The Ship

Has anyone played this? It looks and sounds pretty cool. I'm considering giving it a try.

It's the gameplay that's intriguing, check it out.

Interesting.

That actually sounds pretty cool! Didn't notice a trial version unfortunately :( I might bite though :D

It's pretty cool, actually. You need to hunt your victim, while you are being hunted. But you also need to sleep, eat, shower, etc. It's pretty fun. Especially, when you kill some one with an false arm. It still a bit buggy tho.

the concept is definately interesting. i could see this being very fun. will have to see how its actually pulled off. it could be horrible as well. but i like the premise.

thanks for putting it out there. i hadnt heard of it.

I guess, you could call it a FPS/Sims/Murder game.

sounds like a game of Clue in a way..... I think Atomicbob did it with the prostetic(sp) arm in the kitchen.

I may have to try it out but probably wait till some more of yall give it a good reveiw.

I'd wait until a few more of the bugs get worked out. But I'll say this. The maps are huge.

I bought and played it for a little while. The game is hard, or at least I thought so. Everytime I found the mark, there were always people hanging around, so I couldn't take care of business. I did get to wack someone at one point, but was caught and ended up in Jail.

It's a pretty cool game, though.

Oh yeah, and the game could do without the doing a #2 sound effects.

This game is a lot of fun once you get used to it. Getting used to it is pretty fun too. The hardest part for me when I first played was finding my way around the ships, but once I switched the deckplan bind to something closer to WASD, it was a lot easier.

And here's a tip: pay attention to the Weapon List (default M). You get paid differently depending on what weapon you use. A lot of people just grab a fire axe and only get $100 for a kill.

I just can't believe steam is charging us for a mod.

The developers of the game are charging, not steam/valve. The reason is that it's a stand alone game -- You don't need HL2 to run it, so I'm sure there's some licensing costs involved.

Also, at some point, it will contain a Single-Player campaign.

[papasan9]

I'll try it again later this week. The only thing that annoyed me was..

"Error Name killed Error Name"

"Error Name killed Error Name"

I was on a server this weekend where that was fixed.

I like it. I can't play it for long periods of time, but I really like the thought and stealth involved in the game play. At $20.00, it's not a bad choice for playing something different.
