There's no blood?! This is coming from the guys that made the first two games and there's no blood? Grhhh adapted for the younger group or something, that's annoying considering what you'd do in #2. Satchel grenade on friends face? Sure thing, antipersonel gun detonating everyone everything on the screen check. I'm somewhat upset at that, I mean it's not needed to have fun but it sorta feels like they cheeped out for no reason.Artemis923 said:Bought the new Red Faction, with mixed feelings. I couldn't afford both it and Prototype. T-T
I enjoy the gameplay, but even early in I can see how repetitive this game is going to be. The story is half-assed, the characters are cardboard to the max, and the lack of blood reminds you that you're just playing a game.
Also, the insignificant penalty you suffer when you die makes death seem trivial. "Oh teh noes, I lost 3 morale!" It doesn't matter, since you just blew the governor's office to hell before you died.
Fun game, but everything else is bland, like just about every other game on the market these days. At least Red Faction provides entertainment, which is a claim that those other games can't make.
I'll give it 8 Jon Snows out of 10.
I pepper enemies and friends alike with gunfire, I stick miniature saw blades in them, I blow them away with explosives...not a drop to be had.Snotnarok said:There's no blood?!

There's also a moment in the beginning where ho-hum Mason could've become totally awesome by delivering a hammer-blow of bloody justice via cutscene...only to have the screen go black at the moment of impact.
I'm not saying I NEED blood to enjoy a game...but the lack of it sure does break what little immersion RFG has. It's easy to remember that you're not in a bloody struggle for Mars' freedom without...well...blood.
