Shadow Warrior
polycounter lvl 11
So anyone playing this? Been waiting for this since it was announced, and oh boy does it live up to it's expectations!
I knew it would be good since it's made by the same guys that did Hard Reset which was a great game if a little hard. :P
First the combat just takes you back to the old-school style of shooters, more twitch gunplay and dodging than hiding behind a crate waiting for health regen.
The star of the show is the Katana though. If you've played Dark Messiah, then the combat is a a star above that, combined with the Spirit powers, just some of the best fun I've had playing a game.
Game looks amazing too, so much colour compared some some of today's grey/brown shooters. It also runs flawlessly, has a crap-ton of stuff going on on-screen, so much mayhem it's great!
Probably one of the best true PC shooters in ages, and I would say it's my GOTY.
Well worth picking up if you like old-school style shooters and the combat mechanics of Dark Messiah. I'm glad games like this can still be made with a industry dominated in console style shooters.

So far I played just 1 hour but hot damn, this game is amazing! Weapon-wise.....hey, just give me that katana, i don't even need other weapons, it's way too fun to use it. Seriously. :P
Visually, while here and there it tech-wise it doesn't look maybe like crysis 4 (like, trees seems to still be ...not quite on par with crysis trees or such, but other then that, visually it looks amazing really. Love the colors (a nice change in FPS genre), the theme is great, level design i would say is great too, at least so far...
Also, while i love Serious Sam 3 aswell, i like that this game, while being old school shooter, still has quite some complexity, various combos you can use, weapon upgrades, etc....
So, all in all, it's amazing game so far, i'm having even more fun with it then Bioshock infinite (and i liked it a lot).....
OOOOMMMMMMGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did this evade me!? Best game ever back in the day. Please tell me they still have nukes!?

I have some -10% coupons for it on Steam if anyone want's one, just send me a PM with your your Steam username, and I'll' send you one right over.
The ending I thought was a little dragged on, but everything else has been great.
I'm hoping this sell's well since they want to do a Blood remake and it all kinda relies on sales from this.
Onto EX mode now for another playthrough.
Still haven't finished it though; I think I gave up at the last boss cause he kept pushing me off the edge or something. Didn't have the patience I suppose.
I almost spat all over my screen, lmfao.
