No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that by today’s standards, it's pretty poor. More recent games have been rated less because of the lack of realistic AI, so why should this be any different.

No game is without its bugs but this has more than a fair few. I'm not convinced the low frame rate has anything to do with the graphics content but merely poorly designed inefficient code. I may be wrong.

I think it’s too easy to get lost it the games pure vastness and beauty than the game itself.

It not the worst game I’ve bought, that goes to Chaser but it’s certainly well below what I expected and doesn’t warrant anymore than 80%.

Hopefully, Clear Skies will put this to shame!

oh i cant argue with anything youve said about it. thats why i havn't bothered playing it beyond the demo. im just not interested in the game lol
 
Red Faction 2, the first one was great and had some really good technology in it (such as blowing holes in the wall to get to places) the second one was a completely different game. I actually took it back to the store and swapped it for something different (the days when you could do that).
 
I wish i had played the demo.. It might have saved me £30 or so. :)

@ Azza

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is pure genius depsite it's linear ending.

Ummm, what ? :confused:

Cryteks' first game was FarCry and that was DX9, they never made a game for DX8, so why would there be DX8 code in Crysis (a major DX10 title) ?

I didn't say there was but I can see the confussion.. What I was trying to say is that it has bugs that were reminiscent of previous DX releases.. Previous post edited ;)

Thanks for clearing that up Huddy :) :cool:

Another game for the list: American McGee Presents Bad Day LA, so, so shockingly bad, hyped up and it was ...........abysmal. I did quite look forward to it, too. :o :(
 
Stalker Fear. Crysis......

All cracking games....

Suprised how many people are slating them. All far better games than HL2 imo.
 
I played this bombing game on the master system, or maybe atari, that was released with a bug. The bomb doors to the plane wouldn't open and for the entire game you got to look at some closed steel doors.

invunerable with 3-4 artifacts 2 hours into the game, easy as pie from there, that and bioshock, this fake fps/RPG genre people are trying to start, they increase stats of the "hero" and everyone else stays mostly the same. Both games are semi challenging for a hour or two then its 4-10 hours or running about with a care in the world almost completely invunerable and no punishment for dying on the rare occasion you would. Also a lack of, well, change, lack of increase in difficulty which is really one of the main staples of FPS play, more and harder bad guys slightly offset but more and better weapons and more ammo for better weapons the further into the game you get. Bio and Stalker completely ignored that part.

Also the best battles in Stalker are the scripted ones , even the first farmhouse but mainly the car junk yard, where they actually track you down and search, spread out, get you in crossfire. The rest of the game you suddenly can shoot from range and most of the unscripted "natural" AI simply had them run to the nearest thing to hide behind and run from one end of it to the other. Complete tosh.

I hate that people seem to link linear gameplay and scripted events, sure you can have both together, many games do, and many games do it brilliantly. At the end of the day AI will never be "fantastic" it might get merely good, while a scripted event can bypass 90% of the bad AI as a real human with a brain that can use real tactics can fight you.

THats essentially what happened in that stalker junkyard fight, you're playing against a human opponent moving his units where he wants in an inteligent way to kill you, which is basically missing in unscripted attacks.

Both games have all the best content in the first hour or two and then complete boredom with that feeling of finishing for the sake of finishing rather than really wanting to. Bioshock especially Big daddies way to early in the game, then they become insanely easy to kill very quickly and nothing bigger and badder comes along to be smacked about.
