Guest Stefkov Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Urgh, i'm about to rip my fucking face off over this game.On level 11, with three minutes left, meaning i can't get the save the princess achievement, which is bull shit. Problems with the game: The combat is fucking stupid as hell, its unpredictable. Sometimes the AI will give you a hell of a going over, other times they just stand there and take hit after hit. The controls are bafflingly unresponsive and basically clunky. The game likes to trick you and piss you off. When you hit a checkpoint, it saves the time, but it doesn't go back to that time every time you die and respawn at the check point. I'm on level 11, fucking pissed off and i may never return to that game. I'm already over the time limit, I started level 12 with no time left. I just wanna get it over and done with then get the save the princess achievement later. The battling realy is as you said. One time you can land about 4 blows in a row, he won't do anything. Come ack and have another go you can't and a single hit. And the checkpoints are annoying like you said. It's meant to save the progress yet it doesnt give you your time back. However I do understand this concept. Just don't die as much... So I got the save the princess achievement even though I ran out of time 3 levels before the end...
thirtynine. Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 That was how the game always was. They either should have just made the same game with the same grphics or imprroved it.
Caris Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Halo 2 Vista is both clunky and weird feeling... Meh, i'll play it for points. Clunky? It's exactly the same as the XBox Version... Play it with a 360 pad if you have to.

The fish Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 The Lancer tweak, the annex achievements, and the general exploit fixes are all very good things in my book. Hopefully the exploits that are fixed includes the chainsaw bug. If you haven't seen it, it allows you to run around with another weapon out, but it chainsaws people. It's annoying. Hopefully they've also fixed the reverse Roadie Run glitch too, which allows you to Roadie Run backwards, or Roadie Run and shoot. Very annoying when the opponent has a shotgun out. Still, good news about the patch in general, it was about time. A mate of mine who's pet-peeve was that the Lancer was too weak is going to be happy, and I also feel it's going to make it a bit easier to suppress people.
Sanchez Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 The 10 buck GoW map pack is free after september the 3rd, I'm waiting.

Sounds great but does this mean that the kills in Annex will start counting towards the 10,000 kills achievement? I hope it does.
Calza Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I dont think they will. They made it clear at the start that annex kills wouldn't count and they would offer achivements just for annex. I'm not 100% sure so I may be wrong.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Booooooo! Ah well just have to get it the hard way then. Wonder if these new achievements can be done on player matches? On all the other achievements they say ranked but these new ones say nothing about that.
BeerMonkey Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 i want to get DiRT and Forza (and res evil 4 wii when it comes) i got the money just im supposed to be saving up so i dont know yet
Guest Stefkov Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I like the sound of the new update. The game is getting a bit boring now, just bought the new maps aswell and it did add a bit of life to the game but it's getting repetitive. I need a new fun game.
McPhee Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Shadowrun! (no im not going to shut up about this game :p)
Guest Jordan Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Can someone help me get the baggage carrier off the oil rig? Its the last car i need for the impound achievement
Guest Stefkov Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Can someone help me get the baggage carrier off the oil rig? Its the last car i need for the impound achievement I thought you said you got that achievement? Theres an easier way, however you gots to get all the gangs back on. We could do it cos I put the gangs back on?
Guest Jordan Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I thought you said you got that achievement?Theres an easier way, however you gots to get all the gangs back on. We could do it cos I put the gangs back on? Sure, i'll do that. Fancy helping me now? EDIT: Technically, couldn't you just take out one from your garage and then let me drive it in?
Guest Stefkov Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Hmmm, yeah I think so. My connections been playing up though so if it doesnt connect then I will post here how to get it.
Guest Jordan Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 DiRT is amazing. Its so tense and suspenseful the entire time. If you're a fan of racers, if you just like games where you're shitting yourself practically the whole time, buy this game. Every aspect of it (Rally, uphill climb, rally cross, dirt racing) has a totally different feel and to be honest, the PS3 version is missing alot not having the rumble there.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I think its on now. Jordan, how does the Demo of Project whatever its called play? Im on downloading it now.

How does it compare to the demo? I think i'll most likely get it but it wont be until next week at the earliest because I'm too poor.

Guest Jordan Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 I think its on now. Jordan, how does the Demo of Project whatever its called play? Im on downloading it now. Not fantastic. You get a sense of 'What the fuck is actually going on?'. How does it compare to the demo? I think i'll most likely get it but it wont be until next week at the earliest because I'm too poor. You're not thrown in the deep end like you are with the demo, you can actually progess much easier since you can get to grips with the controls on the slower cars.
