Vanquish

So this is fun, yeah.

Just stopped at Act 3. It's quite satisfying when you get the hang of the game. But I still got a long way to go before kicking ass like a boss.

I hope at least one of us actually bothers to finish it though.

It's a pity that the story is not nearly as interesting as the gameplay. It's almost non-existent, and the characters are bland and forgettable too.

Shortest plot summary ever.

I think there was this guy with a suit in the game he had a gun

So, sequel hook at the end huh? Wonder when the hell that'll come around, if ever.

This was crying out for multiplayer.

How do you propose the bullet time mechanics would work?

The only way I can see MP working with this is if it was a heavily modified variation on the ARS gameplay where you race against other players along a track and can shoot each other to slow one another down. Dodge rolling left or right while boosting would be implemented, and the suits would, of course, have infinite energy. That or they can overheat just like in the main game, but throughout the track there are power ups to cool down the system.

Max Payne 3 did it.

So how did May Payne 3 do it?

Finished this, final boss had some really bullshit attacks on hard mode but I got through it after a couple of tries and learning to boost + dodge in quick succession to move faster than otherwise possible. This game has the best credits ever, you get to shoot all the developers faces as they show up.
