War isn't much fun. That's something that may come as news to the millions that stalk Modern Warfare 2's maps until the early hours of each morning, their eyes bloodshot and their hearts racing at the pure thrill of it all. But it's a fact that was writ large throughout Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Codemasters' sim-heavy first-person shooter that launched a mere handful of months before Activision redefined the parameters of success for videogame blockbusters.
Green Man Gaming are yet again offering more than just a sale with a breadth of bundles to take your breath away! They released two games bundles featuring Codemasters and Digital Tribes. Also discounted are Thief, Thief : Master Thief Edition, Bioshock Infinite and Murdered Soul Suspect at 75% off.
Some mediocre - crap games there. Couldn't even include any Codemasters racing games? It's the only thing they're good at.
Even though it's still technically a good deal, the whole $5 or £4 thing annoys me. Humble bundle doesn't do this. No thanks.
You can pay what you want for Overlord, its Raising Hell DLC, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and Rise of the Argonauts. Paying $6 or more gets you Overlord II, DiRT Showdown, and DiRT 3.
Mobile & Apps: "One of the most underrated shooters of the previous generation was Operating Flashpoint: Red River for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With all its problems, I believe this is a game that is worth playing, however, it is not too hard to see why the game didn't quite kick off, as it should have."
Loved this game, it was dumbed down from Dragon Rising but still an enjoyable game. Was still offputting to people looking for instant/non stop action
Ha! Some colleagues and I are actually planning on hitting this one up tonight. Great game.
"Generally, the impression I get is that 90% of people that played the game loved it..."
Really now? Last time I checked, DR was a steaming pile of shit, no one liked it and Codemasters didn't give a crap about the game at all. Hell, they STILL haven't fixed the problems that plague the game!
What a fucking joke of a company. Go away Codemasters.
Not getting after first one and no real support or fixes to issues. Saving my money for devs that continue to support their game after release.
It looks good to me...
Operation Flashpoint: DR failed because 95% of the people that wanted a decent war sim already bought ARMA 2
This is going to fail again. They should make it a full-fledged simulator or stick with the casual FPS genre. They are trying to milk cash from two separate player bases, that takes a good concept and a very good game. I just don't see them pulling it off.
