I finished just now, in 20 hours at insane, well balanced in this mode, except for chapter 16(the last waves really fucked me). I'm crying of joy, well, almost...This is the best FPS I've ever played, I fall in love from the first time, when Lo Wang sing in his car. I can't think (except HL2 and episode 2) to an FPS better than this.
I'm shocked, the only cons is bosses, very spectacular but boring at insane difficult, I quicksaved a lot during that.

Its a really good game and easily one of the best fps of the last years, mostly because most fps lately have been really bad. Shadow Warrior really delievers gameplay wise, but it still cant reach my favourites in the genre. but for that nice price its really awesome, I'd recommend it to anyone who even remotely likes fps.

Now 75% off on Steam!
Wtf, toally forgot this game and came in here expecting a trainwreck but the impression from the last page are all pretty good. Seems like a Call of Juarez: Gunslinger suprise which was one of my favourite FPS (for SP) of the last years.
Have to grab it soon.
Edit: going through this thread i'm probably going to need a better PC... Well, buy now play "later"...

I hope you kept names. The people who talked about HR need to be marked.

Picked this up in the steam sale, seems great from the intro alone. Lo Wang singing in the car :lol
Awesome combat outside of the boss fights which take a tad too long.

I've had a really good time with this game. But its become unfairly hard in the later stages. I think at this point Im just going to YouTube the ending

It's got a quick-save/quick-load function - how hard can it be with that?

Err... who told you bad things about Hard Reset? I've heard nothing but praise for that game and I loved it myself.
Edit:
I didn't like Hard Reset

This game has been more fun and entertaining for me in the first few hours than Bioshock Infinite.
I really liked the cliched humor. I didn't expect it to hold up so well after all these years! And I agree, The Katana is one of the best weapons ever in a game!

Having lots of fun with this. I also liked Hard Reset and finished it a few months ago. Flying Wild Hog really have my number.
I'm on chapter 14, and I have never really found a use for the SMGs outside of the bosses and those huge waves of annoying flying enemies. The damage mod plus akimbo makes them that much less of a headache.

Heads up: This game is now $9.99 on GOG limited time only!
No, but the more magic abilities you use in a fight the faster enemies go into a rage mode where they are harder to kill and do more damage. There is a magic ability that debuffs them though.

Wang Theory: Bioshock Infinite Part 1 | Part 2
This is amazing! How did they do this? Most of it sounds like new audio from the same voice actors...or maybe I have a bad memory.

I'm pretty sure It's all audio from the game, some words are cut and pasted to form new sentences though.

I just played the demo. Why didn't I play this game sooner??? It's amazing. I'm definitely picking it up. I can't believe it's not more popular.
Soooo you want some more Wang?

It was pretty fun, but, it does overstay its welcome.
Wow, talk about an underrated game...
It's amazing! I'm in the 5th chapter and I can't get enough of it.
- Swordplay is awesome. Gunplay is equally as awesome. It's good that they encourage you to switch up between those two, to get more karma.
- The unlock system is deep.
- I love that they reward exploring. Gives it that extra touch.
- Quick save feature!
But look at those Steam stats...
http://steamcharts.com/app/233130#All
Not really a lot of players. Even the spikes during sales aren't that high... sad_panda.jpg
(Edit: it's NOT a game that requires Steam so there's that though.)

And tip for newcomers: I'm playing on Hard and I still find it to be quite easy. So if you are experienced with shooters, only consider Hard and above please!
Most gamers took the Normal difficulty when checking the Steam achievement percentages: quite surprised at the low rates of the achievements for Hard difficulty...

Wow, this game released on PS4 and Xbox One with absolutely no fanfare. It's a shame nobody seems to talk about it anymore.
On that note, does anybody know exactly what was added to the console versions? I remember hearing about them having additional content and tweaks, but I can't find any specifics. And do we know if/when the PC version will be patched with the new stuff?

It's awesome on ps4. Framerate is solid and it's 60fps. There is screan tearing but it happens more in certain levels. I feel like there were only a couple levels where it was bad. Game is a blast to play.

I can't believe the flashing HOLD ANY BUTTON TO SKIP message during cutscenes cannot be disabled. What the fuck.
On the positive side, the cheesy Wang banter is delicious.

Bleh guess I'll get it, just hope that crap doesn't pop up. As much as I like 60 FPS, if the hardware can't provide for both it and vsync, just gimme a 30 FPS option that will offer it =_=

I've finished SW on PS4 lately. In short: perfection for fans of original gamę and also for fans of violent, not so mindless, long, single Player focused fps. Fantastic gamę. On ps4 most of the time game keep steady 60 fps but when it comes to a showdown, game drops to 30 fps. It's visible, you will feel it also on your controller but it will never get in your way with enjoying the game. It's not as bad as it sounds. At least not in Shadow Warrior. It took me about 16 hrs to finish and right now i'm playing NG+. Hidden gem. Every fan fps genre should play this!

Picked this up via the sale. Never played the original but played plenty of Duke. Fun game, reminds me of Serious Sam.

Picked this game up last week from the flash sale, and so far I've been very impressed with what I've played.
I'm only on chapter 10, but I really like the pacing in this game. Intense fights, separated by exploration and trying to find secrets/easter eggs.
This is what Duke Nukem forever should have been. The one liners are great, and the story is ok for what it's trying to be. Just good ol mindless fun that certain 90's shooters used to bring to the table.
