Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
 
Has anyone played it? If so, is it better than the first game?

Brodie 06-29-2009 06:26 PM

I've been playing it, and it seems to be more shallow than the first. The controls blow, and the graphics are worse. How does this happen?

Slap-Happy 06-29-2009 06:43 PM

Great, just great. I had better hopes for this.

Candy Kappa 06-29-2009 06:58 PM

darn...
always remeber that guns and missiles are weak compared to the mighty tree!

Brodie 06-29-2009 07:28 PM

Its really strange. The Melee sucks in this, and the guns are stronger....but not by much.

The story makes a bit more sense than the movie....but the lack of cutscenes is ridiculous. I snagged the first game for 10 bucks when Circuit City was closing, and I reallykind of enjoyed it. But this was abysmal.

The best way to describe it is this: Its a real Transformers game, in the sense that you're playing a game where it seems and feels like you're playing with Transformer toys. I kid you not. There seems to be no real weight or anything for falling or walking. The first one handled it really well.

The medal system really sucks too.

Just kidding. :)

It's hard to completely hate a game when you pay $10.

Dark 5cythe 06-30-2009 03:58 PM

What system are you playing it on?

The game has been fun so far. Transforming is cool, the guns are much stronger, the graphics look good, there ARE cutscenes, between each level, and this game has a cool level up/upgrade system.

If you like TF, you will like the game. Its pretty cool to have whole teams of TF to choose from for missions.

The first game was worse.

Translation: If you're one of those zany "80's kids" who can't help but hold on to your pathetic childhood, the new Transformers game will be right up your lonely alley.

If you don't collect sh*tty 80's toys, have stopped wearing your He-Man underwear, and no longer play GI Joe in the sandbox, look elsewhere for something that isn't a redundant piece of licensed-trash.

Brodie 06-30-2009 04:55 PM

There aren't really cutscenes, the stuff after every level is the same ****. Its just to get you to play all the optional missions "We're meeting our primary and secondary goals efficiently." "We could be meeting our goals quicker."

The CGI cutscenes are awful, its laziness masquerading as intentional "digital readouts." They use photos of people, which isn't bad, but they show people moving on the "computer" with the grid pattern that overlays a 3d rendered object before it gets skin. Its pretty lame. Screen flicker/static filters try to push it forward, but its still kind of lame.

The graphics are not as good as the original.

For anyone wondering about transforming....You hold down the trigger to stay transformed. So there's no ability to get any sense of speed, because youre always holding down the trigger, which is linked to the acceleration.

Pretty lame.

And if you're wondering what I'm playing it on to say the graphics are ****? a 360 hooked to an HD tv.

Game is entertaining for a few minutes, but its even more repetitive than the first, with pretty much only 3 or 4 mission types. No lie.

Another prime example of a game where the multiplayer was just thrown in.

Blade Raider 06-30-2009 05:13 PM

My brother got the game and he loves it (even playing it now), but I hate it. It's not the worse thing ever, but the controls alone ruin it.

That's one of the things I hate the most. It needs to be a toggle button.

Definitely not worth $50-60. I'd barely want it at $30.

The Armada game still remains the best TF game for me.

I'm not quite sure you have the right to make fun of anyone. But hey, its really easy to be very tough when your hiding behind a screen.

Another unoriginal comeback. Jesus, you're just full of 'em. And it's not Anime, it's from a game, so shows how much you know about them.

Dark 5cythe 06-30-2009 07:32 PM

Wtf, It takes TWO penny arcade "techs" to attack one lone newb?

Are you the sidekick or is he? And how much does the gig pay?

And must you two idiots derail everythread?

GK Punk 06-30-2009 07:48 PM

Alright guys, enough of the fighting

I enter the TMNT section of the forum RARELY, and have done so for almost my entire stay here. I've got 11,000 posts because I've been here for so long. In November, it'll be 8 years. I think that accounts for my post count.

The rest of your post is assumed nonsense, and the same tired crap I've heard before.

Well, I think we know who Peanut's next crazy stalker will be. This is just the first step, you guys.

Yep. People become obsessed with him.

愛 07-02-2009 07:41 PM

I made a sackboy of him. He's holding a hockey stick and a can of beer. It's quite fitting, I must say. :)

Dark 5cythe 07-02-2009 10:09 PM

wait, why did he have stalkers? and why did people become obsessed with him? Is it like a love hate thing?

Peanut 07-02-2009 10:21 PM

You're starting to head down that path. Now, get over it.

Samhain 07-03-2009 06:21 PM

I still need this game. Loved the first one so this will most likely please me....

You won't, trust me. I enjoyed the first one too, this one left an unfortunate amount of something-to-be-desired.

AquaParade 07-08-2009 12:05 PM

^ Interesting to hear you guys say that.

I heard a lot of people claiming this one was actually quite a step up from the first, so I was actually considering picking it up...Mostly to play online.
