What Games Are You Playing? [2]

[Alsisgevat]

Yeah, but maybe if they add some cop cars,NOS and cool music it would rate higher....speaking of NOS and cop cars...

I am over excited for the release of Need For Speed the Run on the 18th(here in South-Africa,not shore if it's the same other places in the world) I can't wait anymore....hopefully it lives up to my super high expectations...lol

...in other words, it's a rubbish game.

True!!

Well,i received Skyrim this morning,installed,emmm....its ok,so far so good.

Lets just keep the MP on the side...

Just started playing COD: MW3 campaign and now seriously after finishing BF3 Campaign which was pretty short but awesome gameplay & graphics MW3 does'nt look good at all to me. I mean it's been many years now since COD: MW came than WAW,MW2,BO and now MW3 and they all feel the same not much improvement on anything. Same graphics, sounds, movements, action and everything... Playing BF3 after BC2 is a huge difference in gameplay, graphics and everything even the sounds are amazing even on my old Kenwood stereo system. I'm not saying MW3 is bad game and i'm gonna finish it soon but i would say that BF3 takes the lead and it was one of the prettiest titles i played. That was my opinion on both games and i enjoyed playing them.

whoa, was it?? I think the current lack of a PS3 has left me rather out of the gaming news world, I mean, the Modern Warfare 3 release completely uninterested me, though I'm a big fan of Infinity Ward's CoDs . Nice to see that AC: Revlelations for PC has fairly 'nice' spec requirements, now I have to decide whether to buy PS3 version now or wait for PC release I do really want to play it though

 

[Alsisgevat]

Yup, apparently the ps3 version was relieced on 15 November, and the pc version should have relieced same date, but got delaied for some technical stuff, Anyway I would wait for the pc one, Cause the graphics are gonna be epic, And for me that already makes a game better than on console. As far as I know the new reliece dat for the pc version is 2 December. It suits me, cause I first need to buy new Oblivion and NFS the Run. Then on second December i will get Batman and Assassins Creed

I took a chance and got L.A. Noire for the PC. As my taste in VGMs are a bit weird, I, of course, loved it. Still playing it, though the lagging is driving me crazy.

Skyrim seems great so far, much better than the epic failure that was Oblivion (well, at least without the 30GB+ of mods xD). Next up, Saints Row the Third and AS: Revelations...

I'm unable to play L.A. Noire until probably this weekend at the least but I am really really excited about it, despite having played it on PS3 Just a side question, how much HDD space does it take up? (I think I'll need to clear up a lot of space before I install it ).
Recently poked my head back into CoD Modern Warfare (1) and enjoyed it visually on this PC, though I prefer the Bad Company 2 controls to these, especially with all the finger acrobatics I have to do on the keyboard with Modern Warfare

Well I'm really starting to enjoy Skyrim now. Really impressed with the snowstorms and blizzards, especially when you travel to the top of the mountain to meet the Greybeards at Hrothgar. The whole atmosphere being at the top of a mountain with howling winds and a blowing snow storm is nicely done

Performance wise the game is pretty good, though I did have two CTD's. Outside of that, no other issues.



As as side note... nice to see that this thread got stickied. Or perhaps I'm late in noticing this

Not really sure about the PS3 version, but the PC version takes around 13,4GB

Pong (console - no emulators)

and for hitting a ball back and forth, the graphics are pretty true to life (aside from the ball having corners)

[smarteyeball]

The audio is spot on though. Just like a real match

 

[rubyrubyroo]

yea, just like beeping noise of a real ball hitting the raw racket

i'm playing skyrim too.

a few things do bug me though:

1 - lack of carrying capacity - you spend ages traversing through a convoluted mazey tunnels, hack and slash your way through a bunch of baddies, then you find you can't pick up all their stuff, as it slows your movement to a snail's pace. so you have to leave some of it behind, navigate your way back the way you came in to reach the outside world where you can fast-travel to a shop and sell your loot, you then need to fast-travel back, go through the lengthy labyrinth again to pick up the rest of the kit that you had to leave behind the first time, then revisit the shop once more to lighten your load - this can take a long long time and isn't very fun. of course, you could just leave the loot altogether, but i'm saving up trying to buy a house in whiterun!

once you get a companion, you can share the burden with them, but it's still a bit fiddly and boring transferring stuff between your inventory and theirs. it would be good if you could give your sidekick an order such as 'pick up all the stuff from that pile of corpses there'. there is a perk you can get so you can carry more, but you need to rank up quite a bit to get there. i look forward to mods which will address this weight limit.

2 - the ui! it's often counter-intuitive navigating through the commands and perk-up screen, and i often click on something expecting one result and instead get confounded by being sent back to the game unexpectedly because i clicked my mouse rather than hit the 'enter' key. i'm slowly learning, but it's still frustrating and feel it could have been done better. as mentioned in a post somewhere above, it's probably due to consolisation.

3 - the consolish graphics. visually the game does look a few years old. modern gpu's can do so much better.

apart from those gripes, i'm enjoying the adventure so far and have only experienced one ctd in 15 hours of gameplay. (not surprising really, bethesda have had lots of time to iron out bugs in the old recycled engine after all.) i've noticed the odd bug where you can't pick up the occasional item off the ground, especially arrows.

oh, and i'm playing as a cat - which is an option you don't see in many other games!

Now that I did not wan't to here...lol, so you say the graphics are not too good?

 

[mickey megabyte]

there's nothing particularly wrong with them, they just look a bit dated.

the important thing is the game itself - and overall, it's enjoyable.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Does it suuport dx11?

 

[mickey megabyte]

i'm pretty sure the api is dx9.

lazy developers!

but don't let that put you off getting the game...

 

[Alsisgevat]

Hehe Thanx Mickey, nah I already desired to get the game, but up until 3hours ago i had xams, but now i have 2 months vacation, so Tomorrow morning I am getting and by the weekend in a week i will play it, but i luv to know what other people think on stuff
