Velvet Assassin WARNING

[Desaari]

The voice acting probably only sounds bad because its a British accent and you're not used to it.

Clearly he isn't used to a British accent, what with being from Nottingham and all.

I rented it, played it for a bit and vowed never to touch it again. I hated it so very very much. On that note I don't remeber the VA, the AI seemed to do it's job and the controls seemed fine.

I just hate stealth games. Hell I almost didn't like Beyond Good and Evil because of the stealth parts. ALMOST!!!!! (something about it charmed me even though it is not my type of game at all).

I meant within a game. Very, very few games feature an actual proper British accent. I'm British myself, and I find it weird hearing Brit accents in a game. We're used to hearing American VA's with American accents. It's why so many people hated the VA in Fable - all those wacky regional UK dialects.

(and besides, a Nottingham accent is a far cry from the Queens English that Violette uses in Velvet Assassin...)

I bought it was compared to Stealth 2.

But what I got was a game that is basicly Splinter Cell in World War 2.

If you liked Splinter Cell you'll like this game because their exactly the same. If you thought that game was moldy ass, then this game will be the same.

I seriously doubt it can be worse than NRA gunclub.

Okay?

True this; usually because it's an American voice actor putting on a British accent. /shudder
A good example of this is the voice-over in Battlefield 2: Special Forces. It makes me want to hurl.

You get cigars for that? maybe I should jump on the bandwagon...

Indeed! Plus, act now and you will get a pound instead of a dollar! Take advantage of the current exchange rate!

Twilight sucks! (where's my reward...do I have to call someone?)

 

[ssgt splatter]

It didn't look good to me either.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean no-one else will. That's the sort of thing that gives rise to the haters who've never played or seen what they 'hate', like most Halo and Twilight haters. Give us a chance, don't presume to tell us what to do, OP. Okay?

Why is it that when someone gets their feelings hurt by a review, the first reaction is "Well, that's just like...your opinion, man." The guy wrote a review (if brief and somewhat uninformative), so he can say what he wants. If you yell at him and tell him what to say, you're as bad as you are accusing him of being. Also, I'm fairly certain that Pro Insanity can't keep you from buying this crappy game, so why are you so upset? If you want to waste your money...it's a free country.

Oh no! I've been found! Actually I don't much hate Halo so much as the fans that it produced. I liked the Twilight movie, being a fan of both Paul Newman and Gene Hackman.

Perhaps a better suited approach would be favored. List your points and support with personal experience from the game. I always found it to have a more reasonable appeal than "THIS GAME IS TEH SUX!"

My fellow escapists, I don't like this game so neither should any of you.

Fixed.

I played it on PC. It wasn't a new revelation but it was working perfectly and the atmosphere was freaking awsome. The AI is kind of dumb but the levels are mostly composed of small rooms so it isn't torn in your eye. Plus it is one of the few games depicting WW2, not like some gloryfied gun fight where every soldier is a hero, but like on of the darkest periods in reasant history.
