I've just heard of Nexuiz recently, though Steam, and I took a look at it since it was relatively cheap. However, my computer can't run anything more graphically impressive than Killing Floor, so I went to go try out the xbox trial instead. Only to find that I could not find a single game, and it wouldn't let me fight in the Bot mode because it was the trail. As such, I've only been able to refer to gameplay videos for how good it looks, without being able to play it. That, combined with the fact that I couldn't find a game, makes me a little wary of whether or not I should get this game. So, just a few questions.

1. How easy is it to find a game? On average, how long does it take to find a full game for each gamemode?
2. How's the community? Is it all 12 year olds trash talking, or some mature people?
3. Is it fun? I didn't get to play the game, so I don't have a real measure as to whether it will feel good to pick up and play. As far as FPS's go, I like Section 8, Half Life, original TF2, and Left 4 Dead. I also played the original Quake a while ago and found it to be pretty good.

Give these factors, is it worth $10, or should I wait to spend my MS points on Mass Effect 3 DLC?

It's the best 10 bucks I've ever spent on a video game.

With that said the game is experiencing a bunch of problems. You might want to just wait until the next patch is released. It's an awesome game, and the community is actually really good. With time it will definitely be worth it. If you do decide on purchasing, send me a F/R and message!


Oh and MM search times are usually pretty reasonable unless you like searching around 4 AM

Its Def worth it. If i were u i would play the demo first and see if u like it or not. But like chef said the game does have some issues but it is def fun. as for your question. during the day its easy to find a match around 4am and 7am not. as far as i know the community and players are really good ppl. and like chef said u can add me too.

Thanks Chef~ I've been looking through the 1.1 issues thread, and there do seem to be a few problems.... However, I'm kind of lucky when it comes to games and encountering bugs. I've played 200 hours of Skyrim, and have never encountered one bug. However, I think the main thing would be how long it takes to get a match. You said it was pretty quick, but could you be more specific? Like... seconds or minutes?

Also, Silent, I did try to play the demo, but I could not find a game (I guess there aren't many people playing the demo). So, I'm going solely off of word of mouth until I actually get it, if I do. Thanks~

usually a minute or 2 for a match.
in the demo...matchmaking only set you up with other demo players.
you buy it sets you up with others that bought.

atleast thats what i heard here.

Am surprise u havent problems find a match when playing the demo. there were lots of ppl playing before they divided them from the other players who bought the game. As to how long it takes to find a game its about 2-3 mins. but if ur playing around 4am-7am it takes a long time.

If u are into arena shooters and u like quake or unreal tournament games this game is for you. BTW if u want to know how the game plays out watch my vid

I know you will read a lot about the issues this game currently has, but do not let that deter you from getting this gem. First of all, its incredibly fun and frenetic. Second of all, the devs have been very much in touch with the community regarding the issues and they keep working hard to fix things. With that kind of support, from a small team who must be busy as hell no less, this game easily deserves a $10 chance. Even with all of the isues I've managed to have a great time playing this. If you have read my rants in other threads, just know that those posts were created after a particularly long stretch (4 days) of none of my points updating and I was stressed hard at the time. Things are working much better now, so take those previous posts for what they were...steam venting during a rough patch.

Anyway, to wrap it up, I'm impressed with the game itself, its fast, beastly and more fun than a lot of games I've payed $60 for. And the devs are obviously people who care about their game and care about our experiences playing it, they have shown a lot of backbone and paid a lot of attention to us through the tough times of dealing with the bugs. Caring support is so rare in any business these days, I feel it should definitely be noticed and lauded.

Okay, so, in case anyone cares, I did end up buying this game.

It's pretty awesome so far, I have a few problems with stats not updating, and this weird glitch where after hosts changed, I couldn't move.
Besides that, totally worth $10

yea that happes some times after the host quits and the stats not updating its something they are looking into.

If you don't care about stats and achievements the game is highly recommended by me.

[INFERNO]

Buy it !!!
