RPGmasterBoo Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I was thinking of getting GTA IV to finally play my countryman but I'm still wondering how playable the game is? Everyone I know says it runs horribly, so has anybody any idea how it would run on my rig?

A lot of bugs have been fixed since the patches have came out that smooth a lot of it out. I wouldnt worry to much.
Rosbjerg Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 The patches have made the game run progressively worse for me.. first it just crashed, then after the first patch the game would run at double speed, now it suffers from massive memory leaks.. I wish I'd never wasted money on that game. Fortune favors the bald.
GreasyDogMeat Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Shame the PC port sucks, cause I'm loving it on my 360. I especially enjoyed The Lost and Damned.
Gizmo Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) I ordered Baldur's Gate off Amazon so I look forward to playing that in a couple days. It comes with Tales of the Sword Coast, which I never played, so I'm interested in seeing that. I never laughed so hard in that one as when I polymorphed a certain NPC into a squirrel, only to have that squirrel burst into a 7' werewolf a minute later. Edited August 17, 2009 by Gizmo

PC Port is good, i would be surprised really if the xbox looks better then the settings i have my PC on. The complaints were mostly because people couldn't max out there settings in the game, due to the dependancy on the CPU. My settings aren't set high at all but it looks great still! I just wish it had AA because on a computer monitor unlike a tv one is going to see that easier.

Polymorphing Firkraag into a squirrel and not realizing that he still has all his abilities in his new form was funny. Squirrel: Breath Weapon Squirrel hit <CHARNAME> for 129 damage <CHARNAME>: Death
Tigranes Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 My epic BG-TOTSC-BG2-TOB saga seems to have come to an end - a bug with Balthazar battle due to the mods where the conversation keeps looping. No matter, there was only Melissan left. I haven't played a lot of games in the last 6 months, I suspect it'll remain the case until Alpha Protocol if ETW doesn't fix itself. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Hurlshort Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I reached the city in my game of Baldur's Gate. Kivan and Viconia don't seem to be getting along, I'm wondering if it will come to blows. Viconia rocks, but I do have two clerics (Branwen) so I might have to side with Kivan. I'm keeping Xan as my mage, and boy is he tough to keep alive. He gains like 1 hp each level. I ended up in Candlekeep at level 4, which was a mistake. I think I'll find an earlier save and tool around BG some more before heading into the later chapters.
Deraldin Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'm going through Watcher's Keep right now. Just hit the third level and that damn maze with the really annoying wild/dead magic zones. I cheated when I first picked up Imoen in Spellhold and used Shadowkeeper to make her a single class thief to give her some better thief abilities before I dualled her over, but I've had to go through most of the game now without access to those thief skills. I'm about 100k experience from unlocking those thief abilities again, then it's on to Kangaxx and blatantly cheating a second Ring of Gaxx with the pickpocket bug. After that I'll have finished everything that I want to do in SoA and I can go move on to ToB.
Tagaziel Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. My bro got it in a bundle with Far Cry 2 for little over 17$. Interesting game, but my mouse suffers from weird problems. HMIC for: [ The Wasteland Wiki ] [ Pillars of Eternity Wiki ] [ Tyranny Wiki ]

I wish I'd never wasted money on that game. So its basically a lottery, it might work fine or it might not work at all. I'll just have to get hold of one and try it out on my PC before I buy it.

mkreku Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Except when I ran into a Troll near a Aztec/Mayan pyramid and got slaughtered. The funny thing about the trolls is that they're one of the easiest enemies in the game! All you have to do is run in really close to it and then circle strafe around it while constantly poking it with your sword. Just make sure to stay behind his back. Trolls turn very slowly so you'll basically be continually backstabbing it. Or, since you're so small compared to them, buttstabbing them.

I'm currently fuming over a corrupted save in the Valley of Mines which fortunately lost me only half an hour of gameplay.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I've gotten to the Black Mesa East "cutscene" in Half-life 2... ugh. So pointless. But I really want to get to that 10000 achievement points mark, so I'll keep playing. Edited August 18, 2009 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "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!"
Purkake Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Next up is Ravenholm, it's super sweet and you get to have lots of fun with your gravity gun.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I actually thought that was pretty meh the first time around. It's not really scary, but what mostly got to me where the endlessly spawning zombies (There's a special circle of hell for this). Not to mention the level design is just... weird. There's always a very specific way to go somewhere and searching for it reminds me of those point-and-click adventure games. If I want scary, I'll get the Nightmare house mod. I need to stop bitching about Half-life 2. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I actually thought that was pretty meh the first time around. And the second time, and the third... not to mention the episodes. Part 2 was ok but the first one was really boring. Half-life 2 really is tremendously overrated, but it has this weird power to make that 1/100 weird guy really crazy about it without being able to explain why.
