[QUOTE=KorJax;20788195]Okay so basically zero difference for all intents and purposes, good to know[/QUOTE]
No... he just said the textures and everything got screwed up after DX10 and 11. More reliable pictures would be required before you make such an accusation.
Just bought it, installing right now and will post screenshots if anyone wants any. I'll try to see if I can max it whilst taking them so they don't end up only being medium/high even though from the shots here it still looks amazing on those settings.
[QUOTE=Llamaboy9;20788690]You'll run it at least on high I think.[/QUOTE]
really? well, my max resolution is 1024x768... my freaking 42 inch TV has a terrible max resolution...
So everywhere I am looking, people say the AI is terrible. :(
Any truth to that?

Joystiq said that the AI in spots gets stuck and goes :downs: on you but in some spots it's awesome. Also they said the length is about 10-15 hours but they did not take into count the fact that the game is uber realistic ie: you have to manually reset your watch for it track your gas mask filter correctly otherwise you'll end up dying some where down the road for not having an up to date mask and with this, resources are scarce as FUCK and the environment at times will try to work against you
25% done installing fuck this is taking forever :saddowns:
[sp] I'm just outside the tower with Miller, I've got no Idea on what the fuck to do, I'm inside a little shack with abunch of ammo, If I go back to MIller, I get insta killed, If I go away out the back door, I get insta killed [/sp]

Well, I've heard that before, but I have also heard people stealth killing a guy with a throwing knife, and his buddy standing two feet from him doesn't even notice?
Done installing :buddy: will try to whip up some good screen shots.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;20789323]Stealth killing with throwing knifes is quite possibly the coolest thing ever. Especially when you can [sp]throw a knife at that communist commisar preaching to the troops after you get ditched by the minecart, its funny to see his body just lean over the car as everyone shits themselves about a monster in the dark[/sp][/QUOTE]
This. Throwing knives are the shit.

The part in [sp]D6 where the guy came over the intercom and was saying stuff about the hidden watchers[/sp] was funny as fuck. I didn't know what was going on :v:
[QUOTE=l2ic3;20785273]Thanks RichyZ, I knew it was something stupid like that. Also, has anyone been noticing HL2 sound effects all over the place? I have, and I am absolutely certain that the wood knocking around sound, like when you find a physics chair model or something, push it around, and also bullets hitting cement near, and bullets hitting metal have that same high DING noise.

Look up stock sounds. Just because they were used in HL2 doesn't mean that they are from HL2.
Just beat the game, spent 18.2 hours on it. Amazing!

I just threw a pipebomb into that cart.
grabbin a pipebomb
how well can I run this?
Intel core 2 extreme CPU X9750 @3.16ghz
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
4 gigs ram
I should be able to run it on mostly high right? I'm really tempted to buy...But this was money I was saving up...
Yes, you'll run it fine on high.
okay cool...Must decide...save up for a new graphics card..or get this game....
I'm saving up for a new CPU and GPU (Q9300 and a 5770) then I'll get this game, the upgrade is needed anyways
or I'll cave and get it for the Xbox
so this game's linear and singleplayer right? does that mean I won't miss out much if I just rent it?
Fuck it. I'm buying it..
here are a few dx10 very high/high screens, they are bmp though so huge didnt notice till i started uploading them

that dude in the 4th one was hardcore, took 2 bayonet thrust to the head to kill him
Any pictures of the gore yet? My internet is too slow to load up all those pictures in the post above me.
Fucking whore in Riga. :argh:

There's some free roaming when you get to each of the safe houses. From what I've read the safe areas are amazing in their own right and there's so many things going on at the same time it's hard to keep track of it all. Really adds to the atmosphere though.
So wait, how does the good/evil system work? There never really were any moments where it was apparent, but there seems to be a good ending and a bad ending. I got the ending where you [sp]nuke the dark ones[/sp], is that the good or bad ending?
Hahaha, holy shit. Someone must have mentioned this by now but-
The one guy finds a book called "Roadside Picnic" (Roadside Panic)
If you get the the reference, you win.

:aaa:
I'll post gore pics when its done installing and I find some gore :smile:
As per gore, it's very-very subtle but when you notice it's all that more amazing. Like, I didn't notice until I was almost to Polis. I was picking ammo off a guy and noticed a few little bloody pocket holes where I had shot him. Very realistic looking I might add.
I'm going to post my own first-impressions soon.
Did anyone else notice that you could shoot the gasmasks off of guys outside, and watch them choke to death? :v:
