Played Mirror's Edge?

I liked the game even if I had to restart so many times because i clicked that little bit too late/soon. Also...why the hell do you STILL have a CRT? o.O

You are better than me. The pixel perfect jumping made me uninstall real quick.

Did you play it with a controller? My experience with Mirror's Edge was not that bad except for the combat mechanics. I have not tried it on PC so it might be more frustrating.

It did get a lot of good reviews and a sequel for the game will be released for next gen soon.

Edit: honestly, the story was not even spectacular, from what I heard people played it because of the freerunning gameplay.

Yeah i found myself frustrated with the same things, especially the checkpoints! spending half a day repeating the same thing over and over, dying earlier and earlier due to rage. Not a bad game but definately need ironing.

Weird...I didn't like the story but I loved the mechanics and the art...the only level I found a problem in was the second last level, in the bit with the scaffolding for the new mall you need to climb. Very frustrating too as the checkpoints were few and far between, so it felt like a conquest to beat it. Outside that, I never had a problem with the checkpoints. They were perfectly placed for me. I liked the bright colour scheme (running an LCD monitor so that's probably why it's not such a big deal for me), but the fact that Runner Vision bugged and only half the objects you needed to interact with turned red was very annoying.

what? nobody hated the game, where the hell did you get that impression from?

And no, I never had any of these troubles. My experience with the game was fantastic, I even finished the game without killing a single guy, the game's experience radically changes if you follow that path, game becomes FAR harder (I found it too easy by killing enemies).

I hate the guy who is shooting my back.

...someone told you to play the game for the story?

Get new friends.

it's good game but i agree its frustrating
especially the wall run

I played it for parcouring in 1st person- 2,5 times...and still have no idea of the story. Who told you to play it for the story xD

i played it on my iphone

The story was nothing special but i loved the free running and the mechanics and the art. What're your type of favorite games ? Name some.

People told you they liked it for the story? Weird. It doesn't have much of a story. It's one of my favorite games, and I love it for the nearly perfect gameplay. The only part that annoyed me was that they felt the need to include guns - guns just distract from the real gameplay, in this particular game.

Perfect positioning in order to make jumps? Didn't happen to me, I might have fallen off 2 or 3 times in the whole game. But I used keyboard and mouse, so maybe it's that.

played for 15mins and then deleted..not my type

I thought the game was very easy and the story was pretty boring. Overall, the game was okay but nothing special.

Funny, because I hated the character, the cutscenes were ugly in their animation style, and the gameplay was so fun, I always insta-skipped the cutscenes so that I could get back to the gameplay. TO THIS DAY Even though I've finished it, I don't have even the slightest idea about what the game was even about or why I was going to the places I was, who the bad guys were, why the were tryng to kill me, or why i was in the situation i was.... And I didn't care, the gameplay was so much fun, if I was going to complain about anything it would be that the story wasn't good enough, or delivered well enough, to grab me and make me care about it.

Never encountered any of the problems you mentioned, none of that stuff bothered me.

The story was a bit dull, but it's one of my favorite games all in all. I didn't really notice the checpoint system eing that flawed, I recall, although that was about 3 years ago, that it felt quite natural. But the reload time should be heavily reduced as it's pretty much a trial and error game.

yeah i didnt liked the game either.

I'm lovin the game so far, altho I find myself to be frustrated from the terrible combat mechanics and stuff. The art is awesome, jumps and gameplay as well and story is decent.

I don't know what kind of pixel-perfect jumping people are talking about here, because this wasn't the case for me at all.
The jumps aren't too hard.
Also, I never had any trouble with the checkpoint system.
Mirror's edge is probably one of the best games I have played this year.

for some idiotic reason, you can't change brightness and contrast without exiting from in-game, and then having to reload from the last checkpoint

Well that's strange, my game let me do it without having to shut it down.

Other than that, some of the checkpoints were indeed placed a bit strangely. Being there when there's really no need for one, and then having huge chunks of gameplay without a single checkpoint anywhere along the way.

I'm currently pretty much stuck on one bit that relies on you executing the silliest walljump in history. I'm just horrible at walljumping, period, so it's looking like I might have to just abandon the game, unless I feel like getting angry. It's a shame really, because everything else about the game has been enjoyable for me. :/

There are some problems when you jump from pipe to pipe on the building but all in all the game is very easy. I played through it three or four times, with keyboar+mouse and with gamepad, on different PCs (I guess three completely different builds) and never had any real problems aside from switched axis on my Logitech gamepad. One of my favorite games.

There were a couple of spots when I played through where the the character didn't seem to interact quite right with the environment, which were frustrating. Most of the game was fine though, and the checkpoints were always ok.
