Title: Blood Dragon: The 80s is strong with this one
Post by: StarSlayer on April 11, 2013, 07:42:56 pm
I saw the first 15 minutes in a preview for this on IGN.  The music, the cutscenes, the tutorials...

The Apocalypse has had an Apocalypse!

I'm seriously confused by the reveal trailer, but it certainly does look awesome

I love how this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the original Far Cry 3, yet looks hilariously awesome.

Why didnt they made this into its own full game?
Title: Re: Blood Dragon: The 80s is strong with this one
Post by: An4ximandros on April 16, 2013, 09:34:18 pm
It's a standalone DLC/expansion.

I played a few rounds of MWO to this.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0IiDf_aPe0) I think my HGN-733C stats buffed just because of it.

Jesus... I have to try that.  It sounds totally awesome and kinda fits BattleTech.  BattleTech games haven't really captured the apocalyptic feel, this'd be a nice touch.

i haven't played it but i heard it was bad (from the errant signal guy, who of late seems to be trying to become as unbearably pretentious as he can manage)

He's wrong. It's significantly better than Far Cry 3. More entertaining too!

I got bored half an hour into it. Have yet to resume playing it.
Earlier this week I resumed the game only to find out that my progress from earlier was not saved. Didn't think much of it, started from the beginning again since I didn't get that far. So I play a while and then quit the game to do some other stuff. I get back to the game later same day, only to discover my progress wasn't saved this time either.

Fed up, I search the tubes for answers. Read that this is a common problem caused by developer decision to save only at beginning of each mission. Meaning checkpoints don't work as proper saves if you quit the game.

I promptly uninstalled the game and moved it to Steam's "Trash" category. At least the game was cheap, but I still didn't get my money's worth out of it.
