In Red Faction: Guerrilla there is a very subtle and nice romance between Mason and the blonde female. It fit her theme as a bad-ass with real emotions and yet not pathetically emotional. The romance also goes well with the somewhat nice part where she convinces Mason to trust her even though she was a Marauder.
So in the SyFy movie about the game 20 or 30ish years in the future, you find out that she died off screen.
Nice.

The game was actually ok, but yeah. The story makes no sense and the cult leader is a much more interesting enemy than the bugs. And he is never really explained either.
In the first half the game is ok, but then the only interesting enemy gets decapatated and you just look at everything feeling sad about how little sense this makes. Then you use berserk and kill everything that you can see.

Actually, there was a *second* game, and by second I mean first. Red Faction guerrilla was not the first game, the first game was a PS2 game that was just called Red faction. There was sequel on the PS2, called Red Faction 2, then came Guerrilla on the Xbox 360, then came Armageddon. Armageddon was the 4th game in the series to my knowledge.unacomn said:
I meant second as in between Guerrilla and Armageddon, like the chart that Yatzhee showed. That missing bit of story was explained (sort of) in the Red Faction Origins TV movie a few weeks ago.I know there were previous Red Faction games, mind you, the first one didn't really work on a SiS 315 because of it's horrible drivers, so I never got to play it beyond the first tunnels.RelexCryo said:
In fairness, it really is. It gives you so much more control and is one of those small changes that creates a whole host of options.Fronzel said:
It's just, they needed it in Guerilla, not this game. That and some sort of stealth system. I would have loved to lace a building with explosives, fix it up so it looks right and then blow it all up again when someone walks past
So Red Faction allows fully destructible terrain, then the sequel just puts some destructible bits at the edges of its linear paths; then Red Faction: Guerilla allows fully destructible buildings and the sequel just puts some destructible bits in its linear paths.
Why make every other game lame? Just stick with the free-form destructible format: it's what made the franchise stand out in the first place.

I don't mind that there are ads before these videos (the content is free after all), but the fact that the ads I get are female fashion and hygiene ads make me think that the advertising algorithm their using is kind of shit...
first you have a game that lets you mop up terrain with a very limited resource of explosives, give or take if i missed a hammer along the way, possible to hide how far your human-hole can go for no reason better than filling me with rage i rightfuly shouldnt have felt upon bastards in some far away land that will probably one day trying to introduce me to remote tissue damage
then you have buildings glued togeather, but not actualy part of some cackly-if-wished minecrafting algorythm, and a fairly realistic happenings of going on i bought years after its make for 20$ simply because i knew it was going to be mindblowing. i may also note not quite sure if its disgruntled miners in favor of bowl noodles, hungrymans, vending goods and fried dough, or communists, but i assure you, it is the first.
then you have gimmicky bullshit rail shooter
edit: bad mood nvm

Wait a minute! If the terraforming machine got broken how was everyone still breathing?? 'Cause I saw the trailer for this game and I didn't see anyone running around in space suits.
there is still oxygen but the surface is plagued by violent storms so everyone just lives underground
I was quite surprised with how much i liked this game, it kind of reminded me of what everyone says the original Duke Nukem was like. The plot is a joke, the characters are all cheesy and uninteresting. Darius is a gigantic cynical abusive dick that complains about everything, and the game is sorely missing a soundtrack. On the other hand the combat is really fun, there is about 14 weapons to choose from quite strong and entertaining to use. There is even unlock able cheats to make game play more exciting after you finish a play through. The magic flashlight is really quite necessary i remember playing guerrilla and having to spend several minutes trying to climb a mountain because i accidentally blew up the stairs to my objective. I think the main problem with this game is that THQ tried to make it to serious there's even audio logs you can find if you really want to that try to expand and complicate the story but if anything it should be cut down. Its something you just pop in, mute, and decimate the landscape with a pony that fires lasers out its ass.
The generators have a "not" chip between them and the force field and the force field's input floats high.
