Callisto Protocol - Dead Space 4 in all but name! - The Bear and Badger

Speedhaak

When I successfully perfect self duplication I'll get on this, loved Dead Space but I literally have about 4 games on the go now with about an hour or two a night to play.

Price is a barrier though. A lower price may have pulled more buyers in. £70 is ridonculous.

It is, its a 40 quid game max. I only got it as it was bought for me, no way I'd have paid max by myself.

As is aiming for more sales than Dead Space.
Publisher has hugely overestimated this one regardless of any faults the game may have.

I'd have got this if reviews were averaging out to high 8s. I might even have got it if the reviews were lower, if most of the commonly agreed flaws sounded subjective.

This was actually the game i was most looking forward to last year

It sounds like they poured too much money into it for what it was, then set their expectations too high. That's what you get for trying to make 'AAAA' a thing.

If you want a graphical powerhouse to be holy shitting at this is the game. Even if you're not interested in it gameplay wise.

Only Cyberpunk max Ray tracing on PC is a game I'd hold above it as fucking fuck me look at it levels.

Ridiculous how good this looks, even in Performance mode.

Bought again for £24 now New Game+ is available. What a week, this and Dead Space. Aces.

No need. 12/10.

We have to wait another 8 and 1/2 months or so?! Dammit.

I'm about to bounce off this......

I've tried so hard to get into it, but I just can't get myself interested in any of it; from the gameplay to the story to the actual world they've tried to create.

Graphically it's fabulous and a real feast for the eyes. Same with the sound effects too. But, they just can't make up for a bit of a rubbish (harsh and a little unfair) game.

I'm at

Spoiler:

Any ideas on how much further I have to go?

yourfavouriteuncle

So, I’m going to buy one of these and wait for a sale on the other. Which do I go for as the full pricer?

Wookienopants

I'm waiting for both to go on sale.
Really want Dead Space buuuuut Callisto Protocol is a new story, new setting, new characters...

yourfavouriteuncle

That’s roughly my thoughts too. Would like to get one in before the days start getting longer.

Verecocha

What console you wanting to play them on? Will have gone through NG+ on Callisto within days, £25 inc postage if anyone wants it, Xbox version.

Finished this last night. Really enjoyed it and it was a short, sharp run through that didn't outstay its welcome. My only criticism really would be that it's just too relentless in its combat. It should give you some breathing space every now and again instead of the constant barrage of enemies. 8 Isaacs out of 10.

Blue Swirl

Here in Taiwan, they're quite keen on random gubbins with their games if you buy them day one. Usually they have way too many for those who buy at launch, and extras end up in the bargain bucket.

Long story short, shop near me has these:

If anyone wants one, PM me. Price: nowt. (Badgers forever.

I coincidentally started this last night

Moot_Geeza

I thought this was good. Does this mean I'd probably like Dead Space?

ShabbyMcCrabby

Yes

Surely this is going to be on GP anytime soon.

Howdy, Stranger!
