It's tough to pinpoint the worst trait of Turning Point. You could go with its stupid reimagining of World War II, painfully linear level design, sloppy player movement that finds your character constantly hung up on objects while moving through the boring environments, terrible iron sights that tend to block out your target, the broken clipping that has soldiers falling through walls, or the brain-dead AI that sometimes fails to register your presence. It's a veritable cornucopia of suckitude only useable as a torture method by the CIA to extract important information from gamers.
It’s time to wander through the Game Graveyard. A haunting, foggy location in which overlooked and forgotten video games rot under the murky surface of the earth. Unmarked tombstones litter the landscape and the tears of developers that once floated upon the air are now just dissonant wails in the distance.
Not all First Person Shooters will go do in history as a legend. What about the shooters that didn’t quite hit the mark? The hidden gems or the forgotten ‘next big thing’ which didn’t even turn out to be a small thing? Or perhaps the first-person shooter that was so damned awful that everybody tried to forget it exists?
HAZE = LMAO
Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason = This was a nice game. The water Physics, over all physics, and eye candy were TOP NOTCH thus the high system requirements. Nice pick up for those who couldn't run it on Ultra back in the day.
Project: Snowblind was a pretty awesome game that never got the love it deserved.
Oh, come on... Some of these are good. XIII, Cryostasis, and NOLF are my favorites on here. Nobody forgot NOLF though. Huge fan base for the two original titles!
But then we see Haze and Legendary. Seriously? Legendary is horrible! No gamer would say otherwise. It's just trash.
Shawn Long of GAMINGtruth.com takes a look at yet another game that had potential to be great, but just fell flat on it's face.
I remember being excited before booting up this game's demo. I had hoped, like you, that the creators would live up to the story. Sadly, it just didn't happen.
Man, when this came out, I was dying for it to be awesome!
Sadly, that wasn't the case. Great article!
Wow, I knew this game would suck and be worse than Conflict Denied Ops but wow... 3/10 from GI!?
Hour of Victory 2!
I suppose it had to happen someday. A 360 game getting a 3/10. Still nowhere near as bad as Lair though.
This is what happens when you develop exclusively for XBOX 360. Another run of the mill garbage shooter that receives low reviews. With XBOX 360 enduring a sharp decline, the quality of the games have started to show it's ugly head with bland, and uninteresting shooters. Because of their inability to make decent games on a consistent basis, Xbox 360 is considered to be the joke of the industry.
If it was anything like the demo it felt like a cheap budget game. Nobody seems to know how to do much with the UT3 engine other then Epic...
Can someone bring out a game where you can play through WW2 as the Nazis? I know it's risky but it would at least be something different.
is that regardless of how bad it will suck, they will all still sell well. If you think I'm wrong, just look at Kane and Lynch.
I dont understand how games like zach and wiki, project gotham racing, and ratchet and clank struggled to get to their million. Yet these sub par games like turning point and kane and lynch get sold so well.
It's almost as if talent and quality don't mean much in the gaming industry anymore.
