1UP on Stranglehold's multiplayer:
"It takes far too long to kill someone (two players can shoot each other in the head with shotguns point-blank for quite a while before anything happens), the shooting feels more disconnected than in the single-player game since the pace is so hectic, and there's just not a ton of variety or strategy behind the simple, straightforward gameplay. It looks great and we certainly had fun with it, but multiplayer seems to have been tacked-on. There's always a chance that the shipping game will be more finely tuned, though."
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
GF365: "These are the best games based on movies. Every entry on this list will be a great video game adaptation of popular movies."
Alien isolation...ftw,it is definitely one of my top games,I played it again a few months ago ✌️
Stranglehold, a thrilling action game co-created by the famous Chinese director John Woo, returns to digital distribution on PC today. After years of being lost and unavailable, the game comes back to life thanks to the efforts of GOG.COM and the title’s publisher.
True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.
Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.
I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
Just what we needed. Another tacked on at the last multiplayer mode. What's wrong with being singleplayer only? BioShock and Zelda OoC are noth single and are the best games of all time so far.
For a game powered by the Unreal Engine 3, it's pretty damn ugly. Sort of like Midway's other title... Hour of Victor, anyone? Hey, Midway. Where the hell is my Psi-Ops 2?
zelda stands all by itself
maybe after 6 bioshock game
comes outs until then
Not all games need or require multiplayer aspects. In most cases it's just the same old MP modes like Deathmatch or CTF, but with characters from the game, nothing new or unique.
So what, tacked on or not I'm glad this game has multiplayer. It's built for it.
If it does truly feel like it's tacked on(I don't trust reviewers too much), then at least we can hope for a patch. I'm just glad it's there and wasn't scrapped because it wasn't perfect.
