I wanna cut dalton in half and count his rings.
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Demo was really fun, but I don't know anyone getting and could already tell it would be 10x better with buddies.
It's definitely more fun with friends, no argument there.
Will pick this up, but when the price lowers. Been hankering for some co-op fun so might try and coax my buddies to pick it up with me.
What about those that don't have access to the demo? Some people don't like it and it's important that those impressions are shared, as are the positive ones. If you're upset about others shooting positive opinions down, take action with them. But don't call me out as a troll when I've done nothing of the sort. You're allowed to like the game, as others are allowed to dislike it. That does not make them trolls.

People who don't have access? Show me a GAF member who's system isn't connected to the Internet, and I'll show you a unicorn.
Bandwidth issues? Connection issues? Can't afford Wi-Fi adapter? Location of console too far from router? Too lazy to download? Would rather read opinions from people they trust and respect?
Posters should be allowed to share their negative opinions of the game without being labelled trolls. It's not fair. I'm not gonna derail this any further, so I'm done.
Posting a "period" quoting a troll post, or "the other thread was better" isn't being informative. Neither are posts that include very vague descriptions of opinions. No sympathy on my end. Thus far, those who have played it and enjoyed it have been far more informative and constructive than those who have simply posted "didn't do anything for me".
If you want to be taken seriously, post something worthy of serious discussion. Until then, in my eyes, you're just posting for "the lulz" and "trolling".

There are rumors they're working on an Xbone exclusive.Hopefully this game doesn't kill Insomniac when it bombs
Anyway, I expect I'll pick up Fuse, though probably a bit later once I've cut down a bit on my backlog and I convince a buddy to co-op with me.

Real talk, you need to stop being so sensitive about this. People are going to have opinions on video games in a video game forum and you just need to let it go sometimes.
What the heck is wrong with you? Have you got afew screws loose upstairs?
A found out something quite nice about controlling different team members. It's not story related, but I put it in a spoiler tag just to make it sure.
You will see some character based flashbacks only if you control the affected team member at the time he/she has it.
And if you're controlling another member at that time, you see your comrade having hallucinations.

Heh that is cool.
Same with me sorry gaf bros you will have to wait.
Now THAT is cool. I was wondering why a game hadn't done that yet. It would be cool to have a CO-OP shooter where you have a to coax a partner out of their hallucinations, by telling them what is and isn't real. Instead, from what I saw in FUSE, the team have a shared hallucination.
Also, on the point of the game being more fun CO-OP, every game is that way. Even if the game is bad, you can have fun when you and your CO-OP partners react to how bad it is. Although, if I had to commit to a character, it would have to be Naya. The moments of sleuthing were something I enjoyed from the demo.

I didn't bother playing the demo because it wanted me to create an Origin account and I just was not in the mood. Don't put barriers to entry in your marketing. (Yeah I know there was an offline mode hidden somewhere I couldn't find it)
It's like putting an ad before a ad on YouTube. You get about 4 seconds patience from me in 2013.

Excuse me? I did none of what you just said. As a matter of fact I was trying discuss until you jumped down my throat and told me to stop trolling. Who are you to judge whether what I am saying is serious discussion or not? Wait. I think I know the answer to that question.
FUSE is going to be Insomniac Games best piece of software yet. I can't wait to enjoy all the different and unique gameplay experiences it will have to offer. In fact, it's going to be the only game I buy all year. I'll likely buy it twice. I may go so far as to rent advertising space on a billboard so I can plaster "Resilient recommends FUSE!", so that we can all enjoy this game that I have yet to play has to offer.
Can't remember if I asked this in the other thread or here. But what's the situation for DLC with this game?
I know this may not make any sense but my final purchasing decision (1 or 2 Copies) will be decided on whether I will get an answer from Mucudadada & jstevenson on my GAF PM's or my Tweets (one of them answered already). I will wait until the release day to see if they answer me back regarding my letter (posted in the unboxing FUSE thread, thank you all for the kind PM's I got regarding what I wrote by the way).
I really hope they can at least give some sort of answer just for respect & kindness to their fans.

With that being said this game is the game to grab a couple of friends and get some action going after a tiring day at work. Going to be nice to chill out with your friends.
By the way nice thread fellow GAFfer, simple and Clean.

I remember when Overstrike was announced and people lost their shit because it looked like NOLF
Good thing you got all that hate out of your system man, it's not healthy.
Now we can party in this thread.
Is Origin a sin or something? Also, is it too much trouble to ask for people to log into another account besides your PSN/XBL, when it doesn't even affect gameplay?
I tried MGO with MGS4. But even then, I remember that being exceptionally bad. Here it's 3-4 seconds of extra loading when you boot the game, then you're done.No one likes multiple accounts. Just ask MGO, man.
Oh wait, you can't. MGO is dead.
Logging into my email takes more effort. But sure, if origins goes down at some point, preventing online play, then I'll say this was a terrible mistake. But until then.

Character design looks very 1990's.
2 player split screen, offline or online iirc.
Insomniac was one of the first developers to introduce RPG elements in their action oriented games. They've been doing it for 10 years now, you don't suppose they'd suddenly just stop
I didn't wanted to mention it, because it's nothing like NOLF, but still some environments gave me NOLF vibes.

Didn't Dead Space 3 do pretty much the same thing?
Impressions update: FUSE is a lot of fun.
Story is not very special (I guess I'm somewhere in the middle of the game) and lacks a bit of personality. Still, it keeps you engaged and there are some fun conversations between the team members. I doubt that it will get more interesting story wise...
But the combat is so much fun, that I actually don't care about anything else. I would have liked more "standard" weapons, but you can always switch to another character if you prefer another playstyle. The shooting mechanics and special weapons are just great. As your abilities are updated, the game gives enough possibilities to change things up. And of course you go through all the standard 3rd person shooter situations we know and love/hate (defend position while you wait for the elevator...) but there is enough variation so that it keeps things fresh. Your team members use their powers too, so that you can rely on them during fights.
Controls are very tight. It's more gears than uncharted, also regarding gameplay, because you barely have climbing/platforming sections and there are no puzzles. You walk, take cover and shoot, nothing else.
The game looks very good (for a console game). At times there is so much going on, without any slow downs, that it's quite impressive. In a positive sense, you see that it's a game at the end of this generation.
I read so many negative things here, I hope people give this game a chance. For me it's almost like Far Cry 3, where the gameplay is so good, that I don't care that everything else isn't very unique. I still hope the story has some twists, otherwise I'm surprised how much fun I'm having.

I should clarify, that I wasn't trying to suggest you were trolling, rather, that the individuals who are clearly in this thread to "make fun" were trolling. I don't mind negative opinions, they're necessary. I also don't believe, however, that it is anyone's civic duty to "warn" people, specifically when you're speaking to something as subjective as the enjoyment of a video game. That's really silly, no two ways about it, IMO. There are also a fair number of people who came into this thread specifically with the intent to troll, making posts like "The other OP was better", and some people making thinly veiled jabs at me. It's just stupid.
As for DLC, there is none day one, and I don't believe any is planned. I could be wrong though, we'll have to wait and see for an official statement I suppose.
Since it's an EA game, they'll probably be embargoed until release day.
I was thinking this as well, would have been cool if it had some of that 90s attitude.
I don't believe redbox has it.

Seems like a missed opportunity to put mild platforming in a game and keep it completely segregated from the combat encounters. From what I played in the demo I would've appreciated more verticality in the battles.

hmm did not enjoy demo but I only played a single character, the swap mechanic was likely to blame now I think about it (I should have switched to the shield guy)
Will probably give it a second chance given the goodwill they built up with me for the ratchets and R3

This! So much this.
Thanks. It's fun with friends, but considerably more fun in Echelon mode. The difficulty scales with the number of players, so playing solo and playing with friends are, I thought, pretty unique to one another.

Nope...they don't exist (offically)...no official heads
I looked for pictures of their heads that matched the box art.
Initially, I thought there was input lag as well, but there actually isn't. There is a delay with movement, but that's almost certainly to add "weight". All other actions are instant (test it out yourself). Shooting, aiming, interacting with objects, etc. When you sprint movement is instant, where as it is slow when walking.

I am throwing an Angry Centaur review up later tonight. Official ones are Tuesday morning probably.
Well that's me you and Grave so far.
