'I Am Still Alive' is An Action Game

Color me suitably pissed off. Personally, I had my heart set on Ubisoft deliver some sort of logical/puzzle action adventure with strong survival elements. Buuut, that's just me. On the other hand, 'I Am Still Alive' is being described as a 3rd person action game. Not only that, but albeit initially designed as retail release, Ubi means to launch this as a download title for PSN and Xbox Live.

"This is an action game in which players assume the role of a man who must find his family in a post-apocalyptic world. From a third-person perspective, players traverse through city ruins and use a machete to kill human enemies in melee-style combat," that's according to the the Mature ESRB rating summary.

It continues: "Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, slashing sounds, and cries of pain; characters emit brief splashes of blood when hit. Players have the ability to kill or knock unconscious wounded/vulnerable enemies via finishing moves (e.g., throat slashing, impaling, pistol-whipping); these scenes are highlighted by close-up camera angles and increased player control (e.g., on-screen prompts with button-press sequences)."

"During the course of the game, players encounter women who can be saved from nearby enemies; sexual mistreatment is sometimes implied in the dialogue (e.g., 'These guys kept me as their pet, or mascot, or something.'). One sequence depicts the background silhouette of a man fondling and threatening a captured female survivor; the exchange includes phrases such as 'Do you hear me? Don't touch me!' and 'Don't be like that. You know I can make your life a lot easier if you would just cooperate.'

"The words "p*ssy," "f**k," and "sh*t" can be heard in the dialogue." - (that's the best thing we've heard so far).

So, essentially, plenty of action, finishing moves and QTEs. That's just terrific.

Fuck.

I sure hope the ESRB-fellows have just misunderstood some of the things and that there is a lot of adventure and survival in it too, but I guess not, everything needs to be dumbed down and action-ish. Morons.

Throw in Ubisoft's epic gay DRM and you have a mega fail !!!

Just so you guys know, there's no release date at this time.
  Assassin8: From what it sounds like, hopefully it gets cancelled again....

Its Ubisoft, what did you expect? Of course they will find a way to muck up a great concept one way or another.

wow this the same game? From that it almost sounds like they dumped the original and knock up something real quick.

Shit. I was hoping for some cinematic survival, or something like that.

God of War in post-apocalypse.

So, the game you were expecting doesnt exist, never existed... get over it.

Learn to stop pre-judging games.
  Khaos: Actually it was touted from the beginning as being a surviva...

God, I hope this is an action-adventure game and not just another God of War clone.
