Playing Dark Sector to see the history of digital extremes and its baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. Its really really baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

The combat has the potential to be fun if the game wasnt a frustrating boring enemy spam fest.

        Holy shit, I actually forgot that game existed. And I've had Turok on my mind (getting the Nightdive remasters from the summer sale)

        Turok 2008 was def more deserving of the bargain bin but weirdly I never saw that many copies...

        Turok Evolution is the one and only time I've actively regretted a $5 purchase

          Oh I wasn't saying I thought the games were bad. Just they were what you'd see in the bargain bins. I miss being able to go in and pick up a cheap decent game lol I have a fondness for the AA janky games lol

            It gets points for this scene and maybe the jetpack. 3/10 would rather play far cry instincts

    iirc it was originally going to be a mix between Unreal Tournament and Warframe until executive meddling took out nearly everything but the suit and glaive and replaced it with market trends. Warframe was much closer to the game they originally wanted to make back when it released in 2013, but 10 years of permanent beta has allowed them to expand everything well beyond their original scope.

      https://youtu.be/7nl8890-C2w yeah the original trailer was much closer to the warframe we know today but the publisher wanted grey cover shooter like everyone else.

        lmao I completely forgot they just straight up had the Zariman in that trailer. Pretty sure I last watched it back when "Tenno = Ten Zero" was still a joke, though.

    The promo stuff leading up to this game looked cool. Shame dark sector was a let down, can view it on the popular video webzone

    This is the one that added a few environmental puzzles and branded itself as a Zelda-like, right?
