this?
"Exterminate!"

That depends on what park we are talking about, the one in the east side or the one on teh WEST SIDE!!!

No you d---, that's "Out of the Park".

Oops! I accidentally edited this, CSL. I meant to quote you and reply. Gack! I blame Meal and Blackhawk for moving this to Bargain Bin so that my mod powers would accidentally manifest!!!!

This game murdered my uncle's mother in law's pet cochroach.
Thanks Starforce! Thanks for murdering!

I heard the game has actually turned Eudardo X into a conservative young Republican. We should be seeing his handle change to REAGANWASAGOD soon.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 6:59 pm**

Pfft. This game reaks of consolitis and is just another dumbed-down shoddy port. This is truly the sign that PC gaming will die in 2005.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 7:12 pm**

I decided against my better judgment to return to this and surprise! If you keep playing it gets better... in fact it gets awesome. I think you guys just need to get past the level in the park.

Everyone knows PC gaming died in 1995. Everything your playing now is being sent to you from beyond the grave.

Where's the Nazi Game Reviewer?

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 7:26 pm**

Meh, I tried it and it's just more of the same. Where's the innovation in today's games?

And GameSpot's review score was way too high.

Posted: **Wed Jan 12, 2005 7:33 pm**

Why can't I get it on DVD?
