So... them Survival Instincts.

Well, it looks like this game won't quite be living up to the legacy left by Telltale's adaptation of the franchise [sub](who'da thunk it?)[/sub]
The very few reviews that have been released are also giving poor impressions, along with this being a seemingly very rushed licensed game sort of indicate that maybe this won't get the best reception. Should be interesting to see the feeback on this after the whole licensed games debacle with Colonial Marines.

Any poor saps happen to buy this game and play it yet? Just how bad is it? Or does it live up to the [sub][sub](shitty)[/sub][/sub] characters of "MERRLE AND DERRLE"?

Holy crap, that is pretty bad and looks like a second rate Dead Island.

Wow that's just terrible my brother bought this today and had a earlier preorder i told him to look at demos trailers exc but noooooo he never does and now he just burned 60 or 50 bucks for this garbage where he could of bought the new gears or waited for bioshock or gotten a plethora of other good games exactly why i don't preorder blindly if barely ever anymore.

Oh jeez, look at all of those feels, there were so many, even while just watching that video. Such as selfish smug-validation, brief merriment, slight apathy, disapproval.
And hunger, although that was not related to the video.

I don't even know how I handled that roller coaster of emotions.

I saw a gameplay walkthrough of it over at Gameinformer. From what I saw, the game's not that bad. I'll probably buy it at some point.

They messed up zombie AI, THEY MESSED UP ZOMBIE AI!

The sad thing is you can see some decent ideas in it - but the game once again is victim to rushed tv/movie release and ends up poor.

-Free roaming / a kind of random level generated depending on where you stop your van.

- collecting survivors and dishing out missions to them (what supplies to look for) Similar idea to state of decay.

- Based around finding fuel to keep the van going and food and stuff.

- The zombie horde number is actually pretty decent.

- a lack of ammo for guns.

If this game had actually been taken time with and polished.. a lot! It could have been a really decent zombie game. A step towards the perfect zombie game, but alas :/


I doubt anything is gonna be said about this game regarding colonial marines. There was little to no hype here - everyone knew this was going to be crap and was revealed six months prior to launch instead of six years.

Activision can pump out an at least polished call of duty a year - and then they do this.

Wait this is the release version?
Oh my dear god... suddenly Colonial Marines isn't looking half as bad, no seriously this is utter shit, and we did call it months ago.

While I have no doubt that the game is shit, some of those things just look like ordinary game shenanigans.

For example, that bit toward the end where he's jumping back and forth across the barrier is exactly the same as what I used to do in Skyrim.

 

[StupidNincompoop]

Zhukov's right, some of those clips are showing off things which can be done in basically every game. No biggie.

Although this game isn't exactly good, the graphics look OK and the guns actually look like they feel decent and powerful enough.

Oh man, that looked 'Shellshock 2: Blood Trails' bad.

Were the devs only given three months on this thing?
