Rogue Warrior

[pontifex]

I think this is even more of a disappointment than Soldier of Fortune: Payback.

I loved Richard Marcinko's books but this game is bad.

You didn't buy it did you?

 

[pontifex]

You didn't buy it did you?

yes I did, for $26 after coupon, but I did buy a copy for my friend too and that cost me $36.99 I think.

This should be bargain bin...

So you harp on actual good games and yet you buy really bad games... twice?

I have read his stuff too and it is really great. The game doesn't look all that good though. What is disappointing about it?

Ouch man. I just read the review on IGN earlier today. They gave it a 1.5.. lol

 

[Mike Gayner]

Why would anyone buy this? Even a cursory look at reviews should be enough to make you run away.

Seriously, I think pontifex is the biggest negative Nancy I've ever seen WRT games, yet here he is buying two copies of one of the worst games released this year.

wtf? i'm here saying its bad but yet i'm getting flack for it.
i didn't buy 2 copies for myself. I bought a copy for my friend for his birthday because he's a fan of Richard Marcinko also.

i love the Rogue Warrior books so I thought I'd give this a chance.

Yes, flack. You rip on how you think Crysis and other games are horrible and yet you promptly run out and pick up Rogue Warrior completely oblivious to the actual content. Without a doubt, flacking deserved.

I call it how i see it. Crysis was horrible, except for the graphics. I'm not the only one who thought that as well. There's plenty of other people on this forum who said the same.

 

[AdamK47]

You say that as if you were stating it as fact rather than opinion.

did i say it was a fact? no. in fact, i think you missed the fact that i said "i wasn't the only one that THOUGHT that as well."

 

[AdamK47]

So then do you acknowledge the fact that Crysis is generally considered great by the majority of the gaming community?

I don't give a fuck about the majority of the gaming community. I only care what I think about the games I play. If I don't like it, I don't like it. I don't give a shit if a bunch nerds on the internet think a game is great. If I don't like it no amount of "but everyone else likes it" is going to make me like it.

 

[AdamK47]

You said "Crysis was horrible, except for the graphics" and then bound that statement to "I'm not the only one who thought that as well. There's plenty of other people on this forum who said the same." Why did you state that there are other people on this forum who said the same if all you care about is your opinion alone? You wouldn't have felt the need to say something like that if you were content enought to simply state your personal opinion.

because you singled me out when there are tons of other people that didn't like it either. I'm using that to support my position.

why the fuck do you care so much what I think anyway? your opinion is obviously right anyway.

 

[marmasatt]

WTH is the matter with you guys? Can't we just agree on some things here? Pontifex can be a negative Nancy, but obviously he came here to provide some feedback so hopefully it saves some people a few bucks. Crysis was an ok game, if not decent. Graphics only, do not a good game make.

Do an advanced search for the user Pontifex with the word Crysis in the PC Gaming sub forum. I remember reading many of those. Seeing this thread and remembering all the comments you've posted before made it very hard for me not to reply.

I can't read your mind to know what was going through it when you purchased Rogue Warrior, but I have to believe you felt it would be a good game. This is without knowing much, if anything, about how the game is being received. The purchase you made was not based on knowing any merrits the game may have, but rather the source material of which you seem to be familiar with. Don't worry though. You aren't alone there. Movie tie-in games seem to sell well despite their quality.

You aren't giving much credability to your adament claims of just how horrible Crysis is when you go out and purchase a game like this without knowing much about it.

So much help your advanced searching does since you can't even read this thread...the reason I bought Rogue warrior is because I am a huge fan of Richard Marcinko and his Rogue Warrior books. I saw a few reviews and comments from people who pirated the game before it was released so I didn't take much stock in those reviews.

unlike most people on this forum i don't "review" games before playing them, like 98% of this forum does, most recently with Modern Warfare 2. I don't see how my credibility is ruined by telling you guys about a game I played.
