Widescreen Gaming Forum

I'm not here to enter a bitch fest.

Yeah you are.
You took a perfectly innocent post trying to help you and you twisted it to me somehow belittling your intelligence.

I'm telling you I was not.

As if the help I've given in the hardware forum to earn the Hardware Insider badge was a misplaced insignia.

As if my reputation on this forum means I would belittle you for no reason.

the game feels very console like in it's movement, aim, look and camera angles. It's also very confusing control wise. I see no way to access the map and datalogs. I press the numbers designated for them and the wheel with the weapons on it comes on screen instead.

I found the controls kind of hard to get used to instead , flawless with a360 control pad though.
Game also seems really optimized graphically , i dont usually get to put absoloute maximum for everything and it looks amazing

Like I said, I could live with the movement, aim, and camera angles if it just ran smoothly for me. I'm not about to dump a lot of cash into parts I won't likely keep very long though. Still holding out for my dream Nehalem rig. The games releasing lately aren't bad, but they're not great IMO.

There's going to be a lot of good games come out soon by good devs like IW, Id, Valve, etc, so I can wait a bit longer through these,..meh, whatever games. Those are the truly talented teams. Funny how the bigger corporate types can afford to but never beta test very well.

That being said, this game does have some spectacular moments, like the part where you toss boulders in the beam and release the big asteroid while creepy crawlies go zero G jumping at you. I like smacking them after they're dead and watching the blood float in the air as their grotesque corpses float toward me. However the constant rinse and repeat monster closet element takes a toll on me when the st, st, stuttering kicks in.

Paddy, lets not continue to duke it out. Maybe it was just my assumption you were dissing my ability to setup a gaming rig. Either, way, it's not worth a fight. :wink:

Hm isn't this a Dead Space thread?

Dead Space - Yay!

COD5 - Meh.

Maybe time to start a WaW thread... using the same engine, i assume it has hor+

It is ...

I split the Call of Duty: World at War posts to a discussion here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14879

Well good.

*Spoiler*
PS - found a little Dead Space tidbit:

Take the first leter of the name pf every level and you get "Nicole is Dead".

argh! why did i read the spoiler...

me = dumbass.

Anywho, was going to add another +1 to dead space being a lot better than expected. Absolutely no flaws so far. Only up to level 5... so ages to go. Fallout 3 is sitting upopened though next to it. Just picked them both up. Trying to get DS out of the way so i can waste 100 hrs into fallout.

So far I'm still only on Level 2 on Dead Space :P

I got Fable II and Dead Space on the same day, and I really liked Dead Space, but I was too distracted by Fable 2. Then I got Far Cry 2 the day after, which was mediocre so I haven't had much interest in it yet. Then a few days later I got Little Big Planet, so I was then juggling that will Fable II so I was even more distracted. Then a few more days later I got Fallout 3, and now I'm juggling all three of those still. Then on Friday morning I got Gears of War 2, which I was totally hooked on until I finished it last night. Lol

On top of that I keep trying to Dead Space after dark, so that also limits my options a bit as well.

Oh yeah, and I've been playing Warhammer Online and I finally picked up Ratchet & Clank Future as well, was hoping for a price drop, but I finally stopped caring a few weeks ago and picked it up anyway.

Ugh... Gaming overload >_<

i picked up both fallout3 and dead space at the same time, as you did. fallout3 was so buggy though, i ended up starting with dead space by default.

I really liked the game, but i don't think i'll play it again.

But i was a little disappointed that the end-credits don't have a good music like for example "The Thing".

Gtf over it censorship-Buddha.

I agree. It's not as wide as it should be ! We're missing valuable pixels of blood :(

If he cropped it then it would be vert- though...

Glad I could help bring a sparkle to your day.

Yes, it's missing some spray but that's as wide as the original. Not cropped. Must've been made by DICE.

If it wasn't so obviously fake I would not have used it. Don;t worry, in the next photot she's playing with a puppy.

And believe me, i have worse.

Hm i guess I should go finish the game...

Wider is better ...

<--- Yoink!

Thanks, I'm sure DC-TeaAge will appreciate it

I'd rather see some vert+ here. Looks like we're missing a couple of key components a little below.

Just finished Dead Space, quite a game, but I hope the Creative card I just bought will cure the severe audio related stuttering I'm getting. It wasn't easy aiming with the heinous hitching.

I just started a 2nd round and now have a level 6 suit that's fully upgraded. I'm only using the Plasma Cutter this time as I'm finding it's very good fully upgraded. I found it to be the best weapon for the final boss fight.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the level 5 suit actually looks better than the level 6 suit? I might think otherwise had they not changed the color of it but it even looks more dull in texture.

Hm i didn't think the suits went up to level 6. I just got teh level 4 suit a level back and though i was close-ish to the end.

I guess I'm wrong, unless i missed a suit schematic and the game only gives them out in succession... at that rate the guy will be nothing but armour plates by games' end.

You didn't miss anything, when you beat the game you'll get some nice unlocks for the next round. I won't spoil it for you though, any more than I already have. I just don't think the level 6 suit looks as good that's all. The lighting doesn't look as good on it either. With the level 5 suit Isaac looks like a bronze reptile with a bright metallic sheen, kinda cool.
