dis trailer is fucking sweet.

There's no way to customize graphics in the beta version other than manually tweaking the game's config file.

So yeah, I didn't encounter any of the bugs DS encountered in Crysis 2. You can still tell it's a beta. I'm most likely going to buy retail now though, I just wanted to see if my computer could run it.

Yeah, some people are able to run it really well. That's the problem with it being a beta version though, I suppose it's not optimized to work on all computers and operating systems. I tried a few system.cfg tweaks I read to make it work but it didn't help.

My only issue with GTA4 is the whole social aspect of the game is way overdone. Like people constantly calling and asking to go do mundane shit. It would have been a nice touch if you didn't get a call every 10 minutes.

here i'll help you across the street.......

Well, I have been playing it for a while and I'm probably not going to play more. There are some really annoying glitches which make it kinda annoying to play. Light effects are bugged if I play in full screen (like constant flickering which really hurts your eyes) and sometimes sound gets bugged, voice acting disappearing and sound effects playing way too loudly and incorrectly (hard to explain this). Game also crashes sometimes whenever there's a loading point which makes playing it even more annoying.

The game itself is very promising though. It's much more linear than Crysis was and I mean that in a good way. My main issue with Crysis was that it lacked focus and while it was fun to play the way you want to it was still ultimately always about getting from point a to point b which made those huge levels mostly pretty pointless. Crysis 2 also has the same basic concept that you can approach any situation either by just going in guns blazing or by being stealthy. But the way the game plays feels more like Half-Life 2 than Crysis and that's a good thing, it just feels more streamlined and focused. Using suit has been simplified as well, this time you only turn on/off stealth or armor and there's no mode for speed or power. You simply have to sprint to use your speed ability and you'll use power ability whenever you do any of the power moves like hold space to jump really high or kick cars with the action button or other stuff like that. It's really nice because now you don't have to constantly be switching your suit mode and you'll still be able to do all the things you could before.

Another thing I really like is that this time there's a melee stealth kill which is a nice addition because in some of the bigger areas being noticed means taking on waves of enemies and it can be pretty tough on the higher difficulty settings. Although I can't say it's as much fun to sneak up on enemies and kill them as in MGS or Uncharted 2 since stealth mode makes it a bit too easy, it's still fun.

On the downside, I feel the environment isn't nearly as interactive anymore, perhaps it has something to do with the engine being reworked so that consoles can handle the game as well. I tried to shoot down some trees and branches and they wouldn't break or fall down. You can still interact with most of the smaller objects but I don't get the same interactive feeling as I did in Crysis. Of course it's also partly because of the fact that Crysis 2 takes place in urban setting instead of a jungle with small destroyable huts and stuff like that. Another thing is that I have come across a few vehichles and I couldn't drive any of them. It would've been pretty much impossible to actually do anything with them in middle of the city levels I played but it just felt weird since you could use any vehichle you wanted before.

I partly feel it's been downgraded from Crysis and Crysis Warhead but it still looks and feels fantastic. But I really like the more streamlined approach and if Crysis Warhead was any indication which direction Crysis is going, I think I'm going to like Crysis 2 a lot. But yeah, until someone manages to fix some of those more or less game breaking bugs, I'm gonna wait for the retail version.

I recently discovered BT's "These Hopeful Machines" which came out in February 2010. I was hoping it would be similar to "This Binary Universe", which I consider a modern masterpiece, but it really isn't. However, I do love a good dance/club CD with some depth and unifying vision and Brian Transeau knows how to deliver in that regard. Check it out.

I wish he was more popular and well known because he deserves it for his work.

I posted about it on GW when it came out and I don't think anyone really cared about it aside from rami and me. I still think it was one of the best albums of 2010.

why not if it's can instead of have to.

haha yeah, that's the one thing i remember best about safari!! good to have you back.

i might have the logo somewhere but i dunno how to contact aztec. :-(

yyou are all japanese

I just wish you didn't need to use the nunchuk with it. I really hate it. It's dumb how they didn't give you the ability to use the GC controller or even the Wii classic controller.

You can play it with just wiimote, you just use it sideways. Try starting the game with no nunchuk attached and it should work.

just spent like two hours getting my time from 52:60 to 51:40. Still made some errors though but I don't think it's possible to get much better time, maybe second or a bit more. I'm loving pretty much all the levels in DKCR so far, they are extremely fun to play as they are but once you start doing time trials, you can really appreciate the amount of effort put into the level design. I really hope they'll make a sequel to this!

I dunno about other games since this is the only one I have played but yeah, it runs pretty much perfectly. Sometimes there's this weird sound glitch but you can fix it by pressing the home button. It runs around 50 FPS for me most of the time and for rami it runs at 100% speed all the time even though he's using 1920*1200 so it's really good. You need to have a pretty good computer though.

donkey kong country returns with a wii emulator. this game fucking rules.

Yeah man, getting 4 players would be great, some of the smaller maps could be doable with just 4 players. And maybe we can get one or two more! rami has it too, he just hasn't played it online yet.
