"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Just do it.

Just don't pay more than like...$10 for it...maybe $15 new?

Amazing game. The graphics won't even get outdated too much because of the style. One of the most underplayed games released (I suppose it is quite niche).

[–]benjamindawg 5 points6 points ago

Get it.
Graphics actually blew my mind at how good they were.
And that was the first time I played through it this year.

It's only 10€ on steam, so go for it! Play it through without using a weapon.

Irrelevant story, exhilarating gameplay.

[–]PuSonLee 2 points3 points ago

Came here to say this. I've beat the game twice, and I can't tell you much about the story, because it wasn't too engaging. The gameplay, on the other hand, is freakin' brilliant. It's a load of fun to play.

The gameplay was amazing! too bad it didn't last very long

That's what she said.

I am so sorry. That just... It needed to happen.

It's awesome. It'll probably be like 2.50$ in the next steam holiday sale tho.

[–]jeppyjoh 5 points6 points ago

I really enjoyed Mirrors Edge. But the indoor levels really let the game down. You can get it for like $10, so why the hell not?

[–]devinhouse 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'll say what no one else is saying. The game is worth the price it is now, but it wasn't worth the $60 I payed for it on day one. Mirror's Edge starts out AMAZING, but kinda devolves away from it's original intent. I'd still say get it, even if you're just supporting interesting game ideas.

[–]G1az3d 1 point2 points ago

Do it. Play it. Come back and tell us how much you feel you missed out on.

I have downloaded it 12 times, and never played more than an hour. It gets old fast.

And by physx supported, they mean crashes when using physx supported.

[–]MrWendal 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, you should. You should also just say "I'm thinking about buying Mirror's Edge, any thoughts?" Instead of making us open a picture.

Its a really good game, I'd recommend you play it.

What is there to think about? Go get it already, it's awesome!

[–]doneddat 0 points1 point ago

It's good enough that I bought it after pirating it first.

That's pretty good rating I guess?

[–]Jack92 0 points1 point ago

You'll love playing through it...once.

[–]goodbye9hello10 0 points1 point ago

This game is absolutely amazing. Definitely a must buy. I can't emphasize how fun this game is. Just beating it over and over for all the acheivements is immensely fun. I myself beat it 5 times I think. As a rental too.

[–]jlzrd 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

God, yes. I must've clocked up about 30+ hours on it trying to perfect the numerous time trials. Such an exhilarating experience and there really is nothing like it, at least not at the time of launch. Just don't play it for the story, yeah?

[–]TheGuyNamedSpoon 0 points1 point ago

one of my favorite games of all time so, it goes without saying u should definitely get it.

[–]ArachnaTroll 0 points1 point ago

This will influence my decision too. I want to try it but have heard too many mixed reviews.

[–]always-mad-as-fuck 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's pretty short, but it's also cheap nowadays, and it's one of my favourite games of all time really. Such a unique style.

Worst case scenario? You waste ten bucks. Best case scenario? You have a fucking blast and enjoy every second of it.

[–]always-mad-as-fuck 0 points1 point ago

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes.

...yes.

Very much so: a tip top game! I saw it today in Cex on 360 for 3 QUID. Bargain at 20 notes!

[–]Apollo_Felix 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was a fun game. There have been reviews that come down hard on the controls, but I had less trouble than on most 3D platformers. The graphics are great. Beautiful views and nice color schemes really set the tone for the game.

[–]Tim_Kaiser 0 points1 point ago

Last couple of levels nearly gave me a goddamn ulcer. Great game, though.

[–]Akaradude 0 points1 point ago

Highly recommended, get it.

[–]wouldgillettemby 0 points1 point ago

Be sure to install it on your system instead of playing straight off the disk. Load times ruined the flow when I played it on the disk.

Other than that, you'll never play anything like it, which makes it worth checking out.

[–]rabidassbaboon 0 points1 point ago

I actually just started playing Mirror's Edge recently. It's a good game and certainly very unique but something with it just didn't click for me. I haven't necessarily walked away from the game forever but I've kinda lost interest for the moment. It's been thrown in my "I think I like it, I'm just not in the mood for that kind of game right now" pile along with Heavy Rain. Like most other people have said in here though, you can pick up the game at this point for 10-15 bucks. I'd recommend trying it out; it's not like it's a risky investment.

Even tho I played only for like 3 hours on a shitty pc, it was fun.

Deserves more praise, hope to see a sequel seeing how Dead Space got one.

DO IT! It is such a nice looking game and the gameplay is pretty fun. It's unique and that's not a bad thing.

[–]ElectricSeal 0 points1 point ago

Interesting game, but really it quickly becomes repetative. run over rooftop. jump over red thing. walk along ledge. go through door, run from cops, escape, wash rinse repeat.

it's a good 50 minutes, then you finish it and put it aside for the rest of your life.

maybe it's because i've spent a billion hours playing racing games, but after i've beaten a level in mirror's edge i go back to it and start shaving tenths of a second off my time. i might just be neurotic.
