Anyone in to this game or thinking about? Sickest game I've ever played :shock:
 
I remember seeing something about it on the 2nd disc of Revolution, but it didn't really catch my eye. The fighting seemed kind of sloppy like GTA fist fights but I was dead tired when I was watching it so I'm not completely sure. Encountering someone from the movie always seemed kind of neat. What's the point of the game though, I need a break from FF and this might be it, if you highly recommend it.
 
I've only spent about 5 hours on it so far, I plan on playing it a little more tonight if I can find time away from FF. Anyway, I'll write up a semi review when I have more experiance within the world. All I can say now is that it is very different, the fighting is a uniqe almost turn based system yet faster and depends ALOT on fast thinking. I did a few missions last night as well and they were alot of fun. It seemed like they are in style of Splinter Cell / Syphon Filter. The way you can be and do anything by building your very own specific original character is also very nice as you never have to trap yourself in a job. Also the way you can combine job abilities **seems** endless. For instance, for mission A you can use this certain set-up then if mission B requires a different strat you can return to the hardline (phone booth) and upload new skills to replace the previous skills you used that are useless for the mission. Right now I'm new to it and of course love it so let me get some time under me before you believe me ;) I can assure you though it's no where near GTA in anything but maybe enviroment. This is a totally different game.

Sounds a lot like FFXI's system, with the moogles being hardlines.

And isn't combat move-countermove based? Can never find a decent description anywhere...
 
{/wave}s back.

Camera's over here!
 
lol Is your name really "thereisnospork" because if so, you are my new idol. I love sporks lol
 
Yeah, my name really is thereisnospork 8)

As to the combat--my poor coworker's veins start popping when people describe it as rock-paper-scissors, though I can see how people would think that with the way the combat interface looks. Maybe this splains it better: http://thematrixonline.warnerbros.com/web/live/news_display.jsp?id=020105_combatintro (the "what is interlock" part).

PS-my coworker: "dice rolls! it's dice rolls!"
