^^^ The laser gun is what I meant I guess. I hadn't got the chain gun yet when I wrote the last post but have now beat the game. I wish we could use the laser and sniper rifle more than brief moments in the game.

Yeah, I think the Sniper was added last minute to appease some of the long-time SS fans. It's only in one secret location.

I think the laser gun can be found in a couple levels as part of a secret location.

Judging by the price already being down so low, my original opinion about this game.... erm, I mean my opinion on the "pre-alpha" build was probably the correct opinion. This game looks like crap.

6.0 on gamespot, pretty weak. I'll try it when it hits the $2.50 mark during some steam sale... maybe.

I hear you man. If the devs didn't have enough money to pay Gamespot for a decent score, they obviously didn't have enough for game development so it must suck balls.

Is that really how that works, or are you just being paranoid? I've never bothered to look into such things. I did check out a couple of other review sites, and some further reviews from people who've played the game, and I still keep seeing these mild looking scores. I thought this was going to be the game of the year the way it was talked about in this thread.

Oh well, I suppose I'll leave this thread to the real fans of this game.

TPF Out.

Check out user review scores. Much better than the "experts", who've been complaining about it being too old school. You just can't satisfy everyone.

You just can't satisfy everyone.

Truer words have never been spoken. The game just doesn't seem like it is for me (of course I could be wrong) and I wanted to share my opinion on it, that's all. I definately didn't come in this thread with the intention of trololololing or anything like that.

TPF Out. For real this time.

User reviews are even worse than professional reviews. User reviews are either fanboys giving the game 10 no matter what, or angry gamers (with a chip on their shoulder for whatever reason) bombing it with 1s. It's selection bias at its finest.

This is on sale for $12 at getgamesgo.com. Great game.

Ordered it from there, got an email without a key in it. It's blank where it says "your steam key is:" When I go back to the site it says they're sold out of keys and won't take any more orders. Funny... didn't have an issue taking my money a few minutes ago regardless :rolleyes:

Emailing them now, hopefully their CS is decent

Hmm. That blows. They were pretty quick to respond to my emails when I contacted them. From what I've been reading on Slickdeals/Reddit, their CS sounds good. Hopefully they'll be able to provide you a working key. They don't get too much exposure, but they've been putting up some decent deals recently.

Yeah that's what I'm expecting. It was a good price so I'm hoping it's just a matter of waiting a bit for a key. I hope I don't have to settle for a refund. I don't mind waiting a few weeks for a key if necessary as I don't need it immediately by any means.

I decided to buy the game as I enjoyed the previous Sam games. I'm starting to get into it but it takes a couple of levels. The first two levels are not very good at all. Doesn't look so but right before the second boss (that robot thing) the enemy count really starts to pick up.
