Enjoy! :D

What a pretty sunrise.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Actually that was a sunset.

Yeah..

First some crap town in the prologue, next, the world.

 

Muahahahahaha.

Woah! City guard that's on gold chevrons! Go you.

Titan Quest - I played that demo, it seemed terrible. Those screenies make it look more interesting. Improved since the demo or just prettier farther along in the game than the demo let you go?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Graphics are unchanged since the demo. You don't think this is pretty (the first screen when starting a new game)?

I think that's damn pretty.

What about the game?

My guess is the game is damn pretty too.

No, I don't think it's that pretty for a 3D game - it looked ok when zoomed out but the further you zoomed in the worse it looked to me; I didn't have it on super high AA settings or that resolution you're using, etc. tho. And not that pretty is a requirement if the game's fun.

 

The demo was very short, which could've been misleading, but the controls/viewpoint were really awkward - in the demo those early caves had some weird clipping bugs or something as you'd enter them as well as some frame rate drop issues; and the linear pathed outdoors reminded me of Dungeon Siege mapping. Some of the spells looked interesting tho. I was hoping it'd be something my D2 playing buddies might like but they didn't care for it when I asked them to check it out.

 

Unfortunately the only screen I have from the demo that I didn't delete is the one below - it's a zoomed in one.

That doesn't look pretty to you? I can see sweat on the horses mane!

 

Seriously, if all games looked like that, I wouldn't complain at all.

Guys, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the graphics are really crappy. But it didn't look as good while actually playing the game/moving around as in the still screens, if that makes sense. I'm sure it depends a lot on the system and resolution. I tried to play it at 1600x1200 but my mid-high AGP system w/it's new geforce card stuttered and dropped so I had to use 1280. Some of my friends couldn't even get the demo to run. And at 1024 it looked like a fuzzy oil painting to me. Maybe it's just my eyes and what I prefer - I like game graphics that look crisp and sharp, not painting-like. *shrug*

 

The earlier screens loaded surprised me because they didn't look anything like the demo would indicate. If you're curious, I'm sure the demo's still out there.

I doubt the game is very friendly at 1600x1200 on any AGP system.

 

 

But I play the game at 1024x768 and still get slowdowns on my Radeon X1900 XTX, so I think something is less than optimized with the code, whether it's graphical or not.

 

But I think the game looks fine at 1024x768.

I originally played through the game at 1024x768 on my old 6800 and ancient cpu and motherboard. The game could get quite jerky at times, but I still think it was as pretty then as it is now with my new system.

 

Those screenshots were taken with my new X2 4200+ and 7950GX2, and the only difference I noticed was that now it's a hell of a lot smoother (and I suppose less jaggy with the higher resolution, though jaggies weren't something I noticed much first time around.

 

Funnily enough, while LadyCrimson mentions the screenshots looking better than seeing the game running, I found the opposite, with the game looking better in action. Don't really understand the bit about the graphics not being crisp and sharp, the character's armour in LC's pic looks pretty crisp and sharp to me.

 

To each their own. Now, if only I had a turn-based party-based ancient mythological Greece that looked as good as this... *drool*

That would be sooo cool.

 

Ominous, much?

The evil Republic of Spain is spreading its influence around!

Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday coop session with Nick and alanschu.

 

Good times. 3 hrs went by in a flash.

 

1938. Me as France, Nick as UK, and jerkface as Spain. The plot thickens.

i'm going to murder you.

France should remember that it's so pitiful, that jerkface has to give him resources.

You mean, tribute.

I recall much begging on France's part for supplies from the English.

 

Never thought I'd see that happen.

Just remember who's going to be saving his sorry green butt come 1939

"we have been barely influenced by Canada"

 

LOL
