2. Added a Fast Menu option in the Main Menu

Poland = WIN.

Didn't like the demo all that much (mainly the corridor design), but i'd like to support them, somewhat, so first sale, no matter how shitty, will get a purchase from me. Your move, Gabe.

Where did you find the patch notes?

Awesome review scitek, seriously informative unlike the empty buzzword shit from the usual 'journalists'.

Man why isn't this game a top seller on steam and why isn't this thread on the front page.

Go buy it you heathens, can't call yourself master race members if you don't support this.....

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

yay, restarted steam, dl'n now

 

[Corky]

Anyone with SLI running the game? I'm getting very odd performance. 60 fps with 1 card, 70 fps with 2 cards >_<

 

[SLV]

Liking the game so far, reminds me so much of good old Painkiller, those were the days of scareing my self shitless The game itself is fine though, having loads of oldschool fun, if not for some tiny immersion breaking stuff i discovered early on...

 

[Spoo]

I'm stoked they're doing 3d vision for this -- I actually use that

Completed the first level.

feels good.

very sad!

 

[SLV]

You'l get there someday
Uploading that glitch of sorts to youtube as we speak, well not really a glitch but, oh well you will see for yourself, was like a blast from the past for me atleast

maybe you could bring some well needed change

 

[scitek]

Exactly. I'm in the camp of, "if you don't like the way someone else is doing something, do it yourself instead."

 

[SLV]

Well here is my little venture, take it for what it is

Other side of Hard Reset

1080p, 5.1 etc.

 

[Hazaro]

DP, but my reviews up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pex0KcXglTw

Very solid. Brought up a lot of the points I liked about it.

Kind of a relief. Were it Crytek, you'd probably see an ocean back there despite there being no water in the game at all.

well, that's the way it's done in other games too. All modern games.

 

[SLV]

I do realize that, that it is like that in all games, i know it very well, i just didnt think id stumble across something like that so easily, hence the 90's gaming reference IMO.
Anyway dont take it seriously, im not trying to badmouth the game or anything, just showing of, what i found Peace, im off to bed.

 

[Deadbeat]

At least they cull their maps properly.

How is that "so 90s?" when modern games still design levels the exact same way? You obviously weren't intended to get up there as you noted.

I'm finding the shotgun nice for keeping away those small critters.

Welp, i did say that the fact that i stumbled so freely to such an area is what i consider " 90s", not the way games are designed >.<

Im off before i get lynched

Fuck that, aim higher, become a journalist in a respectable field. (or at least a more respectable one with higher standards, most journalism is going down the shitter, you could do some good anywhere)

Haha I can't even get the gaming sites to pay attention to me. And I just wanna be a critic, not a journalist. Maybe I could pitch my reviews to Revision 3 or Twit or something. :lol

 

[Creamium]

This game is such a blast. I don't care if it's over soon (dunno, just entered the

Spoiler

train station

), I'll just play it again. Does anyone know if you can start NG+ on a higher difficulty with all your upgrades? Or do you have to stick to the same difficulty? The former would be awesome.

Why would you expect a bunch of nobodies who just fumble around in the dark on their subject matter to be able to recognise decent work?

I'd still aim higher if I were you.
Do you really want to tell your grandchildren in 40 years that you were a video game critic in your highdays?
They 'll judge you by the work of your peers, hell the youngest one will probably start crying and then you have to answer to its parents and apologise for filling their vulnerable young minds with depressing stories again.

Noone in the retirement home would want to talk to you, and you only ended up there in the first place because your children didn't want their friends to find out what you did for a living when they have them over, so they sent you away.

This could probably be it's on thread, but it comes down to them being the only "professional" review outlets focused on gaming I know, really. It's either that, or make crappy YouTube videos and hope I get enough subs to make some money off of it. Not my thing.

Edit: nice edit lol. I review movies for a site, too.

 

[Creamium]

The former.

Incredible. Second playthrough will probably be even more fun than the first then.

 

[Salsa]

so bummed that i cant get this from Steam in order to save for Arkham City.. still waiting on it to pop-up on GMG

 

[RibbedHero]

Played it a little just now. Even with fast menu enabled I feel the menu is too slow. Otherwise, the game is good fun.

 

[leng jai]

This game just looks and sounds so good. Loving it.

The animation of the weapons while they're firing are really well done too.

 

[Grayman]

great review scitek. I had already bought the game but where can I watch out for your stuff for games I am thinking about in the future?

 

[leng jai]

When do you get a new weapon? I've played about an hour and am still using the same two from the beginning:S

 

[sykoex]

Use the upgrade terminals.

 

[leng jai]

Use the upgrade terminals.

Yeah just figured it out. Seems you never pick up weapons.

 

[scitek]

There's only two main guns, but they morph into different guns. Use the upgrade terminals as said above.

EDIT: Nevermind.

I always put my stuff on my YouTube channel, and then if I get a review copy of something, that'll be posted on ctrlaltkill.org. I do a lot of LTTP stuff, though, as I'm playing through my backlog and reviewing it as I go, so that's strictly on YouTube. I'll post new game stuff over on GameTrailers, too, and it's usually in the Featured User Movies section on the front page within a day or so.

 

[sykoex]

Wow the charge shot for the N.R.G. is saving my ass. As long as you aim it well you can really wreck some shit.

 

[Semblance]

Game feels fantastic. Looks amazing cranked up all the way, too. I'm really pleased with this game.

They kinda overdid SWOLLEN RED BLOOD SCREEN just a tad, though. An option to disable that would have been much appreciated, but I'll live. I guess!

 

[CornBurrito]

Ah fuck. Just when the game was getting easy (on Insane) they start throwing enemies at me that can shoot energy particles.

I have to take down two of them and a walker. I figured I could EMP stun the walker, then run up and shotgun the shooters, but I seem to take too much damage from their shots.

What's the best way to take them down when I only have the main rifle upgrade, two shotgun upgrades, and all three plasma upgrades? Just hide, charge a plasma shot, and fire?

For the guys who shoot energy particles just strafe constantly and you should be fine. Also don't be too shy to backtrack down stairs or something to get to a safer place and let them come to you.

Ok. I probably did so poorly the first time because it caught me by surprise. I'll make sure to strafe.

Kinda wish I had invested in the EMP Mortar upgrade though. A ranged stun grenade would make the fight so much easier.

Thanks for the advice.

 

[Grayman]

These fights are a lot harder without the billion upgrade points the demo offered. I am a little passed you obsessed and had to take a break because I was hitting a wall every few fights.

 

[scitek]

So, I found out that you can enable console commands again just by editing the config.cfg file in C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Hard Reset\profiles\xxxx (xxxx being your usernames)

Just remove the # in front of the line you want to edit and it should enable it in the console (I copy/pasted each line and moved it up to the top with the other enabled commands, just to be sure, though). I'm hoping it's possible to get rid of the red jelly that clouds the screen when you get hit. I tried changing g_enable_blood to 0, and the jelly's still there, just no longer red. :\ I found a command to get rid of the hud, though, I'm gonna give that a try now.

EDIT: Bah, doesn't work. Just gets rid of the crosshair and the text in the menus.

 

[sykoex]

I'm halfway through the IVth level on Insane and got to the first boss-like thing (called

Spoiler

Caul-Dron

), reminded me of something out of Metroid Prime. The shotgun and RPG came in real handy. Seems like every few encounters I fall in love with a new weapon lol.

 

[Grayman]

I should invest in more crowd control because the game introduced another run forward melee enemy. They do seem awfully familar

 

[Grayman]

lets start having fun:
# g_player_acceleration "8.0"
# g_player_backward_ratio "0.7"
# g_player_jumping_control_direction "0"
# g_player_aircontrol "3.0"

And the NRG charge shot sounds just like Prime's charge beam.
