What Games Are You Playing?

[sygnus21]

Oh yeah, S.O.C was a nightmare to begin with bug wise. It improved a fair bit with the later patches. I persevered because it was different and had a lot of atmosphere - but it had to keep getting shelved until it was patched.

Yeah, I kept up with the patches but the patches couldn't keep up with the bugs so I shelved the game.

However It did fair a lot better than another Russian themed game - Cryostasis. That game was so buggy, and problematic, that I literally broke the disk and threw it in the trash. Objects (items) would disappear, you would get stuck in places and couldn't move, and.... the game simply lagged no matter what. A poster over at rage said the game was crippled for anyone using an ATI card so... :shock:

Think the one that's being released in 5 days will cost $9.99, so it isn't *too* bad, but still more than I think it's worth. Especially when all the DLC is already in the game, what we download just "enables" it so to speak.

It wouldn't be too bad if they sold the game at half price, because they are essentially selling a half a game. But to charge full price and then make you pay extra for what is already there is just gouging.

Especially for a game that was just released! Hmmm.... extortion is usually associated the the Mafia so....

Especially when all the DLC is already in the game, what we download just "enables" it so to speak. I heard there's a mod that enables it already somewhat, but is rather buggy.

£9.99 :sarc:...nah il wait for the mods to be released that unlocks them,Im not paying extra to unlock features in a game that ive already purchased once...i think 2K are just been greedy now.

Ive already got the free roam mod working and a trainer for extra fun such as disable cops etc.

Going by their forums though,ALOT of people are not happy with both the game and with how 2K are treating people and wanting to charge extra...it will seriusly hurt their reputation in the long run.

Hmm, I don't recall Cryostasis being overy buggy. But it was just after release that I played it, and it was only a once through, so I can't remember now.

Although I do recall that if you had the 360 controller plugged in, you couldn't move your character

I do remember it being laggy as hell though. It was definitely not ATI friendly... Then again, it was a PhysX 'showcase' title :sarc:

I don't use game box controllers, strickly keyboard.

It certainly was laggy with my ATI card. The game publisher (1C company)) must have been proud of themselves with that one. Good job :sarc:

Now I know to run far far away from their games.

I have both the GOTY and the original version (CD). The GOTY version I could never get to work on Windows 7 64-bit; it just flat out refused to install but I don't remember the exact error I got. The original version however works just fine on both 7 32 and 64-bit.

I also want to play NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and NFS Underground again but I seem to have misplaced the product keys for them. I bought the bundle that included High Stakes, Porsche Unleashed, Hot Pursuit 2, and Underground and the keys were included in the little manual, which I can't find.

I haven't tried the Steam version but I assume that would work or if you're lucky enough to get the original CD version, that should work as well. Funny enough, I didn't actually have to buy the game because Deus Ex along with MDK 2, the original Unreal Tournament, and Thief II: The Metal Age all came bundled with my Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 Sound Card that I bought way back in April of 2001. What an era that full games were actually bundled with high-end components ... I certainly miss those days.

NOTE: I just tried under Windows 7 64-bit the Deus Ex GOTY Edition and it installed and ran properly. You may want to create a thread for the specific issue you're having and post the error to see what may be causing it. Note that the one modification I made is that I had it install the game under C:\Program Files (x86)\Deus Ex\The Conspiracy.
