It's a pretty neat game and it's on sale on Amazon for $25. It looks like a normal brown shaded military shooter but the story itself deviates from the cliche "Oh no Russians are attacking :(".

everyone talks about how dark and edgy it is but i'm afraid that i'll play it and it ends up just being a tryhard "look there's corpses oh man its so dark!!" story rather than anything actually engaging or different not to mention the gameplay just looks so bad

I thought the story was pretty engaging but it doesn't come off as too much of a tryhard.

Definitely worth $25.

And that's what makes the story so interesting, you have no idea what's going on until the end, you just keep doing what you think is right and just find yourself [sp]killing civilians and soldiers who were just trying to keep order[/sp]

It has been a long time since I felt real emotion after finishing a game. And the shooting is great, weapons have a power feel to them.
The game is awful. Enemies literally RUN into gun fire, one after the other. It's like GoW and CoD smashed together.

[QUOTE=OutLawed Blade;36615866]Alright. I see your point. Also, rated dumb for my experience with the game? Yeah, okay.[/QUOTE] You're getting rated dumb because you're not seeing the forest for the trees. The game isn't about being innovative for gameplay, it's pretty average in the gameplay department. I think Yager knew that they shouldn't focus on gameplay and just funneled everything into the story. If you think this game is shitty because the gameplay sucks you've missed the point.

[QUOTE=OutLawed Blade;36615866]Alright. I see your point. Also, rated dumb for my experience with the game? Yeah, okay.[/QUOTE] Because that's not what they do? when I played they threw a lot of grenades when they couldn't get me to come out of cover and tried to flank me plenty of times and in general played pretty smart. Did you play on easy or something?

I'm glad you enjoed it, but again, I'm just throwing my two cents about it.

[QUOTE=Geikkamir;36616424]Simply because the game wasn't what you wanted (nor was it trying to be, for that matter) doesn't mean it's a bad game.[/QUOTE] Yes it does. It was bad for me. Now other peoples experience with the game may differ, but in the end I decide what I THINK is bad and what isn't. That is how opinions work.
