I said id buy the game now as i actually enjoy it. far to oftern ive brought a game and its been poor. lets face it...how many of us in here have downloaded a song, streamed a film, a game.....illegally?

Think the only time I've ever downloaded anything was a really old dos game I couldn't get anywhere else. Otherwise, no. Wouldn't like it done to me if I was an artist or games dev.

Croteam needs to give a whole bunch of game devs out there some GUI lessons

First stop the UT3 dev. team. What is that lazy work about?

Skyrims GUI for managing settings and items STILL feels like Oblivions. Man...after the slick UI of SS3:BFE Skyrims feels like it came from 1871.

And heres another brilliant part of SS3BFE (Just Cause 2 does this too) *Bethesda: LISTEN UP*: - SS3:BFE autodetects the TYPE of display and adjusts itself accordingly.

In Skyrim when I go from gaming on my living room HDTV back to PC Eyefinity the stupid game freaks out and says "display rez not available" so you have to dive into the Skyrim ini file and change the rez in there (or mess about with the "launcher").

Not so in SS3:BFE. When i play in Eyefinity - bam it works. If I change to HDTV..bam it works. No faffing about! I mean c'mon why cant simple and time-saving things like this be done by other devs!.

The benefit of a pc only title, they actually think about the peculiarities of pcs.

Could i hijack this? Sorry.

I get to certain levels where the mouse just goes out of control and starts to spin and make sam look in the air. I cant resolve it. Ive skipped that level but now happens on every level.

Yes, excellent. I have had so many issues switching my games drive from the eyefinity computer to the HDTV. Dirt 2 & 3 stick in my mind as games that refuse to load until I fiddle with ini files, and they weren't the only ones.

I always get a thrill when I install a game and it is autoset to my weird desktop resolution. Funnily enough, *most* indie games I've tried do this, and most big budget titles don't.

They should be ashamed of that mess they put in UT3.
