  • @shark80 - Which one is it? WD My Book Essential? From where did you get it?

    GTA IV

    Just now quited from the game. Here are the things I did till now. First I came out of the house then searched for a good car and got inside a SUV(BMW X5) and then headed to the nearest strip club. Saw a lap dance and the came out after some time. Then I got into the car and started roaming around and then I saw a Bike(A Cruiser) took it and started I riding it. Did some wheelies, stoppies, burnouts etc. then while performing a wheelie the bike fell over Niko(the last thing I remember) and when Niko woke up he was standing out of the hospital. Got in an SUV(Caddilac Escalade) drove it for sometime and then crashed into a wall and guess what. Niko came out of the windscreen and fell on the other side of the wall. Came back got in my car started roaming and then I saw a beast with huge wheels(Hummer). I tried to stop it but failed many time and finally it came to halt and I got in it. After that I saw a Range Rover(Black colour with red stripes. Looked hot) parked in front of a house. I tried to get in it and was disappointed because the car was locked but next moment I saw that Niko was breaking the window and opening the lock(This guy is skilled). Got into the Range Rover and WOW this car had lot of torque and power. It was fun to drive. Stopped playing after this.

    In this game the cars are really cool. Low profile tires, huge alloys some are with vinyls and all that stuff. But I didnt find any good car in the game. I was only able to see SUV's everywhere. Damages on the car are not that realistic but when you crash Niko falls on the steering wheel and if you were at high speed then he comes out from the windscreen.

    P.S.-The names of the cars mentioned are from the Real World. Names are different in the Game.

        • Ok, haven't been keeping too well, so my gaming has been going on full swing!!

          Games I've been playing - all PC

          1. Fallout 3 - Keyboard & Mouse - Clocked 50 hours on this, hit the level cap at around 40 hrs or so, got depressed since most of the wasteland was unexplored, and my main quest was about 50% done - just did it enough to get power armour! Was very depressed, went to fallout nexus, downloaded a bunch of mods, and dived back in with a huge smile ! I currently have ALL my weapons at maximum condition - put 100% in my repair skill, and scrounged around for alot of weapons. In fact i've started a nice caps racket now - find a bunch of laser rifles, and repair them till their value shoots up, and then sell them. They're REALLY shitty weapons but somehow very expensive. Current Unique items got - Eugene(unique minigun - 108 dmg), Vengeance(unique gatling laser - 200 DMG), T-51B power armour(the best armour in the game), bunch of tesla armours, and lots of misc power armour to repair my super power armour! The only "cheat" type mods i've used is the one with the power armour weight advantage, and the t-51b repair one. Fallout 3 owns! Weapon of choice - plasma rifle, 50 DMG(fully repaired) - headshots galore. I kill deathclaws with two headshots, obviously when I'm sneaked I can't use the 360 controller properly with this, because there's NO BUTTON FOR AUTO WALK!!! If i'm running around for half an hour just exploring, it's bloody irritating keeping that move forward stick extended! Ugh.

          2. POP - XBOX 360 controller - Just started this game 4 days back - good graphics, bu sound is screwed on my system for some reason. All the dialogue get's it's first second of play cut. Eg. "Hey lets get rolling in the sack Elika" would come as "....-et's get rolling in the sack Elika"! And there's dropouts, and bad distorted sounds. Might be my soundcard - it's a 10 channel one used for recording, and probably not fully supported by lots of games. Even oblivion used to give me sound issues sometimes. Fun game, first light seed collection is VERY frustrating, since I couldn't figure out how to get those 3-4 light seeds hanging around just above where you kill the first boss. Otherwise great monkey fun - and I LOVE my x360 controller on this.

          3. Dead Space - XBOX 360 Controller - Ok this game is scary! Like really scary! And that's without letting any of those "playing dead" necromorphs catch me off guard - if there's a necro lying down, i shoot the fvcker, then he gets up, I shoot him some more, he dies. Phew. Friggin GREAT game! My only gripe being that the aiming stick(right stick) on the controller is very slow, and there's no way you can change the sensitivity for that. Makes aiming a little slow, and slightly irritating, and maybe even fatal! I love how this game limits you and doesn't allow you to become godlike. It makes the experience MUCH scarier - like those buggers ARE more powerful than you! I shit my pants when more than 1 of them is running full blast at me! I love anti gravity, and the fact that there is NO HUD! Amazing game design, great chills factor, and nice story. Lovely lovely game, scary as hell though! Aiming with the xbox 360 controller is a ***** though - but the game seems to be made for it. A lot of the controls otherwise get very clunky on keyboard and mouse. I would never play fallout 3 on this, but dead space is gooood fun!

          All these games are running on a 24" monitor at 1920 X 1200. All settings on POP and Dead Space are maxed out. On fallout, running at 2X AA and 12 sample anisotropic. All of the games look and run great, except for the sound issues in POP. And fallout 3 sometimes stutters a weeee bit if i look around too fast in the wasteland open world environment.

          Overkill system running these games -

          Intel Xeon E5420 2.5 ghz 1333 fsb 12mb cache quad core X 2(total 8 cores)
          TYAN S5397 motherboard
          8 gb ram (I use xp 32 so get to use only about 3 gb of that, dad runs xp64 so...)
          3-4 tb of hdd, i forget which
          LG 24" full HD monitor
          nvidia geforce 8800gt 512 mb alpha dog version
          1000 watts power supply
          chieftec chasis

          The only game where i've had to step back a bit has been crysis so far. Am very curious to see how GTA4 runs. Almost everything else I've ever run has given me a steady frame rate - havent run any diagnostics as such, but I get very smooth, beautiful looking gameplay!

          Does anyone know if DX10 in vista makes these games look better? I might considering getting vista then, but only if my p-DAW softwares work on it!

          • @grayanaroth: I've played 'Far Cry-2', 'Fallout-3' and 'Crysis Warhead' under Windows Vista with DX10 and I don't really think it is worth it to shift from DX9 to DX10. Certain effects like reflections, et al do look quite dramatic under DX10 but it is not anything that you would miss if you play in DX9.

                • Thanks for the update Driftking!

                  I just started playing GTA-IV after a massive install and all kinds of registrations (Rockstar Social Network, Windows LIVE! Account and what not). The game is running almost smooth, with certain sluggishness at times. I hope Rockstar comes out with a patch that takes care of all these issues which mar an otherwise SUPERB title.
                  :)

                    This is a HUGE issue with most people - bloody game lags and stutters even on super systems. Bad assed lazy stupid port of a great game.

                    @driftking - u running vista 64?

                          s, damage control in PS was way better... but UC is jus an extension of MW with the damage content added and the story line was so easily predictable...

                          • Going to hit CeeDee Bazaar today. Titles on my list are

                            1) GTA IV (damn idiots take four DVDs to burn this....they could have compressed it)

                            2) Legendary (Mixed reviews with IGN giving it very low, but some other sites giving it a pretty decent rating)

                            3) Dead Space (After all the wowery of it in this thread)

                            Did I miss anything? Also I would like to ask, how much do you pay per game for a black-market game? They price according to a DVD right? I pay 40 bux per DVD and most games are double DVD...
