Transformers: War for Cybertron

For PC. I might actually play it now after getting used to the idea of War from Within type characters after reading tons of TF comics last night.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work in Eyefinity for multiple monitors ATM. I'll probably mute the music and play the 1986 Transformers movie soundtrack over top of it.

Bought the game in Vegas, just got home today. Getting X-Box live sooner than later.

Got this game today mostly because I have friends who wanted me to play with them.

Took me about an hour to get used to it, but now that I've played it for a couple hours - HOLY CRAP IS IT FUN.

I feel 10 years old again!

No Frank Welker means I can't enjoy playing Megatron. Also, what's with all the machine guns. There's no classic Transforming sound. The Decepticon weapons should only have the classic sound effect too. Maybe I can replace all the game resources if I'm clever but I'm probably not clever enough. Otherwise, I'm not enjoying it very much, it's better with the old soundtrack on it rather than the uninspired orchestral subdued music and jungle drums.

"Why, back in my day things were better! Less garbage, everyone was happy and everything had a glossy sheen!"

You harp so hard on some of this small stuff but miss the little things like having Jetfire and Starscream working together, or having the narrator mimic Victor Caroli.

Game is fantastic.

I am not just nit-picking for the sake of nitpicking It really is unbearably unenjoyable for me almost every second I played (I played Decepticon campaign for about an hour) but that is my nature. I rarely enjoy things unless they are exactly the way I want them to be. I guess that is also why I am a PC gamer, because I have always modded/hacked the heck out of all the games I am able to get into.

The guns have no oomph, they have no sound to make me feel like I am firing a fusion cannon. When I Transform, I don't feel like they are Transforming. None of that stuff is there and it bugs me every moment I am playing.

I am really regretting the purchase and you can't resell Steam games. Character designs are pretty ugly. The Unreal engine is pretty ugly too. Everything is just badly textured gray metal with some color highlights.

I'm not totally against new things. I just read all of IDW's run and I really enjoyed Don and Guido's artwork. They really get what it means to homage G1 and stay true to the things that are neccessary to stay true to while adding their own touches and modernizations but everything is still recognizable. He's even sold me on the new movie concept of mechanical faces which I used to hate. I don't really care about Jetfire and Starscream working together as I'm not a stickler for continuity or storyline (and hence, the IDW reboot is accepted easily) since honestly...the cartoon and the comic in the 80s were bad and cheesy in terms of story anyway. It's all about picture and sound.

Maybe that's because you're living in the 80's and the world has moved on. I do agree with the sounds, I like the new ones, but the old effects would have been cool too.

The cartoon was cheesy, the comic was not. Especially not the UK comic.
