@topgear well actually that pict need no introduction.
if you had read my previous posts you could have easily guessed it. i think almost everyone here knows it.

anyways its from halo 3.

 

[dinjo_jo]

Point is when you are passing the info pass it clearly.

 

[quan chi]

^^point noted and i do that for the ones which are not that popular.well i apologize if i havent posted any name in any of my posts before.

god of war,gears of war and halo are such titles that needs no intro.
even people who have not played it can recognize it with any kind of pic related to it.

since its a gaming section i presume people visiting here atleast old members should be familiar with these titles.
on the other hand well i do know there might be few exceptions.therefore if they dosent get it i will surely reply. otherwise other members are also here to help them.

Good for you, did you do all the unmarked side quests as well(not like oasis but like "Economics Of Violence?")

Anyway exams gone, back to full time gaming, here's some latest goods:

Dark Sector:
Nice game, can't believe I missed it before.

Now, Borderlands:

Game is not bad but those who compared it to Fallout 3 should get their eyes checked(and their minds to while at it). Nothing special, generic FPS, get points and level up but no skill system like Fallout 3, not even the SPECIAL system which sucks, even mass effect had skill points to increase your skills, so this as an RPG is Epic Fail, but as an FPS is quite good, lots of weapons(most are gimmick, so actually a lot less weapons than Fallout 3), enemies lack variety, 6hrs in game and all I see are skags, lots of them, big small, medium, large, extra large etc etc(and one pair of flying birds), lets see, in Fallout 3 in first 6 hours I met, dogs, mole rats, boat flies, rad scorpions, yao guais, ants, mire lurks not to mention non organic creatures like robots.

So, since promoted as a RPG 6.5/10 from me(7.5 for a FPS)

damn i dont know if they will ever release halo3.

[bippukt]

So stick to your DX9 card for now, I won't recommend buying a DX11 GPU till I see a game which:
1.Looks as good as crysis.
2.Taxes my PC like crysis.
3.Most importantly- Looks way better in DX11 mode than in DX9.

By the look of things that day is far far away(best case 2010- crysis 2, worst case 2011-12)

Making games with such requirements will only be shooting themselves in the foot. Shrinking your customer base is a bad idea. More flexibility in graphics options? Yes, sir!

tired of waiting for halo3.started halo combat evolved. beautiful halo ring.

Yup, many will recognize it from pic with no intro necessary but
everyone had not played all sorts of games on all sort of platforms available.
Pic tempts people so much so someone might want to get a game but they will have no clue without the name.

Anyway, Thanks for informing. Those screenies looks great

Anyway exams gone, back to full time gaming, here's some latest goods:

Dark Sector:

Nice screen shots buddy. You tempted me to get this one. BTW, is it perfectly playable with KB+Mouse or I will have to use a gamepad anyway ??

Actually the borderlands is kinda bit simillar to serious sam 2's run and gun action. Have installed it on Nov. but played it only for 1 hour.

=====================================================

Discovered White House in FO3 but I could not find a a entrance door into that building. I was barely managed to reach into a plane crach landing area which is highly radiated and got 3 mini-nukes.

BTW, Playing Ridddick AODA -

Delivered the data pad to datcher. He stooped that fan. I jumped down. Took control of that turret/bot control system. Man it was a real fun . ****ed all the hostile human bots and now heading forward with assault rifle.

This game is really good though I had some minor gfx issues.

yes pal thats why i have also mentioned that in my next post.dont worry from next time i will do.

I did some of those quests like the Queen And Pheromones for Stanly, escorting Cherry to Rivet City from Drukov, Escorting Sticky from Little Lamplight fro Big Town[thats how i got the location of Bigtown, lucky me ].
Now collecting bobbleheads, only one Vault Tech bobblehead remaining [Endurance].
Now at level 17.

Dark sector is perfectly playable with KB+Mouse, you can use mouse in menus too, so not a bad port, aiming is also pretty sensitive, the only issue I have is Aspect ratio, the game has a fixed 16:9 AR, so if you play @ non HD AR(1440x900,1680x1050) game is stretched, so reticles appear out of proper aspect ration even the characters are stretched, and AR cannot be fixed, so no support for variable AR.

I think that bobblehead was in deathclaw sanctuary, better watch out, its a mess inside, 8-15 deathclaws are in there(upto 3 at a time), 1st time I went there I had my a$$ kicked bad, then I took out my fat man and danced around a bit

Anyway just installed Dirt 2, looks nice, plays nice, controls much more fluid than NFS shift, however cockpit view is $hit, graphics look good but HDR is overused, too much light hurts eyes, too much use of brightness makes the colour look pale when in sunlight but overall game is pretty good, a step up from the old Dirt no doubt but not that much. Lots of cars and off road setup rocks, water effects are good but looks a bit artificial at times, when running over water there's a delay between tires hitting the water and water splashing, makes the water looks a bit like concentrated syrup

8.5/10(Crysis 10/10, NFS MW- 9/10)

tkin yep dirt1 was blamed for too much overuse of hdr.i think dirt 2 used it in proportion.but in some parts like in sunlight it becomes too much bright hiding the sun or making the sun blur.othrewise its better than the previous.

Yup, I played both and both overdid it, look at the top left corner of this screenshot, overused for sure, makes all the details go hazy,

yes thats right.but in dirt 1 (though i don't have it now.)even the cars body used to shine un necessarily even if there was no direct light coming to it.it actually made it quite irritating.

Back then I had a CRT, you can guess what happened when I played Dirt, after 1hr of play my head felt like it was hit with a hammer.

You know what, quan? With ye'r words of Halo, ye tempted the sh*t outta me! I bought Halo 2. You an' me are hardcore Halo fans, ain't we? MASTER CHIEF!! MS please bring Halo 3 to PC. I'm sure gonna buy a legit copy of it, just like Crysis. NOMAD!!

@tkin: Welcome back. You know what? Exams are soon onto me. Darn! Holidays finished so fast. Sh*t! BTW, I didn't know Dark Sector had so superb graphics! Ye know how I was when I played Dark Sector for the first time? Ask Sun. It's still on my PC. Didn't uninstall it! It's on my PC for 6 mths.! And I'm still on Chapter 3 Baggage Claim. Great DiRT 2 screens. Yeah, Ego engine uses too much HDR. Nothin' can beat Crysis! You an' me are hardcore Crysis fans, aren't we? When did ye buy a DX11 card, know what I mean?
