So, anyone play it yet? Thoughts?

The reviews look good.

I'm split between this and getting Drake's Fortune 2.

Waiting for Pal release to PC

You're pale and sickly?

lol extremely. i thought about it all day at work today.

the game freaking rocks. it blends the action RPG/FPS very nicely. combat is quick and intense. ive been playing it 2 player split screen, which sucks for FPS's of course cause you can't see half the shit around you. i haven't tried the online multiplayer, but my understanding is its up to four players online (but you can't split screen it), they match you with people of your level, and the enemies get harder with more people.

the four classes you choose from have different skills that you can level up and i am absolutely IN LUV with the whole 'random loot' its got goin on. i used to play a lot of Champions of Norrath back in my PS2 days, this game has a lot of similarities to it. i haven't played Diablo (i know, shoot me now) or Dungeon Siege, so I'm not sure how they might be similar past the random loot feature. The only character customization it has is that you get to customize 3 different parts of your character with colors (so you can make a hot-pink brute if you really want )

IT ROCKS! GET IT NOW!!

In the past couple of days i've been playing every time my friend and i have free time. (aka, not at work) With the exception of a few serious bugs, including having one of the worst online interfaces i've ever seen, the game is amazing. Average gaming sessions last several hours, until someone realizes "oh my god i have to go to the bathroom! ahhhhh!"

And the loot is priceless.
Sniper rifles that set bad guys on fire, Shotguns that fire miniature rockets, grenades that explode into more grenades... every time you open a chest with something glowing blue, purple, or orange inside, you get excited to see what wild feature it has.

Definitely the best multiplayer experience of the past year or two, once you learn how to use online properly. This game is gonna give L4D2 a serious run for its money.

Im extremely pleased with the game.

i understand they've been getting on fixing those online bugs. i haven't even tried the online yet, hopefully they'll all be fixed soon.

Been playing for the last few days, and it's a lot of fun. Haven't gone online yet, and though i imagine it's even more fun if you can throw two or three friends together for a co-op run, the game is still plenty of fun to solo.

I found a shotgun that fires rockets. Really. In the description, it says, "Holy crap--it shoots rockets!"

Art style is brilliant.

The engine is well optimized (it is, after all, based on Unreal tech) runs well on something that didn't cost you 5k last month.

The combat game play is as visceral as COD4. Remember in Diablo - you hit a guy with a fuckin blunt object and it sounds like a fuckin blunt object? The timing, everything - perfect? This game has that in the FPS world.

The characters are well defined and hilarious.

This is primarily a co-op game. Play it with your buddies and remember what it felt like when you brought home that floppy disk with the doom demo on it. I would sit around in art class in middle school and draw the 'doom' logo on random disks. This is the first game in a long time that I think about even close to that much when I'm not actually playing it.

Buy it, reward these guys for the hard work and play the shit out of it.
