Alice Madness Returns impressions - I love how the game looks, but this is the first UE3 game, when I'm hitting stuttering on level load issues (or first one when I actually notice them).
Pretty bad at that - game runs at fluid 60fps, you enter a new area or just break some crates for teeth - boom, 2-3 fps for a second or so...
Anyone know if anything that can be done about it, short of buying an SSD drive? I have 8 GB of RAM, so why can't I preload most of the game to it?
Not sure if I still shouldn't switch to Easy - I'm still in chapter 1 and fights are already getting kind of hard - and when you die during fight segments, you need to replay from last checkpoint. Weird decision that - missing a jump returns you to the last ledge, why couldn't this work for fights?

The game gets repetitive after the first chapter. And those chapters are very long for no reason. You should play it on easy since I didn't find normal any rewarding

Did you try disabling Physix or changing any other settings?
You can't disable it, but it's set on Low. AA is disabled as well, I just used RadeonPro to add SMAA and force triple buffering.

It's been a while but I don't remember this problem at all and I ran it from a regular drive.

damn, I thought you get to play as gay tony in ballad of gay tony or something, kind of disappointed that you don't
It's still a really good game.

Still better than the entirety of GTA4.
Why would you not like good games? Are you Derrick 2.0?
It's completely region-free.
I've concluded that corrosive just hates Metroidvanias, which is obviously a bad opinion he should feel bad about.

Too bad Nuuvem refuses to sell it to me

Use a VPN to add it to your cart.
Roughly USD$8.
Nvidia or AMD? If you are on nvidia and you have already turned Physx low, you could check the nvidia cp and change the physx settings there. It's probably set to automatic, could be worth the shot to switch that to either cpu or gpu and see what happens.
There's also a trick I used a while back that reduced level streaming stutter on my previous system, which is to set "OnlyStreamInTextures" setting to True.

Why not buy from Amazon, you'll get $5 credit towards to the next purchase
Anyone want the second one?

Ah, wasn't aware of the $5 credit. No catch?

Somebody got to pick up his mantle, and preserve his legacy.
I should play the ones I've already bought. I never play pinball because I suck at it, and I suck at pinball because I never play it. It's a vicious circle of suckage.
Of course, I'm going to buy this pack as soon as it goes on sale.
The only catch I can see is that your next purchase must be in Digital Video Game department in Amazon

Well, you could use ramdisk to install the game on to your RAM, but I don't think 8 GBs is enough.
What's your CPU?
True, with one exception: Military Orders unit graphics pack is 50% off. Exciting stuff.Falexandre said:
Yeah, with 8GB of RAM you'd be left with around 400MB for everything else.

A lot of the Pinball FX2 tables are easy, some say too easy.
Pentium G2030, Radeon 6770, 8GB RAM, win7
UE3 sometimes have issues with load times on dualcore systems, I experienced it in Mass Effect 2 and Last Remnant where loading screens lasted for 30+ secs instead of a few seconds.
The workaround is to open the task manager and play around with the process affinities by rightclicking the process. I'd remove CPU#1, then enable it, then remove CPU#0 and back, and maybe alt+tabbing back into the game in between. After that load times would be normal. All of this is probably not necessary (the alt+tab especially), on the off chance this actually fixes your issues you can probably figure out a quicker way to do it.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Locking the game at 60 through Rivatuner and setting my monitor's Hz at 60 worked for me. Still not perfect, but the stutters and enmormous drops became very, very rare.
Fights will get much, much easier after a few upgrades.
Is there an ETA on when it's leaving Early Access? Squeenix has imposed price parity so the Russian prices are, relatively speaking, absolutely insane.
Nah, it has to be those -10% Toki Tori 2+.
At one point there was over 50 pages of inventory of those in Trashbot.

Page 13 here. I guess it depends on how many posts per page. 13 beats 7 though, so I win.
That's a pretty solid deal. They aren't without their issues, of course, but each one warts and all is worth the $4.
Well, context matters. That was given to owners of Toki Tori when the game launched, plus it stacked atop the pre-existing Summer Sale discount, whereas the -33% Psychonauts coupon was a recent reward for crafting even though the game's been bundled and 75%+ off a million times.
Not a bad deal for people who enjoy FPS games and some "revolutionary" plots (I could personally never get into the games)

We're putting our house on the market soon. This is really going to cut down on the Dark souls time over the coming weeks.

This is false. Less clicking : more winning.

Thumbs up. And I just read two very positive reviews, sounds like a success.

Why is that?
Can't seem to find any word on a timeframe for the open beta (when it goes f2p). If I find anything I'll post it here.
Have you tried System Shock 2 by chance?
I played both Bioshock 2 and Infinite for the first time last year, enjoyed the former while not liking the latter. Need to replay the first game at one point, haven't played it in years.
Souls takes precedence over everything.

Might wanna PM him the link instead and edit your post
I can't help but notice you're not my Steam friend. We should remedy that.
I like good games just fine. But remember, good is subjective.
And I'm definitely not Derrick. I just have opinions that doesn't coincide with the masses at times and I'm not afraid to voice them.
As for Shadow Complex, It was okay, but I don't think it deserves half the hype people gave to it. It's been a long time since I played it and I honestly don't remember a lot, other than some negatives. After being super hyped for it... and then feeling like something was just off... I recall thinking "I'm going to finish out the achievement list and be done with this.". And I did just that. However, it's worth noting that while I sort of compare Strider to in in terms of look/feel, it did a lot of things better than Strider overall.
