agreed - this is not a AAA game
Ouch... This game was never on my radar and I didn't play the first one. I'm still looking forward to playing through the campaign but I'm super glad I got this game for free...
They canceled all of these orders - and it made me sad lol

It never looked great but I thought it looked interesting at the very least.

First 2 missions of Timesplitters 2
They don't need to point at it and say "This is bad" to critique it.
Only Siberia and Chicago from the review version (and Chicago was buggy at the end, couldn't finish it).

Gamestop video review in progress actually was surprisingly positive given some of these incredibly low scores. I also liked how they showed how the different areas looked, eg it was cool seeing a very colorful setting with brightly colored trees like in watchdogs.
The jim sterling glitch videos are hilarious though. At first I thought he had slowed the video down for dramatic effect with the person running in slow motion but then a regular person walked by at normal speed lol.

Just seeing that game in action again makes me so sad. I would kill, KILL for a new TimeSplitters, or even just ports of the old ones!
I mean, I'm even considering this game for this alone!!
Based on Eurogamer's review, the game devolves into the exact same pattern i was hoping it would not. One note xenophobia turning into brutalization.
Basically the resistance just turns out to be a more bloodthirsty force than the occupyers and probably just turned into a gang of thugs that ended up putting the civilians under their own martial law after they were done with the occupying force.
It reminds me of FC4 except FC4 actually had a lot of self inflection about that.

"WHY HAVEN'T THEY CHECKED IN YET!?!?!?"
Yeah noticed. Impossible to see if its friend or foe. How the fuck did that even pass testing? ADS is kinda critical to be effective.
Not to mention the lag, its freezing constantly during combat.
Man i wanted this to be so good. Like a cool B movie plot. Why'd you have to be so bad? ;(

What a shitshow.
I held out the smallest shred of hope that this would at least be decent in a B-tier sense. But major performance woes, long frequent stutters and hitches, a lack of finishing and polish evaporate even that hope, and that's before talking about the actual meat and potatoes gameplay.
And then there's the timing of its release and the natural comparisons to the other games out now, like the super fast, slick and polished DOOM and gods-damned-you've-got-to-be-fucking-kidding-me-astonishing Uncharted 4. Those are shadows that even great games can't find their way out from under.
What a car wreck.

Too bad. I thought the coop beta showed some promise.

You know how people get together with friends, drink, and watch a super shitty movie to laugh at? This is like that, but a video game!
This is closer to a Batman vs. Superman level of bad though, where it's just awful.
I want the video game equivalent of Anaconda. Jon Voight greatest actor of all time.

Who was the genius that decided it would be a good idea to put this out anywhere near the release of Doom and UC4? From the reviews, it sounds like this could've used a delay until late summer or something for polish.
It's not an opinion. Those games are able to thrive because of the broad base of gaming more mainstream titles are able to create. This industry can't exist in the back of the hardcore alone.

Did you read the review? He says the pc version is literally unplayable.

Savage, but very true. To be honest even if the game was half decent it would get rapidly cheaper. Deep Silver are prolific discounters / bundlers

After watching the dansgaming stream "GREAT JOB BRADY" will forever be ingrained in my head
Damn, I was hoping this might at least be enjoyable as a B-tier shooter ala Timeshift. Seems like it's just plain bad.
But...Best Buy is still giving away that $10 gift card with purchases and I already have Overwatch and No Man's Sky paid off. I still may bite.

DOOM is a much better option IMO.
Have it, and yea it's excellent!
Well it is running at a constant 60 frames per hour.
The same genius looking for an excuse for its poor sales, and not wanting to sink any more money into something that was destined to flop.
made a quick gif...the game said fuck it and started a meltdown and he had to restart
That subtitle font.
If someone had told me this was CoD, I would have 100% believed them.
I know you manoeuvre the industry at some level so you have a better finger on the pulse then me. It just, i feel the writing is on the wall when it comes to these kind of games. There's no more room for more mediocrity. The stakes / budgets are too high, the market is saturated, and it's anything but the 'save bet' when it comes to another shooter game with checklist design. Even when targeting the mainstream, this sounds like the odds are staked immensly against a game like this...

not surprised at the negative reviews. This game reminds me of Duke Nukem Forever. Multiple developer turnovers will make any game fail.

Have always hoped for it to be salvageable. Some interest in seeing it through after all its development.

Judging by my experience with the Beta, I am surprised the scores are as high as they are. It was just awful.
