games to Replay (Nvidia Card)

[smogsy]

so not 100% decided but i think im going to move to Nvidia on my new card.

I was trying to make a list of games worth replaying/Playing, specially if they had Nvidia features

Mafia II - great game - PhysX too
Witcher 2 - Great Game
Watchdogs - just fancy it
bio shock infinite - great game
Divinty Sins - not completed
Max Payne 3 - great game
Sniper Ellite 3 - good so far
Bat-Man Series - Nvidia stuff + good
Hitman Absolution - pretty good

anyone else think of others worth as play?

Hitman is an AMD sponsored game.

To be honest, PhysX don't add anything to the replay value of any if the Nvidia sponsored games.

hitman is but it was a good game

their are some other Nvidia only features though?

Borderlands 2 - the PhysX features are fun (though in no way affect gameplay) and it's a game that rewards and encourages replaying anyway.

 

[barmyllama]

Certain areas in Borderlands 2 cause the game to crash because the game runs out of memory with PhysX set to high. Something to do with being a 32 bit exe.

Play Blood Money instead of Absolution, BM is a proper Hitman game.

What changed?

I've only played the original, which was great. Really hard, though, but I liked the challenge.

I've got the whole series through the Square Enix humble bundle, but probably won't get onto playing them for a while. Should I leave Absolution on the back burner?

@ OP:
Not sure it's worth re-playing games just for Physx. It doesn't add much. Play games you've not played before, or games you really want to play again because they were great.

What changed?

For me, one of the joys of Hitman was being able to move around the entire area (obviously changing disguises to progress), explore the level and plan your hit. In Absolution that's essentially impossible because you're spotted so easily even in disguise, so you end up either having to play it like Splinter Cell (moving around without ever being seen) or just rushing through areas quickly before enemies get too suspicious of you, which means you don't really get a chance to decide how to get your targets and instead have to just take whatever chance you get.

Considering how long they'd made us wait for it, Absolution was something of a disappointment. A decent game in its own right, but not a particularly great Hitman game.

Condemned?

if your looking for games that use PhysX then the batman games have a lot a paper and other bits that float around if that kind of thing impresses you

Batman games are all excellent IMO. I'm playing Bioshock at the moment on a GTX670 SLI setup, and I think the artwork looks stunning.

Agree with you entirely. Absolution changed the Hitman series in the wrong direction. Whilst it may have made the game 'more realistic', it ruined the fun. It also annoyingly added a score which is permanently in the corner and makes it feel too much like an arcade and competition between friends than actually causing havoc and having fun!
