FAKK2 On Most Shelves

I want Tribes 2.

My observation; (I have only played through one level so this isn't complete)

Maybe it's the third person, but the game feels kind of console-like to me.

THe weapons are really cool, but that first mission really has turned me off becuase I hate fighting fuckin bugs (DIAKATANA anyone?) or aliens....just pisses me off

I HATE FAKK2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate it!!!!

I have spent the last two days playing it...make that trying to play it, it crashed on the cinimatics for the first day, I would get 5 seconds into the game and it would crash as soon as I hit a cut scene...

so after a day and a half of struggeling through the tut and the first level I finaly get to the first boss, the first time you have to really fight in the game...

AARRRG!!!!!!!

This is where the sukage of the game really shines! I have died 50+ times..why you ask, not because I lack fighting skill, no let me count the ways, 20+ times getting stuck on boxes...you see you do not slide along surfaces you stick to them and have to back up to get unstuck, and an a boss arena filled with bokes it plays like shit! 10+ times getting stuck in the slime...having full life and water but duing because she wouldn't climb out of the water...another 10 or so times getting stuck on the pillers in the slime (no time to back up in slime...game over...) and 10 or so more times getting hit by the rapid fire phalic pillers that erupt from the floor (now if these bug dicks hit you once that would be fine but they hit you throwing you into the air and draining half your life then they hit you two or three more times before you can hit the ground killing you) the rapid fire things happens about 20% of the time I get hit by the bugdicks...

AND THIS IS ON EASY!!! give me a break!

I like a chalenge, I play most games on the hardest difficulty, I just finished DeausEx on rralistic, it was tough but resonable...

I understand that they are trying to give arcade style action but they seem to have FAILED!

ok, I'm going to go back and give it another chance but I won't be holding my breath!

I'm just sad I waited a year for this one and it looks so nice...to bad it dosent play that way...

I can beat people with pings of 20 in RA3 quite often actually, and people in first place on their team with a 40 ping, some damn good players acutally.... HPB's can compete.... but it's not a fair game. When everyone DOES have oc3's the people that used to have the better connections will realize where they actually stand in terms of skill.

This may sound like I'm acting all tough and shit but it's true... LPB's got angry at the new CS patch for the same reason.... it leveled the playing field some by making lpb's experience what hpb's have always experienced (lpbs still have advantage though).

It's funny when the lpbs complain about lag ;)

i have one of the first bx boards out there, it goes at 66, 83, and 100..... but it wont set to 100 if you have a celeron for some reason (it wont let me select it in the menu)

i have 64 mb of pc66 and 64 of pc100.... and it's stable at 83... so i run it at that

i have a celeron 366 at 460, i could get 550 if i had a board that would allow my celeron to have an fsb of 100

it's not the 66 mhz ram either.

im waiting for ddr ram, then i'm all over that

This game sucks. Thank you very much for wasting my time Ritual.

Sin should have been a lesson.

well im at the part where i meet the stoner guy

Hmm...

Someone was making a point the other day that releasing the game two weeks before the demo might encourage people to pirate it (more so than usual that is). Here we are tonight with a bunch of people in this thread who have done just that. Who was that brilliant man? Oh yeah! It was me! :p

Not that I care if you guys are warez monkies. God knows I'm not innocent there myself. Just an observation.

It's a Legend QDI p6I440BX Brilliant 1
The "I" is a roman numeral one

I've been to their website, and i have the latest bios upgrade...

I must come off as pretty stupid because everyone treats me that way.

Haven't I made it clear? the 66 mhz ram wasn't in my system when I tried to set the fsb to 100 through all of this.... I left the 100 mhz fsb 64 mbs in.

I've been through all of this before ok?...

did you know that my gf2 is performing 66% as fast as every review I've seen because i have a slow fsb, ram, and processor?

i'll get a near-50% performance increase in framerate when i upgrade my mobo and ram and cpu at the end of this year.....

In my experience yes, skiing is unbalanced. I'm an HPB and I have a variable ping, with packetloss.... Both of these make it near impossible for me to ski the same as an LPB. In the other areas of tribes, i can easily hold my own though. Sking though, made for very fast getaways that were impossible for me to reproduce with my lag. But, skiing in Tribes 2 has not been removed, only hampered a little.... and taken out entirely for heavies (which kinda makes sense). I think Tribes 2 should be ok if the changes aren't too drastic, and they don't sound that bad. We'll have to wait and see. I'm more concerned about the departures (even though they assure us everything is ok) than I am about these tweaks.

Hopefully they don't totally screw it over.

I had high hopes for Tribes2....

But the more I read about where the game is going.... the less hopes I have for it.

slow footspeed and no 'ski'ing' with endless landscape is NOT what I am looking for in an action game.

yeah i wasnt something differnt, i want tribes 2

although im one of the only people that ever plays RA3 i think, doh

Why is everyone looking for the re-invention of QuakeI DM? Pixelated lag should not be such a fond memory!

In fact, I am really shocked (disapointed) that so few people are playing RA3. For pure DM (team action), RA3 is the best game EVER made....Q3A as it should have been.
And absolutely the BEST fraggin levels ever made. :)
My jaw still drops when i play certain levels of RA3.

THE WHEEL WILL NEVER BE RE-INVENTED!

You are all getting OLD and SLOW! (me included, but i still play like a mutha)

ease one did you see the screenshot i uploaded to you?

The reason that warez exsists even more is because you can't buy a game and take it back to many places if you have opened it..... its like buying a car by just looking at the ad in the paper, (but of course not as much money).

I'll put it this way.... the levels are awesome, but there aren't enough of them.

I'm afraid that rationalizing warez is a dead-end argument. Of course you're right, buying a game for $50 is a gamble. Many people download a warez version of a game and then buy it, and the same can be said for Napster... A lot of people never buy anything, however.

By the way, I just read the Stomped preview of the game. I hope Redwood can get LeveLord's pubes out of his fucking teeth soon. *slurp gobble slurp* Jesus...

I thought it would have been cool if the bag guy got the crystal before you, then you had to fight your way back through his ship and then down and all the way back to eden.... then...

(spoiler)


take on tyler and then travel through maybe another ship..... then destroy gith and somehow get back to eden.....

but they cut out the whole thing, it was just crystal, tyler, (kinda gith) and it was over.....

too short, if those other things are in a free patch and it's like 30 bucks i'll get it for sure tho

anyway 1 more more thing, if the tools and multipllayer is not free in a patch i am less likely to buy such a short game

Is it just me or is this whole section riddled with warez monkies and Ritual guys acting like they don't notice? People moaning and whining about how "the game isn't anywhere" yet everyone has played it?

I thought the Shack frowned on this kind of behaviour. Like masturbation, we all do it but no one talks about it - oh, wait. That's a bad analogy...

I suppose you guys are the same ones who had the naked women skin for q2.

Yes, a nude patch is needed for this game. I wonder if their other lips would move too! h4w h4w h4w

This game is cool IMHO!

can a mothafucka get a nude patch? damn, Ms Strain has some serious boobidge...:)

What do you expect though, I'm not going to wait for 2 weeks for a demo and I'm not going to buy a game blindly. If it's good I'll buy it, simple as that.

I got this last night, but not at the store.... anyways the level design is great indeed, and it has a pretty cool weapon system.... I'm going to play it some more but i dont know if i'll buy it...

I downloaded the full version "demo" and it is a remarkably lame game.

It looks great and all that shit but the story is not an interesting one... I am still on the Daikatana-like level where you kill the flying bugs(now there is an innovative idea! barf)

The ass on the character is very nicely drawn as you can see in the screenshots. That is about the only redeeming feature so far... that and the savegame works pretty well.

P.S. Killing people you are supposed to be helping will result in a failed mission. ha ha ha

Where the hell is Voyager:Elite Force?

OK, I feel bad for dogging the game so hard but I guess it's just not my type of game. It's not because it's a 3rd person game because I don't really mind that in a game.

I can't quite figure out what it is that makes me dislike it. Graphicly it is quite nice. The controls and menus are well done. The music is fine and the voices are good too.

Maybe I will load the "demo" *cough* again and give it another shot.

P.S. If I like it, I will buy it. I just get these "demos" because where I live we don't get the new games until they have been out for a couple weeks. :( I am not the average pirate... I do buy things I use.

I'm going to eat my words here, which I never do. I'm always right on everything I do. I'm the best human being in the world, but I do have to eat my words on what I said about FAKK2. It's a fun game!!
Big fucking mistake that they did not include multiplayer (even if it comes later in a addon). Other then that, it is cool. VERY nice work on the levels, 3rd person view isn't bad, weapons are cool.

The re-playability factor is the only other problem. Like any single player only game, how many times can you play it before it gets old. Twice, maybe 3 times? Oh well, at least Ritual made up for their shit of a game SiN.

hmm just got it and the damn thing wont run, intalls just fine, then when you try to run it, initializing video it just sits there at a grey screen? I've tried this on2 systems with the typical install:
System 1:

128MB
458mhz celeron
Geforce 2 gts
SB Live

System 2:

128MB
P2-300
3DFX Voodoo2
Crystal Audio

does the same thing on both..however a friend of mine installed it off the same disc with the CD install on a

128mb
P2-233
3dfx voodoo3 2000
sb 16

works like a charm, cept for the fact it access the cd alot...anyone have ANY idea wtf is going on???

can somebody tell me where to go to get some type of flood protection for q2?

What everyone seems to forget is that, if it hadn't been for the bugs, sIn could easily have been the best deathmatch game of it's time.

Stupid silent machine gun..... RUINED sIn's deathmatch.

just picked up the game for the hell of it, been playing for a couple of hours and im really impressed. the weapon system is cool stuff.

it starts out pretty boring though, that eden city stuff is drawn out a bit too much.

gah. that's what i get for ordering it online AFTER it's gone gold

Fuck this game looks lame. Been there, done that. (sigh)
