Man, just Jeff saying that made me nostalgic. Love Bionic Commando. I even kind of enjoyed the crazy 08 one. Can't wait to play this. NO JUMPING.

Playing Bionic Commando on the NES as a child scared me because I literally had no idea what I was supposed to do.

The first one is still one of my favorite downloadable games, so I hope this will be just as good, even though I have my doubts... and I'm totally going to disable the jumping feature!

Bought the first game on sale, never really got into it. To be fair, I didn't really give it much of a go.

Never played much of the first bionic commando rearmed, but loved the soundtrack, and it looks like I'll be looking for the music to this game too.
 
And play it when I get the chance.

This game looks cool, I tried the first Rearmed and just couldn't handle the lack of jumping (having never played the original) maybe this will be a bit better for me.

Not a real Bionic Commando fan, but I've been eagerly anticipating this QL, especially since the last Happy Hour. Hey Jeff, how are the challenge rooms doing for you? ;)

Is it weird that I got bothered by how much Jeff jumped while playing? Then again maybe the changes to the swinging encourages you to jump more? 
 
I dunno, will definetly pick this up and try to be as conservative in my jumping as possible, I think I'll enjoy it more that way.

Looks quite solid. Certainly a whole different league to that other Bionic Commando game that came out a short while back. I agree with Jeff that they probably want to just forget about that.

I'm not feeling it. Wish I did. Absolutely adored the first one, perhaps too much... 
 
I really hope it sells to expectations though, it seems like a solid piece of software.

Looks damn good & some better mechanics make it look quite fun.   
 
Hate to be the leader of that country though when he finds out that most of his army was defeated only because Rad was crouched down & shooting a gun.

Sometimes watching these is infuriating, because it's like, "Yeah, you probably could have done that thing that you said you couldn't," or "maybe you should have just shot that exploding barrel instead of trying to jump over it."  I guess I just play games differently than one would to record a Quick Look.

Jeff seems REALLY into this game! Also, does anybody else think Brubaker looks exactly like Ed Harris? It's weird.

Definately getting it, but I agree. The first one seemed to have shorter, more varied missions and more tricky enemy placemnts. This one still seems heck of fun though.
