Did anybody here already played Devastation? Not the multiplayer demo, but the single player real game. What's your impressions?

I brought Devastation, and it's crap crap crap crap. Looks shocking and is so derivative it's painful.

Mmm, I didn't find a single player demo. I'll search a little more and try it, considering your points.

Save yourself the download. I played it and wanted to choke someone.. I got to control panel->add remove programs as soon as I exited. They should have spent about 3 more months.. they might have made a good game.-Tim

Tim, are you talking mostly about bugs, graphics or what? What was the worse thing you saw?

2. The Enemy AI is HORRIBLE. You can stand like 10 feet from an enemy, he is in plain sight but does not see you at all. If he is a bit further away and you shoot at him, he will run to the left or right a few steps then run back to where he was. You can stop shooting them and run backwards and a lot of the times the enemy AI will stop firing and just stand still even though they can plainly still see you.
3. The Friendly AI is horrible. They never advance far enough. They will every now and then advance far enough for the front two of them to engage in combat. If they walk into a room with a turret they try to run and lots of time cant get out of the room and just stand there and get killed. I saw one of them one time shooting madly at the wall, even though enemies were no where near him. I was shot in the back a LOT by my teammates.
4. You use the katana and the enemy falls over and you see a swipe of the blade. The weapons, assuming you hit somoene with them, take forever to kill someone with the exception of a few weapons which kill very easily. Putting it on realistic combat mode helps a bit but its still not realistic by any means.
5. Sometimes you'll shoot someone and itll go through them and not damage them.
6. The Physics system is horrible. YOu can barely tap a barrel or box and it slams against the wall bouncing back and shoving you across the room. Everything is super sensitive like that.
7. Back to the weapons, some of the scopes are soo blurry that you can use the weapon without zooming in easier (see laser rifle)
That's All I can think of right now.. I'm sure there was more.

This seemed like the best place to post this as it's indeed pure maddening devistation (just like the way this game sounds ;). I've sent you messages to your email twice now and they refuse to deliver. Might be a good time to look into a new email service :P
I recieved both of your messages from the same address, so it must be a recieving error on your host's part, the reason given is "Unknown Error". Kinda freaky eh?
Anywho, if you like I'll just post what I was trying to send you here on the forums if you'd like :D
(No appologies for the off-topic post besides, it seemed it needed a worthy subject of discussion anyways! j/k ;)

Shadows buggy as hell, and the enemys behavior was not very good.
