I can't wait for this game. Too bad it didn't come out during the summer and not the same day as Devil Survivor 2.
I'm hoping this game is game is good. It's covering some interesting ground, and it seems to be a lot smarter than the average shooter, but I didn't really like what I played of the demo
I think despite them pushing the "consequence system and voice control" the action, shooting and destructible robots are what people will connect the most.
I think the consequence system in a game like this really doesn't work. For example, no matter how jerky your are to your teammates I'm betting they won't leave. And the voice controls will probably end up binary options instead of being able to give more complex orders or queue a series of commands. But hey I enjoyed Mass Effect 3 Kinect controls so if they can pull off something that works similar to that I'll be ok.
All that said, shooting these robots is damned fun. Seeing bit fly off of them is a good time. The cover mechanic works well and fighting the larger robots look like a good time. Still looking forward to it. Hopefully d-toid will have their review up soon. As excited as I am for it I'm still not sure if its a $60. And Syndicate, while playable left me a little cautious about blind buying.

I played the demo last week and was most unimpressed which surprised me after reading all this hype on here. I usually love 3rd person shooters but this just seems to be a bad mash up of gears of war and vanquish, it did nothing to the same level of quality they those titles achieved.
Worth £20-30 because its not bad, its just not as brilliant as the games I've played before.
Also. Nice stereotyping from the voice talent in the game.

I couldn't agree more with this. I did however find it to be very satisfying, just nothing special. I adore how the robots shatter and feel much more real(perhaps) then most bullet sponges that riddle games today. I enjoyed every fight, and couldn't wait to shoot my next enemy, but again, it's still not set apart from most other shooters and they are releasing it in a time where shooters have flooded the market, so you really need to do something special with yours, not just give us awesome enemies. Really, the only third person shooter game I am interested in is Max Payne 3, and I'm even thinking about waiting for that to drop in price... we desperately need a break from shooters, but I have some high hopes for that this year. It seems like this will be a year of variety with a bunch of unique titles on the horizon, let's just hope the western market is willing to give unique games a chance.

Playing through it now and I'm really enjoying it, I can't remember a third person shooter where I have cared about the characters as much as BD, it really has the Yakuza feel in places.
Shooting is fine for a third person shooter, but that's not the draw of the game, the squad stuff is really good. Can see myself doing multiple playthroughs as the game is really different based on your squad.
Just wish the voice recognition worked properly, I blame my thick British accent for breaking it.

I really didn't care much for this. Then, I played the demo and I found it wonderfully suprising in the way it uses a trust system. I love the way it sort of knew that you were trying exploit it, and how the characters reacted to your tactics.
I know it's a B-Grade production, but it certainly feels like a game that wants to bunch above its weight. I don't think I'll pay full price, but I can see myself playing it sometime in the near future.

The demo was a disappointment. The combat felt clunky and derivative, the characters obnoxious, the writing was wooden and the levels were desperately linear.
When I encountered the french robot, I gave up.

I like these western-style games made by Japanese brains. It's like seeing yourself through someone else's eyes.
this game reminds me of I am robot lol Looks good I haven't play many third person shooters recently except uncharted so i might be getting this. I will play the demo.
I'm looking forward to this game, but these dev blogs have been, let's just say less than compelling. Something lost in translation perhaps?
