Unreal Tournament 3

(1/3) > >>

thepugs:
So I don't suppose anybody actually picked this up considering it released on the same day as Mass Effect, but is anyone else playing this?

It seems very Gears of War-ish; not surprising, considering the engine.  While a few people have been complaining about hardware problems, I've found solutions for any trouble I've had, and it runs pretty decent on my desktop.  I might even bother learning Unrealscript now that people will be around to help.  The biggest part for me will be to see all the new mods and user-created content for it.

The campaign mode seems interesting, and I like that it's a single-player experience a la Unreal or Unreal 2 (not the like the campaign mode of the other UT games).  Haven't quite finished, but I'm close.  The online play seems a lot of fun, too.  It just begs for something like Live.

Any thoughts?

Dimmukane:
The only reason I buy the unreal games is the assault mode server 'trial' maps and 'race' maps that people make, and for the editor.  I'm gonna wait until it goes down a sawbuck or two.

Statik:
I'm dissapointed, honestly.

Granted, actually playing the game?  Its quite good, and has the expected level of polish, I read somewhere that someone called it "Original UT with new graphics"  or something similar, and it kinda plays like that (although I still miss the ripper)

As the game exists now I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, and my primary complaints come about because of the TERRIBLE interface.

Old UT games had one of the best, most straightforward, yet tons of options interfaces ever made.  Dozens of ways to customize the HUD, tons of ways to make even the base game "yours"
I dunno if they just didnt have TIME, or what, but the new meni-submenu shit is dumb, clunky, and shitty on the choices.
And the account thing is rather dumb as well.

Its like someone put a hunk of gold inside a pile of shit.  Sure theres gold in there, and you could concievably get to it, but you are gonna have to go through shit to get it.

Seriously, how do you go from one of the best UIs ever in a game to a stupid Q3 ripoff bullshit UI...

McTaggart:
Yeah, they've been going waay backwards since the original tournament. I really liked the desktop system.

KvP:
Sales are really hurting. They'd best get the remaining console ports out right quick.
