I own it and think it would be a great game, but the online interface is kinda what killed it

rbluetank5693d ago

Epic doesn't believe in adding a story to any of it games.. This is what kills long term use of their games. I have always trade in their games soon as the online gets boring... Thanks for the Patch, but gamespot has the game now...

Yeah I had a blast with it..but I haven't picked it up since April.I'll give it another shot tonight.

they had a kickass looking protagonist(Markus and Dom fused togwther).

They had badass looking monsterlike enemies.

Vehicles were awesome

the visuals and cutscenes looked very good(as good if not better than Geow2). SO WHY DIDNT THEY ADD A REAL CAMPAIGN?

Kleptic5693d ago (Edited 5693d ago )

why...do...people...ask...this ?...

not trying to single you out...but seriously...is this your first UT game?...its an arena shooter...they simply do not have stories...they don't work that way...they don't play that way...its a twitch shooter designed from the ground up to be played against other human opponents...

just like Quake III...every UT game has been 95% multiplayer focused...with an almost funny practice mode referred to as a campaign...and believe it or not...UT3 has nearly 5x the campaign of any other arena shooter to date...

if its not what you expected single player wise, you most likely should of tried some of its predecessors...

and that also isn't where Epic failed on UT3...the game used to have a massive following...Epic just incorporated garbage community support into the title...no mod searching in game, which was something that had been asked for since the beginning of the decade...it had minor stat tracking...and had zero modern gimmicks like unlockables or leveling...no real clan support...no in game ladders or ranked matches...nothing to push the competition among players...it was just a join and play situation, same as 1999...and you had to search through dozens of poorly laid out websites and forums to get involved in any 'ranked' tournaments or clan events...

on paper it didn't sound too bad...take 90's gameplay and mix it with a decent engine and everyone is happy...i don't mind the old school gameplay...I just mind the old school community features (read: lack of) that disappeared for a reason...

no offense...but it is very clear that you were introduced to Epic by means of Gears of War...and not Unreal back in 1997...believe me, there is nothing wrong with UT3's single player for fans of the series...this franchise has NEVER been about single player experiences...flak cannon weakness aside, its arguably the best playing UT game to date...its just it didn't get the non gameplay stuff it truely needed to survive this time around...

rbluetank5693d ago

I have been playing UT games back in 2000 and 2005 with the pogo sticks in hand.. lol. i liked that one the best. i said that epic does not believe in story.. true or false. You admited and i admited that they do not have a story mode;so true. Epic does not believe in storys wethers that UT or Gears. We both agree. I only played UT series on consoles and not computers. everything i said and you said was true.. lol tc

Tech Focus - Motion Blur: Is It Good For Gaming Graphics?

Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?

TheOptimist2132d ago

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.

XentaJones2131d ago

motion blur makes me sick... so its off.

OpenGL2131d ago

I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

TheSplooge2131d ago

I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.

Mr_Wilson2131d ago

Those plus vignetting, chromatic aberration, and film grain.

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”

The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!

Rock to my left, hard place to my right..

EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).

c00lvilKid692962d ago

I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.

Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL

wakeNbake2962d ago

Well thats just a low budget turd, no comparison at all.

mezati992962d ago
