I LOVE Lords of Shadow. I just 110%ed the PS3 version, DLC and everything. The game is really well balanced in terms of story and gameplay and all that. The combat system is actually pretty deep if you bother to go beyond the basic moves.
The ONLY thing about the PC version was that some of the command prompts were mis-labeled, like in the first mission in the cathedral where you and Zobek have to push up the stones that are descending from the ceiling to get through the tunnel and get the Cloister Key. I had to go to GameFaqs to realize that it was just a mistake in the prompt, not my timing.
@TS You need to play some more games in the action hack and slash genre. Castlevania: LoS is great, but its combat is high-mid at best this gen.
Sadly, not too many of them are available on PC, so youâd need a console to play most of them. LoS2 is at least hitting PC when its released, so Iâll probably play it on PC(havenât touched the demo yet that came with Mirrors of Fate on console.)
Yeah I played a lot of it awhile ago, easily the best free-roaming MP Iâve ever played (havenât gotten GTAV yet)
Spent probably like 10 hours over one weekend doing stupid boat stunts, abusing the grappling hooks, driving down hills, trolling people who werenât in "the posse"
Good times. Itâs almost enough to make me say âpc gaming master raceâ
I played DayZ when it was fresh and interesting, then they patched it into a pile of shit rubbish game with all these bullshit tweaks to make the game different. The result was a horrible mess.
DayZ isnât something thatâs worth money, itâs like a cool little mod/tech demo that quickly becomes uninteresting.
System reqs are nuts for a console port of a PS3/360 game:
Minimum:
OS: XP or Vista or 7 or 8 Processor: Intel Core i5 2400
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTS 450
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 25 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card
Recommended:
OS: XP or Vista or 7 or 8
Processor: Intel Core i7 3770
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 650
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 25 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card
Wtf @ an i5 minimum requirements.
This new PC version includes all three DLC missions: Blade Wolf, Jetstream, and VR Missions, in addition to all customized body upgrades for Raiden, including: White Armor, Inferno Armor, Commando Armor, Raidenâs MGS4 body, and the ever-popular Cyborg Ninja.
âCUTSCENESâ added to the Main Menu. Play any and all cutscenes.
âCODECSâ added to the Main Menu. Play all and any codec conversation scenes.
Added to the CHAPTER Menu the Boss Stage, enabling to play only the Boss battles.
âGRAPHIC OPTIONSâ added to the OPTIONS Menu. Modify resolution, anti-aliasing, etc.
There is an option reading âZANGEKIâ that will modify the amount of cuts you can make.
I think I might get the console version of MG:R instead of PC(the requirements make me the think the port might be terrible.)
All DLC became free on console, right? If I donât snag a copy around Christmas, Iâll wait it out to hear impressions on the PC version. If you need the recommended specs to hit 60 FPS at semi-high settings(like an i7, the game seems very processor heavy) then I wonât bother.
Some interesting free indie games I found through TheFreeBundlie.com, the first two being Deathmatch-oriented shooters:
Half of em are by the same guy, his site has a learning curve to navigating it, but itâs worth checking out.
In other news, my gf bought me Overgrowth for xmas, and Uplay is a gigantic pain in the ass when youâre trying to play Rayman Legends and it wants to spend 10 minutes updating before youâre allowed to start.
Still donât know why youâd want to go from Q3Aâs huge library of pro maps and mods, to paying a subscription for QLâs limited selection of default maps + a handful of custom maps they bought off the designers. I do like the couple Q2 remake maps they added, and some of the new HUD options, but itâs just not worth it. The QL pub scene is just as dead as Q3 at this point, so either way youâre better off organizing private games with friendsâŚat which point Q3A is way more practical.
Just got the newest Humble Bundle, Bit Trip Beat (on accident, meant to get Fate), Monaco, and Divekick. Donât know if Iâll need a controller for any of them. BTW, has anyone tried out The Stanley Parable or Dust: An Elysian Tail? They look pretty interesting, but I donât know how good they are.
