So, it looks like the PC version is actually a 360 dev build. Apparently pressing 'Y' in-game turns on noclip by default. Whoops.

They say it will be fixed today, but man - that's a pretty big screw-up.

well after reading the reviews the game seems to be more console base than pc.

The game is very smooth. The current version has tons of dev features beyond no clip. It's also a full dev client. It has coding for 360, Playstation, and PC. The game itself is very fun. It plays nearly to borderland. It's like border lands got slammed into far cry then they turned everything into zombies. Def not a sloppy console port.

Let me know if you do. Some money figuring has shown me I could probably swing it.

A lot of people are saying the engine used for this game is very crappy and ugly. I'm finding the environment to be very beautiful and the vegetation looks amazing. Only complaint (and not sure if this is engine based or not) are the environment physics. Destruction is very common in games these days and this game has very little. You can't hit walls and it seems only chairs and beach balls can be hit/kicked and they react strangely. But damn, the palm trees in this game look amazing.

I've read a lot of bad about this game today. I think I'll be holding off for a while.
It's a long hard road coming to recover from World of Warcrack, but I hope you'll help me bare the load while I travel that road.

It's been a very polarizing game. Some love it, some hate it.

My other thing too with this game is I think I'd want to find three other people to play the game with me, as if it's like Borderlands it's a one-time play really, and doing it SP when there's a decent looking MP option would be a waste.

I'm finding a lot of this game to be just like borderlands. I'm even afraid of beating the game because they final boss is going to be a huge let down.

Seriously. I'm playing through it again right now. Such a great game.
