Licorice-flavoured booze?
Are there any options to change the sensitivity of the analogue sticks because I can't find any ?

Did you expect to the AI to be 'challenging' on a demo? I read the same things for the Uncharted demo back last year. I'm sure they dumbed down the game so it can be demoable and easier to access. Would it be more fun if the AI killed you time after time after time?

And it sucks that cack...
Controls feel loose, graphics really aren't that great, you can walk thru everything (I walked thru a tree trunk that was massive in size), and the game just doesn't have the solid feel of timesplitters...

The AI wasn't why it sucked.

Yeah, that is two totally negative comments about this game, you said you see why it has recieved the sh*t it has, and you say it "sucked" but you have not offered one reason why.
Give impressions and your opinions with explanations and you are adding to this conversation, just dropping retarded one liners saying it sucks is trolling.

wow, this is smooth as buttah, well, as smooth as 30fps locked can be, and the graphics look really good!
aiming is SMOOTH and slick, configurable controls, MUAHAHA R1 as shoot or R2 as shoot, you decide!
DTS, and man everything sounds so crisp, the handgun makes me wet.
did anyone else OD on nectar just for te hell of it? funniest thing is one of my AI buddies OD'd on nectar and after shooting at us a few times, the other guys just killed him off.

Hmm, the co-op game seems to play entirely different. Enemies seem smarter. Maybe since they don't have to control team AI.

Those are the most "cliche" reasons for hating a game. Did you even play it? If I were going to say I hated a game and act like I played it, I would say the same thing as you did.
Here are my reasons why any game I have never played, sucks:
"Oh, the story sucked, it was not engaging at all. The AI is stupid, they dont think like a military trained squad. They would choose to stand and fire versus running around and duelling it out. The graphics are only average, there are a lot of jaggies and I witnessed some screen tearing and framerate dips when the action got frantic!"
See, that is not hard to do kid!

I really can't believe someone is accusing me of bashing a demo I haven't played... but OK.
Yeah, I did play it. And I thought the demo was whole fully bland. Seemed to have been made by a group of amateurs following How To Make a Console FPS For Dummies.

Have to say, after a few more goes I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be.

I did and still could not find you say anything substantial that actually made it sound like you played it. And if you did, your impressions are so generic they could be plugged in for any game released the past 56 years.
Okay, played through it. I'm totally impressed. I see the "generiatrics" are back...can you explain how this game is a generic shooter at all? The nectar really, REALLY changes stuff up.
I'm very impressed with what I played. First I'll say the bad: I think the graphics are ass. Like I can't believe how ass. Very blurry, low res texturing, meh animations, only okay models, whatever. However, there are really neat special effects that are triggered by the nectar and stuff.
Controls feel really nice. Got your nice gushy analog administer button where it should be...feels good to hold it like you would be injecting a needle. Grenades are where they should be. I'd like reload and switch weapon to switch positions on the controller. Very impressive use of rumble. Teammate AI I didn't really notice, but I liked how enemies would move behind cover. The teammates say a lot of stupid shit. Oh well, four player coop so no big deal, right?
The nectar is awesome...it really makes the gunplay something different. You can see really, really far ahead of you at the expense of peripheral vision, and you can see the range of grenades. You are also stronger and you can melee like in crackdown-- send people flying.
You have to constantly watch your nectar levels while always in gun battles, and the actual adrenaline rush of combat can cause you to screw up administration at times as you try to get the best charge of Nectar you can.
The writing seems a little hokey and the voice acting is unremarkable.
Could people calling the game "generic" please stipulate what generic means to them and then how Haze falls into this categorization? Thanks.
There seems to be a lot of potential here. Like the setpieces. Like the nectar. Like how the guns feel (without rumble I could see this being a huge problem-- things feel like a pee shooter).
Totally don't get why the game looks so bad.
B+ here maybe? Maybe better with coop?
Edit: Here's something awesome: if you kill someone while on nectar, you get a nectar boost. So you are encouraged to get into a rhythm and really go on a spree. And I LOVE the sound of all the teammates around you doping up.

Turok had a knife.

I had no probs with it.
And i don't see how the nectar is changing anything. Without the nectar you can barely see the enemies and you lose health fast, so you kick up the nectar to see better and regain health, or adrenaline, whatever, then it becomes a walk in the park.

Can I download from the EU store after the new redesigned store update? I've established my Japan account but I haven't got around to configuring a European one. Thanks!

The demo is free, no?WinFonda said:
Not downloading a demo, which is free, to justify whether you really like or hate the game, seems weird to me.

I still don't understand why there was any hype for this in the first place, but I'll give it a try tomorrow regardless.
