  • Battlefield Bad Company 2

    Quote from dux

    Played it some more for over an hour. Laggy and broken as hell. It's a beta sure but that doesn't prevent it from being damn annoying to see your 30 round clip go into someone's face with no effect. Getting warped back through fences constantly or stuck on stupid little trees. The fov is just a pain in the ass and I cant focus on a damn thing its so small. The only small enjoyment I got was from playing a dirty sniper but that's weak as anything and takes about 3 shots to kill anything. If they fix this lag maybe I won't get so frustrated at it and enjoy it more. But until then it can fuck off.

    ????? In all the time I played I had literally zero lag issues. Maybe your settings are too high and it's in fact an FPS issue instead?

    Also sniper instagibs if you'd stop firing the bullets like it's a semen sprayer and actually try to make a headshot. This is BF, it's always been like this. But yah, I imagine it's not a game for everyone.

    Quote from Minotauro

    I beat ME1 on the xbox last night to have a proper save. Because I was aiming for the Liara and Tali achievements I played with both the entire game but I didn't get any of the achivements when I beat the game I even did all the sidequests (except for the gases and metals one of course)

    Tali and liara are the hardest. You need to literally NOT DO ANY ASSIGNMENTS OR MISSIONS until you have them both in your party if you want to get the achievements. It's gotten a BIT easier after the DLC, but it's still a bitch. I needed the material gathering to get them.

  • Battlefield Bad Company 2

    Played the beta for roughly 4 hours and found it to be pretty damn amazing. Definitely glad I preordered this, brings back good memories from 2142. Seems pretty refined too. I especially like the new knife and the fact you don't get tired after sprinting for 5 seconds anymore (infinite sprint). Knife feels a lot more like a weapon that it does in cod4, and even the older BF games, though you now use it on a melee button instead of a seperate weapon. Takes some skill to get it right, but I find that to be a better quality than everyone just randomly slashing in a direction like in cod4.

    The enemy spotted now works by pressing Q while looking at someone and works great. You can't see anyone on the map until someone spots them, and if a spotted enemy dies, the spotter gets an XP bonus. There are A LOT of unlock, pins and rewards. If you're any good at the battlefield style play, you'll level decently fast and get a lot of them. And nothing's actually more satisfying than checking out all the rewards you got after the round ends (and you can take your time doing it too before rejoining the game, damn you cod4). Of course the dog tags made a return. You get unlocks for a class by playing it, and it takes you linearly through the tree. But honestly, I prefer this over the old system. It seems you get stuff a bit faster, and it's working good so far. Also, some unlocks are universal for all the classes, like some rifles, and handguns. So if you've been playing a ton of engineer (like I usually do), you're not gimped when switching on to assault later.

    Anyway. Love this game.

    Quote from Sentura

    i really liked the story of mass effect, but gameplay wise i've seen better rpgs out there. of course in the end it's the experience that counts, and i will be getting ME2 by the time it comes to pc, but really, don't overhype it.

    Which is the same time as xbox.

    I still say OpFor is better than the original Half-Life. [Blocked Image: http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee287/joeydl/smiley_smug.gif]

    This.

    OpFor was AMAZING. Half-life was groundbreaking though, and had a great story. Without Half-Life there'd be no OpFor, and they're both awesome in their own way. However, for multiplayer, OpFor wins hands down. Also, Shephard is ace. And I actually felt he had more personality than Gordon Freeman.. Though that doesn't really say a lot.

    OpFor also had more variety in weapons and enemies, and some really tricky levels (Fuck you level with the explosives and tripwires all over the place, and stupid black ops people with grenade launchers not caring if they blow the whole shit up). The teamwork NPC's were a pretty rad addition. Made you feel part of something bigger than yourself and created more of an atmosphere than the scientists and barney did in Half-Life, where everything was practically about you. It also provided some more insight to the story.

    All you bitches preordering the CE... Everywhere I've looked with a decent pricetag it's been sold out. Had to get the regular version, since I don't feel like paying £80 for a CE for x360. Can't wait to play the game though.

    And I'll probably end up picking up the digital deluxe for pc at some point, so I guess I'll still get the nifty art stuff.. Just in a more boring version

  • Zero Gear - an indie multiplayer kart racing game

    Been pimping this game to all my friends any chance I got, and I just now bought it. I've had a blast, but mostly playing the fun game modes. I have to agree some of the tracks seem a bit big and eventless, but others are completely fine. Maybe it's a matter of taste. The puck game mode is hilarious, and watching the puck turn on it's side and run around the course by itself after I punchglove punched it was hilarious. There seems to be a bit of lag, and pretty horribly so, but I might have gotten a bad server.

    But that aside, the game is awesome Good job.

    And I'll continue pimping it out, if only to be able play it at LAN parties. I imagine there'll be shits, giggles and shenanigans.

  • Oh god. Here we go with the FOV again.

    I've gotten this from a lot of games recently, but not Dead Space for some reason. It does annoy the fuck out of me that the camera is so close to the player though. But the first 10 minutes of Borderlands almost made me throw up and left me with a major headache... Audiosurf and Guitar Hero makes everything around me spin and feel wavy aside from the nausea and headaches. I dunno if that's a fov issue too, but it means I can't even play the games :/

    I don't know what's with all those low FOVs lately. Bioshock had a freaky one too, but at least it didn't make me sick. But maybe that's all because of the pace of the game. I've also never had issues with high speed games before, and I don't get motion sickness in cars or anything like that.

  • What have you purchased recently?

    [Blocked Image: http://www.pccomponentes.com/fotos/monitores/benq_g2420hd_24__full_hd_dvi_hdmi.jpg]

    Pretty sweet so far. For the price at least (1300 DKK, or roughly $235). I don't actually know what panel it is, but looking at the specs, a qualified guess would be TN. Comparing to my Dell monitor with an S-IPS panel, it really is lacking a lot of colour, but it's also a monitor that's 4 inches larger at about 1/4th of the price, so I think I'll live.

    I loved this game... Can't wait for the second installment.

    I have mixed feelings about this one, but fuck the ones who say it's a shit game. The story is great, the music is great, the atmosphere is pretty good as well. Yes, the gameplay was sluggish and it had a load of major game-stopping bugs, but I still finished the game for a reason. It doesn't reach as high as the first game, but still better than a lot of other games out there by miles.

  • Men of War

    I've been playing this game a LOT a few months ago. It's pretty great. The voice acting sucks hard, but the game itself is amazing. The amount of detail put into it is mindblowing. However, what's fun about this game isn't (imo) really the multiplayer deathmatch type deals, but more the coop. I've played a bunch of 4 player coop with some friends where we all try to beat a map being assigned different units and taking different tactical positions and coordinating. This is where the game gets really fun. Because you get to spend more time micromanaging fewer units rather than just putting everyone into their deaths. The AI blows, so it's pretty much necessary to do that.

    Anyway, give it a try with some friends over coop, and it'll really shine. But it does have a lot of downsides.

    Quote from Sindwiller

    My 2 cents: Overrated artist - well, celebrities are overrated anyway -, pathetic and miserable person, a guy with a horrible childhood, just another human soul. He will be missed just as any other. I don't know, the whole Neverland ranch thing, the whole pedophile thing, the whole thing with being obsessed to look like princess Diana, his mediocre pop music....

    He was neither mediocre nor overrated. He's made hit upon hit and has brought a whole lot to the musical world in his time. You may dislike him for any other reason, but you can't argue that his music sucked.
