anyone here play Gotham City Imposters?

Reviews aren't super great, but it's pretty cheap. What I'm wondering about and can't find info on is how many people are playing? Doesn't see like many, but it did just come out recently. This should go on a $9.99 Steam sale + free weekend to attract players. It looks fairly decent from the few videos of it I watched. Looks like you can't start your own server, which really really blows.

The things I read imply it feels more like a F2P game despite costing money... so I avoided it.

However a free weekend would help get a 1st person account of the game.

I played it during the beta and I didn't really like it. Matchmaking wasn't great. It kind of feels like a COD game with wacky weapons and perks. It's cheap though and if you like twitchy games it's probaby worth the $10. Keep in mind it uses GFWL, which a lot of people despise. Graphics were OK. I think FOV is locked. I don't know if they updated that though. Unlock system is similar to COD. I think you can pay to unlock skins early or you can get special in-game skins. Personally I'd rather play COD.

I might be biased against the game also because I played at like 4am and it was hard to find people to match against so that might be why the matchmaking sucked. But I would think it's like the matchmaking in MW3, which can be hit or miss at times. Also my team was terrible so we were getting steamrolled.

We were playing this mode where you had to take control of certain points and if you held them all or held a certain # for enough time the Joker would unleash a gas that would make you run around with no way to defend yourself. Sort of like the end of a TF2 round.

That said, they have a pretty large Facebook group. It seems to get a lot of comments and likes so going by that I'd say there's a decent community for it.

It's actually kinda fun, but I would avoid it until they release the patch.

It's actually $15, and since it has no bot or create your own server options that seems like too much money for a game that looks like it might never catch on. I like the wackiness of it personally. I'm tired of shooters that take themselves too serious, TF2's great in this regard.

Kids bought this one on their pc, runs so horribly on their system that I couldn't really judge it gamewise. But I will say having to sign in through GFWL is ridiculous.

Seems a patch is done and will be out any time now. I haven't bought it, but on the patch notes it mentions something about a dedicated server. If it will let me make my own server I might have to buy it.

Rambusted - what specs. I'm sort of confused on the offical forums there are some people saying it runs like crap on their system that can play BF3 on high. And a few responded that this game is super CPU intensive. I can't find any info but if it does need more CPU than GPU I'm going to have to avoid it.

I think they released a free dlc for the game.

It's from Monolith Productions, and I don't know if it uses the LithTech engine, but they usually make some pretty good stuff.

Kinda strange since the beta required Steam and GFWL but this is on sale at Origin for $8. I'm assuming it still requires GFWL.

Hmmm... I may give this a try at $8. Thanks
