I think those who refuse to buy Gamesworks titles do so because those games run like a bucket of rusty nails on all hardware.

ignoring games purely because a hardware vendor is involved with said game is an entirely different kettle of fish and somewhat perplexing.

Really?Got any names or posts linking to those statements?

This is the first that I have ever seen, at least to that level....

The only thing, which could be considered in the same sort of league is Matt's posts on mantle games i.e. he will get any game just because it has mantle or/and will rather wait for a game to be updated with mantle support before playing it even if the game doesn't need mantle in the first place i.e. SE 3, his reasons for this are obvious though!

Just look up many of the GameWorks threads and you can see them. I don't name drop but they know who they are. Like I say, their choice and doesn't bother me at all.

Anyway, Lamchop did make me laugh and I felt that was the intention but seeing some of the replies, I guess it isn't being taken that way.

Anyways, back on topic and get some scores posted ya lazy pups

No worries Greg, nobody's getting bent of shape here

I think it's hilarious.

Funny as it is, you know he means it though.

No he really means it, he says it over and over again, sometimes quite forcefully.

Perhaps just take it as a constant bam up.

Yer but at least you know his POV

He has been "ticked off" (polite) when he has been out of order, so if you feel that he is being too much, RTM it and it will be looked into, the same with any posts that are reported.

Edit:

And this game is the only game that has seriously made me scared since playing Resident Evil on the Playstation. I was a big fan of the original film (alien) and this has the same scare factor as that did all those years and years ago. Lamchop is missing out (his choice) and for a heart skipping beats sake, that might not be a bad thing

LambChop · 8 Oct 2014 at 15:22

I think it would be best I don't give reasons why, let's just leave it there....

Also, come on more NVidia bench scores up please

AFR gives better scores than the AI profile...

It certainly does.

Yes, Gsync candidate if ever there was one running no sync, it will be performing very well on this one. :cool:

What are you talking about? i asked him politely.

I couldn't do it, I hate AMD with a passion.

Why? no seriously why?

No one is being facetious so please don't blow it out of proportion.

It does run sweet with G-Sync and 3D will get a play tomorrow (doesn't work with G-Sync) but going to make sure the wife is close by for reassurance

Like it was ever a secret

And yeah, Res1 was the last game to **** me up too

Dog, window, hallway :eek:

Damn you Tommy, I knew I shouldn't have revealed my secrets

Revised benchies incoming and someone needs to tell me what the hell is going on with my trifire scaling in this game, as long as that someone isn't LambChop

Love how things get twisted on this forum.

This game is bloody stunning, even in the short space I have played so far. I say its THE best horror game to date.

Everything is creepy, even a can rolling across the floor is tense haaaa
Started my first run on Hard, I always do on games but some people saying its a big mistake I should started on medium.

Any you guys playing hard?

Medium here. I'll stick with pussy mode, thank you very much

I don't know where this 'attacking' part came from. There's a very big difference between criticising and attacking. I never said the latter. I said the former and there it is on the previous page.

Rusty0611 said:
As above, nobody said 'attacked'. It certainly isn't vicious (yet) but that still doesn't mean one should be criticised for a choice IMO.

We're not criticising him for exercising his freedom of choice, rather, we're trying to ascertain the reasoning behind it, as it seems rather irrational (by his own omission as well) and illogical.

Uncle Petey said:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing any of the Gamesworks criticizers/theorists saying that they will never buy an Nvidia sponsored title, full stop. So I don't think it's quite the same thing

Either way, I personally couldn't give a toss what he does or doesn't buy, just as I couldn't give a toss what card anyone chooses.

What I do take objection to, is the constant stream of hateful bile that seems to flow at any given opportunity, no matter how tenuous the link is.
The same goes for those on the other side of the fence (See Drunkenmaster for example, although his style is rather different and nobody reads most of his posts)

I couldn't have put it any better myself, spot on!

Gregster said:

Got better things to do

I do remember a lot of hate towards gameworks titles from the AMD crowd but I can't recall of anyone saying that they won't buy games, which have it.

edit;

Medium for me as well! I haven't even encountered the alien yet and am still so tense.....

Yer, man those dogs made me leap

@ Shankly, I am loving it. The Creative Assembly have done a blinder on this game. I will tip my hat (if I wore one) at them for some good work. A british outfit based in Suffolk as well, so some good home grown talent. I was happy to buy this game supporting the Brits

All you have to do is read back through the previous page to see what I'm referring to. It isn't malicious but it's certainly criticism and some of it is quite snide. I shan't quote bomb you because I've made the point I wanted to make and I don't see the point in prolonging it further.

Let's get the thread back on topic.
