Stiler Journeyman Posts : 1458 Joined: 27 SEP 2004 Location: US, TN Status : Offline	This game just came out of nowhere, surprised no one has talked about it here. It's basically a huge FPS-rpg, similar to Deus Ex. It just came out on steam this past week and has been getting a lot of attention through word of mouth. It just popped out of nowhere and seems a lot of people love it. The main complaints are that it's really really hard to learn some things, due to weird control schemes/poor tutorials, and some bad localization. However if you can get by this and enjoy Deus Ex it seems right up that alley. It's only 18 bucks on steam (13 and change if you get in on a 4-pack deal). video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO3b0u6dovk&feature=player_embedded Some reviews: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/eye/1185987p1.html http://games.on.net/article/13354/ber_Review_E.Y.E_Divine_Cybermancy

[smiley=zombie.gif] I honestly thought this was just some old game that was added to the steam store, because it's sold at such a low price. That's why i didn't notice it at all, although i'm a huge fan of Deus Ex [smiley=doh.gif] thanks for the heads up!

This review highlights most issues i also have with this game http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2011/08/04/eye-divine-cybermancy-review/2" target="_blank"> http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2011/08/04/eye-divine-cybermancy-review/2 But doesn't mention it's biggest issue, you can't save! There's only one auto save. So why did the developers invest in non-linear level progression, when you can only explore the different options by completely restarting the entire game :-/ Also when you fail a hack, you're frequently killed instantly and end up at the beginning of the level, forcing you to play the entire level again

Honestly i don't really care what the reason is for not letting you save I just drop the game. We do have lives, tea kettles, and phone calls that regularly interupt our gaming! Imagine being prohibited from using a bookmark while your are reading!

Fnord Schattenjger Posts : 2751 Joined: 15 SEP 2008 Location: SE, Stockholm Status : Offline	I still think there are games in which limited saves is a good idea. Horror (with frequent save spots), platformers, 2d shooters and so on (I think Ikaruga would have been worse with a save feature actually). This really does not seem like the right type of game for that though. Current Let's Play: Crusader: No Remorse

Traveller Guild Master Posts : 4039 Joined: 3 JUL 2010 Location: US Status : Offline	I actually have not the faintest idea why anyone would want to discourage "save and try/save and try" in the first place. It is exactly the ability to do this that gives me the courage to explore in action and strategy games. Without the ability to do that, I'd be too scared to try out anything in the game, in case I die and have to start right over again. ..and having to start a game again for the 3rd time, is where that game and I say good beye to one another. : * * * Just call me Trav. * * * “Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy.

Stiler Journeyman Posts : 1458 Joined: 27 SEP 2004 Location: US, TN Status : Offline	Yeah that is a disappointment about the save system. I too like to explore every nook and cranny in games and with a manual save system it lets me easily do that without fear o fmessing up or missing out on something (IE, you come to a fork in the path, you choose one way and it leads you out the lv and you can't go back and see what you missed, that sucks). They have been adding quite a few patches recently, with enough eople asking for it maybe a manual save system is something we'll get down the road.

Yeah, I remember too, when the are mote paths in the game, I always try not to choose the right one, seeing as how there are always some supplies in alternative routes. That's why I liked the breadcrumb system in Dead Space.

You ressurect when you die, but when you quit the game you'll always lose some progress. Also the game saves immediately after you made a game changing choice, so there's no way to find out what the results would have been of the other options

nicolas Intergalactic Janitor Posts : 23 Joined: 13 JAN 2010 Status : Online	Well given they responded quite fast with the patch ,if they make another update ,ironing and polishing the game a bit and fixing the various remaining bugs it sounds like a gold deal to me.Depending of your choices there is a LOT of game and story to be found in this game.It is described by some even more open then dx hr and given how great dx hr ended to be that says a lot.(on a sad fact something nobody talks about is that the pc version of dxhr is a straight port without better textures and even worse....having compressed washed out 720p cinematics instead the ps3 uncompresses 720p ones....

Fnord Schattenjger Posts : 2751 Joined: 15 SEP 2008 Location: SE, Stockholm Status : Offline	Thread necro! If anyone is interested, they recently released a pretty major patch for the game, which among other things allows you to set the degree of enemy respawn. I've been playing the game with a bunch of friends, and it really is a lot better when played in co-op. Not only does it alleviate the problem that big enemy hoards can cause, but the way different powers & abilities interacts allows for a lot of interesting tactical choices. A strategy that we have been employing against more powerful foes is to let me (Psycher) summon a powerful clone of myself, which can take quite a beating, and thus works well as a tank, while one of my teammates plays sniper. Current Let's Play: Crusader: No Remorse
