To start things off, I want to do more of these "First Impressions" pieces, so look forward to more of those. I should be doing a Halo Wars one later today or tomorrow.Okay so onto what I think about it:
- Quite annoyed that all of us who enjoyed the game so much and got it on the first day were screwed over.
- I'm quite glad the achievements issue has now been fixed. For those of you who don't know, there was some problems with the achievements system on the first day this was released. The issue was that it hadn't been updated on whatever servers Microsoft uses. This means you unlocked the achievement, but it didn't show up on xbox.com or when you went to check it through the system. To make matters worse, you had to get the achievement again and recover your gamertag to reset the DLC's achievements if you wanted them.
- Some of the voice audio seems to be off. Seems like the mouth movements are starting up a bit late.
- The new power is alright but nothing quite new enough to add new game play elements or different thinking in anyway. It's essentially the Red power again but with a different cause to it.
- It is definitely harder.
- The achievements are much harder now as well. This rounds "don't be saved by Elika ___ number of times" is down to 20 which is crazy. So much quitting and reloading.
- 800 points for a game lasting under 2 hours? Maybe 4 at the most if you're slow or want to go from some achievements. And I can't see you needed more than 6 for the full 250 points and at that point, you're having no fun while grinding. Seems a little steep in price.
- The new enemy is definitely just a copy of the others. Even though they came up with a good reason in game for it, I still think they should have done a bit more work.
- Overall -- so far --I think there wasn't much effort put into this, which is sad.
