    not sure i like the idea of not having any reties and having to redue the last half hour of game play

    @Lord Norr

    If, say, you held your gun at me, and that I was a desperate scavenger, just trying to survive. If you lowered your gun, and still posed yourself as a threat, I'd sure as hell try my chances on you. What left do I have to lose anyways? Absolutely nothing; the world is gone and we're reduced to survival instincts. Is this bad AI? No, it's designed like this on purpose. It still surprise me that this needs to be explained.

    With games like Gears of war 3 or Mass effect 3, reviewers from all over the globe start masturbating over how amazing it is, giving it 9.5 or 98% when I thought they were crap. But games like this seem to divide the community. As mentioned, IGN gave this a terrible score and I have to say, the faults mentioned in the video are all valid. Stupid enemies to see you have a gun drawn and fall back, but soon as you holster it, they charge at you. That on its own would ruin the game for me.
    I like how its split the reviewers though, rather than a blanket OMFGWOW.

    This game looks interesting and new, but I get so bored by the lack of a color palette. Each minute I look at it I want to play it less. There are ways to get a dystopian feel without having everything be gray.

    @bahldark
    Different people have different opinions. I don't think Tom would argue that this game IS an 8 and that his score is fact. He acknowledges the obvious flaws this game has but he enjoyed the game in spite of them.

    See 4:48 . The developers even said they were trying to create a game that players would remember.

    Also the metacritic critic score is a 7.3 and the user score is 8.6, so obviously a lot of people are enjoying it despite the technical issues.

    I really dislike the visuals in this game. This game should win the award for "worst use of light shafts/volumetric light" I immediately knew that this game was using Unreal Engine 3, they didn't even try to craft a unique look. They use basic post processing systems, low resolution lightmaps, height fog instead of using fog volumes+particle systems, etc. I don't blame the developers, it just seems like Ubisoft rushed the game out the door before it was finished. A lot of the animations are jerky and the environments seem unfinished.

    @zowbaid
    Really small dev team. Ubisoft fired the original designers and hired a small team of new developers to make this.

    Just finished it yesterday and I can recommend this game. 9/10 from me.

    @DennisWZH I took me around 7 hours to finish it on normal mode. If U focus more on scavenging and saving all citizens U can extend that time up to 9/10 hours.

    Enjoyable review, Tom. Keep up the good work. The game looks like a winner if still "art in the service of brutality" in my eyes.
