Finally got to playing it. It has been said before, the camera sucks (although there are like 6 different configurations, none makes me really happy without direct control), the controls need to get used to (although expected with this game) and the menu is annoying (although not Mass Effect menu annoying) Also the graphics could be a little bit nicer here and there and it's all a bit dark. But whatever.
With that out the way, OMGAWESOME! Didn't have that much fun with a demo for a looong long time. It's just pure fun. I mean, for those who haven't played it / didn't read about it, it's basically Diablo (oh gawd I usually hate it when this comparison comes up but I am a little hypcrite anyway and wth it IS a Diablo-game) with lasers and robots and swords and cyberspace, in a futuristic, and at the same time very mythical setting. It just works.
There are 5 classes, a skill tree, your inventory, runes, "magical" weapons & stuff, "spells" etc etc. Monsters (mostly some kind of robots it seems, look somewhat similar to Mass Effect, which is good) drop random loot, you get experience, and level up etc. But on top of it, it has this cyberspace interfaces where you solve puzzles which affect the real world (like in System Shock, only here the Cyberspace looks like a mythical place, where your hacking skills are reflected as actions within it. Take that ABXY Mass Effect)
Nice detail: You collect all stuff automatically if you are near it, and if your inventory is full, it drops the worst item and replaces it with the loot (can be switched off, too) I found a couple white stuff in the demo, some green items (probably the lowest form of "magical" items) and 2 items I could craft (by pressing A, don't know what I needed for that, but obviously I had it.)
Also I liked how I could shoot 2 pistols at different enemies each, while the rifle had a secondary function (grenade launcher), and how you could combo meele and range (hit with sword, throw enemy in the air, shoot to death for example)
I felt the demo was too short, but I saw in the menu, I have played straight for an hour. This looks definitely like a huge time sucker, especially since - did I mention it yet - it also has coop. (not in the demo though...)
if too long nuke, but since this a gamingsite I figured wtf

Unknown Worlds had previously licensed Source but are now making their own engine. I guess it's good that they can make something perfectly suited for their own needs and they don't have to shoehorn their stuff into someone else's engine. On the other hand, when my as-yet-unborn niece/nephew excitedly tells me about this game called Natural Selection 2 coming out, my wrists will be all arthritic and I won't be able to play :(
Actually they seem quite enthusiastic about this, so, good? We'll see what happens, I guess!

Yet everything I have read says that Leopard only does a 64bit install on Core2Duo Macs.

Seems like they've moved away from the SUPER ANIME #1 styling and stepped up the visual fidelity a lot to boot, looks really badass - stoked!

Is it possible to play through the games storyline by yourself by just using the AI henchmen? i'm not interested in doing any of the PVP stuff. I just want to know if I can expect to do all the "quests" own my own and get to whatever is the end of the main storyline.
And if so, does this hold true for the expansions as well?

I don't care about awesome sound quality. Comfort and durability matters more than that (no ear buds).
