| Syndicate isn't a cover shooter, and it's definitely not a mobility shooter. It's more like a dominance shooter: your goal is to cancel damage before you take it, through a combination of slow motion, defensive hacking (incoming projectiles, guns spooling up), offensive hacking (to stagger, knockdown, debuff), and precision shooting with fast TTK firearms. Not every arcade shooter was Smash TV; some were Time Crisis, or Wild Guns. What they all had in common was getting you to the decision-making right away, then continually spewing decisions until you fucked up enough of them to game over. When it's on, Syndicate feels like a state of the art arcade shooter. When it's not, it feels like Half-Life 2, like riding the no hands tram to real face station. Could be worse! Some games feel like Half-Life 2 the whole time. | ||||

I know a lot of people here don't like Bioware games anyway by 05/15/2012, 2:10pm PDT  Re: I know a lot of people here don't like Bioware games anyway by 05/16/2012, 12:09pm PDT jeep was pretty prescient here. NT by 12/16/2016, 11:03pm PST I just want to say that EA's Starbreeze's Syndicate was shockingly good, by 12/17/2016, 2:46am PST It was a generic, shitty, two weapon, cover shooter clone with a shit story. NT by 01/06/2017, 12:37pm PST It's very high quality and not remotely a cover shooter, but the rest is spot on NT by 01/06/2017, 1:45pm PST I bought this on your recommendation but I haven't played it yet. by 01/07/2017, 12:59am PST Play on hard. Don't give up on the first boss, nothing else is as bad as he is. by 01/07/2017, 2:09am PST I really like it so far, the missile boss sucked by 05/21/2017, 8:13pm PDT They frame it as a moral conundrum. by 05/23/2017, 6:12pm PDT |
