Hrm Resident Evil 6. Where do Capcom get their designers from? Initial impression: terrible controls, frantic random input sequences that make no sense. Very hard to see where you're going, even with my Toshiba TV which is 2 months old, fully calibrated I had to max out the brightness to see anything. And I still had trouble seeing anything, yet the game setup recommends I should've had it darker. I don't think a level designer actually made this because it's that bad. There is absolutely no player leading what so ever, you just kind of hold forward and hope for the best. The lighting doesn't really have any artistic flavour to it, its just pitch black with blobs of lighting. You have way points for every part of the game telling you where to go (although most games have that now, but still that sucks). If you don't know where to go there is also a button you can toggle that tells you which direction you should go. That tells me a lot about the creative direction of this game. In Coop you can't see your partner if they're in the darkness there is no illumination or marker to signal where they are so it's very hard to know where each of you are; basically ruining the coop experience. Visually the game looks nice, the art is good, but that's about it to be honest. Very disappointed in Capcom.

It's looking really nice, very polished. But when taking screenshots for pimping, please enable FSAA it just makes things look crisper

That's all well and good but I think you're reading your statistics incorrectly, or they're giving you the wrong numbers. To have 12,000 draws is amazing. I don't even think Crysis on maximum settings has that many draws, no matter how complex your shaders are. To have that on one weapon would make TF2 run at 20fps, it's insane

imaghine having 12k tetxures, haha even the thought of it makes me sweat Yeah totally, a consoles worst nightmare

To even have 12k draws you'd need 12k unique meshes or 12k unique textures.

Those fucking bees in act 2, omg they hurt a lot

To compare your rings, hold the alt key to see the other one Tip of the day! cheers :monkey:

Manned it up and got one of these today!

Welcome to every official forum ever. That's usually why I never make a proper post because I know it'll just get lost amongst the "Blizzard failed and diablo 3is dead" posts.

I ended up writing my thoughts on the forums if any one interesting in reading it. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5745444985 The problem with those forums is if you write anything constructive it's answered by 12yr olds

I'm so glad I didn't sub but I am annoyed I paid 70 dollars for nothing :/ yeah, that sux. Still, its the longest MMO I have ever played of day 1 purchase. I got around 600 something hours or out of it. I did enjoy my first 2 play throughs, but during the second one it became more obvious and apparent how flat the game really is :/ and in the end just bored by that point. I'll go back to it after a year or whenever the mood strikes. If you play any game constantly for 600 hrs you'll burn out You need to play it for a few nights solid, take a breather, and play again. How do you think I keep going back to wow, I take breaks in between excessive raiding/playing.

Interesting portfolio Although if you're aiming to be a professional level designer then I would focus on just the level design content in the portfolio and set aside any arty stuff and leave the level content as the main focus. I would also try and show more than one or two levels with detailed walk through on the game play and why you decided to go with that. As you will need to do that on the job it demonstrates that you can do this, no point in hiring someone who can sit there making buildings but has no idea why I'm not one to talk about layouts as mine is equally not good http://www.plagueandpestilence.com/ Z
