Rather wait for this to be in the sales or bargain bin. It looks pretty, but sure are shitty.

So what's wrong with it exactly? And did you pirate it?

I did download it and thank god I did. I would have been pissed if I paid almost 40 usd for this. Of course my whole argument turns shit because I did this, right? I mean I can already feel the master race disapproval
Nonetheless, I might revisit it when its around the 5 usd mark (or part of some bundle) which like painkiller HD is the correct pricing this level of product. You are more than welcome to buy it and report back, it is after all my opinion, but I say its shit.
1) Comebacks are really really lame and annoying.
2) Its just boring. I tried, but after chapter 2 no more.
3) Invisible barriers, compared to old shadow warrior at least you could jump around and over to a degree.
4) Too much cheese. just too much cheese. Again previous one didn't have this much cheese in it.
5) Shogun (TW/CA) copy and paste SFX, eish. GONG... load begin GONG, enter open GONG. Please no more of that GONG or string thing, it was cute once and it has now passed.
6) MORTAL KOMBAT !!!!!!!!!! back back forward LMB... back back forward RMB !!!!!!!! Ek gaan jou opfok met my combos. LOL. I'd rather just play MK. Really.
Only good thing I did like was engine. It is really good looking and runs well, but that was the only thing going for it so far. Mooi van vêr en vêr van mooi.
If I have to choose between this, painkiller HD and Rise of the triad I'm going with Rise of the triad and give another emo dante a pass... so there you have take it, leave it, break it or flame it.
* poof off to FF14 *

If it's really that bad I'll probably give it a skip entirely, but I'll wait for some more reviews and opinions. I rarely buy games at their full price anymore anyway.

I was just asking because I saw it on your wishlist in Steam, no need to get defensive

I also downloaded this (will buy it as soon as I can get a physical copy) and I completely disagree with Blind Faith. It's fucking awesome!!! I never played the original, so I can't really compare, but this is a lot of fun for me. Love the katana, works well for a FPS, and the upgrade system is really cool as well. I haven't played that far yet, finished Chapter 2, but I'll be playing some more tonight.
I actually really like how they've implemented the katana special attacks and combo's (up, up, RT, etc. - playing with X360 controller) It's something different and it works really well IMO.
I have the new Rise of the Triad, Serious Sam 3, Hard Reset and Painkiller HD and out of all of them Shadow Warrior is the best IMO. It's currently sitting on a Metacritic user score of 8.4 so I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes it. To each his own though ...
If I had a credit card I might have bought it on Steam, but something that I like this much after only a few minutes of play I want a physical copy.

Its the pent up emotions of waiting for it and not being happy with it.I was just asking because I saw it on your wishlist in Steam, no need to get defensive
Mediocre at best
O well I'm not sure what I wanted out of it, but it doesn't do it for me... Glad you like it

I doubt that, I would count myself very much still at old school shooter from doom or wolfenstein upwards. Hec we used to d!match on serial, parallel, coaxial and so on. I played SW to death when it came out, I replayed it with the HD packs and this iteration is nothing like the original and perhaps that is why I call it shit. It is a very timid version of what was...
If you put the recent remastered side by side then SS HD is the closest to what its predecessors was. Next up would be Rise of the triad followed by PK HD. SW "2013" when I think of SW as it was is what DmC is to DMC.
Meta critic is hardly a standard to go by to know if a game is good or not, it can give you an idea, but a quick look over there I saw a few of them being their first review and magically giving it an 8 something out of 10 where as there was at least one person that had 30+ reviews. If you look at the critic there is 7 where as one of them I would go by and skip the rest, being Escapist Magzine. Its been proven time and time again that MC is being used by the publishers to make them look good instead of what it was intended for.
If you ask me now what I would recommended from those times for someone who'd like to play some old school I would say PK:BE without a second thought. Why? Because its very close to real old school twitch shooters and if you really wanted to know d!match like we did then go play quake, quake3 and of course unreal and unreal 2004.
I mean... really. The recent and more proper [modern] shooter I played and liked was FEAR. I do like shooters, fuck that's what I've grown up with part RTS and Quests. I do like remakes, but sometimes some things needs to stay put in that time where it was great. In fact if you want modern shooters to be better then perhaps we should stop supporting the beast we are so tired of, but we don't. Each iteration of COD/MW we gladly buy. Each iteration of sequel we gladly buy and so on. Only idiots we can thank is our selves, we created this hyberbol of kak we are seeing now.
Obviously not every IP out there is crap, but we sure do have a lot of it thanks to ourselves.
Its not funny then that my library of indies keeps on growing when the other well known IPs are getting less and less love.
THE END.

Valid points I suppose, but this game was never marketed as a remake or re-imagining of the original Shadow Warrior AFAIK. They basically took (a younger version of) the same main character, same setting and elements of the original story (from what I can tell) and based a new game around those. I think Flying Wild Hog did an awesome throwback to old-school shooters by making a "modern" old-school shooter.
I'm also an old-school shooter fan, grew up with wolfenstein, quake, doom, unreal, etc. and I'm still really enjoying the new SW.

Perhaps at a later stage I should retry it with a controller and not the keyboad, cause this DD LMB and DD RMB really isn't on when you use WASD.
