What do you think of Painkiller?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

I played the demo when it was first released, same with the second demo. Havent bought the game yet but plan to very soon. Sometimes pure shooting is really all ya need, I play Serious Sam and it was really fun playing co-op with a friend and was generally a great game but I do think painkiller is infinitely better. Anybody remember those areas of the game in SS where the floor was covered with ice? man I loved those . Oh yeah and for those of you talking about medicine Painkiller is the name of the melee weapon/ranged weapon/cutting laser in the game.

PS: I LOVE the fact that theres no monster or environment texture reusage. Makes the game feel alot longer and "funner", it contributes slightly to its replay value aswell. A game could have a million levels and touted as great replay value but its not much fun if every level looks the same getting stained with the blood of the same monsters over again right?

no, sw, I was not being sarcastic, but rather kidding with you. I just have noticed a lot of hockey comments by you and knew that you liked it. Thats all, no offence meant.

Yeah the box art sucks, some latino guy with a red background, seriously they should fire the guy who did that. It almost reminds me of all the incosistencies on the Freelancer box, which is a bad thing. The box art looks like its some budget game and the development team leader decided people would love to see him. Did you know the main characters name, Daniel Garner, in a rough hebrew translation means "Only God Can Judge Me"

PS: The latino part comes from the games website

I played the demo, and I thought it was extremely fun. Awesome graphics too. It's simple and it's fun and that's why I love it. That's also the reason I love Serious Sam as well.

Now, Serious Sam was a hoot. Music, graphics all good, but the best was the Quips from sam. Apon shooting a critter, "Didn't I just kick your a** two rooms back". He kept me laughing. "Look Ma, I'm a lumber jack"

Now that I've mentioned that game, I'll have to reinstall both Encounters. I love a good mindless shooter. Sometimes that's all you need.

I thought that this was a *Painkiller* thread, not a Serious Sam thread! I've never played Sam; is good, ja?

SS -Screenshots? I could take some but why? *Cough*Search engine!
