Thanks I didn't even notice that hahaThe lighting shit the bed.
Whoever approved the whole "Nork" slang needs to be fired. It is completely cringeworthy and also pretty derogatory in some sense. Luckily, I don't think North Korea will be hearing anything about this.
You do know you're defending racism, right?God forbid the country being invaded uses derogatory terms to dehumanize the invaders
What the hell, how?
Weren't these all cancelled?
agreed - this is not a AAA game
They canceled all of these orders - and it made me sad lol
Hell, people in America have barely heard about it.Whoever approved the whole "Nork" slang needs to be fired. It is completely cringeworthy and also pretty derogatory in some sense. Luckily, I don't think North Korea will be hearing anything about this.
And yet, despite all these enormous flaws, theres so much to celebrate in Homefront: The Revolution. It really is a huge accomplishment, an attempt to step on Ubisofts toes, and in so many ways a successful one. Whereas Ubis games from The Division to the Far Cries have fairly ubiquitous-feeling cities/islands to explore, Homefronts Philadelphia is really impressively varied. The shift in approach from a red to a yellow zone is both very welcome, and far more interesting. Getting to walk about in the streets, being extremely careful, but not having to shoot everything that moves, is great. Carefully negotiating your way through back alleys and finding routes up rubble-strewn buildings to reach hidden stashes, then creep across board walks to reach a distant balcony, jumping (when possible) for a ledge, and reaching an enemy target without having had to set off alarms is completely splendid. As can be picking them off one by one with your sniper rifle.
My guess is that Homefront: The Revolution isnt going to score so well in the land of game scoring, because its quite so replete with issues. And that makes me sad, in a way, because theres quite so much here. The story, while meagre in depth, isnt bullshit for once, and the city itself is superbly designed. It feels like it could have been the step forward from Ubis stale format, had it only been given more money and time, better resources for AI, and a good few more passes for bugs, glitches and the like before release. (Ive gotten stuck in scenery far too often, and once fallen out of the edge of the world. Oh, and you know when your phone goes weird and wont stop telling you youve got a message youve read. The in-game phone has that bug. Argh.)
But at the same time, its one of the most interesting games in the genre, trying to be so much more than the usual icon hunt such open-worlds offer. Scripted sequences may be generally dire, but theyre there with a goal to offering yet more variety alongside the hugely different tones to different zones, the different tactics needed to approach different atmospheres, and weapons that can be a treat to use.
This is looking an awful lot like the Area 51 of this gen. A game that was terrible but dear god I somehow enjoyed it.
Wow. Wow.
You do know you're defending racism, right?
Again, I'm not sure it is racism.You do know you're defending racism, right?

For real.Deep Silver is in Deep Trouble after this bomba and the Dead Island 2 disaster.
RPS review is really good, there are a lot of info in it:
That's exactly what I'm expecting from the game
Did anyone else forget that this game was even coming out until right now?
Apparently a few orders still slipped through. So far I've only heard of me and one other hah.
I wouldn't necessarily label it "racist," but the loaded nastiness behind the term is kind of the whole damn point.You do know you're defending racism, right?
Damn, now there's a rare item! Should be worth something in the future at least!Apparently a few orders still slipped through. So far I've only heard of me and one other hah.
Dsp says it's the worse game he ever played and made a video about it.

I also have a strange curiosity lolI'll finally be picking this up tomorrow after work at Best Buy. Don't have anything else to play and for $38 including the $10 gift card, I figured why not give it a chance? Reading reviews, impressions, etc., I was thinking about just picking it up and returning the game but after watching the video below, aside from the freezing/pausing/lag, the game doesn't seem as bad as what it's been made out to be. Don't know what difficulty the user is playing on or his options setup but he's playing on PC and doesn't seem to have any trouble with the aiming and shooting except for running out of ammo. Hell, the user is playing with a crossbow and doing well. I don't recall him dying at all and completes a few missions and a repeating random side mission in the process. It's the first hour and thirteen minutes of the game and includes the intro so obviously, there's spoilers in the video below.

Must admit that im looking forward to trying this game as there's just so much that's perfect for me.
Turned it off when he said "The only thing I could tell you is that the developers were lazy as fucking shit." He just went over the troubled development of the game not 5 minutes before and then he throws that out there? I have no problem with saying the game's bad, it definitely sounds like it has a ton of issues, but let's stop with the "lazy" bullshit.Dsp says it's the worse game he ever played and made a video about it.

I don't think the game is horrendous or anything (on PC, anyway), but it sure is completely mediocre when it comes to just about everything.
It's at its best when you have a mission, and it's dark outside, and you're trying to make your way through patrols without setting off alarms or starting shit -- because the second you do it boils down to relatively uninteresting combat encounters that feel like you're playing through the lens of a budget shooter. Usually, though, missions don't go off without a hitch; you'll find yourself trapped by AI, falling through floors, stuck on random debris, etc.
At it's worst, the game is a complete bore. The video review posted might be hyperbolic, but it's not wrong about the levels in which you have to "get the hearts and minds" of the locals. You basically need to run around capturing typically unguarded outposts, turning radios on, and destroying property in entirely unsatisfying ways. The worst one of these missions occurs near the end in an area where you need to traverse the rooftops using the terrible grappling system in this game -- you'll fall through floors, off rooftops, occasionally missing stuff you should have been able to grab and hilariously grabbing stuff you should never be able to. It's broken, it's boring, and it happens literally right before the end of the game -- at a moment when they should have been spending the majority of their time trying to sell the whole uprising thing.
Which, by the way, they never really do. They try. The story is kind of, sort of, almost interesting. Almost. But they never sell it. You never really feel like the world around you is changing. All you ever really feel like is the devs pulled the magic trigger and now all of the sudden everybody cares about your cause. It's horribly unsatisfying.
There's a particularly bogus mission in the game where you need to escort an AI-driven vehicle whose driver must be drunk, high, paralyzed, and 4-years old. It's bad.
Also, I have a powerful PC, and while my framerate was acceptable *most* of the time (the levels near the end that have a lot of scripted explosions, etc., tank things badly), nothing can prepare you for the stutters that start occurring midway through the game. They get more and more frequent until ultimately you can't walk 30 feet in-game without everything stopping for a second. This happens during autosaves, but also whenever an on-screen display occurs, someone talks to you, a script fires off, whatever. It's all the time, though I eventually tuned it out and stopped caring about it.
There's not a single thing that this game does well, but I'll agree that it has a lot of things in it that taken to their logical conclusion could have been cool. It has crafting -- that *could* be cool, except there's no reason to craft anything. They have weapon upgrades, which could be cool, except you don't ever really need anything more than a basic rifle. There's gear upgrades you can buy, except none of the gear is essential. There are side-quests, except, you don't need to do *any* of them to get everything you want to buy and more in the game. There's enemy patrols to shoot at, except you never *really* need to shoot anything in this game. 90% of the time you can walk right by the braindead AI and nobody cares. There are well-voiced characters here with in theory interesting backstories, except the game doesn't go into much of that. There's a motorcycle you can ride, except, you really only ever need to use it to drive < 100 feet to get to your next objective, so I almost *never* used it.
If they had followed through with any of these ideas, you'd have some redeeming factor. But no, it's all just barely-there systems. Visually, the game looks okay -- kind of reminiscent of Fallout in spots -- but after Uncharted and Doom, I couldn't be bothered to care much about it on a visual front. Game is completely, utterly mediocre. It's *not* the worst game ever. But it doesn't do anything well.
The very definition of a 5/10 game -- and this is coming from someone who thought the original Homefront was a solid game.

Sadly that either indicates that that person barely plays games or has no clue what technically bad is. Hyperbole. Thats just overreaction at its highest mark.
And no the game isn't great shakes.
