I've finally played the PC single player demo (don't know how's the Xbox one) and just don't know where to begin to rip off this absolute piece of trash.


The good:
-It doesn't look like a hardware crusher.


The duh:
-So-so music with a decent Unreal feeling.


The bad:
-The enemies are stupid to laughable levels. Here's this grenade launcher guy that fires against me, I run to avoid the explosion and then, the idiot instead of firing again starts chasing me and steps onto his own grenade blowing himself. What. The. Hell.
-Bad art. Whoever green-lighted those designs needs to go back to art school.
-Lots of graphic errors (brown screens, missing explosions)
-Worst havok implementation yet? You bet it! I can't almost notice it, really.
-Piss poor sound. Try to step up on a dead corpse and be amazed by the funky noise. Generic everything.
-Weird lightning. Some "bloomed" objects are so bright they appear to be radioactive.

Does somebody have the game? I'd like to know if it's better, so far the single player demo is every bit as bad as the multiplayer one.

the game fucking sucks, fucking over hyped piece of shit. I laugh at the IGN Xbox score, 8/10 my ASS.

Sounds like another DE fuckup :|

Too bad, it looked good. Oh well.

PC users stick to UT2K4 or better yet - get SWAT 4 instead (of wasting money on Pariah). This should've never leaved the console hood.

Your Xbox hate is getting more nonsensical by the day. The demo is bad even for the lowest levels, if the console version is something similar to the PC one, then it's equally terrible. None of its faults are the result of a sloppy port but simply bad development.

I might be wrong but this game was dev. first for PC and the premise wasn't too much based on the MP part (maybe on the xbox were the map maker feature has been very hyped) but I remember a video from OXM disc , they said that the game will deliver a very epic and solid campaign.

yeah, what the hell kind of word is "leaved" anyway?

Didn't X-Play just review this game the other night? (I don't have cable, I was at my mother-in-law's) They seemed to kind of like it, but also kind of hate it. Is this the game with the doctor?

 

[Lyte Edge]

Thanks for the heads-up on the demo. I'll give it a try tonight and see if it's worth getting (for Xbox) tomorrow or not.

EDIT: Interesting; been reading around and looking at reviews, and It sounds like all the hate is going towards the single player campaign, which I could really care less about, so maybe I'll go ahead and get rid of Doom 3 CE for this after all.

Sorry, but where is the demo? I checked FilePlanet, FileShack and FileFront and none of them seem to have it.

It is 1997 all over again!


I've found something cool, I kinda like the semidestructive enviroments. This also has a bad side as some unexpected debris can kill you in the most stupid ways when playing with explosives (which BTW seem to be less lethal than the projected debris WTF?)

PS: flamethrowers are teh suck.
