edlib Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Well, I played through The Force Unleashed. It was...not great. Graphics, art, and sound were all good. The story, cutscenes, and voice acting were great. But the game was just...not that fun to play. You have ten levels to go through hacking up enemies. It's pretty easy. There are different combos, costumes, and lightsabers, but none of that really does anything, so...yeah. Your Force Powers are fun for about five minutes, then you get bored of shocking people with lightning and tossing stormtroopers around. The saber combat is totally lame. The movement feels stiff and unresponsive. Honestly, I thought the Force powers and lightsaber combat were all much better done in Jedi Outcast, and that game is what, 7 years old now? I'd say just YouTube the cutscenes and don't bother with the actual game. I have yet to try it on the higher difficulty levels, though, so perhaps that forces some strategy and makes for a more fun experience. That was exactly my basic feeling based on playing the demo. I'm sure I'll get it at some point, though... when it gets cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zargon Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 That was exactly my basic feeling based on playing the demo. I'm sure I'll get it at some point, though... when it gets cheaper. its 39.99 @ Target this week, so 20 bucks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Kinnison Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Had a real good game of curling today... Our team snapped it's two game losing streak. THo it took us to the fifth end to get back into it... and score. That is right, we allowed the opposing team to score once, and steal three times. But we tied it up in the 5th, and scored two more in the 7th to eventually win the game. I made a couple of great shots. a "split raise" in the 5th which helped get our 4 points, and a difficult double take out to almost put the game away in the 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well: Off to bed. Long day at work tomorrow. Facing a day of crappy weather, too.

If I don't get another chance to post to this one: Thanks for an interesting 2008... and here's looking forward to a kick-ass '09! Now the question is: Who's doing the honors for the new thread?

Wildstar Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I booted this morning, and now, not only does my computer see the Firewire bus, but the card's net adapter works, where it wasn't before even if the Firewire bus was detected. I hereby throw open the 2009 one-year thread for someone to start, as I'm at a loss for a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
