Vanquish

It's not a bad game, but it's meh at most, even considering it's old now. The gameplay is OK, story is run-of-the-mill. Only 6.5h to beat it at a slow pace, that's not a lot. My biggest pain is that the gameplay is cluttered in cutscenes every few minutes, so much that it's annoying, like "just let me play the damn game"... Many of these cutscenes could as well be executed without taking control away from the player. Even the visor radio sequences are really masqueraded cutscenes as you can't do anything besides walking very slowly.

QTE is bugged or something. Can't smash E any faster or X on controller. Cool game, but I looked it up and the only advice was hardware issue. Super goofy that the prompt to press E or X lights up blue when you hit the button but the loading circle doesn't change at all. I can't even change settings in this sequence or after I die, I have to restart the whole train scene. Maybe I'll pick the game up again, but I'd rather not have to look up guides for a janky QTE.

Amazing Game I bought it Today and I played 5 hours Straight ! Why dont they make games like anymore?

Siempre quise probar este juego al ser uno de los juegos favoritos de uno de mis amigos de siempre. Me alegra decir que cumplió mi expectativa. El valor del juego para mí es que cuando salió, era una época en la que Modern Warfare nos tenía encerrados en pasillos y detrás de coberturas. Sin embargo, Vanquish ofrece una movilidad precisa y una jugabilidad espectacular; sello de PlatinumGames, que más adelante se pondría de moda en la jugabilidad de los TPS de la 8ª generación como Sunset Overdrive o Uncharted 4. Lo malo para mí es a nivel de historia ya que no se toma en serio pero bueno, no deja de ser la excusa para que tengamos un motivo para hacer cosas y hay algunos detalles que me parecen "anticuados". Merece la pena y es sobre todo divertido y satisfactorio.

This game has been an iconic underrated gem over the years, and i understand why. Gameplay is really fun, it really drives your desire to just run into things and shoot, and it gives you enough room to get good at it and experiment new things, if you like third-person shooters and never played this then this should be a must experience for you. Story is corny and visuals have aged, you can tell the 2010 were edgy times, but in the charm that comes with the flavor of corny badass heroes with guns, the game style just shines through. "Nothing like a smoke to remind you that you are alive"

This is a silly gratuitous scifi action B movie in video game form! It is plenty of fun, and not too challenging. Unfortunately it has several VSYNC/Framerate related bugs where enemies don't spawn or quick time events don't play out properly and you have to muck with those settings to get it moving again (google it if you are inexplicably stuck with no spawns or seemingly impossible quicktimes - probably it is a bug and you will need to turn VSYNC on or off to get it going). And yeah - I could do without the insta-fail quicktimes, though when not bugging they aren't too demanding. Still, I hate watching the same cutscene repeatedly even if it is only for a moment or two. Personal quirk and pet peeve. Everyone else would probably be fine. The FIRST credits scene is kinda cool and original and interactive. The SECOND credits scene is the same names from the first but now traditional slow scrolling and unskippable! Yeesh. Twice? They REALLY wan't you to see their credits apparently. Anyway, good fun for a little while, with some mildy annoying buys and quirks. Get it on a bit of a discount.
