It's a retro-futuristic farce. Do you judge Police Academy by same standards as you judge English Patient? I don't.

I bought this the other day because I'm easily swayed by neon, but I forgot that Ubisoft's UPlay malware is installed without your consent, even if you purchase their games via Steam. That is the last Ubisoft game I'll ever purchase, and the first and last time I've had malware on my computer since I built this rig in 2011. Might as well give it a try, th—

It's still the 2000s, alright. Nothing's changed. Linear corridor shooter requiring no player skill whatsoever.

Weird, never ran into that. Maybe there's one early in the game or something, I ran around a lot. But yeah modernitis does rear its head once in a while. Motion blur for one, ugh.

Skyway, the 80ies expert?
Unlike the majority of 20-something morons that weren't even born in 80s ITT - no.

All that fapping to how 80s this game is and yet not a single hipster can tell which movie in 80s looked like a neon color puke and which musicians sounded like a shitty modern club fodder called Blood Dragon OST

1.) I was born in 1982.

2.) Tron.

3.) Give it a fucking rest. It might be modern-ified, but the soundtrack is strongly reminiscent of movies like Terminator, Escape from New York, Blade Runner, RoboCop, Heavy Metal, and many others. The OST's on YouTube for anyone to hear.

I believe Blood Dragon is supposed to be like a mix between an 80s Saturday morning cartoon and an 80s action movie, not like the actual 80s as they were.

So you were 8 years by the time 80s ended? Man you are credible.

2.) Tron.
This just proves you've never seen Tron.
Maybe you will try to give more examples that are not fail?

3.) Give it a fucking rest. It might be modern-ified, but the soundtrack is strongly reminiscent of movies like Terminator, Escape from New York, Blade Runner, RoboCop, Heavy Metal, and many others. The OST's on YouTube for anyone to hear.
The only thing in common those OSTs have is being electronic music.
Thankfully they were not made by a retard who found an arpeggiator button on his $50 softsynth.

It looks more like anime if anything

Skyway doesn't care. He's just here to bash because this shooter isn't a military photography simulator.

He's tiresome, but if everyone ignores his posts he'll still keep posting, they just won't be as distracting.

You can keep pretending that it has a sound of those movies, after all pretending is what hipsters do.

Tron didn't have electric blue, red, and green neon every which way?

Tron wasn't looking like a color puke. It was mostly blue neon too.

You're a delusional contrarian fuck pulling nonsense out of his ass.

Do you even realize how ironic it sounds?

ZOMG I'm a hipster who likes to pretend like Blood Dragon is a special game for special people like me how dare you to question me! I'm 80s expert even though I can't even name more than 1 movie that I read about on other hipster forums.

Okay, so let's do this the easy way, Skyway. You're 100% right. Have a lollipop.

Now can you please build a bridge and get the fuck over it?

Music is fine, the game is not.
Got bored after 40 minutes or so, then dropped, as did with original FC3.

Whatever the case, this game does one thing right: it has a shotgun that isn't criminally underwhelming to use.

Fuck this shit man, the game crashes and the saving system is terrible.

What a great combination.

Hey, that's nostalgic! Reminder of pirated cartridges and memory cards! Must buy!

Why does it seem the leaked, incomplete version was a lot more stable than the full release?

Got a problem, i can run the game maxed fine but regardless of settings the framerate randomly goes down to unplayable levels for like 30secs, anyone had a similar problem?
