Title: Sniper Elite = $2 Post by: Azazel on March 16, 2010, 01:02:00 AM The money is, obviously, trivial. Is it worth the download?

You judge. Title: Re: Sniper Elite = $2 Post by: Samwise on March 16, 2010, 11:45:20 AM That video makes the game look much better than it is.
Title: Re: Sniper Elite = $2 Post by: Koyasha on March 17, 2010, 10:34:57 PM In a way that's pretty cool. Never seen a game in which sniper rifles were used at the kind of range actual snipers can shoot at. Course, I can't imagine such a game being all that much fun, either, so I completely understand the recommendation to avoid.
Title: Re: Sniper Elite = $2 Post by: Samwise on March 18, 2010, 12:21:03 AM When I played the game I don't think I ever got to actually snipe anything. The game consisted of carefully creeping around a poorly rendered city to get to a waypoint while tutorial popups warned me to watch out for enemy snipers that, as far as I could tell, did not exist. I spent about two hours carefully peeking around corners and scanning windows and generally proceeding at a snail's pace to my objective two blocks away. Once I got to the waypoint, a bunch of enemies spawned from nowhere at close range and I had to run and gun my way to the next waypoint. At this point I uninstalled the game.

It's a fantasy of the fucking mentally challenged L337 sniper sort. |
