Blacksite - Area 51

Post by AlexSecura »

Yesterday i bought Blacksite - Area 51

Heres my Review:

1.The Game has nothing to do with Area51.The Locations are only in the Desert and the way to a City called Rachel and some Military Facilitys but you dont go inside Area51 and you wont see it ingame.
2.It contains massive consumer advertisings like Alienware and Midway,Burger King
3.For me it looks that the Game never would be beta tested.
3.1. it contains pleanty of Glitches,Wallhacks,GhostShadows and yery silly Death Body Positions.
4.No Antialising available.(so you will see -Stairs- ingame) This option exists in the GameOptions but isnt available.
5.Game Lenght is a max of 6 Hours.My X-fire showed me 5 Hours.
6.The Graphic is boring despite of Unreal and Havok Technology.
7.Boring Gameplay.

Here some Screens,the best i could make. :D

Rating:
I give it 4/10 due to some cool places (Rachel City Arrival and EndingLevel)
Overall
Boring :sleep:

Cannot give a good reference to this Game.Im really bored to spend 49€ in it.Need to sell it soon on ebay. :(
So i advise to not buy it.

Please leave a comand if you want.
Cheers.

My brother got the game and after he had his 10 minutes of whining about it, I played. It is a little better than you say (like maybe 4/1), but not worth $50. More like 20.

The lead game producer can be quoted saying that this project went from Alpha working version directly into the final game.

Thats looks really like it.Thats a Alpha Version :mrgreen:
it requires 15 GB for Diskspace same like Gears of War but this Games is such a huge Diskspace worth.For example Bioshock needs circa 8 GB and looks 1000 Times better than this crap Game.
I dont want to say that it dont have some good parts ingame but overall its a total Flop.

Sorry,i could explode and bite me in my A...( or in Noa`S, look at the last Screen xD^^ ) ,that i bought this game.

thats only my Oppinion.

Like i said if you begin to play you will be overun from all kinds of Bugs and this isnt much a good promotion of a brand new game .they know why the released 2 patches.One before release of Blacksite and one 1 weeks after. :wink:
The baddest of them for me is to see -stairs- en mass in Objects like buildings and cars due to missing Antialising Options .Could be possible that it is available in the US Version.
If someone plays normaly with low Specs than this game is good for them.
The rainy Street covering looks like liquid metal.
The Gameplay is easy,you need to command some Troops through the hole Game.if one dies the moral decreases from the others but you can reanimate him or wait if all necessary Aliens in this Area are killed then he woke up from alone.
Some Objects are destroyable mostly cars and Barrels but after destroying they look cheesy.Ha ha they look undestroyed cheesy,too

i gave it to my best friend,he said the same,the graphic isnt really good in Best Settings and the Aliens doesnt look good .Nothing new in the Game.
Before i went to buy it i watched many Vids on Youtube and thought its awesome but it isnt.

Think im too much spoiled from other Games like Bioshock,Crysis or Timeshift which really look much better.
Blacksite is not the baddest Game i played.The crappyest Game i ever played was Vivisector.A russian egoshooter
