Hurlshort Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 This thread took a hilarious turn When I say GTA style sandbox, I don't really mean GTA4, which actually departed from the formula quite a bit of the previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Avalanche arent exactly renowned for caring much about quality of.. well, anything. So Im not touching this. The first game was so broken it was a joke, its baffling how the studio can still keep open.

Purkake Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) The first one sucked so much because it was supposed to be a XBOX game, but they had to quickly port it to the 360 when it came out and the original XBOX pretty much disappeared. Looking at the videos and previews this one seems pretty decent and well-polished. Not to mention crazy-fun. EDIT: Their last game, The Hunter, which is a browser based hunting game with a modern graphics engine(somewhere around the first STALKER level), was actually pretty good from what I've heard.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Looks like a fun rent at best. "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.

Purkake Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 There's supposed to be a demo out pretty soon so you can all try it. I'm not telling you to buy it, just making sure you're aware of its existence. I'm guessing it will be a super fun game like Red Faction: Guerrilla where the story/characters aren't really the focus.

mkreku Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ok, so I downloaded the demo off of Steam and played the 30 minutes that you're allowed to play per session. Those were the best 30 minutes of mindless destruction I have ever played. This game is now on pre-order. (also, it runs extremely well on my 5870, with everything on max and 1920x180 resolution) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

mkreku Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Seriously, I am addicted to those 30 minute sessions now. I've been playing it over and over all evening! The area you're allowed to explore is huge.. but it's such a tiny part of the entire map!! Unbelievably big game! Those 30 minutes are just enough to complete a mission, but I do wish you'd be able to play for as long as you wanted. I would love to just explore the land at my own pace. Is it wrong of me to hope for a "crack" (removing the time limit) for this demo..? I mean, I have the game on pre-order already, but it's three weeks until it's released! A time limit remover wouldn't be so bad, would it? :/ Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhailian Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Managed to get a nice helicopter and dune buggy on my first run. However, the chopper got shot out from underneath me before I left the base I found it in. :/ Note: The camera is a bit too drunk and swervy for my tastes. It must be interesting with 3d enabled. Edited March 5, 2010 by Mikhailian But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 By the way, the game(and the demo) requires Vista or Windows 7 to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I played the first one on pc.. and while it was crazy fun in it's way... but after a certain point it was just.. doing the same thing again..and again..and again. I can't quite remember where the tipping point was.. It makes me wonder how much this one will be like that.. "It's another mission where you use the grapple in a crazy way to break into a prison/army base/political house , rip off drug-dealers , kill some official/drugbaron/military officer.. cause several explosions, then ride a vehicle off a cliff while parachuting away to safely." Fun in doses.. but it was a bit hard to string an entire storyline to that.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Going by other people's comments this is way better than the first one. Check out the demo, if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Aaiih, I am still playing it! I've found so many weird and wonderful things! It's so overwhelming! And it's only like 3% of the entire game!!

SadExchange Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) I have played and replayed the Xbox 360 version quite a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I did play the first one for the pc and had a good time. I also tried Just Cause 2 on the pc with my new rig consisting of a AMD Quad @ 3.2 with 8 GB of Ram and a Nvidia 275 GTX, but for some reason, my game freezes up 4-5 minutes into the demo, from steam. Also, for the pc, does anyone else have weird shadow/darkness in the beginning cinematic? I have to be honest, I like the controls a lot more on the xbox than the pc this time around. Maybe I'm just getting too used to a controller than a mouse and keyboard. From some reason, the pc version seems "shifty" when moving around.

Orogun01 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Looks like a mix between Farcry 2 and Gadget man I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

mkreku Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Also, for the pc, does anyone else have weird shadow/darkness in the beginning cinematic? Yes, everytime there's a cut-scene actually. I think it's some kind of filter that's not working properly. Perhaps they went for a "grainy movie" kind of filter effect, but on my Radeon 5870 it looks more like a graphical error.

SadExchange Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Yeah, same here, Glad someone else is getting it. I have somewhat of a hard time with the pc mouse and keyboard, but with a xbox controller, it works like a charm. Looks great, does anyone know how you can check your FPS?

Warren Bills Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I find myself drawn to these open world/sandbox games, but I usually have trouble finishing them. At first, the prospect of exploring an open world sounds really fun, but I find that without a strong narrative to push the game forward, I usually end up doing a bunch of random stuff then getting bored. It was pretty much this way with GTA3, Mercernaries 2 and of course Morrowind and Oblivion, among others. On the other hand the base jumping and parachuting look incredibly fun and I like the over the top action so the demo definitely interests me. im the same way & i promised myself i wouldnt buy another open world game after the very stale The Saboteur.. i cant find it in myself to finish sandbox games anymore(still havent finished gta4.. but i have been seduced by just cause 2 & i love the demo(except for my sniper rifle not working.

Nightshape Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I work with a couple of folks who worked on JC 1 + 2... Quiet Swedes, and that's all I have to say about that. Yeah, everyone Ive met from the dev team are really nice people. Their problem is probably with the management, who seem to take all the wrong turns and put their money on really horrible game ideas. Pretty much what they said... They sacked the entire Gameplay team at one point. I won't be buying JC 2. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
