What's a glyph? I never really look at anything behind the instruction manual.

Oh its some shiny card that comes with it, no-one knows if theres any point to them yet...probably just a collectors thing, theres supposed to be nine of them.

You should also read the comic that came with it, its pretty good

Ah. In that case, I have a dataDyne passcard of some sort.

What'd you get?

Karmillo · 01-13-2006, 09:09 PM

I got the same...I just realised theres some weird number on it

01-13-2006, 09:10 PM

Yeah. Probably nothing, though.

I've got nothing against cartoony looks. It's bad cartoony looks I don't like.

edit - better explain that... it looks like a poor Saturday morning show. Only occasionally it decides to look realistic, then suddenly you turn a corner, and it doesn't. It's poor design.

It probably would have been beter if the went for the style the comic that ame with it was done in, jack looked cool in that and he had a cool hairstyle.....in the game it looks like he just painted his hair on

Played a little of PDZ the other day, up till the third mission. The game is highly overhyped and is a very normal "been there done that" FPS. Graphics were okay, nothing that blew me away. I love cartoony graphics, but in this case, I didn't find PDZ's graphics that intriguing. It was the gameplay though which has been rehashed about 6,000,000 times. And I for once agree with SJH. If you are going to implement Stealth, either make a good version of it or don't even bother.

The only difficulty I had with enemies is that they don't frickin stand still, like a yoyo, so it makes it difficult to shoot them with the lower accuracy of the analog stick. It's a cheap way to implement an AI.
Overall, definitely not my cup of tea.

Cheers, SD, yeah, it's a badly made and designed game. Although it's worth noting it's more overhyped by the companies involved than the press, which gave it a lukewarm reception (bar one or two stupidly high marks as ever).

Wouldn't you jump around franticly if you were being shot at?

No, I would take cover
