It's not long before the game is out, and there's open MP beta soon. Games usually look worse the further in development they are, as graphical features get cut to keep the framerate high. (Gears, LAIR, but granted those games have superb visuals still)
The pc is the biggest market still.
It's very easy to pirate console games, i wouldn't be surprised if your local market has people flogging them for pennies above the cost of the dual layer dvd it's burned on. Flashed 360 drives have been around for ages, and there's no securom or starforce...
Uses the engine, i know my GoW looks nowhere near that smooth.
As for the adverts, yes i've seen them, but then again it's a huge market over here so i'm not surprised. (especially consoles)
I'm playing my pc mostly, Medieval 2, gothic 3, dark messiah and nwn 2. for the xbox i finished gears a while ago and cod3 last night. Single player cod 3 is a bit shit to be honest, can tell it's made by a different company. Gears is fun but it's over in the time it takes to fart, and...
I died loads of times as well, i ended up saying stuff it and went right with baird and cole, that way all 4 of you can cover each other, and keep on your toes as well, because more spawn after you kill the 1'st group.
Well, currently just got to act 3, it's a fun game yes, but the story so far is pretty much non-existent, the gameplay itself is very samey, but they managed to handle that well by making the areas interesting. The characters are wafer thin, they also look like big hulking retards, now normally...
You get what you pay for really, the overall console is a decent price, they kill you with the price of games though, absolutely ridiculous...plus most are shit, so it's worth waiting a month or two after release while the game you want drops down in price and order online.
*shrugs* i came from consoles a few years ago and you get what you pay for really, i don't mind paying a premium (i don't...you only have to shop around) for a pc as i'm getting IMO the best in gameplay, graphics and sound. My 360 is right here next to me but it's barely used, sure it's nice to...
I prefer this game to wow, i'm currently only a lvl 37 zerker though so we'll see how it goes. as for the graphics...i think they're stunning, armour needs alot of work though. I'm not too fond of the soga models, i use the soga gnomes, human male and dwarf female and that's it, the default eq2...
I can't stand that game anymore, i really enjoyed levelling to 60, but once you get there...whoah talk about a u-turn in the games quality. either grind or raid...hell seems like they're even combining the two these days. Absolute shit.
Not buy mcdonalds for a start, i couldn't care less about what happens in africa. sure it's a shame but I have my own life to worry about.
As for the video cards, well the last card i had was a 9800 pro, then i got a 7800gtx...and i prolly won't upgrade till dx10, sure it ain't cheap but...
I've just yet to be blown away that's all, usually when i play a 360 game i can't help but think "you know, this game is nice but it'd prolly be better on my pc" usually i'm totally different when i buy a new console.
Absolutely, was getting pretty depressed at the lack of really awesome games.
Apparently a demo for lost planet will be out on the 9th?...i'm getting all giddy thinking about it :P
I thought the CPU and GPU had two big ass heat sinks and plastic covers over them to direct the air out of the back? wouldn't something like this cause turbulence inside the console?
When i'm playing demos off the hard drive it doesn't even get that warm, what's causing the heat is that...
Well i just tried that 360 SP demo and it doesn't seem to be all that amazing either, it's got much better lighting, they did an excellent job with the HDR in the 360 version, but it's textures don't seem as good and it seems to lack any AF in the game. Also it's effects and explosions aren't as...
