Boiling Point any good with patches?

nantucket66 · 12 Feb 2006 at 19:26

When this game came out I know it was criticised for being really buggy, but was it any good?

With it being out for a good 6 months now are the bugs fixed?

Someone recommend me a good game please as I'm bored with everything.

I have played Far Cry, HL2, BF2, CivIV, COD2, The Movies, Rome, GTA SA, FEAR, Doom 3 all to death and I want to try something new but there doesn't seem to be much out there at the moment. I've been enjoying PES5 and quite fancy trying Tiger Woods, can you use a PS2 controller on this like you can on PES5

Looking forward to Sin Episodes though.

Recommend me some games, plus whether to get Boiling Point or not!

Thanks

I've seen it running with the version 2 patch, framerate was very choppy, excessive RAM usage and it seemed to me that there was far, far too little traffic, i.e. you could wander around the city for a couple of minutes and still not find a car. Maybe I'm just used to the likes of GTA but something didn't seem quite right there. The graphics didn't look that impressive either, but it also seemed like there could be incredible depth to the game too, with long conversations a lot of freedom.

If you want something a bit different, try Fahrenheit. How about KOTOR1+2?

There's plenty of quality older titles around, dunno if you have played them or not. CoD/UO, JK:JA, Serious Sam 1/SE/2, Unreal, Halflife, Deus Ex, Deus Ex:IW are all good FPS.

Thief 2 is different thatn most and is great too....

All of the above choices are good also...you cant go wrong with any

Thanks for the replies.

I have not tried KOTOR 1 or 2 or Fahrenheit but have with all the others mentioned.

What is X3:The Reunion like?

im in the same boat as you mate i built this pc back in march 05 and i had a rubbish pc before that so i had loads of games to play, HL2, Far cry, Doom 3 + resserection of evil, plus loads more. Now ive completed them all and there isnt any new games appearing

, Quake 4 and FEAR were ok but not in the same league as HL and Far Cry. I cant wait for the Far Cry addon and HL episode 1. You could try soldier of fortune 2, thats not too bad a game.

Hi Mark,

I've done SOF2 as well!!

I really enjoyed FEAR, I thought it was up there (though not quite as good) as Far Cry and HL2

Ye it was pretty good looking back, if not a bit short. I loved the gun fights, especially when slowing it down and pinning them to walls. It was just a bit short and there was no big boss at the end, i was expecting to have to kill that plaxton fettle dude or that freak girl :eek:

, but no just sum easilly despatched ghost things.

Quake was good as well, much better than doom 3 IMO. Its good online as well but im totally rubbish. Still pretty fun after a few beers.

I looked at a few screen shots of boiling point and it looks ok but the gfx dont look up to much.

Ive just ordered Syberia 1 and 2 to tide me over till some good FPS games surface. I completed broken sword 1 and 2 when i was in secondary school on my ps1 and loved the game, im hoping syberia wil come close.
