When Crysis 2 came out, I often read it would look hardly better than Crysis 1 (or even worse), because C1 had DirectX 10, while Crysis 2 is a DirectX 9 game and once you would enable DirectX 10 in Crysis 1…!11!!111!!! For me, DirectX 10/11 never did more than run significantly slower, but still [...]
Some perceive Bioshock 2 rather as a try to cash in once again on a successful game and setting, (okay, this is probably true too) but whoever can look beyond that (and isn’t turned off by the mere fact of a sequel), finds a very decent game. I even dare say, it’s indeed better than [...]
Wie Mainstream das Internet inzwischen (endlich?) geworden ist, merkt man bestens daran, dass es nun (das sagen andere zwar schon seit Jahren, aber mir drängt es sich im Augenblick geradezu unübersehbar auf) kein reines Rückzugsgebiet für Geeks oder Andersdenkende/Freigeister mehr darstellt. Früher™ konnte man noch bei störenden, (aber trotzdem) dominierenden Ereignissen (“Promi”-Hochzeiten, Karneval, Fußball-Whatevers, “Musik”-Irgendwas…) [...]
Other than the screenshots in my first entry (DirectX 9 Renderer, no HighDef Textures), all of the following screenshots were made using the DirectX 11 Renderer and the “High Resolution Texture Pack” and all effects enabled/set to max. I always felt that the difference was close to zero (which isn’t even meant as a negative [...]
That doesn’t look like the big, all-explaining secret I hoped to uncover… Important point: Portal 2 is as good as many people hoped it would be. All positive gameplay elements from 1 are present and were enhanced where it mattered and where it was beneficial to the puzzles. It’s all very solid and great. It’s [...]
Sucks, that they present something, that might reveal an integral part of the story, in a handwriting I can only partially read… I must be one of, apparently, two people (or an equally exclusive group) on this planet, who really liked Singularity. It probably wasn’t the best shooter ever, but not being a total hit, [...]
Just when you think it’s done and over with. :D Best support EVER. Unofficial English Patch 7.4a by Wesp5 (171 MB) / Changes / Planet-Vampire Hotfix 7.4a fixes a bug in version 7.4 where Larry stays completely mute. Unpack all files within the hotfix zipfile, overwriting the older ones. Or download the full patch 7.4a. [...]
This title already sums it up. Kind of. Dead Space 2 is easily among the most fascinating single player experiences, games ever offered and although 2011 is still rather new, I dare to say it’s certainly one of the best games of this year. There is little else in this genre to compare it with, [...]
