Cantousent Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

metadigital Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 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 music is fab! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Dark Moth Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 I should stop playing WC3. It's the one RTS I just seem to always suck at. <_<
metadigital Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 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). Also playing the original Tomb Raider on the PSone ... currently enjoying the Colosseum level. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Dark Moth Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 My main gripe with WC3 and Frozen Throne is that they seem to focus too much on heroes. 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".
213374U Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 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. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

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. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Nartwak Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I just got through playing Emily Short's Savoir Faire. I looked up how to get the last lousy point though, so I lose. I'm going to try Gourmet next.
Cantousent Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 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.

213374U Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 How can a $500 video card suck? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Llyranor Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 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. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Haitoku Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 How is Legend of Zelda? Have you learned to love it yet?
Llyranor Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 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. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Haitoku Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 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.

Llyranor Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 The PlayStation 3 is not a game machine. We've never once called it a game machine. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
213374U Posted May 29, 2006 Posted May 29, 2006 I rest my case, ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
