The Thing

Rhett

Has anyone played it for the PC? Is it any good? I am thinking of getting it (just because I like the Trust concept and other game ideas). Many people say its good, just want to get an opinion I can trust. I wouldt want it, but somebody already found out how to do in-mission saves, so it is ok with me. Thanks.

Thanks for clearing that up. I got it, and its pretty good (The Thing, I mean). HAvent had a chance to play too much of it, though.

Mundane

It's a little cool...not played much though

It's pretty cool. The controls, although good, have a definite console feel, though.

It has some good atomsphere, too.

My opinion after played a few levels: it sucks [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

Rhett

I have played a few hours worth of it now. Pretty good console port, cool idea, not as effective application as it could have been [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/frown.gif[/img] Id call it a C+ game (so far). Definately use the savegame hack, because otherwise you are going to cursing the game...

Rhett

Well, I beat the game today. A little too short for my tastes. I will say it again: Great concept, not so good application. Sad, there are so many cool things that could have come of the trust/fear interfaces. Well, now I am saving up for Medieval Total War(which will keep me occupied longer than ~10 hours...
