  • Crysis 3

    Quote from Thrik

    Yes a vast jungle full of enemy encampments and endless gameplay possibilities is so much better than the usual corridors and warehouses.

    You should have kept playing D3, later on it turns into a linear underground corridor shooter with monsters.

    I completed it, the mutants were so annoying and those things with the rocket launchers that instant killed you... fuck me I nearly split my keyboard in half over them...

    Not a fan of open world tbh anyway, except Stalker obv.

  • Crysis 3

    I haven't even played Crysis 1 I guess it's because back in the day it wanted a monster machine and I have never really been all that interested in it anyway (Far Cry was good but the open jungle got boring fast).

  • PC gaming nirvana

    I have stigmatism and I have to wear glasses when using the computer, if I don't my vision swirls and I suffer from migraines. It's pretty common with people who have always used computers for much of the day every day since young. Even then I still sometimes get vision warping, I would think something of that size would probably make me go blind!

    Play F.E.A.R. Extraction Point as well, it's really really good (IIRC)! Perseus Mandate isn't quite as good though and can be skipped.

    I own them both, EP had it's moments but ultimately ended up being pointless and

    they killed off Jin and Holiday!

    . Perseus Mandate I actually quite liked with the tougher merc enemies and the cool japanese dream sequences. Anyway, neither of those are considered "official" since Project Origin and F.3.A.R. contradict the events in those expansions.

  • Flash videos above 360p keep stuttering

    Ok this is odd, if I load a video at 1080p, it freezes and I just close the window via processes. I decided to leave it and see what happens this time and after about 2 minutes, it unfroze and played the video without any problems.. WTF.

    I'll try clearing temp files and reinstalling flash, not much point reinstalling browsers as it's not the issue.

    IE? lol I disabled that months ago, I don't know how to get it working again...

  • Flash videos above 360p keep stuttering

    Just over the last month, anything on Youtube, Gametrailers etc that is above the normal 360p has started performing very badly. I can't even watch 720p or higher because it freezes up the browser or moves at 5fps. This happens both in Firefox and Chrome so it's not browser related and I have the latest Flash update so I can't understand how this is happening.

    Any ideas?

  • Dead Space 3

    The thing I disliked most about the second game was the emphasis on combat, the game kept throwing waves of enemies at you and the later sections were just ridiculous, I don't know how I managed to beat the damn thing!

    Quote from Erratic

    I always really liked the boring fear environments. Felt like real places. Just a super depressing atmosphere about them and they made for good combat spaces.

    FEAR 3 is also good. I'd say it's probably the best of the franchise. It's hard to out do the first of any series but aside from a few modernisms (the scoring system, which I actually enjoyed but it seems counter to a horror game) it's a really solid shooter. Some really cool levels and the guns feel good. Took a lot of shit for no reason, and it's at the very least a better game than Fear 2.

    Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to pick it up soon!

    I don't get why people have so much hate for F.E.A.R. 2? They fixed all the problems with the first game people bitched about, I personally love it as much as the first...

  • What are you playing now?

    F.E.A.R. - Horribly bland environments galore but still the best combat in any FPS to date. I forgot how long this game is, it feels like you've been through a war when it's all over.

    Gonna play through Project Origin next and I'm torn as to whether or not I should buy F.3.A.R. since I haven't played that one yet...
