Second this. I'm 12+ hours in and loving it. The game feel so smooth and the driving is good fun too.

this game is so so so awesome. loving it

This game is not good. In short, the plot is pretty dull, the voice acting is average (excepting a few characters), and the aesthetics are completely uninspired. It's all just amber monitors and 'future shine' with tons of useless clutter thrown in everywhere. I wouldn't really care much about those things if the game play was any good, but it's not. Dues Ex doesn't do much but sample and dilute the game play from superior titles. It doesn't do stealth nearly as good as splinter cell, thief, or Hitman. It doesn't do combat as good a myriad of recent and ancient titles too long to list, and the RPG elements are pretty bare bones. It's basically, talk to it, shoot it, stun it, or walk around it (hacks / stealth).

Poor voice acting, terrible looks and false choice do not make a great game. I've played the game for close to 5 hours now and am very nearly ready to uninstall. It's annoying at every turn. The game doesn't let you make the dialogue choices that would benefit the character I would like, but I'm not sure it matters. Be an average guy or be a slightly worse than average guy and things play out the same. It's really disconcerting going into a police station, shooting some cops, then waiting around until they forgive you. So realistic. Even if you can suspend your disbelief for these things, the unskippable cut-scenes, the general poor looks, often grating voice acting will get to you in the end

There is nothing good at all in this game. The AI is the single worst I have ever seen. The graphics (despite DX11) are very bad with overly simplistic environments made up of the same prop copied over and over. Likewise the sounds are repetitive and enemies will get on your nerves repeating the same thing over and over again. Character models look at least 4 years old, to compare I went to Half Life 2 which is 6 years old, about the same.

Well, I've been playing PC games since the 70's and the one thing I've learnt is that hype is usually a cover for mediocricy. Most people here seem happy to tow the line and click 10/10, but seriously few games have warranted such a blanket response. For me games should be about the experience you get, like reading a good book you should forget where you actually are and enter the imagnation of the writer. The amount of times I dropped out this game was shocking. It suffices to say that had this game been released 10 years ago it would have been jaw droppingly amazing but in the here and now, it is just plain bad.

"The reason I'm noticing frame drops is because frankly, I could play Rage asleep. Start quest. Drive to quest. Enter corridor. Shoot everything that moves. Leave corridor. Drive back to quest starter. End quest. Rinse. Repeat. "

"Why did you survive? Why did you get picked to enter the Ark in the first place? These are the questions you'll find yourself asking when you first enter the Wasteland - but only until you are overwhelmed by the striking beauty of your surroundings. "

Very short game not happy! :( 11hr

The reason it makes a difference is paid reviewers are accountable for their reviews. If they do a dodgy one and make mistakes they will get in trouble from their editor. The user reviews can be done by anyone, even people like you arc, which makes them inherently unreliable.

By some twist of black magic, I managed to finally find the exact solar alignment required to get the game running playable on this old ATI HD 4870 and man, those compatibility teething problems aside, it really does play nice.

I dunno what people expected.. honestly ID games have never had awesome single player.. hell the fkn boredom of doom 3? anyone? i couldn't even finish that game because it was pretty much this "pre-fire around corner, dead bad thing"

told you Carmack and his gang are D****.

They've lost it. Not having tested simple graphics testing on PC's blows me away.

if iv gone to east wasteland, is it too late for me to go back to wellspring to do the job board there?

Aren't all the problems solved now though? And pretty quickly too.

That's cool and all, but what was stopping them from doing this a week or two before release?

This has already been answered, it wasn't in ids plan to let people modify settings via the options menu. Instead they were hoping that there tech would work correctly detect the correct hardware and scale the software to the best settings... Which the game does do... but people b****ed.
