Oh my god, I knew it was bad but not this bad... it seems people on the guru3D thread are less than impressed too with this release... by the way sorry eZ' if I casued you any greif on the other thread I was kinda half joking... sorry your experience has been so bad. What a shame as rockstar have ...

[quote]I have seen this, 25k whisked away while he was on hols in the UK :(

Wow , I wish I had 25k for them to whisk away! :lol:
It's all updated n stuff now anyway, and I believe GTA4 requires SP3 anyway? So it's lucky coincidence I got the push now.

But GTA 4 has evil DRM on it! I'm ...

Well I love Vista x64 :) The transition was almost painless from 32-bit Vista, which was okay, but I wanted more memory... oh but now all my 16-bit apps don't work :( *cries* Ack well they were crap anyway.

I couldn't dump that ugly Windows XP quick enough.

p.s. Crysis FPS boost with Vista ...

Okay how did you get in there, I could never accept that quest cos I got stuck there too many times, little help?

That happened to me before and it's a pain in the arse. The doors SHOULDN'T be closed it's a bug (yeah yeah another bug) but try looking in from the side, I had killed most of the ...

Re: PDA in tunnel... I found out how to do it!!! lol I love this game :D

EDT: now i'm suck again, eliminating the bandits at their base... i think at garbage all the doors are closed, how the hell do I get in?

I got stuck there too! died losing half a days play:


Yeah it does take a little while to get into it, as in all my other posts, I hated it, but grew to love it after 5 hours of playing. Once the bugs were fixed it was awesome. Yes the swap is shit house, but Cordon will make you love it ...

Good points.

I am still getting settings correct as yet. HAven't even stepped out of the first building.

THese sort of games need to be tweaked before getting into them.


EDIT: GOd I really do hope it gets better.

Is the map supposed to be blurry and hard to read and follow ...

It should land today or tomorow.

Bring et.

Woo hoo JohnnyWakko!!

May I suggest a quick play through to get your bearings... just a couple of hours and then restart, it's made the game for me :D

I've restarted maherie and oh my god everything's working! My PDA is actually useful ...

Ouch, have you patched to the latest?

I'll have a look at my PDA for missions stats next time in game.

You need a good detctor I have the vales detcor and have it out 99% of the time so that's how I do it.

I take my time, if a mission cancels it's fine with me but it it fails it ...

Osuperman, how you going?

Oh god damn it! I'm doing quite badly, nope, REALLY badly - no stashes are showing up anywhere on my PDA despite me paying a shed load of money for them, missions are failing/completing continually (71 missions accepted, 43 completed (YAY!), 27 failed (Hu ...

Often a certain base is under attack and you will receive a message asking you to help them. If somehow the base defends itself successfully or being overrun by the attackers before your arrival there offering any help, the task will be canceled. I think this is what you are referring to? If so ...

Thanks werewolph! Oh well Dx10 it is!

Well it ARRIVED!!!!!!!! I am playing it just now!!

Firstly the engine update is beautiful, but sooo sloooow, I've had to drop a lot of the eye candy to get smooth frames rates at 1920 x 1200. Hopefully maherie, it'll get better as the game progresses ...

Hey maherie it's been posted to me (yay!) so shouldn't be too long... by the way, you have almost identical spec to me (bar the Galapagos hard drive! lol), E6600, 4GB RAM, 8800GTX, Dell 2407, I was wondering, do you game at 1920 x 1200 on Clear Sky? Can we use the DX10.1 code paths on the 8800GTX ...

Sweet, no problems. And hey - I'm still playing so feel free to discuss in here, I'm only about half way if that, so I'm only probably 10-15 hours in front because I only really play once a week. So we can go through it together.

EDIT: on second thought, Im going to start fresh, get a new game ...

I'm clearly the odd one ... :lol:

Oh no you're not!! I completely agree with you, though I think the effect is somewhat lesser in the Source engine, I for one, couldn't play HL1 as I hated the slidey slidey nature of Dr Freeman's footsteps and continually falling off platforms and such. I am ...

Thanks for the screenshots eZ' !

If the game is as fun as it looks I'll try the demo the 11th. I might get Clear sky first though as I can only afford one game purchase a month...

Actually, eZ' (or anyone who has tried both,) which would you recommend Left4Dead or Stalker Clear Sky?

Thanks maherie!

This is the good news I wanted to hear. I've never waited for such a hotly anticipated title like this before, usually I just go out and buy it first day but with Clear Sky I didn't want to be disappointed... of course the major drawback to that is if you wait just a few weeks ...

Hey Guys, sorry to bump the old thread but...

I didn't end up buying this game (what!?) well all the reviews were pretty negative, and well nobody was overly enamored with it on release, so I thought it was worth a wait and see... sooo...

I'd like to ask; now that patch 1.5.07 is out, and ...

Hey eZ'

Is this game going to offer anything to a single player or is it multi player only? I've not much call for multi player games as I prefer the intensity of playing myself, (esp. scary games!) plus I have no friends :D

Although I feel somewhat guilty, posting in a thread about a game I've not played (and now have zero intention of buying)... However this sense of Déjà vu is over whelming.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's all because of those DAMNED CONSOLES! We get stuck with cheapo ports ...
