Quote from Pampers

you can change the fov on pc

FOV is only vertical, I have changed it and it's bad.

Server browser is a joke. Worst I've ever used. And the FOV is only vertical and not horizontal. Dumb as anything. Developers have tried really hard to obscure your view with everything you do. Aim down ironsights you get blinded by the massive muzzle-flash and surrounding ironsights. Tank view is just garish and bright as the sun. FOV, as mentioned does its best to limit your view. If you shoot a tank 4 times in the rear it is left with 10hp so the crew are allowed to vacate it easily so all that effort you put into fighting it is a waste as they get away scot free. Both teams all have the same weapons, boring. Snipers are stupidly easy to play and infest servers.

Not impressed with my £34 investment so far. The beta gave hope but so far this is a mess.

So far the PC version is very buggy and very unbalanced. Not as amusing to me as the beta was.

Very rough.

lol I'm still limited to 1x AA wtf. Must be an xp dx9 thing

Time to whip this out again

Going mainstream now bros it's on the xbox

- Does the DLC for these RPGs actually interest you?

Not really. Sometimes it does, Dragon Age's didn't as my mates who love the game said they were short and shit so didn't bother with them. Plus they wanted money.

- Would new DLC bring you back to play the game if you beat it already or otherwise stopped playing it?

It would have to be EXTREMELY good.

- How long after a game releases would you still be interested in DLC?

Doesn't matter, above applies to this equally to me.

- Have you/do you buy the expansion packs to RPGs? How long after the original game releases would you want a major expansion pack to be released?

Dragon Age's expansion can't come soon enough. I have all of the Oblivion Expansions as well.

Here's a question to anyone familiar with Dragon Age's DLC. There's this thing called EA points or whatever. You have to pay money to get these points as far as I can work out so you can then spend the points on getting the DLC. You have Achievements in Dragon Age which tally up into it's own points, which so far I have 670 or so out of 1600 or whatever. Why don't your Achievement points translate into EA points or wahtever it's called so you can use those Achievement points to get the DLC instead of having to pay money for them? Makes perfect sense to me. It's like "Hey, thanks for buying spending all the time playing our game! Here's a little reward for your playtime from us just to say thank you." Oh wait, they wouldn't do this because they don't get any money for it.

Dont worry, arnie will walk in and terminate those dicks at activision for everyone.

Is it official now that Activision is worse than EA?

Oh god.

You can tell this is a REMAKE FOR 2010

1) kid is black

2) DRAMATIC MUSIC

3) SWOOPING CAMERA ANGLES

4) ITS A REMAKE WE'RE OUTTA IDEAS FOR NEW IP SORRY GUYS SO WE ARE JUST REMAKING EVERYTHING

Nice ginger, not my kinda car though

Yeah that's my map. Not super happy with it but meh.

CASH COW ALERT

Looks like frie already bet you to the comb over

He's been making lots of comments that we have no idea what the meaning of it is lately.

I finished it the other week. No where near as good as the first but far better than anything else that's out there at the moment. Although, I don't think any Bioshock sequel can top the original. Only System Shock 2 managed that when Ken was at his peak.

And if any of his predictions of the future come true I'm going to kill myself. Sounds like my version of hell

Chris being his helpful self again lol

You mean you only just noticed?

Nostalgia has nothing to do with it, the 3rd really is a pile of rubbish.

Good:Pulse rifle - Almost no recoil.

Weapon and Ambient Sounds - Spot on, best part of the game.

Bad:

Sprint - No game should ever have the move faster ability mean you can't shoot, its just not fun.

FOV - game can't be played for long on widescreen monitor as either marine or predator, it just makes me feel sick :/. Alien FOV is better.

Press E to insa kill - pointless and slows the pace of the game and is just plain annoying - after the initial "That pretty cool" due to what actually occurs.

Pulse rifle - Although it doesn't look like the M41a described in "Aliens", I'd think it'd pack more of a punch than it does.

Flame Thrower - Just stupidly useless

Alien Sounds - Since when did a facehugger make a "vocal" noise when stalking? Part of the scare factor of them was the silence.

There is actually no dedicated servers available yet, and the browser warns that is is "in beta"

Matchmaking - is it developers or publishers that like this idea? Its just a terrible trend that we are going to have to ride out I guess.

Removal of crouch - I don't understand why but it seems to again follow a new trend of removing movement abilities from games.

Regenerating hit points

Checkpoint saves

Short single player

Unneeded weapon icon's in the middle of the screen.

Doesn't look all that impressive - another example of games not advancing due to the industies lust for cross platform games. If they keep developing games to work on consoles that had aged hardware on their release as well as the PC we will be playing games that look like this for the next 5 years. I personally don't mind consoles, but I also liked that if I had game A on the PC, the game with the same title as game A on say, the SNES, was a completely different game, same setting different gameplay, I don't agree with there not being any advantage/disadvantage of owning any system (beyond one or two games), since all of them get the same games.

Judged by todays standards of games being produced this game is not bad, just not great. However the top of todays standards which are considered great and just not.

The unfortunate thing about avp is the gameplay has changed alot since the first game. And thats the game that people enjoyed, its true of all sequels though. Almost like the Design team ask the question "What made our last game fun?" and once answered they decide "OK lets remove all that!". A problem that can be seen across alot of game series.

Its almost at the point where the next AAA title to be release should be boycotted, regardless of reviews. A gamers strike of sorts. Need less sub standard games.

Its all about profits these days.

If you feed people garbage for long enough, the next garbage you feed them will seem like high quality garbage. But at the end of the day, its still garbage.

So guys I finally did the right thing and went and bought AvP... classic 2000. Again. HA. This kicks the shit out of AvP3. Rebellion truly lost all sense of greatness after AvP1.
