Terrible but also exciting at one place! I like the scenes, there seems to be no limit to the creative ideas!

YAY! This looks so cool! I like the tether thing, as if I wasn’t already instantly sold on this game, when I heard the part about tethering the drivers of two rival vehicles together, I nearly busted a load in my pants! I can’t wait for this!

Well, it’s playable, yes, but there are still some terrible behavioral problems with that game. Like anything involving vehicles. (Watch people drive into buildings). Also, the landscape just repeats the same cells over and over if you walk far enough. That said, it was a beautiful game, and occasionally had that Deus Ex quality of realistic interactivity about it. The developer supposedly had a sequel called White Gold in the works, but it may be dead.

I’m not off topic am I?

I downloaded the original demo again and played it. The handling of the vehicles is abysmal and the combat is repetitive, but if they sort out such problems in the sequel, it could be a lot of fun.

There was also much pleasure to be had in nicking an aircraft, flying as high as you could and jumping out, then seen where the moment took you. :)

Just Cause was only really fun if you embraced its design, that of just jumping off of stuff and freefalling away from a motorbike after driving off a cliff. Really the best part of the game for me was falling. I would seek out new mountains and cliffs to jump off and see my highest base jump number increase. But now looking at this new game, I think I am going to invest even more time into jumping off of stuff.

Yup, I was wrong, thanks for the correction; I’d come back to say ‘oops’. For some reason I have trouble keeping the two Latin American destabilisation action games apart in my head. I am probably a racist.

I have a feeling I will be tethering drivers to various things when this gets released, and probably laughing about it too.

As long as they keep letting you helidrop vehicles when you are far away from civilization, this will be great.

ACtually, post-patch Boiling Point is no longer buggy. It’s a rellt interesting ad huge game, and sucessfully did what a lot of more recent games have tried to do and failed. Sadly, fighting in it never felt right, and far to much time was spent driving between locations.

That said, that was a very, very serious game wheras this sounds anything but.

Hypocee: That was Boiling Point, a VERY different game. I far preferred Boiling Point over Just Cause (although it’s really apples and oranges) despite all its bugginess but Just Cause was still a fun console-style action game.

A Mercenaries II beater? I hope so…I’ve spent like 100 hours with Mercenaries II already :)
