Just finished it - great game, a refreshing change in tactical balance. Chocke-points may not be an obvious concept for everyone, and without that it's impossible to complete The Bowl.
the game is so good, it deserves a 6, not a 5. Still, it irritates me being constantly offered to pay real money.
As a game, the maximum vote is guaranteed. But as a service, I'm giving it 4 for the reason stated above.
Alf101, you need to get all badges to increase your initial survivability - then it's down to careful party planning and some luck in skill upgrades/weapons available. So far almost 2.600 people got it (me being one of them).
Ever since this game is in the Mass Effect 2 challenges, a lot of noobs played it and, since they SUCK at life they rated this game low just because they can't play.
Used to be 4.29, now a bunch of immature kids lowered its score. Bah!
People that change their rating because of the difficulty are such idiots. If you suck it's not the author's fault.
Plus, those that even take the time to write about it are total losers.
nasdaddy, Rogue with Revolver here as well, currently day 131 on HC. But Mk-76? Wow, looks like after day 40-50ish, difficulty grows slower than weapon power :)
For anybody that is having trouble with this fun but hard, really hard shooter, please browse the forum for the many strategy or guide threads.
Believe me, it is hard but truly rewarding when you finally tame the beast.
