Really, if Jack Thompson should be complaining about any game, it should be Real Life.

Yeah...
And my version of Life came broken, now I have to wear $300 +7 Goggles all the time. (Aka glasses)
And Purple Rain is half right. It's not specifically an FPS, just an First Person... something.

yeah real life is a great game....waaaay to much grind though

and some things that were promised did not appear in the game. Honestly have you SEEN the screenshots with the giant lizard things? That would have been an awesome feature!

I sure hope the rumours of the sequel:Afterlife are true.

Hmm, personally, I think it's a tad overrated. Sure, the video card is great, but the user-created level designs are usually pretty terrible... there's only a little pre-made content left, and more of that is getting overwritten every day. Plus, while there's a few intelligent players, most of the player base are jerkwads. Speaking of which, cheaters and griefers are MUCH more prevalent than the Gamespot review let on (hmm, Gamespot glossing over a game's less-fine points, no that doesn't sound familiar at all... ^_^;).

Plus, the grind in this game is what biases me against the grind in most other MMOs... I think "this grind feels a little too close to Real Life to me" and it puts me off... very traumatic. Earning money is really tedious as well. However, cheating isn't that difficult, and in the player-nation I'm in (some weird place called "the USA"), cheating is actually rewarded pretty heavily in this economic substructure. So that's negative points, even though it's easier than in most games.

Plus, I always hate games that bill themselves as free, but tack on a lot of hidden charges.

Still, some of the minigames are fun. But overall, I don't know if it's worth it. Seems like a lot of advertising over a mundane experience, to me.

Is it that you mean that this has been done /b/fore?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but suffice it to say that it's considered one of the "Assholes of the Internet".

Oh, and incidentally, many game designers who prefer to make "realistic-looking" games (and the self-styled "hardcore" gamers who play said games) have criticized the graphics in this game for being too cartoonish.
Apparently there are all sorts of colors around besides brown and gray, and that's just not realistic, plus there are some surface textures on some objects that are NOT incredibly shiny and bloom-filled. They need to work on that, get rid of all these fancy colors and make the surfaces more reflective, then it'll look real.
