Was wondering if anyone has tried the demo for Area 51 yet and what your thoughts were. I found it to be absolutely insanely rediculously hard as hell. It wasnt too bad until you got to the moon scene. I mean these guys are just furious and dont miss. im hoping that the demo is set on very hard mode and the retail version of the game will allow you to turn it down but if this is a look at what the game has to offer then count me out.
I DONT MIND A CHALLENGE but
if i cant even make it through a demo then they can keep the game.
With a online price of 29.99 at EBGames then i forsee it being a flop

Based on the Xcrement Box review on gamespot.com, I probably won't waste my money. I'm always skeptical about games that have alot of advertising dollars behind them because each project has a budget, and in many cases the marketing dollars could have been used for making the game better.

Gee, really? Ya think? Maybe that's why I said "based on the X box review" since that is the only version available, hence the only review available right now.

i dont need to pm you, im saying he was talking about the computer game(which you understood obviously) so why would you friggin even bring the xbox version into the thread? im pretty sure he was saying he played the demo on his <i>computer</i>. so again the question is what does the xbox review have to do with it?

thats nonsensical.

now if you have a problem comprehending that; blow me. :tongue:

Yeah, I have no idea why I would read an Xbox review of Area 51 in hopes it would give me an idea of what to expect for the PC version, I must be insane or something. I should have known that they are 2 totally different games, how silly of me. First you call me *flamebait, then you say *blow me, all because your reading comprehension hovers around the 2nd grade level, nice job!

Reply to lonelypauly

thank you i thought i only had a first grade reading level;

what you are trying to say that gameplay is the same on a PC as on a Xbox/Ps2/GC???


<i>ediT:</i>btw i called you flamebait becuase you seem to trash xbox360 any chance you get no matter what the original topic is about; such as one would who constantly wants to start an argument about an xbox(xcrementbox, whatever the hell you think is funny) i could care less, i just see you as silly because the systems arent even out yet and while the ps3 will be superior hardware wise theres no way you can really tell which would be better :wink: but do what you do, flame on. heheh

I must admit, you got me there...damn, why didn't I think of that!? You have discovered my Achilles heel! I know when I've been out-smarted, so I shall crawl back under my hole, emotionally devastated and completely humiliated. Who knows if I will ever recover from such a brutal text-based melee as has been launched so unforgivingly by PhukFace. Please show mercy upon me sire, I beg of you!

Actually my complaints are, the demo ended toooooooo soon, and from graphics such as FarCry this game is kinda pale in comparison so you shouldn't need even a mid level gaming machine to play the thing.

[insanely ridiculously hard as hell]???????????????????????????????, I don't get where you're coming from there, its really not hard at all unless you just run into the game guns blazing, you're guaranteed to get blown away quick that way, I'm hoping the game itself will be a lot tougher than the demo, maybe you should give it another chance.

Well i did find it hard as hell and no i didnt go guns ablazing.
As soon as i went up the elevator and went on to the so called moon set, no matter what i tried, they just mowed me down from everywhere. tried hiding behind the elevator, tried flanking them, tried what i could think of but they just whooped my ass. There accuracy was just amazing to me and made me think it was set on hard mode.Im just an average gamer, not an expert so it's harder for me than others.
Maybe i'll try it again, who knows

Get off the elevator turn right and right again go down beside the elevator look to the left theres a room with health power ups and mutagen power ups, the first 4 or 5 enemies you will need to shoot from inside the room, [Blow the glass out of the walls to get a clear firing line and stay to the right inside the room facing out], stay in the room close to the power ups and if your life gets low grab a power up, I wiped out the first wave of them by firing the mutagen power, press the X to enable the mutagen powers. The mutagen power is pretty impressive it will destroy 2 or 3 at once, make sure you kill everyone of them that comes after you before you go back outside the room, theres about 8 more to deal with 2 are snipers up on the catwalk, but its a piece of cake from there.
