Well... shit. Either of the extensions are worth their price, and RDR is like a whiskey-filled spitoon with hints of GTA4, Snake Eater and John Wayne's semen.

GTA 4 runs fine on my computer and I have a dual core with an 8800 GT Nvidia card.

Yeah, after achodekus explained me that not having the newest patches makes the game practically unplayable.

I think it's ok. Reminds me of my regular life... lot's of shit and driving around and phone ringing all the time.

I haven't played the port since it first came out, especially since I returned it the same day demanding my money back and explaining why it was a piece of shit to the cashier, who probably understood little to none of it, but was convinced enough to give me a fucking giftcard with the fitty bucks I spent on it so I wouldn't get even more pissed off.

I'll be damned if I give it another chance, though. Goddamn.

I pretty much did the same with the most recent Wolfenstein game.
The kid at EB games first refused, coz of the serial and activation and whatnot, so I spoke to the manager, explained that the game is unplayably homosexual and he gave my money back but I kept the serial. Image

I'm running it at 1920x1080 and have the view distances turned to slightly farther than the Xbox version, it runs fine. The patching helped it a lot.

One of the biggest performance hits is reflections because whoever programmed them was retarded - tuning those down is smooth sailing.

Vas, I got the Riddick games of steam a while back but every now and then when I try to boot it the screen gets all out of whack, like it goes black and white it freaks out in general. That happen to you?

Slogging through Dead Space now and it's basically The Thing game in the same setting as Doom 3. I give it 2 prolapsed anuses out of 10 tranny orgies.

Deus Ex, nearing the end, sort of losing interest.

Word.


Btw how's the remake? (If that's what you're playing)

It's like a first-person shooter with some RPG-elements plugged in. Play it with that in mind and you won't be disappointed. That's all there is to it. :bored: The shooter mechanics work a bit different, but that's pretty much it. If it were a brand game, it'd be called Call of Duty: Tank Warfare or some shit.

I got it. It's still quality, but it seems my taste in humor has evolved over the years. What was once uproaringly hilarious in it when I was a kid elicits a mental "hey, that's cute".

Yeah, figures. So, with the new gfx and voice acting is it really worth it, or am I better off getting Super Meat Boy instead?

Strange thing as of late, with the exception of a couple indies and some flash games, I'm having the hardest time getting any new games, and end up playing some oldies instead.
