Really enjoyed Enslaved, I've always thought that with a sequel the devs could really build upon what they had done and refine the experience (think Assassin's Creed 1 to 2).

The combat would be much improved at 60fps actually.
I liked the game enough to get the Platinum.

So lead designer, not director. It'd still be a long stretch to say that anyway, given that he didn't have a senior/lead role on TLoU, he was "just" part of the design team.

I'm pretty up for this. This game would greatly benefit from a PC version.

Only thing I didn't care for was the combat. Loved the rest
Mega-flop.
And the only nice thing I can say about from the PS3 demo was the art-style was nice and the Uncharted Platforming wasn't awful. But the story and gameplay beyond that? Yeesh, do not want.

Really enjoyed Enslaved, hopefully this will give it a chance to get some more attention.
Sounds like you only played the demo and are commenting on story and gameplay? Yeesh.
if not I apologize

Really fun game. Graphics were nice on consoles, voice acting superb and a nice story. Gameplay could have used some more work.

I just bought it a week or two ago.
No time to play it yet though.

He's not wrong on either. The games saving grace is its dialogue, which is honestly the only thing Ninja Theory do right in any of their games.
Oh man I'd LOVE a PC version. Psyched.

Been hoping for a PC release since I played it on PS3, wasn't expecting it to happen though. Nice.

couldn't agree more, some battles were tedious because they felt like a slide show. would love to try it on PC.

Game with the most beautiful colors this gen. And best character-couple (together with Prince/Elika from PoP 2008). Would by a PC version on day 1.
Oooooooohhhhh.... Totally didn't read that part right.
DmC had terrible dialogues. I'd say the only thing they always get right is the art direction. All of their games looks stunning.

One of the few games, where the framerate really bothered me (gave me headaches).
Would play if rereleased on better hardware and good framerate.

I actually loved this game. The performance problems were sometimes noticable but not the absolute deal breaker the vocal part of GAF make them out to be.
I don't even think their art design is all that. There's no restraint it's just too damn garish. I love color but you still need apply in a manner that just feels right. NT games always come across as a rainbow vomit, they take it too far with brightness which makes their game look like early gen titles. I get the feeling they overcompensate.

This game came out in like 2008 why is it getting a re release now?
Brutal Legend came out in 2009 and got a PC release this year, primarily because Double Fine were chasing a little additional cash (IIRC). Not sure how Ninja Theory are doing financially.
Anyway, I quite liked Enslaved. For the right price I might double-dip.

Demo already exists. I didn't love it, but is the plot/characters interesting? I love the setting but can't decide if it's worth a play thru. Is it long?
I think most people who played it will tell you that the interactions between the characters are some of the strongest parts of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay well enough, but the storytelling was what kept me playing.
In terms of length, I think it's pretty standard, i.e. between about 6 and 9 hours, depending on whether you rush or not.

Come on dude, if you have held out this long you can hold out longer for the PC version. I remember buying the XBox 360 version for like $10 3 years ago and it normally went for that price.
I never got that.
You play as a dumb, but strong ape-like creature, who gets literally enslaved by a woman. You die when you get too far from that woman. Sometimes too far is some meters, sometimes it's much more. It's dependant on the level that you are in. Doesn't make sense, but whatever.
And then after a while
this creature seems to forget all of this and starts to "like her" despite still wearing that explosive collar. Trip even promised to remove it but breaks that promise, because lady wants revenge or something. And when she finally wants to deactivate it, the ape-like stupid character tells her not to, because he likes it or something like that.
Maybe it's supposed to be Stockholm syndrome. Maybe that character is too dumb to get it.
Maybe he likes getting blown up into pieces.
And it doesn't help when the game runs in the broken mess that is Unreal Engine 3. Especially for the PS3 version.
