Just got this game for the PC. Its not bad, but the story line loses me sometimes. Anyone else try it?

I think the graphics are pretty good and the story is better than average. The AI is pretty good too.

anyone try scrapland??
its NOT multiplayer, but is made by same person who made ALICE.

i find the ai is pretty bad, so far i've had grenade guys shoot at me, run up and then side step; then they blow up due to the grenade they fired.

the gunners are predictable also; they always try to flank you with the shortest distance and do not reload smartly, or actually try to hide if you shoot them from a distance (i'm not a t-rex).

the weapon effects are nice, i think the game's gonna be fun for deathmatch.

You really think the AI is that bad? My understanding is that its the same AI used in Unreal Tournament since they use the same engine. Maybe I have low expectations lol.

i always compare ai against the rapier bot from quake (set paths, but actually smart enough to run for ammo, etc).

the ai's horrible; a friend played it for 15mins and said the same thing. he had figured out the side step pattern in 4mins and was simply walking thru the game like i was.

Well I must suck at gaming then, cause as far as I can tell the AI seems ok in this game. Maybe I just have low standards lol.

hehe, nah, i'm sure for the avg player it's great. i've just been a die hard quake fan since the first one. dm is all i do on a comp really.

i think it's a great/fun dm game. the weapons are pretty cool.

You know what, I just got the latest PC Gamer and they gave Pariah a 68% citing bad AI and a story that gets lost, so it sounds like you are right. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention to the AI and I should. I thought Doom3 was pretty easy, how does their AI compare with that of Pariah?

[k2]

well doom's a bit ironic; great engine but horrible execution of level design. i think quake4 will be the real benchmark for that engine.

Forget it...
Take tribes2, and add in Old Half life...
What a combo...and LOTS of mods..
