How awesome does metro 2033 look. I think this will take over Crysis for benchmarking now.

chicaboo · 31-03-2010, 08:15 PM

I might jump on Metro 2033 when the price comes down [and I agree about the GFX for now]. But I'm looking at getting COD MW2 and Wolfenstein next.

The games that have been taking up my time lately are Tomb Raider Underworld and Legend [both completed in that order

], and currently playing through Pure, Sega Rally, and CMR DiRT 2. I've finished a few games on 360 and PC this year too.

RustyKaos · 31-03-2010, 08:17 PM

At the moment I'm stuck on FFXIII and Heavy Rain but I have Just Cause 2 and Metro 2033 here ready to roll as well. Also pick up God Of War 3 big collectors box tomorrow. YAY!!

chicaboo · 31-03-2010, 08:32 PM

Did Eidos fark up JC2 like they did with both Tomb Raider games? ie: feels like a beta with heaps of bugs, poor camera/field view...

Gav.

RustyKaos · 01-04-2010, 07:46 AM

Haven't actually played it yet as other games to finish first but a couple of guys at work are raving on about the grappling hook.

SwarleyAUS · 01-04-2010, 11:08 PM

eeesssshhh yeah same feeling here chicaboo, i can only hope they fixed it like DICE fixed Bad Company 2 post-beta release... picking it up from southy EB 2moz =) but yeah there are other ways and means by which u can get good games *cough*... XD yeah Metro 2003 and GTA4 are now the only 2 games i cant run on full... time get a new gfx card me thinkz

yeah just cause 2 is ok... but the grapple isnt as strong as one would like... you see videos of 747s pulling jeeps into the air... thats a modded game... i can mod it on Pc - with an app called BOLOPatch - but i dont see how anyone on a console could do that.

chicaboo · 12-04-2010, 10:31 PM

PC games always look better, but you have the continual $$$ to spend on the inevitable upgrade path to consider [think Crysis, etc...], and you miss out on the gamer score points.

I like consoles too, but I just wish they could do more PC type stuff. At least PC games are often cheaper when available.

SwarleyAUS · 12-04-2010, 11:42 PM

well dont forget theres Xfire - it does stats such as hours played of what game and what level your at... and its not all that dissimilar to RustyKaos' signature. yeah but with eb and the like theres the down side that they dont do tradeins grrrrrr... n i just spent 900$ on my pc 5 months ago and now i need to upgrade at a cost of about 600$ again so i can play metro on full =D YAY!

chicaboo · 13-04-2010, 12:01 AM

Yeah, but Metro 2033 and Crysis 2 at full settings will laugh at your Xfire!

I had 2XHD4850s for a while, and they didn't fare up to Warhead so well.

I've currently got a 3ghz C2Q with a single HD5770, and I'm not sure Xfiring would cope with Crysis 2. So it might be easier to get it on the 360 and enjoy gamer score with rougher graphics.

Gav.

SwarleyAUS · 13-04-2010, 08:50 AM

WHAT!! I can run crysis on full with a 4850! Warhead i can nearly run on full!! And that's a stock card!!

chicaboo · 13-04-2010, 10:42 AM

Crysis is fine... But what about in Warhead at the end level with all those Matrix inspired squids flying around?

Warhead was really taxing on my system for some reason.

I'm just worried a 3.0gz C2Q and 2xHD5770 won't cope with Crysis 2 when it's relesed.

BGSP · 13-04-2010, 11:56 PM

Since I reached the highest level [70] on COD MW2, I started playing COD WAW the other day. I had an online game with Matt tonight, and we had the best time. This game might get overshadowed by MW2, but it's really worth checking it out, and finding a gun you like and sticking with it! Go for the Thomspon, MP40 [when unlocked] for short to medium range, and the BAR and Type100 [when unlocked] for medium to long range work. The DP-28 and Type 99 are very good for medium to long range, but I find them hard to see with, and slow to site. I'm a hopeless sniper, so I don't get into the rifles, so you'd have to work them out for yourselves. The Double Barrelled Shotgun is fun to use after you unlock Sleight of Hand.

But it's pretty useless for anything but the really tight/small maps... Calling in Killstreaks is much easier in this game [no need for an airdrop...], but you can't choose them. It's a game worth checking out, even if you passed on it when it came with your console.

Gav.

chicaboo · 04-07-2010, 09:56 PM

Since campers have ruined MW2, I've ordered Battlefied Bad Company 2, so I look forward to having some matches with Steve after I've completed the SP campaign.

RustyKaos · 05-07-2010, 02:33 PM

Only played single player (refuse to pay for live gold) and it was an awesome game.

chicaboo · 05-07-2010, 08:37 PM

I got Live Gold on a special offer, and now they have just offered it to me cheap again, so that is a nice surprise!
