Meshugger Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Question: Aside from all the DRM bull, how is the performance? I heard some really nasty stuff about it, meaning horrendous no matter what.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Graphics were never a strong point for GTA games anyway. Its all about the sex, blood and violence. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 That's some awful looking game there LC. Graphic 'ho. It's 4 years old after all, using an engine that's probably even older. I remember when Dungeon Siege1 came out 6? 7? years ago and how everyone thought it was so gorgeous for an isometric perspective. lol It's slow to really get going, but the game is fun...unless you just hate hack n slash on principle, of course. As I often say, no such genre game will do anything to change anyone's mind on that. Anyway, w/gamma darker and video higher it can look a smidgen better. Contrast washes out badly if you turn the gamma up to see, the textures seem soft overall, and up close, chrs./monsters have what I call chunky-butt polygon syndrome. But I still like it. “Things are as they are.

Hassat Hunter Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Since it doesn't have ingame AA and AF options, you have to turn them on with your videocardcontrolcenter. Most people don't though, which make the graphics look worse than they are. Even then, the AA doesn't show on screenshots. Do you use Broken World? Ah... no I am forced to post my own, no? ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

LadyCrimson Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 No, I'm not using BW yet. I bought it since it was cheap, but I heard it changes levelup/power/chr. formulas or something - plus I'm a little worried about the inn-bug if you import your party I heard about - so I'm waiting till I finish the original game at least once. I'm almost there. “Things are as they are.

Hassat Hunter Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Aye... Ironically that dreaded Inn-bug only appears when you import a DS2 save, a save (through the DS2 campaign) using BW doesn't have that risk... And yes, it does nerf all skills and certain item attributes (lower armor). Oddly enough they forgot to do that with the pets, making them far more viable than NPC teammates.

Bokishi Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Note how Bok doesn't show the frame rate in those pictures. It's shame. It actually runs good most of the time (30-40 fps) although there's the occasional hiccup. I'll post some fraps shots in a bit Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theseus Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) 2560X1600 resolution Bok with 35FPS on average? damnnnnnn I wonder how it would play on my rig at 1024X768 resolution with shadows and stuff at minimal but textures and draw distance nearly maxed. I have C2D E6600 2gigs 800Mhz Ram 8800GT (new drivers came out for Forceware that help GTA4 everyone!) XFi SOundcard Running Windows XP SP3 Think i could get the same fps rate Bok? Bah 35 on average would be playable for me. Bok is that with the Dynamic replay on? Edited December 7, 2008 by Theseus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 DS2 has an easter egg level that, among other things, is filled with game-maker persona chrs standing around in many rooms, most with things to say if you click on them. It was kinda cool. The most fun, tho, was "meeting" Chris Taylor, who wa very busy having a pillow fight....and then "stealing" his pillow. Now time to try Broken World. After doing all the stuff to avoid the inn bug (no mods needed, either), I decided to start from scratch anyway, cause I got PO'd at the way BW's lvl 39 npc's are built, compared to what I'd turned them into. “Things are as they are.

Maria Caliban Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I managed to get Prince of Persia to run at 7-10 FPS at the lowest settings. And promptly ran into a bug.. "When is this out.
