That looked fun as hell. I don't know why Ryan is so quick to cry "JANK!" at the littlest hiccups. Would've liked to see some of the dialogue system, though.

I'd really have liked to see the PC version. I'm cautiously optimistic that some of the texture pop-in and screen tearing is improved...

for consoles, at least.

WOW. That looked awful. I didn't think the game was gonna be good when I first saw it, but thought it might turn out alright. I was wrong that was terrible. AI was weird and very stupid. That guard staring at the bar? How stupid is that. Is he worried about someone attacking him from the bar with no entrances?? Well whatever bad game is bad.

I haven't noticed either in the PC version. And the combat looked bad because he was rushing too much. It's not the type of game that shows off well in a quick-look anyway.
 
It looks like the game suffers the same problems as ME1, where the version of the UE3 engine they used just isn't optimized for consoles yet.
 
Not sure what to think of the game itself, but those animations are retarded/hilarious. He looks like he should be giggling as he sneaks, and humming a jaunty tune as he runs. What the hell was the animator thinking? :lol

Oh, and the enemies have some bad eyesight problems. They don't see you punching their buddy in the throat twenty feet away? Or when you walk right next to them?

Well, like Jeff said, he had skills and gear that suppressed enemy detection.

First ModNation Racers Quick Look they did with the developers turned me off slightly, but the new one with all the content people have made turned me back on, damn you.

I guess it's just Sony didn't knew how to hype/market this game.

I assumed as much, it's more of a quick save/quick load type of game, I imagine.

It's actually pretty difficult to rely on reloading since you can't quick save, which is good for the choice-heavy plot IMO (and they usually put a checkpoint right after dialogue, and you can't reload during cutscenes). They're pretty generous with checkpoints during missions though, which is nice if you're playing stealth.

When playing it I get the impression that sometime during development, someone said "hey, this guys sneaks way too slowly!" and they just sped it up without changing the animation... or maybe the speed was determined by your stealth skill at some point, either way, yeah, it does look odd, but you don't notice it as much while playing.

Looks gash, I never thought it'd be any good, but I know GAF had really high expectations for it. Shame.

He showed off combat, I don't think anybody looking forward to the game is doing so because of the combat. It's not a shooter, it's an RPG. It looks about like what I expected the combat to be, honestly.

The default buzzcut does look awful, not striking at all

They're going to do a railworks QL?

Maybe I can finally find out why this game keeps TAKING UP HALF THE STEAM STORE PAGE WITH THIRTY DOLLAR DLC.

I mean. Why it's popular.

IMO Alpha Protocol is a better RPG than Mass Effect 2 and if you enjoy games like Deus Ex or Vampire Bloodlines you should definately get it.

I strongly disagree with this statement. Yes, AP feels like a game that should have been released 3 years ago, but if you can get over that, it's a pretty cool game.
 
RailWorks Quick Look pretty awesome. I kinda want to check the game out, maybe if there's ever a really big sale on it on Steam. :lol

It was on sale a while back for $30 with a big chunk of DLC included. I missed it because I didn't realize it was just a weekend deal.
 
I am so happy they made another Train Simulator. I thought it was a dead genre, mostly because of the hate the kids gave it for not being about guns.

Don't think I really cared then, yet, so probably just ignored it. I'll wait until the next set of Christmas sales. :lol

Multiple quick looks within hours :o

Awesome !

yeah , the two Endurance runs for that shitty game caused the death of weekly Milabag videos ( RIP , I miss you sweet office ) and the lack of QLs during the last two months , now with only one ER left thing are better.

hope they don't do Endurance run ever again , or at least do it for but for decent game and not wasting their time and bandwidth with complete crap like Deadly Premonition.

For as much shit as we give Brad, he is pretty damn good at Doom :lol.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I'm amazed he managed to stay alive, especially since he got to 10% health or so right at the start. He's not exactly an amazing player at Doom (practically never using the sprint button is not a good sign), but he managed to keep himself alive most of the time so he deserves some praise for that. Well, as long as you ignore the last 1 minute anyway. Why the heck didn't he just run straight for the exit?

Seems perfectly logical to judge a RPG that's lauded for its writing and ability to do craziness on a short video preview. Completely.

I've heard too many good things about AP from other avenues to be turned off by that video.

He fared alot better than I would have. Then again I couldn't beat Duke Nukem 3D without cheats :(.
 
jesus that doom 2 QL quicklook nearly killed me. i foolishly tried to keep watching and got motion sickness so bad i had to go lie down.

and i actually played a whole ton of it when it came out.
