At any rate, I still have that wonkiness with FEAR.  I don't everytime, but if I play it and quit, I can expect it somewhere along the line.  City of Heroes doesn't have a problem.

 

FEAR has all sorts of weird issues, though.  For example, sometimes I get an error message saying that the game either cannot find or authenticate the orginal CD.  Whatever the hell that means.

If it takes a while (half-an-hour from boot) to crash, and when you restart the game straight away, there is no problem for a similar amount of time, then it is probably driver-related. Otherewise, it is probably temperature-governed.

 

NVidia have some weird FEAR driver issues, I was reading, like it is the only game that has a working profile for Quad-SLI (that is faster than ordinary SLI), so I wouldn't be surprised if their drivers are a little wonky at the moment.

 

Still, there shouldn't be issues with the DVD ... you might want to try the "no-CD" crack, or copy the entire DVD to a new partition in your harddrive ...

 

 

Actually, the game runs without a hitch. I've played it hours at a time without problem. However, when I exit the game, the vast majority of the time, the screen flickers and windows doesn't respond properly.

 

I mean, my FPS don't even dip during game play or anything. Then, when I quit, everything goes haywire. The one time it didn't, City of Heroes started doing the same thing.

That sounds like either a driver conflict or (leading to) a memory leak. =]

 

Anyway, enough of TOMBS, I'm off for another bout of

The website has all the original Russian language musics (sic), which are better than the faux-Austrian impersonator (as good as that is). :D

Heh, I really liked the original WC3 game, but I uninstalled the Frozen Throne expansion before finishing the tutorial (because I hated it so much).

My main gripe with WC3 and Frozen Throne is that they seem to focus too much on heroes. :ermm: It's all about heroes in that game. If you lose your hero, you pretty much lose the backbone of your army. Too much emphasis on a single unit I think kind of defeats the purpose of "strategy".

I think that's consistent with the setting. In Ancient warfare, if an army lost its strongman, it often fell into disarray and defeat was almost assured. Getting to the point where the leader of the army was killed usually implied that things weren't going all that well, to begin with.

See, I like the Heroes. It gives the opportunity to add story and RPG elements to the RTS genre, which needed something new when Heroes showed up in our RTSs. Although I still can't enjoy RTSs the way most gamers seem to, Heroes were a good way to refresh the genre. IMHO.

:huh:

I've added DOOM 3 to my FEAR experience and now I'm afraid my video card sucks. Of course, these things happen. Wish it didn't with $500 video card purchases, but someone must take the plunge so others can learn.

 

So, you are or are not suggesting Savoir Faire, Nartwak? I could use a break from graphics whoring shooters for awhile.

How can a $500 video card suck?

Because it's a toy. If you consider the PlayStation 3 a toy, then yes, it is an expensive toy. However, it is more than a toy. It is a PlayStation 3. And it is the only PlayStation 3. I hope that those who understand this will gladly purchase it.

I just killed the Deku tree, but yes, I'm getting definite LTTP vibes here. The 3d part is quite (relatively) well-implemented. That doesn't mean 3d console camera control doesn't suck.

Cool.

 

I do remember it feeling like Link to the past ... It has a lot more exploring for one (once you get out on the worldmap) and the fact that it's 3d adds a hole new dimension to the game.

Uh... are you trying to use the Chewbacca Defense against me? :luck:

The PlayStation 3 is not a game machine. We've never once called it a game machine.

I rest my case, ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury.
