Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Review | FPSGuru

FPSGuru writes:

'Usually when a game completely bombs, you don't expect to see a sequel. Sequels are based on sales and sales are usually based primarily on reviews. When a game averages a 4-5 on a ten point scale from most sites, it generally doesn't generate great sales. The first Sniper: Ghost Warrior title was unfortunately in that situation. There really wasn't a redeeming quality about it. The AI was horrible, physics were terrible, and there were large sections where you weren't even sniping. And if that wasn't bad enough, add in a difficulty level that was absurdly difficult and you had a game that was more unplayable than anything. So if you do decide follow up such a horrible game, you have a large mountain to climb ahead of you. Fortunately City Interactive realized that. It almost seems like one of the first steps in starting the design and production of the sequel was to sit down, read all the reviews of the first one and start by addressing all the complaints people had. I distinctly remember my time with the first game. I went in really excited... A game centered completely around sniping, which is how I approach a large percentage of face shooting? Count me in. But then my soul was crushed. But now there's a sequel that feels right, so let's take it for a spin.'

Rightfully so...

Except ARK is an early access, which either means it's either alpha or beta. Don't get me wrong! I'm looking forward to the game, it's on my wish list, but I will not pay money for something that is not fully complete.

Long gone are the days of "Free Beta."

Thats too bad, because the game is the pc equivalent to crack.

ChrisW3242d ago

No... WoW and EQ are.

GhostTurtle3242d ago

WoW and EQ where. *fixed*

ChrisW3242d ago

Oh my... The past tense of the "be" verb for third person plural is "were." Not "where."

-Embarrassing!!!-

ARK is only out a wet week with less than a year developement released as EA so YEH it's in alpha.

Has had more content on release than nearly any other early access title and more patches in a week than most titles in a month to even six months.

What in gods name are you complaining about????????

Awesome i like your statement above,you're a perfect candidate to stay away and be kept away from EA game development because with above statement,i wish more people would be like you , who go an buy EA games and start whining and ranting bcos they don't grasp its concept would just follow you.
