God wait till you get further in =). Combat gets a lot easier once you get the hang of it*Melee wins btw*<BR/><BR/>As for Xbox..<BR/><BR/>Well I WOULD have agreed with you, but my unit bricked itself yesterday for no reason. A month after warranty expired, had it just barely over a year. My NES to this day still works, but MS can't make a system that lasts this long?<BR/><BR/>So I bought a PS3. I must say I'm really happy with it so far. As for exclusives, I'm really looking forward to Heavy Rain*made by the guys that made Indigo Prophecy*. There is a huge list of PS3 only games coming out 2009 but i'm too tired to remember them.<BR/><BR/>I like Xbox 360 games, but I must say MS lost a fan yesterday due to a variety of factors.Danshirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022207369260811095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-49234006847338374402008-12-16T12:30:00.000-05:002008-12-16T12:30:00.000-05:00*agrees with Rory**agrees with Rory*Teshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760350503235227686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-77751780480106864542008-12-16T12:18:00.000-05:002008-12-16T12:18:00.000-05:00Yeah it's an AMD 5200+, about a year old or so and...Yeah it's an AMD 5200+, about a year old or so and a 7950GT. So it's still a firm DX9-generation system. I'll probably update the CPU and videocard next year at some point once I decide what I want. But the TR issue seems to be the same "stuttering" as in LOTRO where it's not looking ahead of my rendering range and waits til things should be rendered to load the new models and textures from the hdd. Only it's happening more often than I get in LOTRO. Also the same texture swap issues as LOTRO that "jolt" from immediate swaps instead of a blending effect like WAR used that was much smoother and I never noticed any stutters. Yes, WAR actually did *something* right! It seemed like WAR looked ahead of me and pre-cached the new higher-res texture so when it swapped (which was a smooth blend instead of insta-swap) I never saw any jolts or stutters at all. Even GW will stutter *just a little* sometimes during those insta-swaps it does.Talynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848472705380445923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647535028551977680.post-31636825791255414262008-12-16T11:54:00.000-05:002008-12-16T11:54:00.000-05:00I still buy Playstation 2 games.

Blurry textures and sub-par animations don't help either, nor do all the invisible walls and poor terrain. And I'm only in the first area!<BR/><BR/>I did think it was interesting the few times I've seen other people on, that many had absolutely no clue the game was shutting down.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I never got a POS3, not that I was really considering it; I intensely dislike Sony's penchant for everything to be their own proprietary tech, far worse than Microsoft, in my own opinion. I kept my PS2 for years before getting an Xbox because frankly it took that long before the Xbox had enough games I'd get to make it worth the purchase. I wasn't going to buy an Xbox *just* for Halo, that's for damn sure. And I won't buy a POS3 *just* for... oh wait, there *aren't any* good POS3-exclusive games...Talynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848472705380445923noreply@blogger.com
