What Games Are You Playing? [2]

[Alsisgevat]

Lol,yeah, saber are tricky, and the snowsabers are even worse .

And yeah, i had to fight a chick for some honor thing,and she wanted to be my companion too, but i gave the one i had from the beginning a full dwarven armor set with the dwarven shield and sword. So now it just looks like the huge golden bodyguard haha

 

[Wishmaster]

So ... all this talk of dying to dragons, mammoths, giants etc does seem reasonable. But it does have me wondering about something.

Am I the only one here whos died to an old lady wielding a spoon?
She had some help I think, because I had a arrow in my back but still ...

Starting to think I just really suck at this game.

...an old lady wielding a spoon...

:roflmao:

 

[Alsisgevat]

Haha, that's a first...how big was the spoon?

So i'm hearing a lot of complaints about the frames being locked at 30 FPS in NFS: The Run and LA Noire (The Complete Edition) on PC.. so now i'm wondering that it could be a big waste of money buying both the titles for PC when they are simply console ports. NFS: The Run on Frostbite 2 engine that sounds pretty sweet after playing BF3 of course and all those visuals but can't imagine playing a racing game at 30 FPS!!! So what should i do? go and get both the games for X360? of course i can save money on LA Noire for X360 as i can get it for pretty cheap price here + can get the DLC's later... what do you guys suggest?

:roflmao::haha: What he said



Anyway this game just get better and better. I just killed another dragon and when I went to get my shout I as attacked by some wizard glideing through the air. Man that was that an epic battle.

This is such a great game. And to think I wouldn't have given a game like this the time of day about two years ago. I have Dragon Age to thank for turning me on to these games.

The human eye sees at 28fps, so if you can notice the difference between 30+ and say 60+ id consider you super human

Anything over 30fps is perfectly smooth. When you get lag and stutter below it, thats just your hardware tacking a virtual poop

I've been a long time out of PC gaming, but now I'm back and playing often:
Flight Simulator X
Dirt 3
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

If they are anything like some of the other console port games that are locked at 30FPS such as Alice Madness Returns, Fable 3 etc., it shouldn't be much of a issue removing that framerate cap.


A simple .ini tweak will remove it.

It really is as simple as finding a line in the ini thats somehting along the lines of:

Smooth Framerate=True and chaning to FALSE
OR

MaxFramerate=30 and changing it to =60



@Sygnus
I agree
Though there a few issues and complaints I have with it, the gameplay itself more less cancells them. Enjoying it quite a bit.
One of the best games Ive purchased lately.

 

[Seven Eleven]

Is it at least a new city this time around?

Yeah it's called Steelport.

Bugger. That's a big reason why I never finished the second one

With analog gamepad all is pretty ok. Super fast sport cars are very sensitive at speed - very small corrections with stick needed
Actually this one is much much more polished than SR2. Finally there are some really beautiful car designs, radio stations are great... Simply can't stop playing... So much fun

Yeah there are some annoying things I've run into such as the mouse acting weird at times - during my fight with the flying wizard guy my mouse suddenly stopped working to the point that I had to restart the game. I couldn't turn, couldn't use weapons, just weird

Aside from that little quirk all is good and I'm really enjoying the game

 

[Alsisgevat]

On skyrim, my game just crashes to desktop, no errors or messiges, just exist to desktop, anyone else got this? It happened maybe 3-4 times since i got the game

 

[sygnus21]

It happened to me twice but that was last week. Haven't had the issue since, and I play about 3-4 hours a setting.

 

[Alsisgevat]

Cause I can play the hole day without any issues, and the next day it would exit twice in under an hour, i guess some patches are in order lol

 

[Wishmaster]

Its buggy in places and I think some of it is just being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I haven't had any crashes yet, but have had my mouse stop allowing any actions in menus, or freeze altogether in a menu. Few oddities like that that Ive had.

yes in AMR i managed to remove the cap coz it was made on Unreal Engine and they are pretty easy to tweak but i read on the internet that people are not able to remove the cap on both games and they are like hardcoded somewhere in the files

ok, been playing LA Noire on PC all day Unfortunately, seems to be very much again a poor port :/ At least with GTA4 the 1280x1024 resolution actually filled the screen with gameplay rather than me having to squint at the tiny gameplay area.
Installation: I've seen nicer looking installers on freebie PC magazine discs from the 90s, very shoddy visually, but did the job.
Activation: Well, it asked for my key when I first ran it. Rather peeved that it didn't automatically capitalise letters or add hyphens. Not sure whether it would've worked if I'd just typed the 16 chars in a long string. Anyway, it was pretty smooth and I seemingly don't need the disc in the drive to play (bonus in my books - saves finding the disc again )

Gameplay: Well, using my PS3 DualShock 3 controller with it is a great benefit - I can't imagine playing it with mouse and keyboard. Seems visually shiny and fairly similar to the PS3 version.
On the whole, not overly impressed Perhaps when I get a widescreen monitor I'll feel a bit differently about it.

Skyrim,so far so good.
