I played it very recently, without any history with the IP. Probably got it in some Humble Bundle or something, cause I don’t actually remember buying it.
Overall I enjoyed the game, agree with your summary about writing, graphics and combat, but it didn’t feel anything great. Good, but not great is my opinion. Personally, felt more like 7 or 7.5/10.
That’s a very interesting outlook.
I don’t buy anything I don’t want to play right now (or after the current game, and it’s on sale right now), so don’t have the backlog issue, but I need closure. I can’t leave my games unfinished. I can drop a game if I want, but I need to mentally “finish” it. Either by completing it or by dropping it.
It is good. People seem to love it, but as someone who mostly plays RPGs and hasn’t played much single player FPS (at least not recently), I can’t really judge how it stands with other games in the genre.
I think it took me 6-7 hours to finish it, and I wouldn’t have minded it if it was even twice as long. So that is good. And yeah, there is some of that military drama too.
Would love to hear your opinion, if you do get around to playing it.
I didn’t mean a tycoon game. I think a 3rd Person RPG will be the best option, but even a first person shooter can work with good story and mechanics. Or even a 3rd person action / adventure narrative game, something like Uncharted (as in similar genre).
Though, I won’t mind a tycoon game either. And if it can have voice acting by the SG-1 cast, that would be super cool too.
This only effects playing on Windows, which in turn only hurts Windows, which is pretty much a monopoly, so not much of an issue there.
Personally I don’t care too much about Windows, just happy that Linux is finally getting some foothold. Nothing wrong with having both Window and SteamOS/Linux gaming systems.
Yeah, I prefer Steam over GoG, but competition is always good, so hope things get better for them.
