What Have You Bought?

Bought it for £10 or £12 (can't remember properly) and I adore it, probably one of the best racing games I've ever played.

My Grandad bought me this as a gift but I'm not too sure about the game. The story's good at the moment and the characters are good but the battle system is a little weird and the camera angles feel a bit awkward sometimes. I hope I like it the more I play it!

Got it for a fiver brand new because there was no cover. Bargain! Fantastic game and completely surpasses all of the Splinter Cells in my opinion.

 

I know what you're going through, I had the same reservations when I started playing it. But once you start mastering the Paradigms it becomes much easier, if still a bit linear.

 

Still going on it now, around 25 hours in and on disc 3, woo!

 

 

Just keep playing it. It will open up majorly at a certain point. It took me 93 hours to get the Platinum, so it certainly made good value for me.

It was just there and I remembered my fave film theory tutor showed us a bit from it yonks ago, like shots of her running about as she narrated her deluded fantasies/something I recall being stunned by at the time. And I need to see more Terrance Malick films.

Off the Mac App Store. I've always wanted to play this game properly. I had it on the Xbox, but because I had never played an RPG before, I didn't understand the mechanics and how to actually properly play the game. Now, in one hour, I've probably got further than it'd take me a week to accomplish 8 years ago....

I loved the second one despite its flaws, but I've never played the original. I'd love to someday. :)

So got a loan to consolidate debts but made sure I had enough left over to replace my PS3 that broke before the summer. Also used the opportunity to get a few titles I missed first time round (during months of poverty!) and preorder and pay for some forthcoming titles.

How well does it runs on under OS X?

I've got a MacBook Pro 13" with a 2.26ghz Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, Geforce 9400M graphics chip and running OSX 10.7.1 and it runs perfectly fine! :) Better than it ran on the Xbox anyway!

New Laptop time! Actually, first laptop time too for me.

 

17" screen

Intel Core i7 2630qm

4GB of RAM 1333mhz

1TB HDD (2x 500GB 7200rpm)

GT550M with 1GB memory

Windows 7 64bit

 

Was iffy and arring between two comps but when I saw some benchmarks for the i5 vs the i7 (the i7 scoring twice as high), it sealed my choice given they cost the same.
