This game deserved so much more credit, it did a great job of mixing up the battle scenes with awesome set pieces and great art. It had some of the best animations I have ever seen in a game
i fucking recommend this game to anyone who love TSP with tight controls and fluid animations.
this is like Vanquish in more tactical approach.
definitely one of the sleeper hits this year.
wish it had japanese voices like Vanquish did.

This game kicks ass. I had a great time with it and will never sell it. It looks great sitting next to my game of the year 2010; which was vanquish.
After reading these comments I know I need this game in my life; I LOVED Vanquish. Thank you guys for the input.
I'm afraid this game is getting overlooked. I played it and had a blast with it. After I tore the Japanese video game industry a new asshole for releasing garbage, I go and play this beauty. I may have spoken too soon, because Binary Domain was a fantastic shooter. They do everything so well.
When I ask people what's most important to them in a shooter, they usually say something shallow like "Set-piece moments" or "Graphics". To me, the most important things to have in a shooter are...
-Sound Effects. Listen to how a machine gun sounds in a game like Battlefield 3. Meaty, powerful, loud. Then compare it to how the chain gun in Halo 3 sounds like...It sounds like you're flinging peas at a pillow. Binary Domain nails the sound design.
-Bullet Impacts. I can't stand it in a shooter when you shoot a bad guy and they just stand there, not reacting to your bullets. Or, when they do react to your bullets, there isn't a good visual representation of where your bullets are hitting them. Binary Domain knocks this one out of the park. Every time you fire the enemies start breaking apart and shattering. Its incredibly satisfying.
Story and Characters- You've got to have a good story and characters. Look at Battlefield 3 again...Name one character from that game...Name one important plot point...Exactly. Again, Binary Domain gives us an interesting story and characters that are deeper than the "Space Marine AAAAAAHHHHH" garbage we're used to. Give the game a few hours and it really starts opening up.

Too much to play... but this interested me intensely when I played the Xbox demo. Definitely keeping this on my wish list. I appreciate them marking it down for PC though, it's only 40 bucks on launch!
Just a heads-up: GreenManGaming still has the pre-order for 20% off with the coupon code on that page. So $32. And it activates on Steam, so bonus there.
Not really a fan of 3th person shooters never been never will be, I don't even understand why people want to go 3th person like that as I don't see the benefits. Its less immerse, less useful, and a character on the side of your field of view is just a big annoying obstruction. 3th person just for cover I can get but generally 3th person shooters I just don't get it why you would want to do that.
I had an absolute blast with Binary Domain. The only thing thing that I didn't like is that they totally missed an opportunity for branching storylines towards the end of the game. If they gave the player the option to choose, it could have been even better. But that's just me nitpicking.
This should not have been a surprise as being good, the Yakuza games are all good. I can't shut up about how good those were, and what I played of Binary seemed very good as well.
Edit to my previous post: it may look like I condemn all third person shooters and that I would not enjoy this game, that is not the case but I generally don't see the point in a shooter moving to 3th person or almost any game really. this however doesn't mean I can still enjoy them.
I for one never really used the over the sholder mode in skyrim and fallout 3/new vegas at the most I used a mod to have a centered 3th person camera and I used it zoomed out quite a lot but that is something entirely different

Yeah I'm fed up with the constant barrage of thirth person shooters, I wish they'd make more oneth person shooters.
Shame Max Payne 3 will be in thirth person.

I like 3rd person if there is a reason for it. From a playability standpoint, 3rd person is better for stealth, cover, and platforming. I loved the way Human Revolution smoothly switched back and forth from 1st to 3rd person when it made sense.

Oh wow, I'll look into getting it after I get myself a summer job so I can pay for it =P I have the first Yakuza game and it really is brilliant, and seeing the love for it here it's only fair for me to try the demo at least.

As a PC gamer I feel that there aren't nearly enough shooters available where the protagonist takes up 1/3 of the screen's field of view.
Unobstructed views are totes overrated. Looking forward to this.

"Binary Domain" may end up being my GOTY, or a close second to "Lollipop Chainsaw", which is shaping up to be fucking awesome. It was an amazing experience, one of the rare TPS games where I felt genuine innovation with both gameplay and storytelling. My review on Amazon for the PS3 (should be the first one seen up there) should get across my strong feelings quite succinctly.
Needless to say, I'm probably going to purchase this for a second time on the PC. Excellent game, should be played by just about anybody.
