Gunman Demo

I finished playing through Gunman yesterday, after going on a 5 hour straight Gunmanning spree :) I thought the game was tons o' fun. It is a LOT like Half-Life, but that is a good thing. It was like reliving all the great times I had while playing through HL for the first time. Some of the levels are nothing spectacular, but towards the end of the game when you are running down a very realistic damaged underground laboratory corridor with the knowledge that a GIANT monster is rampantly tearing through the lab... you'll want to know the addresses of the level designers so you can give them a little tip.

The weapons are the lowest point of the game in my opinion, but even they ain't bad at all. The shotgun and machine gun weren't as useful as they could have been, but some of the weapons like the chemical gun is a lot of fun, since you can alter the Acid, Neutral, and Base levels of the chemical blob which you launch. Fun with chemistry! Also, being able to drive a tank down a desert canyon while blasting artillery to shreds is a lot of fun.

In my opinion, Gunman is way worth it. The storyline is really cool (with nods to system shock even, when you have to battle an insane AI which eventually forms a truce with you once you doom the moon on which it resides), and the in-game scripted sequences are abundant and very well made. I'd been waiting since Deus Ex for another refreshing, fun single player experience, and Gunman was it.

Bitch! ;)

100th Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW the Gunman demo has been released but I don't think anyone who posted on this thread noticed.

I got the game w/out trying the demo (WTF is a HL TC game doing with a 60 meg demo for fuck's sake?? Hello 1/2 that size will do nicely thank you.). I'm about 2/3 the way through maybe, and I quite like it, despite it playing very, very similar (read: "identical") to Half-Life. It's more of a partial conversion than total conversion, and yes it is standalone. There's nice maps and themes, a good variety in enemy from humans to properly weird monsters, it plays pretty well. But it extremely Half-Life and does show it's unrefined, unpolished origins as an amateur conversion...

This almost made me re-install Half Life.
How is everybody today? =)

Speaking of demos...

I saw Deus Ex for 9.99 and it was a limited edition... I looked around for the word demo but didnt see it...anyone know for sure? I wouldnt mind giving this game for X-Mas gifts...

In case you wanna find it, its in the rack with the other 9.99 games at Best Buy in a single jewel case...

Cool...just in time for my 11 day vacation from work which starts in....5 hours, 58 minutes, and 15 seconds!

Okay damnit, who's played this and is it any good? (I don't care about DM, just single player experience.)

0mg Buffy is about to *come* on. shiete where's my vcr gown?

-sol

if it's so ridiculous, go away. believe me, we won't miss you.

damn that tank was cool looking as well as operating

If he did pirate it, I guess the assumption is that people might try and bug him about where he got it from. A bit of a stretch, but it probably helps reassure the advertisers... :P

I finished the game looooooooong time ago :)

yay for gunman. i'd hoped they'd have a demo.

pup (so i don't drop $29.99 on it if it's crap)

yo, yo, yo,

Too little, too late.
