I don't play it because I can't jerky to the main protag. I am all in for Asians, but this chick looks like she got hit in the face with a book.

I replayed it a ton. There's a hidden gem of a game buried underneath all the bullshit. I had slight hopes for the sequel all for about half a second.

Take acid and play it. Music is great but you become hyper aware of how many damage triggers are in the game.

Game looks great but is completely linear, cutscenes look like something you'd see on newsgrounds circa 2005, and it's pretty damn short. Pretty fun gameplay but I haven't tried the sequel so I have no idea if it has a nice healthy load of pozz or not It probably does.

>>14803378

She's nothing special but consider she was probably the last western female game protag that wasn't made intentionally hideous

>>14803364

>>14803387

I forced my way through the sequel (I rented it). I wouldn't recommend it. Still load up the old one every once in a while though. I like the art style a lot in it.

>>14803364

I got back into it semi recently since it's fun to speedrun. kick glitching is fun and the out of bounds skips are cool.

>Game looks great but is completely linear

The second one is open world, buy it soggy kne- anon.

I wonder how an open world mirror's edge would turn without jews. I think it'd be shitty, but having a slightly more open path would be cool.

I kind of liked the cutscenes to be honest.

>>14803364

> do any yall replay mirrors edge sometimes?

I only tend to replay decent games, OP, not trash ones

>>14803364

Every time I see it I want to install it just for the challenges.

Parkour Fortress is better though :^)

I've finished Mirror's Edge about 2x now a few years back.

I don't think I'm ever gonna replay it soon because of how linear it is.

But, everytime it is posted, I have a slight feeling of wanting to play it again.

Maybe when I let my gf play it.

>>14803364

Shit game tbh.

>>14803364

I finished it once and that was enough. It's really nice visually, can't deny that.

I enjoy the soundtrack, but the controls are a pain in the ass unless you get a controller.

And it still did not even remotely deserve the bullshit they gave it in the form of a sequel. Poor Faith.

>>14804028

Open world wouldn't work because you want the levels/routes to be designed in a specific way that allows you to go FAST if you know what you're doing. An open world game can not afford this much love to the detail, or at least it would be a gigantic resource hog.

>>14803364

Yes, sometimes to speed run it

I think it's a damn shame it never got an Integral-style update or re-release where they just added a bunch more extra levels, or even a map maker. That's basically all I wanted, just more of what it had. The fact the 2nd couldn't live up to that is a sign of just how poorly you can manage a sequel. All they needed to do was add more of the same, and they had the stupid idea of adding different things.

Fun game, but it was too short and linear.

>>14803364

Yep, I still play ME1, it's still one of the best first person platformers to date. Wish there was a "remove guns" mod, but vanilla is still pretty chill and the aesthetics holds up well.

I'm probably in the minority, but I really really like how the original mirror's edge was done (minus the animated cutscenes). The chase sequences were fun and added urgency, the slower sections were chill, and the "tracks" based gameplay delivery was linear but focused; there's no unlocks or upgrades or "player investment" schemes, replaying a level was fun because it was enjoyable and self-contained, and you could shoot for faster times if you wanted. I got a few Jet Set vibes during my time playing, and I think the game would benefit from taking inspiration from Jet Set's method of having enemies in a parkour game. The only thing that was truly garbo was the combat, and I wish your interactions with the cops were more dynamic. The sequel fixed this, but the open world collectathon wasn't my thing.

>>14804757

>parkour fortress

unironically agreed to that. I especially like atmospheres in some levels. Also is there any parkour server that is still alive?

>>14803364

>Y'all

Coonspeak sounds really gross.

I do replay it sometimes. The linear level design is far superior to the open-world sequel. Sucks they took away guns too, I understand if they want to focus on running, but it's fun to do a "murder everyone" run. Also, the visuals are probably some of the best previous-gen from a design standpoint. It looks especially good with downsampling via GeDoSaTo or your drive settings.

Go back to your aids-infested, crime-ridden city.

I've played it a couple of times. What pissed me off was whenever I reached a point where suddenly the path forwards was unclear, the solution was always wallrunning. And I didn't like how the wallrunning worked.

>>14806082

>y'all was made by nigger all of a sudden

Are yankees this retarded?

I loved playing this game on percs after my car crash. All the white and the ambient music, the screen blurring at speed…

The thing I hated most about the game is that it starts out somewhat open, then bottlenecks itself shortly after. On top of that, it seems like it can't decide what it is.

I'M A PARKOUR SIM

NO I'M A PUZZLE PLATFORMER

>>14806082

y'all is the most queer gender friendly pronoun there is shitlord

>press X to do a back-flip + impossible jump + wall-walk

It's retarded QTE walking simulator.

It bogs my mind how people enjoy "playing" this kind of game, it's better to just watch a Let's Play, no difference at all.

>>14806456

>webm

Those are some super old strats.

>>14806479

>regular gameplay is a QTE now

Alright I bit.

>>14806539

>on-rails single-button-do-all is regular gameplay

Fucking millennials and their walking simulators.

>>14806585

>I haven't played the game but I'm going to talk out of my ass

I love it for being straight up desktop wallpaper pornography. its almost like an untextured deus ex human revolution in places. Shame about the sequel.

>>14803401

The sequel is the exact same thing with worse level design but better combat, story is also absolute dogshit.

>>14806616

Don't you see? All gameplay is QTEs. You know how in Zelda, Doom, DMC or [any other game you like], you have to press a key with the right timing to properly do an action? That's why they're QTE walking sims. If you time it right your attack comes out at the right time and hits the enemy, if you don't it doesn't. If you time the block/dodge right you avoid damage, and if you fail you get damaged.

What the retard that you're replying to doesn't understand is that if you keep muddying the definition of what a QTE is, you end up with the kind of bullshit I just typed above. Mirror's Edge has a lot of situations where you need to properly time a button press, but that doesn't make it a QTE any more than any other platformer is a QTE. Or any other action game for that matter.

Yeah I've probably put 100-150 hours into this game.

Red Sun Over Paradise (http://redsun.tf/) servers have PF in rotation, IIRC, but it’s not the primary game mode. Other than that I can’t say for sure, last time I checked there were some servers but the ping was pretty high for someone from Eastern Europe. Just use the server browser and filter the results by the map names starting with “pf_”.

>>14812072

There’s also some parkour.tf (http://www.parkour.tf/) server but it’s invite-only through disagreement, from what I understand.

>>14806659

Fucking retarded. There is not a unskipable 3 second animation every time you do a jump or a shield block in these games.

Besides there are freedom and gameplay depth, in this The Parkour Of Us what options you have in the fight part? Only "press X to disarm opponent", after that you just sit and watch the animation scene, great gameplay experience. The same to wall walking or every movement you do in this shit, press a button, wait 3 seconds to the animation end.

Don't compare this kind of shit to real games, probably you never played DooM or any real game for that matter.
