Syndicate: Loards for cheap, Orikae's calling it now - GOTY 2012.

Moriveth

Also I just tried a bit of the co-op

seems really neat

also dang seems a lot more frantic/faster than the single-player, not in a bad way, though

Nekx

Just got this. If anybody is down for some co-op tomorrow, my gt is chasr4president

Moriveth

So Orik said he'd be available from 7

I am ready and waitin'

Let's shoot some mans and be cyberpunks

Edit: I'm gonna be playing singleplayer until people are ready, I guess.

Moriveth

Okay, well, I'll be available to play later tonight, I think.

DouglasDanger

i can't play the demo for some reason
grr

and i am too poor to buy the game and can only hope people are still playing it if i can afford it as a birthday splurge in april

Moriveth

Well I'll still have it by then I'm sure

So if you get it, let me know!

DouglasDanger

do you play on ps3
it seems most of the se crowd who own a ps3 also own a xbox and play all their multi-player games on that

Moriveth

Oh no I don't, whoooops

DouglasDanger

dang bro

Orikaeshigitae

i'm gonna be playing co-op around 10 or so

sorry mori, got wrapped up in stuff

Moriveth

It's okay!

If I'm around I will be playing then, Rachel wanted to play some ME so I'ma let her play till she's done.

Orikaeshigitae

I'm on now. Started a syndicate.

Melding

what did you call it? it better be something cool or i will start a rival syndicate.

Dichotomy

the counter syndicate

Melding

Yeah but this time the counter syndicate wouldn't have existed before the other syndicate, so that part of the magic is gone.

Dichotomy

you dropped the ball this time, melding

Melding

yeah well, shut up.

See if i have you on as a guest of my syndicate.

Moriveth

God damn it why don't more of you have this game

the co-op is fucking awesome

especially when it's just two dudes, I think every mission recommends four

Orik and I still beat it in the end, though, cause we are awesome.

8-)

But it's not like the old Syndicate weh weh weh

Wish more people had this game.

Wanna shoot some dudes in co-op for the glory of Eurocorp.

it actually is. Atlantic Accelerator is pretty similar to the old map from what i remember, it's just it's from first-person perspective

also, holy fuck is the co-op well designed

i am in awe of this game. i am so hard to please and yet i can't wait to play this again

Orikaeshigitae

not only would it still be a good game if it wasn't called syndicate, if it hadn't been called syndicate i would wonder why, because it is so well-suited to this franchise

Dux

aaah I just stabbed a dude in the eye.

Aaah I just hacked a hologram to give me sensitive information regarding a corporate rival.

This game is awesome.

Moriveth

I was cutting dudes in half with my freaking revolver. Game's awesome.

I would be down for co-op. I've just been playing the singleplayer so far

Which is totally awesome and I love it

Moriveth

Basically I want to try and play as much Syndicate multiplayer as I can this week because once Mass Effect is out nobody will ever touch this game again

I mean I hope people will still play it

but ME3 is gonna be huuuuuge

Orikaeshigitae

I'd much rather play this MP than horde mode.

Moriveth

This MP is way fun, it's true. I think the juggernaut that is the ME franchise is gonna beat this though.

Dux

I feel that releasing this game so near ME3 was a something of a mistake. Syndicate is awesome, but if people have to choose between it and ME3, ME3's going to win out.

Hopefully it'll at least turn enough of a profit to warrant a sequel. I would like to see more of this world.

So, I guess I'm nearing the end of the singleplayer. Spoilers ahead.

Not really happy about defecting. After all the shit I did I was swept aside, just like that. I guess it makes sense. Still, I'm a valuable asset, damnit! My character also seems like way too much of a psychopath to empathise with the plight of the Downtowners.

Also, not really a fan of teaming up of with Drawl. We'll see where this ends.

Moriveth

Yeah. I wish this game would have come out in, say, summer.

Though unfortunately it probably would've been ignored then too by virtue of mainly crap games coming out in summertime.

Eh, I think it would still be a lot more popular. I think people would really appreciate a great game coming out in a time of drought, so to speak.

But then again, they might not. vOv

John Zoidberg

I am so fucking smitten with this game it's unbelievable. Spent half a co-op game gushing over how I just loved every little aspect of the design.

Everything from the art direction to the sound effects to the gunplay just make me breach my pants.

Yeah, I'm the same, although I haven't played co-op yet due to lack of people I know who got it on Origin.

Iron Weasel

Man, I really enjoyed the co-op for this game (Melding is right: it’s a different beast from Mass Effect 3), but my video game budget for this quarter is already allocated. If I get this at the end of the month for my birthday, will people still be playing on 360?

Also, as much as I enjoy rolling around in ME3 multi, sliding into cover in Syndicate is somehow more satisfying.

Moriveth

The guns are so amazingly satisfying in this game

Although I have to admit I was disappointed with the belt-fed shotgun!

Dux

I was sort of disappointed by the rocket launcher, but that might have been because I suck.

All the other guns so far have been amazing.

Iron Weasel

The basic semi-auto handgun is so much fun to shoot.

Dux

I should use that more. I always switch it out for something more exotic.

Moriveth

I've been using the revolver, I forget what it's called

It is ludicrously powerful and cuts guys the eff in half
