Should I get it?

I've known about the game for the longest time but had utterly no interest in buying or playing it. Just recently though, after it garnished several awards and nominations from video game sites, I'm wondering if I should give it a go.

I've read the reviews for it and it does certainly seem like an entertaining first person game, though the Co-Op has problems and the MP might as well not exist (Thankfully no MP achievements! Woot!)

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Its fun.

Do you like open world games? FPS's? If so you will be satisfied.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Single player is where it is at. Multiplayer is just laughable. Really laughable. I really miss predator mode.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

This.

It's a shame, because the mutliplayer actually has a crap-ton of potential, but they decided to generic-ify it.

One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

What are you doing on the flood?!?! You should be driving to buy it right now!

It's brilliant because it's so ridiculous.

I mean it's unbelievable that an untrained white civillian from California can take 100 bullets and a shark bite to the chest and live. But then again that's what makes the game fun.

Oh and you'll dislocate your thumb a lot.

The game does a great job of presenting you a sandbox, introducing the tools for it, and then letting you run free. It allows you to pull off some great stunts and action, along with the occasional misstep that turns out to be hilarious.

And those hallucination sequences are really well done.

I got it today and so far I'm enjoying it. There are a few little issues I have with it, and for some reason I sometimes find it difficult to spot enemies or characters from the landscape (I have no idea why). It annoys me how you can't save during a mission, but whatever, I can make do.

The graphics are beautiful, the story so far is great and the voice work is fantastic. The music is... good, and the rest of the sounds are great. I have yet to play Co-op, but I enjoyed a couple of Multiplayer games earlier.

First impressions: 8/10, but that's looking like it may improve as I get more into the game.

And wrist. I hate the heal where you put the thumb/wrist back to normal. It makes me cringe every time. Oh, and you bandage your left arm a lot, too. But, all in all, it is a very fun game. I'm not very far in the Story, but it is really good.

I haven't played it yet, but I heard that it is "like Skyrim with guns." It really looks like a single island, first-person Just Cause 2.

It seems you have to actually see part of the enemy, you can't just get part of him through a bush or other foliage. It's realistic in a sense, and makes the games feel more like an experience IMO.

This is a truly terrible signature.

Definitely one of the best games of 2012.
Anyone who's finished the game will know what I mean when I say the 'Ride of the Valkyries' scene is epic.
