I upgraded my computer awhile ago to about 2008 standards. (4870). I've been playing Doom 3 and it's expansion. Fun stuff in my mind. Mindless, but solid with a bit of exposition and ammo management. Plus good, if not great tension.
I was finally able to play Crysis. Yay! Very High settings (but not extreme) in the 40 FPS range. It looks stunning. Beautiful. And the game was fun to me. I rarely used the suit, played on notch below suicide difficulty and had fun. Perhaps a little too many cutscenes but you can hit the <Esc> key.
Because I liked it so much I bought the Warfare version with Psycho, just because I wanted more. It was a good romp. Short, but as the reviews say, more of the same with a little more action.
I liked all three of them. Not sure which was better but.
There isn't much better, I asked this a while ago. These things seem better because they were the last of the breed. Unless I'm missing something. I have STALKER in my steam pile (the first one) but haven't gotten into it yet so can't judge.
I also, as I was a huge Enemy Territory fan, bought the new Wolfenstien, I'm not sure what they call it but like remakes of new movies I think they just called it Wolfensiten.
It sucks. Compass, (Crysis has it), people guiding you, maps (Crysis has it). Why does the modern Wolf seem like such a peice of shit? I can't drag myself to continue on, I feel ripped off. Dammit.
Anyways, you guys are judging a game by it's pre-alpha pirated copy? Why the fuck don't you wait a year for the patches? Why waste your time. Plus as much as I enjoyed the romp through both Crysis and Warhead (and couldn't finish COD), you know it's going to be a COD.
I think it will be, they told us that a few years ago.
I hope STALKER is okay. I tried MetroXXXX at my dads place and it was pretty, and he's 63 years old. Don't expect much. At all. I think I'm running out of good solid shooters.
