Saw the gameplay trailer on their homepage, and I was like: "What the hell?" :ugly:

Nope, it's not out yet. Rock, Paper, Shotgun have been reporting on it all the time and say that it's probably good. I gave the game the benefit of doubt - exactly because of the "What the Hell?" effect and bought it yesterday - 7.99 isn't much - it's like one Kebab in the Netherlands. ;-)

I hate those cheap prizes. They make me buy games that I'm not gonna play fully!
I'm really thinking about buying this thing, even though I'm not much into the fantasy or punk genre, and both combined seems just overkill. :ugly:

It would be great if somebody could find a definitve answer on Jedi's question.

You don't have to rush - Zeno Clash will still be -25% until its release in about a month.

Nobody can really answer your questions - the review copies aren't out yet.

Look at this video and see if this is something that appeals to you:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di5ot2sA ... 26fmt%3D18[/youtube]

I'm really curious how the combat will work in practical terms since I'm a big fan of it when it's properly executed, while many FPSes have failed to make it interesting (e.g. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic :-P). If it's anything like the system from The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, only with some additional options, then count me in! I also dig the crazy artwork - finally something original - it may turn out to be pointless but at least it shows somebody tried, unlike in recent big-name shooters that always feature similar artwork and even story lines (compare Resistance, Gears of War, Killzone - all good games but VERY safe in their design decisions).

By the way - continuing the trend of ridiculous offers, both 2D Oddworld titles (Abe's Exoddus and Abe's Oddysee) are available for 3,75 Euros (in total). 0_o

I know these are old titles but I always loved the Oddworld universe...
Geez - I guess Valve was right with their data that the more they take off a title's price, the more revenue they get (not just sales, money in general - weird :-D).

Time to bump the topic - Zeno Clash preloading has started and the guys over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun were quite positive about it:

Weeeell - it depends. The gameplay is fine and the story WOULD be interesting if it weren't delivered in such a "choppy" manner. The art style is also awesome but you probably know that already. The main question remains how much you're willing to pay for such a short game - I looked at my Steam profile and it tells me that I have a total of 3.4 hours of gameplay and that's what it took me to beat the whole game with not much incentive left to play the challenge mode, which might take me to around 4 hours...
Considering how little I paid by preordering Zeno Clash I must say that I'm very satisfied BUT even if independent developers might need the money I don't think I would pay the full price for the game, considering how many movie tickets I might get instead. =)

Nah - the movie-going experience is worth paying for all by itself, regardless of the movie in question. Truth be told it might even be epically shitty - then you can have a good laugh with your pals.

Yep, I liked it too and for the 5€ I payed it was definitevely worth it's money.
Don't know if I'd pay 15€ though.


I really have to say, the scene with the huge whale is one of the best I've ever seen in any videogame.
