  • Silent Hill revelation

    Seen it, it's fucking terrible... seriously.

    Horrible script, zero character depth, piss poor acting except for the lead (she does her best, despite the mess she has to work with) and hardly any real plot. Two of the main characters from SH3's original storyline are barely even it and one them dies right at the start of the film. Bullshit jump scares that would be right at home in Paranormal Activity and face palm-cliche dialogue ("Go to Hell" "Too late, I'm already there" ...for FUCK'S sake...

    The first film is an oscar winner compared to this shite, save your money.

  • What have you watched recently?

    I watched the first part of Derren Brown's Apocalypse;

    http://www.channel4.com/programmes/der…es-14/episode-1

    I wouldn't usually bother with his stuff but this one had a theme I could identify with so I gave it a go; pretty interesting stuff turning one man's world upside down, but it's hard to tell if it is genuine or staged since you wouldn't know how someone would act in that situation.

    Although I must admit when Derren just touched him and said something I couldn't catch and he fell asleep, I did kind of think to myself "yeah that's a load of shit.. surely.."

    [edit]Ok it would seem it is fake...

    The bottle thing is especially damning...

  • Medal Of Honour: Warfighter

    ...and in the end it's all over before it's even begun... the people responsible for that excuse for a storyline should be fired and never allowed to write again. I had no idea what was going on, who anyone was or why you were even in the countries you were in. and after all that claim of controlling special forces all over the world, you only spent time as the usual cliche American badass, what happened the SAS, Alfa, KSK etc? Only GROM made an appearance in the campaign from what I could tell.

    For all it's many flaws, BF3's campaign was an oscar nomination compared to this!

    Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

    Visually however, it looks even more dated then COD

    Uhhh.... what? The game has many flaws, visuals are not one of them, the game looks fantastic, just check this chase scene out;

    That to me is absolutely incredible! It's obviously linear but it's so open and the detail is insane. Definately the best use of Frostbite 2 so far...

  • Medal Of Honour: Warfighter

    Don't rage just because you can't spell it right

    I've been watching a playthrough, it's exactly like COD right down to pressing a button to breach and then the door explodes and time slows down so you kill as many enemies as you can...

    Bosnia mission was a waste, it doesn't really resemble Sarajevo (apart from the sense, it's a warzone like any other, not sure why everything's gone to shit again either) no signs/notices in Bosnian or any recognisable locations I could see.

    My recording of Walking Dead episode 1 clashed with something else and I missed some of the beginning, does it start with

    a massive close up of a zombie's head

    or is there more before that? Because I've got the rest of it...

    I watched From Dusk Till Dawn last night, still absolutely brilliant.

  • Black Mesa Source

    So I've finally finished it (well, up to the end of Lambda Core, obviously), so here are my thoughts:

    The Good:

    - All of the environments are extremely well done with some areas are almost unrecognisable compared to the originals!

    - The sheer amount of custom content and work gone into the mod has paid off immensely, I never felt like I was anywhere other than BMRF.

    - Excellent voice acting for Barney and the scientists.

    - Dat Skybox in Surface Tension!

    - Revamped and recoded enemies/weapons are awesome.

    - The whole thing is so well polished and I felt like I was playing an actual retail title and apart from one little graphical defect, there were no bugs!

    - Questionable Ethics and Lambda Core were especially utterly fantastic and very faithful to the originals.

    The bad:

    - On A Rail is cut down massively

    - Surface Tension is also chopped in half!

    - A few textures are too "hand-painted" and look bad next to higher quality efforts.

    - HECU were far too accurate, being able to hit you constantly from a mile away...

    - Some odd areas are occasionally bland looking compared to the majority.

    The ugly:

    - The final battle in the Lambda Reactor room was unplayable, I was getting 5fps on a Quad core with 4GB of memory! I had to hide under the platform until it was time to enter the portal to avoid being eviscerated by the aliens above.

    - HECU voice acting made me cringe so much, I'll probably need a facelift.

    That's it! You guys should be proud at what you managed to accomplish, the hype was most definately justified.. best Source mod made thus far!

    So.. Xen in time for Christmas? Pretty please?

  • Politics forum?

    Quote from dux

    Man, that old forum section was a right shit storm, I don't think we need it back just yet.

    From what I can gather a lot of the commotion was caused by RD's biast opinion of muslims and Posty's militant deleting of posts he didn't agree with, neither user is here anymore...

    Quote

    Anyway, we all know you just want to make threads about Syria and stuff.

    "we all know" lol You mean you know, or assume. It's a topic of discussion, but it's not something to jump right into. The US elections are coming up in November, that's gotta be a hot topic for many here and far more relevant.

  • Politics forum?

    I just realised that there's an archive section at the bottom of the forums, and I can see all the old threads from the politics forum before it was closed down in 06, I never noticed that in the old forums so I assume it's all new?

    Anyway, I was wondering since it's been so long and users have come and gone that we could make a new Politics forum? I didn't pay much attention to politics back when the old section was up because I was young, but I gathered that it was closed because of a lot of disagreements between users? (I can't remember specifics but looks like it was more between Postman and RD by the looks of it).

    So if we made a new subforum for politics is there anyone who would be interested? I know Minos and Kedhrin would probably be fairly interested Could we keep it civil and voice our objections to posts/articles clearly without making it personal and respect people's rights to an opinion?

    Of course if we're all worried it'll turn sour again then perhaps it's not such a good idea, but I'm just throwing it up here to see who else would participate.

    Cheers.

    New Homeland season is pretty dam good so far, though I wonder how many more seasons they can get out of the story with out dragging it out :/

    I think that this will be the final one, there's only so far they can take it, unless

    Israel Vs Iran

    plotline they've got going this time around, considering such a scenario is actually brewing up in real life it seems a bit propaganda-ish.

    Still it is rather enjoyable, the trailer for episode 2 indicates a pretty tense situation to come...
