Picked this up last night, played it for a couple of hours, and I'm impressed. The game runs really well, no frame rate issues. I really like the comic book style narration, it works well. Gameplay is loads of fun. I'm going through my first run as a good guy, so I'm not running about blowing s*** up. Missions are well balanced in terms of difficulty. Haven't fought a boss yet, so can't comment on that. Great game so far :bigthumb:

I hated that game. I wanted to like it, and there were aspects of it I genuinely enjoyed. But the control responsiveness is absolutely bottom of the barrel. Everything's to automated and hand-holdey, and it removes any precision. Most of the time when trying to climb things, I'll end up doing anything BUT the one thing I actually want to do.

It's easily one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. Bad controls, bad camera, sloppy aiming. The whole game in general just feels sloppy. I couldn't find a chance to have any fun amidst being angry at the controls.

Wow, really? I find everything pretty good. The aiming was well done, imo. Anyways, beat the game as Hero this morning, started a new game and plan on finishing it as infamous. Some of the cut scenes are different depending on which "faction" you are.
