frustrating gameplay and bad sound work is to blame. My money will go to Condemned instead.

Don' t buy Condemned, just rent it. I beat it quickly and I was drunk and hungover at the time. I would say there is little to no replay value, and I personally don' t like the multiplayer. The hit detection seems terribly off in multiplayer, and everyone moves like a play-mobile figurine beating an animatronic corpse from a carnival with a rolled up newspaper.

That would be assuming i could rent a game and complete it over a weekend. a game like condemned will be 1-2 weeks of gameplay for me, since my gaming time is limited.

Too Human hasnt been hyped.

from the early screen shots we all thought it were a DMC/NG clonse in a cyberspace setting with robots,now its the same but a RPG more like diablo.

If thats not your genre,fine but dont review the game then.
Majik for some reason dislike the game because its not in his genre,because I never heard him talking about wanting something similiar.

With that said,the game so far looks just allright,nothing AAA about the game so far,the graphic is great but we havnt seen any quest or co-op at all yet.

Until that is shown then we can talk if the game seems to deliver or not.

Because just looking at someone hitting dead monster in castlevania or diablo isnt fun,but it is polaying and doing quest.

I understand that sentiment wholeheartedly. I realized I should be diversifying my games a bit when I unlocked the golden Benelli. I shouldn' t be getting 200 shotty headshots in 2 days.

Sorry about the offtopic but its not worth making a new thread for this. Does Condemed 2 depend on the first game story? or is it a new story but shares the same name? Do i need to play the first to play this one? it looks cool but i dont want to play it if i have to play the first one.

The lead character is the ssame, and some of the stuff form his background is nice to know, but the main story ended in the first.

here is a summery


The game begins with the protagonist, FBI agent Ethan Thomas, arriving at the scene of a murder. He and his fellow officers go into an abandoned building that is surrounded by pyschopaths and criminals. The murder they observe is one of a young woman. She is on the floor with strangled wounds across from what is a male mannequin. Ethan along with his colleagues agree that the murder was most likely one of the Matchmaker' s, a murderer that Ethan has been on the trail of for quite a while. After they observe the scene further they move into another room where they smell smoke. They decide to go after the suspect they hear above them by splitting up. While searching for the suspect, he is flung from an electrical box by the resulting charge of activating it. This makes him accidentally drop his weapon and a man hiding in the shadows takes it. The man tells him not to interfere with his mission. Some officers enter the room as this event takes place, and the man shoots at them before shoving Ethan out a window onto the street.

Ethan wakes up in his apartment with Malcolm Vanhorn, a friend of Ethan’s father, at his side. Malcolm warns Ethan that he is wanted for the deaths of two of the officers that the man at the crime scene shot. Ethan is determined to prove his innocence.

He soon finds evidence that the man is interested in Ethan’s FBI career. Later, he finds one of the serial killers that he had been looking for killed by his own modus operandi. He presumes that the man at the crime scene is trying to kill the serial killers that Ethan is looking for, so he searches for the one that he thinks is next, the Torturer.

Shortly before finding the Torturer, Ethan is attacked by a strange man-like creature. Ethan kills the creature, and then finds the Torturer dead, also killed by his own modus operandi. Soon Ethan finds the mysterious killer, who is revealed to be Leland Vanhorn, nephew of Malcolm Vanhorn. Malcolm arrives and knocks Ethan out to prevent him from hurting Leland. Leland then knocks Malcolm out.

When Ethan revives, he is tied up and at the mercy of Leland. He explains to Ethan that he has been killing the serial killers that Ethan had been hunting, and that he intends to kill Ethan as well. While Leland is talking, Ethan notices another man-like creature hiding in the rafters. Malcolm jumps Leland from behind and begins to wrestle him. Ethan manages to free himself, and Malcolm tells him to kill the creature saying that it is the cause of Leland’s madness. Ethan pursues the creature as it tries to escape. He eventually corners it in a barn and kills it.

As Malcolm drives Ethan home, Ethan discovers that Leland is alive in the trunk of the car. When Ethan looks in the trunk, he is given the option to shoot Leland as he lies tied up. If he does not shoot Leland himself, Leland pulls out his gun and waves it at Ethan before committing suicide. Later, Ethan and Rosa are having a conversation in a diner when Ethan excuses himself to go to the bathroom. Something bizarre happens in the bathroom and Ethan' s face becomes that of the man-like creature.
