"the first of a three part trilogy"

hate unfinished games , the same was with Advent Rising the first one was great but it was a selling flop so they scraped the other two parts making this game without a end

Time to resurrect this thread : demo's out on XBL!
I'm not sure what to expect of the game, and since I'm no gold bitch, someone just gives his impressions... Mortibus...??? Razz

EDIT : Been reading some comments on a gamer site...it seems really, really, really, poorly bad... Who would have guessed it? Laughing

Well it´s no God of War clone. That´s for sure.

It has an rpg-element to it, leveling up and picking loot.

But yeah it´s more focused on action. the right stick controlls your melee weapon of choice. Bumpers+triggers do guns and specials.

Story feels soso. the whole concept with northic asalore mixed with sci fi is meh for me.

Gfx is ok, nothing to write home about.

Camera is a pain in the ass. Obviously they choose to map right analog stick with melee, but hey cmon, I want to use it for camera. Pressing up and down on pad gives different view distances.

So all in all pretty expected. Judging from my first run thru the demo is that it´s nothing special.

How's the loot system, set items, uniques? That's what usually makes or breaks these sort of games for me.

Well from what I could gather, the enemies drop loot in shape of icons(?), which contain health and weapons.

You have to equip them in menu. Guns, snipers, swords, spearaxes, etc.

Leveling up you choose where to put points and then it goes down in a tree from there. Like I can for example choose to put points on melee and when putting enough points it will go down the ladder, only existing to those that chose to level up melee.

Nothing overly deep, but probably the best part of the game. These things are always adicitive to me.

Played it a couple of times... feels weird not using the right stick for camera. Like others have mentioned, its a little choppy at times and the camera can suck but I found it pretty enjoyable. I think coop is what will make this game kickass though. Kinda like Crackdown.. it was OK in singleplayer, but in Coop it was batshit crazy!

yargh...wtf... is this supposed to be a game? My expectations were crap to begin with, and I guess in that regard I'm not dissapointed. It's too bad though, because the gameplay with a little work could be solid gold. Dodging/blocking (is there a block?) is near useless...you can't break animation cycles at all so once you start hacking away you might as well finish becausing breaking into a defensive posture is way too clunky. Honestly, all you do is run up to a group of enemies and twirl the right stick. I'll admit is was cool lobbing an enemy into the air and then shooting him to keep him up there, but that's a pretty stupid waste of time, because while you do that 100 other guys are surrounding you.

The "story", what little I saw, was disjointed and made no sense at all. Maybe Norse historians will get their jollies off with all the "Praise Odin!" but it held no context for me. Based on interviews and trailers they made the story sound really cool, but so far I don't see that. ENOUGH WITH THE FLASHBACKS. Damn you aren't LOST, quit trying to emulate it thinking it's a clever way to tell a story. PROTIP: It isn't!

Animation is laughably bad, along with the VO. The whole Baldur/Freya thing was so forced I couldn't stop laughing at how immature it was. The developers should have spent some time in Storytelling 101 instead of...well whatever else they were doing.

The only thing that I enjoy about this demo, is how it satifies my hunger for loot whoring. God damn some of those items are delicious! Story and bad animation be damned, even as a generic hack n slash I'd play it in co-op just for the phat lewtz! I nabbed one helm (some ventilator thing?) that looked soooo sweeeet...along with the rest of the gear I found my champion was looking hella badass.

...addendum: shame the skill "tree" sucks. By level 7 I had moved half way down one line, not that the "bonus"'s were worthwhile.

Meh....rental. I'll see how I feel about buying it after that. If the co-op plays out anything like Champions of Norrath, I can see myself dumping alot of time into this, despite how flawed it is. I can always buy some earplugs


i can has computar?!

Or you could just get the game "legally" and put on a dual-layer. Better than paying the 60 bucks. Rolling Eyes

I was never really excited about this game. Maybe the demo can change my mind.

Just played the demo right now. I don't see whats so special about this game. The camera control is absolutely terrible. Boring gameplay, boring dialogue, boring graphics. The menus are nice though! But thats about it.
