Nice score, but it's weird it was Alex how is doing the review and not Jeff or Ryan.

If it don't have The Final Countdown again I will cancel my pre order and sells all Volition games I have for a dollar.

Yes, they are. Actually, I canceled my pre-order half because of Sterling's review, half because my plate is full. Given the price is still there I may reconsider, but Skyrim, Zelda, Batman Arkham City, Corpse Party, then probable Black Friday sales... If I got it I'd probably axe Arkahm City, which actually isn't too bad an idea given it's probably going to be in the winter sale anyway.

I have a feeling that GMG pre-orders won't get their steam keys till Monday (as was the case with Deus Ex HR iirc). Oh well, only 3-4 days left now.

Anyone else who ordered off of THQ's site get the game? I was surprised to see it today, especially considering since I just started to play Skyrim.

Digitally removed I guess or just covered by some makeup.

I wonder if SR3 have Mike's infamous tattoo or not (or at least something similar to it since we don't want Victor Whitmill to sue Volition because of it)

Damnit , I shouldve ordered it there. And you get the season pass free right? At least on Amazon I got it for $30.

I am pumped to play it, but I am in the middle of some serious Skyrim action. What is strange is that I didn't get anything about Professor Genki, even though I preordered it off of THQ.com.

I thought so, but there is only an online code to access full multiplayer features..weird.

Buying this game, expecting it to be a Just Cause 2 with more (tasteless) soul.

Loved Volitions RF: Guerilla, best sandbox this gen along with JC2. I was however very disappointed with the demo of RF: Armageddon, I wonder why the hell did they get rid of the open world? Such a ridiculous design choice.

RFG was great open world,You should try Saints Row 2 too it's imho best open world this gen, (JC2 was too repetitive and and empty for my taste)As for the abomination that called Armageddon, it's clear that THQ/Volition wanted a corridor shooter game like Gears and thought it will sell more.

And what hurt the most ( aside from removing RFA's open world) is also removing competitive multiplayer ( Red Faction: Guerrilla has the best multiplayer mode in this generation imo),but.. oh well Red Faction IP is dead now so let forget about it and move on.

Is GreenManGaming the cheapest place to get this game for Steam?
Click to expand...

Pretty much. I don't know what current coupons they have up but I bought it when they had a 15% one up and it brought it down to $34, which I was then able to knock down to $27 with the credit I had already.

Maybe, but the shooting in RF:A was solid and the set pieces were pretty well done. I think the game gets way more hate than it deserves. If the gunplay and controls in SR3 are as good as they were in RF:A it will be one of my GOTYs.

Making sequels that don't iterate on the elements that made the prequel(s) great is pretty pointless IMO.

Then again, RF: Guerilla just got really unlucky and was forgot in the fanboy war between Infamous and Prototype, which were both mediocre and inferior to RFG.

I don't even wish to speak about RFA.

The SP was garbage,story and events, big fights were all over the place,also it's repetitive as fuck too.

The good thing about putting games on steam is it's security. That's like wanting to pick a lock that is not even created yet. Steamplay = no early play for PC. I thought about buying the console version too just to play it early but it's not that serious. 3 days.

So true. I know they were desperate because RFG hit the bargain bin incredibly fast, but still.

I thought of that really, but it's a sandbox game that will most likely get some crazy awesome mods ( even the bad PC port of SR2 got them) so it's PC all the way even that I will wait even longer.

RF:G sold very well ( over 1 million) actually.

THQ just wanted to make it pure shooter for more sales, but ended with shitty results on all fronts.

I bet RF will resurrect. I remember playing the original. The idea of being able to blow a hole through just about anything was just asking us to go crazy. I love freedom in games, and RF was probably one of my first games to allow so much.

Honestly I want them to go back to being a first person shooter.

That doesn't really speak to my points though. The act of shooting things in RF:A felt good. The environments and the enemies that inhabited them blew apart impressively when you wrecked shit with the varied armaments. The set pieces were more of that but on a larger scale.

Conversely, the shooting in nearly every other sandbox game I've played is somewhere on a scale of meh to bleh. The salient point here is that, as far as I'm concerned, Volition has already proven that they can do shooting right. So that gives me confidence for that aspect of SR3.

The shooting in RF:G (open world) was ace still the best of any open world game out there, still RF team was a different team that SR guys, but from the videos I think SRTT is more like RF:G in gunplay/shooting mechanic ( and Jeff Gerstmann of GB said it's very good).

Since they don't force you to do side stuff now (like other open world games) that look about right,also I think 8 hours is way longer than SR2 "main story" missions.
