  • Battlefield 1

    @Pampers, or anybody else.....

    I've played for days without problems but tonight, as soon as I turned on Skype, Battlefield 1 flipped. After I closed the Skype window it booted up normally but now everything is blurry. I've rebooted and updated my driver, but that doesn't help. I can't play like this. The funny thing is, if I go to settings, reset my video settings, nothing changes in the settings but it's no longer blurry. Problem fixed right? But as soon as I save, it goes back to blurry again. So apparently pressing reset does in fact reset something (even though none of the values change) but it's impossible to save whatever it is that's reset.

    Against all my expectations, I'm loving Twitter. It really proves the theory of 'Six degrees of separation'. You can reach people with such ease, it beats all other forms of communication on the Internet. I'm not some celebrity groupie. But when you write an article about Quake and John Romero likes it or when you mention something about Starship Troopers and all of sudden Casper van Dien likes it, it's a whole different layer of reaching people. I'm not saying, oh what cool, I need to frame it for my wall, but I do appreciate the added connectivity and validation.

  • What movie is this?

    Edit* Nope.

    If you can appreciate 80's B-horror with a ridiculously bad monster, yes. If not, no.

    You've probably met me. I've been sniping the shit out of everybody and I'm loving it.

  • Fallout 4

    I installed it and played for a couple of hours. I immediately started with a couple of mods. The most important one is the unofficial patch, followed by the full dialog mod (should have been in vanilla FO4). I'm also using the better map mod en the lowered weapons mod. Nothing major, but just a smoother experience.

    The first thing I noticed is that intro is not voiced by Ron Perlman. Sure, he's on the television later and I understand why they did it, but it just didn't feel the same. Visually, I was very pleased. It got a lot of critique but I like it. The first 90 minutes or so, we're really immersive and I was thinking, why did I wait so long. The patches also make it a much smoother experience overall. But then I came across the Minute men, picked up the fusion core and Power Armor and fought a Deathclaw who was stuck in the wall of a building and the illusion was completely shattered again.

    In other words, you can see it's the same old Gears, which implicitly has good and bad aspects(?).

    Nah, it's smooth as butter. No critique there.

    I'm hoping people will be pleasantly surprised by the game. Watching videos of someone play it's easy to be "yep, looks like Gears" but I'm hoping when people get their hands on it they remember just how fluid and fun Gears core gameplay is. Epic did a really amazing job and I think it's still best-in-class even now when I play other more contemporary 3rd Person Shooters.

    Yes, I played it at Gamescom (private session). Like I said, it's pure Gears gameplay.

    You know @2d-chris, you did a brave thing. You love something and you just went all out. I can imagine it wasn't cheap (the equipment alone is a small fortune I reckon) but you saved up and followed your dream. Nobody can take these memories away from you. Well, maybe Alzheimer but that's a different story. When you are old and your time is up, you can look back, smile and say:'I did that! No regrets!'. I can only respect that man.

  • Duke Nukem Forever

    Quote from PogoP

    1 hour ago, PogoP said: Probably just a re-release. I had a look online and you can't actually legitimately get a digital copy of Duke Nukem anywhere at the moment. Shame, I had an urge to play it after seeing this thread pop up :P

    Edit - Maybe I'm wrong! Take a look at this below. Looks like a re-master!

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/commen…ased_is_called/

    If that's a remaster than I'm king of the world. EDuke32, which has been out for eons, looks much better and so did the now pulled Megaton edition. If they really put so much effort into building up some hype for something this lame, their much further gone than anyone could have imagined.

    Do a new game or do a real remaster.

  • Fallout 4

    Ok, I've waited long enough. All the DLC is out too (in case I want to buy it), the game has been patched up so it's about time that I'm finally going to give it a proper go. Now for the those that played the game extensively, what mods do you recommend? For the record, I'm a purist so I'm looking for mods that improve the overall experience. I also enjoy some graphic overhauls but as long as it keeps the original style in tact.

    If you enjoy it, that's fine, good for you man, seriously. I also understand @(HP) his point and @Corwin his comment probably has some truth in it as well, especially the hype part, gamers really brought that on themselves. But that still doesn't excuse nor justify the fact the we were mislead. What was advertised is not what we got, plain and simple.
