I just finished playing

I only tryed the TDM and the CTF map

The TDM map is the best so far i guess , The map can be sniperish and very boring after 5 minutes. The clases are not well ballenced , i guess that Lancer is the best class i've used. The vehicles have the same control inside halo. Meaning you can't turn with the key , but with the mouse. The demo feature around 6 weapon (1 reviver and 1 melee weapon). The meelee weapon is a kind of plasma knife that can deliver ''little'' damage for a melee weapon.The grenade luncher thing explode on player's impact , insta kill.The sniper rifle take 2 shot , apart in the head of course , that is insta kill. The vehicles are well armoured. And respawn quickly.Both of them have minigun thing and a rocket luncher is placed on the biggest one.So far , the game is nothing about what i expected. The clases thing remind me of XMP, But XMP had spawn point.XMP DEMO is way better than Pariah DEMO imho. Pariah require a Real good video card. I don't had major lag with it. The loading time is very quick , that is the good point of this game. I can't blame the game yet , but i wanted it for SP playing only. I guess that Multiplayer Experience with Pariah is nothing compare to UT2004 and U2XMP. You realy want to have a better card than GFX 5200 128 MB , instead , it's almost a waste. I am about to delete the demo also.

The ctf map was kinda boring .There is alot of stuff , i don't even managed to know where the flag where .It's the first map i've tryed when i first played. The fps where terrible. I was on the lowest resolution with all to low. I can't really blame the game for that. It's all about MY Video card.

Alot of DRAMA , alot of ppl blame this game online , and that's getting anoying.

One thing I noted tooling around in that motorbike with the minigun attached, its fire spread is atrocious. Firing in short bursts is a must, else your shots go all over the place. One well placed grenade or rocket will own you long before you can gun someone down just holding down the mouse button.

I hope the SP is better than the MP demo.

oh, and the hud for the plasma rifle is fugly.

I knew you guys hyped it up too much. You all acted like it was the next big thing in FPS games but I always thought it just looked like a Halo clone with a bad framerate(on xbox at least).

What I'm really interested in is that STALKER game, though I'm not gonna hype it up because there's always a chance it can suck. (Devastation looked like an amazing game and when it actually came out it was like the worst game ever)

You guys? I personally have said nothing about this game, just posted news updates on other sites: previews, screenies, etc. It's no different to me than SWAT 4 or Chaos Theory. AFAIK, no one else was doing their news in a pimptacular fashion, and none of us have reviewed the game or demos as a news item, so I don't know where this accusation of hype came from. We're not responsible for the content of other people's news, but if there's someone here IN PARTICULAR who has been making these editorial additions to their posts, you might take it up with them. But I personally have no interest in "hyping" this or any other game that's not an Unreal title.

:edit: To be fair, I was a little baffled that it earned a screenshot gallery in the left column with the Unreal titles, but I didn't think too much of it at the time, simply because it was a DE title.

Another thing about Pariah MP demo

It must be a joke or something? 999 days trial? W.T.F?

Some bugs :

1- The game totaly crash sometimes when i play in AS-Survivor

Code: 
PH Build [2005.04.14.04.56]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 1806 MHz with 1023MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

AssaultSpawn AS-Survivor.AssaultSpawn0 (Function VehicleGame.AssaultSpawn.InheretVehicleSpawns:01A8) Assertion failed, line 100

History:

2- I know it's hard to tell but, the read team was controling that point, it was blue (just the icon , not the stastic meshe)

shot000007vd.jpg


3- Sometimes when i get on the passenger seat of the bigest vehicle of the demo , I get out without doing anything , for no reason.

EDIT: -4 if you are the admin and you switch teams , you will have the same skin.

=========================
If you want my oppinion , this Demo is really disapointing.

It's depressing as hell saying it, but Pariah is crap. I had lots of doubts, and was vocal about it in the past. The demo convinced me I was right. It'll be several months of constant patching before I'd consider it a passable FPS.

About STALKER, we used to cover it regularly at DAC but after all the delays and suspicious lack of any AI previews, the games true face was uncovered. It's an overhyped piece of vaporware where a bunch of Russian developers bit off more than they can chew. A playable demo was supposed to be released in February 2003. THQ, a company notorious for rushing titles out the door, submitted the game is too crappy to be released.

As PC gamers we don't have much to look forward to. Only messed up sequels. That's it. And maybe some hidden gems buried among the crap.

Just for the record I never hyped it, I merely want to test my rig and my broadband. And I don't know if I will even bother now since I bought WoW today.

No! Don't go to the dark side Toss! We'll lose you forever! :p
Getting on-topic, I'll pass on Pariah. It doesn't appeal to me, as a lot have said, a good gfx card is needed, and I'm only running an ATi Radeon 8500.

wow I'm glad I didn't waste time downloading the demo. After all of these reports I think I'll keep it that way. I'm going to agree with Twisted Metal here and say that it was seriously hyped WAY too much. Every screenshot I saw was "yeah, that's nice but it looks like everything else" never really interested me.

BTW what happened to Dark Sector or whatever that one DE game was?
