Sin Episodes (ep 1) initial things. by Creexul :( 05/10/2006, 5:27pm PDT
Pretty good actually, better than I thought it would be, especially considering how godawful Sin 1 was.

It is like a really excellent HL2 TC, and then some. None of the annoying shit that made Sin 1 suck, such as bad voice acting (surprisingly some of the same voice people reprised their roles in this and are really not at all annoying), better level design and layout with none of the boring wandering crap or swimming through underwater caverns that all look the same (instead the maps have a Half-Life 2ian feel to them but with the old Ord of the Level's touches like easy to find easter eggs thrown all over the fawkin place), better shooting people, ragdolls of course, a pretty good use of physics, a cool looking dynamic statistic tracking and dynamic fuckin uh uh uh UH!!!!!!! >:( difficulty system.

Other annoying shit that ISN'T in this game: boring 3 second soundtrack that loops for all eternity, dumb guards who all call you Barney Miller, AND THEN YOU MAKE THEM YOUR BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BETTER MAKE THOSE CRATES MY BITCH ALSO. Lame humor (there is some better, funny humor in this game, such as the vending machines of Grape Drink). Unsettling jello effect on models. Carrying 90 powerful or confusing pointless weapons but having no ammo for them and getting overstocked for a shitty assault rifle (there are only a few guns in this game but they're all pretty cool).

Downside: showstopper bug that me AND jso both hit, same place. The support forums are all over it and the QA guy says he is figuring it out right now.

There are a couple other nitpicks but I can get to that when I actually finish the game. There's probably only a couple hours left. ~_~
