Strange it was fine for me. Have you got the dual core patchs from ms and amd?
I did have, and for anyone else reading this you are only meant to have one or the other, as they both do the same job and will conflict if both installed. ;)

It was flawless once I stuck it on one core.

Havnt tried it on my new Conroe rig yet, I deleted it. Will wait for the full game until I try it.
 
Quite enjoyed the demo considering I have never fancied the idea of an RPG enough to play one. Did anyone think the gameplay was a little jerky? It could have been down to my setting's I suppose.

Certainly one to consider :cool:
 
Mines in the post as I type ^_^ Hopefully (if the retail copies also use Steam) I'll be able to play it straight away and not have to wait for the official friday release, fingers crossed.
 
Over the past few weeks I have tried a few games, FSX,Gothic3 and GTR2, and this Demo has been by far the most impressive for me. :cool:
Not just because I can have all settings at their highest but because it runs smooth AND looks great at the same time, oh and its a great game too. :cool:
I've not had one problem with it neither, and it's only a Demo so unlike some other games (Gothic3) it is actually ready to be unleashed to the public :D

Hopefully it will be as immersive as Severance was for me all those years ago :) .

Read some more reviews comparing it favourably with the Thief series, which is good.

That's the brilliant thing about it. If you're into Thief type games then you can use your upgrade points to improve stealth etc, if you are more interested in out and out slaughter then you can focus on your melee attacks.

I really enjoyed Thief so I'm looking forward to another game that allows you to play in that style but the good thing is once I've completed it that way, I can do it all again in a less stealthy manor.

I replayed the demo after seeing a video of a stealth player in action. I tried stealth the first time around, but just 'didn't get it'. This time it was truely very fun, sneaking up on people and doing that one hit kill with the daggers :D Or using traps when they least expect it. Plus the attacks are so fast with the daggers that an all out melee is still more fun than with the standard sword imo.

The long swords look pretty tasty though, especially when you can stun the enemy, setting them up for a fall...
 
Mine came this afternoon!! It's absolutely brilliant! I had one fight with a guard that made me think of the fight between Achilles and Hector. They duck and block SO realistically. You cannot just jump in and keep whacking Mouse1 because they'll just block everything. You have to draw them out and take a few shots in the process aswell.

Environments is awesome and the game run smooth. Playing it on my old system since I'm yet to install Windows on my new setup and it runs everything maxed out. P4 3.0ghz, 850xt pe and 1.5gig ram.

That was the issue I had with combat in Oblivion, looking forward to a proper sword fight. Or maybe I will go a bit more stealthily.

Hi do you have to install that filth steam on your system or is that just for online playing.

I believe you can just cancel steam as i think thats for online only.
