just cut to the balanced mp!

I don't think it'll take long. I maybe played 30min tops on Christmas night, 3-4 hours yesterday and I think people have said there are eighteen chapters? I'm already on Ch 16. Either the Normal campaign is easier, is shorter, or I've become much better at FPS's than I thought I had.

I redeemed my online pass and got all my GR unlocks, so I'll probably play online some just to see what state it's in.

No, it's not that difficult, but I did my first playthrough on Difficult figuring that easy or normal would be, well, too easy. Superhuman is more of a challenge (though only a few scenes are really difficult).

You mean there's no chance I've improved over the last four years I've been using the controller?

Oh yes, I'm sure it's that.

The campaign is so short. It was fun though, but it didn't answer any burning questions.

yea, thats pretty much the consensus.
literally not hing was answered

Ummm.... so what questions were people wanting answers to?

For me it went like this:

R:FoM -- Nathan Hale kills all the Chimera in the UK and gets taken into custody by SRPA Black Ops agents.
R2 -- Nathan Hale kills a few more Chimera and then his friend Joe drills him through the noggin
R3 -- With Nathan out of the way Joe has to roam the country killing Chimera himself and, thanks to his skill with a Magnum, destroys the wormhole and causes the USA to be released from the refrigerating effects of the Chimeran night club scene. It ends with everybody beginning to take back possession of their cities again. Oh, and along the way, Malikov gets a cap popped in his ass as recompense for his appalling accent.

So what else needed to be said? Or am I really too shallow and, as long as I get to go 'pew pew pew' and things blow up as a result, am completely satisfied?

Well, we could start with "Why are the Chimera here?" and go from there.

wtf happened to the cloven?
they dropped them after FoM (i dont consider retribution as a real resistance game)

they built an awesome universe in FoM and then decided to shit all over it for no apparent reason

Tbh I don't care about the Cloven. I saw them in the FoM until and thought they must be important, but when they never showed them in the game I assumed they weren't. Because, well, if they WERE important than maybe some campaign time might have been spent talking about them.

You'd think that if they were important they would show up in other places besides intel. Maybe their existence is an excuse Malikov's later motivations and work.

maybe the cloven just packed it up and hoofed it back to wherever they came from. get it? HARHARHAR.

Things needing answered:

1. everything cryptic that Daedalus said other than "our stars will shine in your skies" (including, but not limited to: we were here first, chimera are the evolution of man, something about not being enemies)
2. everything mentioned in co op intel about Cloven/Leben Geist and special powers (seeing as we haven't seen any special powers from the Sentinels)
3. everything about the supposed third race and the chimera from before
4. gray tech. so hard.
5. What happened to the rest of the world? I can buy that the Chimera were spread thin enough with protecting the wormhole in New York that the few thousand that Joe killed made a big enough dent for Americans to start a successful rebellion, but what about the rest of the world where the resistances aren't as big?
6. Where'd hawaii go?
7. Are there still peoplea live in Australia?

from Australia j

lol


I did beat this game last night for the first time. The ending was a bit anticlimactic.
Since it was only 4 bucks I did get the brutality pack as well. The survival mode isnt nearly as weak as i thought it would be....but its still not Nazi zombies. I dont want to compare.
I just know what I like.

First multiplayer game in a long time last night. So long in fact, there was an update I wasnt even aware of. Ive discovered what it is I just dont like about it. Its too easy. My first game back since release and I went 24-14. I know its not the greatest, but not the slaughter I was expecting.

There were plenty of Christmas newbs though.

I don't find it easy. I still have trouble breaking 1.0 kd. It's supposed to be casual-gamer friendly, but I still get slaughtered. The lack of maps really bugs me.

I should rephrase that. With Spotter and thermal, its much easier. For me anyhow.

Maybe I'll give it another go, but I go sick of the same five maps and those f'ing Wildfire spammers on Prison. In fact, anything on Prison is miserable. Same goes for Park.

Thats one of the many things that bugged me before I stopped playing. The scenery gets boring fast if you stick to tdms as I often do.

What else would you play? DM has about 3 maps, unless you play small DM, but I honestly can't see the point in playing a game with only one or two other people in it. I just cannot see the logic behind putting only 12 maps in a game and then dividing them up across 4 game modes. A lot of stuff about this game looks like it was done in the somebody's spare time and even then only after several beers had been chugged.

Meanwhile, at insomniac Games



"Let me help you up so we can start working on those maps."

I honestly think that's a pretty good description.

They DID get called one of the best places to work at...

This game on superhuman is pissing me off. If a chimera even looks at you, you fall down.

This is my experience with R2 Superhuman. I don't even know what FoM Superhuman is like, and I feel no need to try finding out.

Somehow I managed FoMs.

R2 I just couldnt handle the story enough to try but since this is the winter of Sixs trophy hunt I will find myself on it again.


IM making progress on R3 but its just so slow going.

A good example.
The Brawler in the post office.
Normal play through: Dead in under 2 minutes
Superhuman play through: Took at least 10 tries
