Okay so remind me why everyone hates Turok again...
AbsoluteZero \| 8:52 AM on 02.03.2008	15 comments

I picked up the game about two days ago with my Blockbuster Game Pass and I'm guessing I'm roughly at the end of the game by now. So far I had a pretty good time. I mean it's not earth shattering like the first time I played Earthworm Jim, or as satisfying as beating Battletoads. But for what it is, I thought it was a good time. Kind of like having a beer with your co-workers after a hard day sort of good time. Sure the controls were a little iffy, the level design was a little aggravating, and the characters were so filled with testosterone their semen would have the potency to get a desk lamp pregnant. But the game play was there. I dunno, I just don't see why everyone hates this game so much.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

because theres way better games out there and gamers have been spoiled....?

DeusPayne

I don't think there's ever really been too much said bad about it, just that it's one of those shooters. I think the one thing that kept people away from it back in the day was the fact that there were far too many platformer aspects before dual-analog was standard, so it resulted in a lot of frustrated gamers that refuse to give the new one a chance.

Eschatos

It's not bad, but it's not good either.

covah

Its not a terrible game, its just average in my book. Due to the over-saturation in the FPS market right now, I'm not going to settle for run of the mill average games.

Holyetheline

I wish the aiming wasn't broken. =(

BS3 Owner

I am enjoying it. I LOVE FPS... I don't care about brokeness either. ( Blacksite Area 51 )

This is NOT A BROKEN GAME... Just think a little what codemasters said. Turning Point's Demo has been fixed & are promising a GREAT time.
( if you're into alternate WWII games. )

I think Turok is alot like...

Unreal Tournament 3 ( Online ) , It's like Jericho ( Graphics ) , Gears of War esque ( Bullet Casings flying out the guns! ) , Beowulf ( Bosses ) , & Call of Duty 4 ( Realistic Damage )

All set in the Jungle & Techno Bases & Caves...

BTW you're right about the Testosterone levels!
My PS3 is now pregnant & eating Chicken Wings for the SuperBowl!

( Demo was a bust but final retail is gold! )

Sorry about Double Post.

Noah

I'm looking forward to playing it, I like knives and bows. I just watched Rambo IV :)

MrSadistic

Because Turok can also be used... as a hat.

Upgrayedd

I just hope the final version lets you adjust brightness, because my (piece of shit) TV does not and the demo was actually unplayable because of it.

BS3 Owner

@ upgrayedd

It doesn't have manual setting for Brightness Control.... You need a new TV, NO?

The game does that bright jungle thing because I believe they're trying to put in a ghost fog/humidity................

Without pulling CPU Cycles?!!????!

It's not that way ALL the time however.

DarkTravesty

i'm really liking the game so far. kicking some ass in multiplayer the battles i've had so far are intense but every coop game i play i usually die :(

AbsoluteZero

Glad to see I got a few supporters. I figure that it's pretty average. But average ain't bad. I just played again a while ago and I found myself starting to hate the knife attack system. Something seems wrong about killing a raptor with a 6 inch knife.
