Well my original snap judgement about Binary Domain turned out to be retarded as the game was really enjoyable, I would go as far as to say it was downright great -- so I'm going to trust FM and check this out.


The story alone is what stands out to be so great. The subtle choices, which are not in your absolute face and the sheer terror of what conflict and war can do to a man is what sets this apart from the rest of the shooters. However, the mechanics are really...I don't know, basic. However, as I said earlier, it redeems itself with the story.

I love how we pirates bitch about a game when we didn't pay for it.

Nothing wrong with that mind you but it just makes me chuckle at the irony.

You guys do make my day every once in awhile.....thanks.

If the story is as good as many people are saying here I might give it a go afterall. The gameplay does look boring but a good enough story can sort of make up for that sometimes imo.

At chapter 8 or so now, that scene there was really nice, kinda like bacon sort-of.

(Good portrayal of the war-zone and chaos going on in the setting they've created for this game, sometimes the choices you do will have unintended consequences, nicely captured here and in some other areas of the game, wonder how it'll continue from here.)

I still am and will always be Laughing. The cover system has ruined the whole genre, except for some extremely rare cases such as Mr. Payne where it was well integrated and "optional" .

Haven't tried this one (the iso demo) yet Razz , but the 'official' short demo left me completely unimpressed so boring it was. I might check it out just for the story, which should be decent after all, still unsure though.

As for Binary Domain, well it was quite a generic cover shooter too gameplay-wise, but the story/characters/huge bosses definitely made up for it Smile

The gameplay has been seen many times and done to death but like Binary Domain, it is the story which saves the game. I haven't
played such a depressing game in a long long time and everything only grows from bad to worse. Hell even the loading screens mock you near the end of the game.
Playing the game is totally worth it for the haunting final chapter.

What a shame this game is. I didn't want to believe it, but it seems the "naaarrrraaaatiiiveeeee" is indeed that good. But it is wrapped up in such generic shooter crap that it really is a test on your patience and your ability to deepthroat+swallow for some dubiously nice story that pops from time to time but is for the most part hidden under cover (part of the cover shooting mechanics? Pffchh ).

What a shame.

The campaign was so short and had story moments filled throughout that it never felt the way that you described it (which is quite disturbing I might add Laughing )

Finished it, tried some different things and saw a number of different outcomes (All of them I think.) and overall it's a standard third person cover shooter but the story and the way it was told and presented was really nice. Smile

Maybe six to eight hours of playtime in total, wandered around a bit and found most of the extra intel items and such, not that long but pretty much standard length for current action / shooter games.

@yuri Laughing I am really angry with this game. These are the most frustrating games - they have a good core, but are surrounded by layers of ugly.

I don't know what kind of games you guys actually play if this is 'crap' or 'ugly'. The graphics are okay, not amazing but good enough. Gameplay is very basic 3rd person shooting with no additional gimmicks but it's not bad like some might say. Just not unique in anyway.

The story is certainly where this game shines, there are many situations in the game where things can get pretty fucked up and there's actually a few moments where you can choose what to do and the game changes a little bit according to that. Multiple endings is always nice too.

Multiplayer feels a bit tacked on, it's developed by another studio and has the same problems with the singleplayer. It's very basic, simple and uninspiring, following the Call of Duty-design with the perks and the weapon unlocks and whatnot.

It's not really bad but it's a lot of unused potential. I will probably play some of the multiplayer with my friends these next few days and then just move on to other games but I would say the game was worth the 28€ I paid for it. Not a bad game but a solid, fun shooter that could have been great instead of just 'good'.

I hate you, guys. You've made me check this closer and now i can't leave it alone. Story and atmosphere are great...

As for the generic shooter, i can live with it, because of the aforementioned elements (though if they've put some better gameplay, this would actually be a good game).

The complete Intel list, found after some digging.
