Wow, sounds like this game has really taken off! I wonder if it has longevity in it????

In any case I will try my best to get a copy before next Thursday!!!

I really want this game, but it may end up just being a rental for me.

I'm not sure how long the destructible environment gimmick can last for me, but doing so in the demo was fun as hell. Ill check it out for sure but can't decide if this game warrants a purchase or not. Maybe when its about 30 bucks ill bite.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the destruction isn't just a gimmick, it is really great and is integrated into the game very nicely!

Good games again metaly!

Anyone who's awake after midnight PST needs to get in on some late night red faction games with us!

You too, fizzywix. This game is nuts.

And yeah, the destruction is definitely not a gimmick. It's like half of the whole game, but it does take a little time to wrap your head around that. In a game yesterday there was this annoying sniper way up in a tower on the snow map and I was frustrated because I had no way to get up there. Then I realized I could just smash the tower supports with my hammer, so I did that and the whole thing collapsed and he died. It's also really cool looking around at the end of a round and noticing most of the map has been destroyed.

Also I got the thermobaric rocket for the first time tonight and We should do a Demolition round where everyone has those and infinite ammo just for laughs.

Volition has a serious merchandising opportunity here.

I didn't mean gimmick per say, but that's kind of what I meant metaly. The game is based around the destructible environments, I don't know if it would stay fun for me the entire game or if I would get bored with it. I don't want to pick it up and get bored half way through. I'm not sure that I would, but its just a mild concern of mine.

Maybe I can take advantage of that FNR4 deal at EB and trade it back for Red Faction.

You mean there's two kinds of rockets... o.o
I need to finish up Ghostbusters so I can do some SP in this game and learn about the weapons. Or just look them up online.

Running around with the stealth backpack and the hammer is ridiculously fun! It's like a game of whack-a-mole with a ninja twist.

I'm not sure why but I'm not really drawn into the single player experience as much as I thought I would be. I liberated Parker, and I'm probably a third of the way done in Dust yet it feels like I haven't "accomplished" much. I guess I've been listening to Cheapy and Wombat's podcast a bit too much.

RF:G is $50 at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy this week. Buy it, goddammit!

hey are you making fun of me?

I just picked this up from Best Buy. Is there any chance we could have a second night a bit earlier in the week or start the Thursday one a bit earlier in the evening?

A lot of us will play during the week, I usually will see metaly, DD83, or Randy playing it at any given time.

This probably doesn't help you but in case there are any late night players lurking, fizzywix and I have been doing the night shift with a few random guys from around midnight to 3 AM Pacific. I'm sure that will change during the week but anyone who wants to get in a few rounds should look for us.

Yeah, here's a tip, don't run into Tenchi and his people...They are all basically maxed out on rank already.

Condor and I just got stomped in a siege match, though having some guy on our own team destroy the buildings we were defending didn't help much either. It just made the inevitable loss happen faster.

Of course not! I remember being totally stumped by that XMB invite thing the first time I had to use it, too.

I'm happy you were able to hop on with us, even if it was only for one match.

I think I'll mosey over to Best Buy and pick this up on Tuesday. It better be as good as you guys make it sound out to be.

I will try to add some of you to my list tonight, in hopes of finding you in the game. Please keep an eye out for the requests.

Holy crap...you can win a Red Faction sledgehammer by composing a poem about the game and posting it on Twitter!

Details here.

Picture here:

Sounds neat, but alas, it looks like it's made out of butter.

lol, yeah, that was crazy. 2 against 6, we couldn't even leave our spawn. Was that a coincidence running into him?

I'll try to join you guys on Thursday, but I don't know if I can squeeze in another game night after Socom. I'll probably be on tonight after 7pm est for a couple of hours if anybody wants to join.

Oh and I just rented the game, so I'll only have it for a month till I have to return it, or re-rent it.
