This game is nice and big, I`ve played for about 6 hours now and I have just been from the north end near Yamalin towards Tharbakin and to the east Brunhill (check this map: http://www.2-worlds.com/images/geo/Antaloor.jpg )
Also some nice technical features, the loading times are amazingly short.
Did you get AA working in it yet?

I did not try with AA . My PC is too slow... Some more individual settings would be nice to tweak the performance better. There`s a new update 1.2 btw, which fixes stuff for older Radeons.

I didn't know there was an update, I'll try that.

Two Worlds does look really interesting and like it has a lot of potential, but without AA I ain't gonna play it.

That pic's been touched up heavily, though.

Just finished Splinter Cell. What an insanely fun, addictive and enjoyable game...the soundtrack is also top notch. I've just finished installing Pandora Tomorrow, going to start that shortly. I've got my copy of Chaos Theory, but i'm going to hold off on getting Double Agent until i've just about finished Chaos Theory. Hopefully by then the price will drop some more and there might even be a little more patchwork or tweaks uncovered

I'm kicking myself for having not played these from the start. When I played the SC demo it ran so bad I just never bothered, and saw the fan-attention as a sort of Metal Gear-style fanboi orgy (MG sucks balls BTW ), but I see I was wrong.

Happy days!

*edit* Damnit!

The intro video (the very first UBISOFT one) chunks along for a few seconds then just stops totally, forcing me to alt-tab, task manager and kill the game. They're Bink videos so it can't be a codec problem (or can it?)..any ideas?

*double-edit* Also, why have I suddenly lost almost 200 posts?

*triple-edit* Managed to solve it via forcing the game down to one core and replacing the binkw32.dll file with an older version from Battlefield 2. Site Feedback is providing insight to postcount issue.

How is the performance like in TwoWorlds? looks quite interesting, might have to have a look at it. I hope it's not another Gothic mess.

I still can't get AA working in Two Worlds, I must be doing something wrong.

thanks for the tip on two worlds. definately looks like something i'd be interested in.


oh, i also recently installed fight simulator x and have gotten to the jet transport tutorial on first play day (and crashed on landing 3 times...1 try per day roughly)

also have ARMA (not installed yet)....and el matador purchased a LONG time ago and never installed. i guess falling behind is better than a game drought.

El Matador = "SPICY MOVE!!!!!"

I actually kind of liked that one. A no brain, fun blaster...but I can't get the announcer screaming "SPICEY MOVE!!!!" out of my head whenever someone mentions it.

Playing System Shock 2 coop with a friend. First time for both of us.

Waiting on Tiberium Wars

Pre-ordered Tomb Raider Anniversary, Quake Wars, and Bioshock.

Still only a couple hours into STALKER too, 2/3 through Prey which needs to be reinstalled, want to finish Oblivions main story, still have Dreamfall to play, and im sure i'll pickup Armored Assault at some point. Oh and im sure i'll get a copy of Supreme Commander eventually as well as i really liked TA but it wont install as it relies on 16bit.

In the end, i have way way too many games incomplete and far too little time.

Tried Total Annihilation : Spring? http://spring.clan-sy.com/

I've got Tiberium Wars, but I haven't been able to muster the care to play it. Far too much like Generals for me to like. I found my System Shock 2 CD's in the garage too!

Hmm, I certainly have not found Tiberium Wars to be like Generals. I found it much more in line with the classic C&C style. Hell, the return of the UI is enough to make it 100x better than Generals. I also love the fact that I can play a 15 minute game and achieve the entire tech tree in that time span. Makes a very rewarding online experience.

Sorry, I meant to say it reminds me of Generals a lot visually. For all the praise TW gets, I personally think it's a fugly looking game.

I tried the 4.02t at first, but had a show stopper bug so I re-installed & used the 3.5 unofficial and it worked out great. Finished it and am replaying it as an insane Malkavian, oodles of fun!

Oh, and adding another Gb of ram fixed my performance/load problems. With 2Gb the game runs like a dream.

Twilight Princess on my GC. Man, I sure hope my 360 has at least half the lifespan of my GC. Best $100 I ever spent if you ask me. Problem is it looks a tad bit silly on my non-HD television.

I've also been delving back into Battlefield 2. One thing I noticed this time around was the quality of sound. If you crank that game and have a nice sub with your speakers, you've got the formula for some real nice sounding explosions. I also dropped the sniping act, seeing as I apparently mastered it, and picked up being a medic. That's a lot of fun.

And I picked up Company of Heroes, to prepare myself for World in Conflict. The game is great, I'm just naturally awful at RTS'. Also, IMO, they should have made the cutscenes in CGI instead of using the in-game engine. Those player models up close look like something terrible. Don't get me wrong, they look great.....only from an overhead view looking down 300 feet.

Hmmm...ok now i'm a little peeved.

I'm now playing through Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory, up to the Hokkaido level, a few rooms before I reach Neddich. I've been playing the entire thing right through to this point on the Catalyst 7.3's with HDR+Tonemapping enabled and 2xAA (and it was definitely working...AA was applied for sure, i'd be a retard not to see, and HDR/Tonemapping was definitely also on, I tried switching them off/on at one stage to see the difference for curiosity's sake and I definitely had it on). At one stage, it was dinner time so I did a quicksave and quit the game... a few hours later I came back, logged in, fired it up and loaded my save only to find that AA had been completely disabled!

'Wierd' I thought, so I quit the game and relaunched it to see if ATT skipped a beat or something, but no joy. Long story short, i've tried reinstalling my videodrivers (drivercleaned each time), i've tried an older version of ATT (and a newer beta) but no matter what I do, AA just wont apply any more. I disabled HDR/Tonemapping in the advanced shader options ingame just to be sure, and sure enough AA was then enabled just fine even with the ingame option set to disabled (forced via ATT). But no matter what, it just no longer refuses to work with HDR/AA. I've played this far through with it just fine and i'm not playing another minute until it starts working again, this is just pissing me off.

Anyone have any ideas, or encountered this when you played it? I want HDR for sure, but I also can't live without AA, so it's a catch-22.
