Kinda hate myself for asking this but you reckon this game would play better ( see : feel better ) on a pad than with kb&m on pc?

I haven't had any control issues with M/KB I don't see how a pad would improve things. Heck it's one of the rare PC ports that actually lets you disable mouse acceleration in the options.

Wat? I didn't see that. Is it an .ini tweak? All I could see was sensitivity and invert.

Is there a PC GAF Syndicate? I'd like to join when I pick up the game later today.
 
Can anyone shed some light on this?

For the PC version how does the co-op work? can you make a public game and people will join? please don't tell me you have to make a private match and get 3 other people, man that would suck. Match-making or public games would be great. And is there drop-in drop out?

Anyone?

There is sensitivty, invert and mouse acceleration. I can't remember what they called mouse acceleration though, it has an odd name. I'll try to remember to check when I get home.

It has matchmaking, same as the console version.

Between this, Deus Ex, Dead Space 3, and Binary Domain, I'm really hoping for a boom in sci-fi shooters. I'm finally getting back into shooters because of it.

That said, I can't decide which has better environments between this and Deus Ex. Both are really cool in their own way.
 
You know, Riddick and The Darkness are two of my most loved games yet this offering from Starbreeze is a huge let down for me.
Can't be bothered going into detail but it feels like a generic shooter. The lack of a cover system of sorts really sucks too..



The reason is starbreeze isn`t starbreeze anymore. Almost all founders and leads left after finishing dark athena early 2009 and most of them formed the new studio machinegames.

downloading on origin at a lame 500kb

-_-

The weirdest thing happens to me when I install Origin games from disc. Even though I have the disc in the drive, it still feels it necessary to download the ENTIRE game from Origin's servers.

It's bloody annoying when I know it would be faster to just install from disc, and patch via Origin.

Not seen it in any of the options and I just booted it to check.

Yup and a private room but only friends can join.

You should have called it GAF Corp or something similar. It needs to sound like a company!

The bloom is as intended as the piss filter in Deus Ex, so I imagine you'd have to find a mod or tool

edit: Damn that music that plays when you enter New York Upper East Side is heavy

Minus the open ended level design, interesting weapons, multiple objectives and everythign else that made Perfect Dark what it was.
Oh, it's definitely different. Definitely more modern, but it has a very similar atmosphere.
For all it's faults I find Origin's servers to be amazing. I get 12 MB a second off of there consistently.
Origin intentionally lies about it's download speed. It'll even report speeds faster than what someone's connection is capable of.

From the Giantbomb quick look, the coop looks really cool. I'm not usually into that sort of thing, but it looks really sharp.

How many people are playing on PC? I just picked up the PC version, and I'm hoping the multiplayer isn't going to leave me stranded!
 
Ok, is there some sorcery involved with getting rampages in single-player? I get them enough in co-op, but I feel like I'm mowing down groups of guys fairly frequently, but the post-mission wraps still say my highest multikill was... 1.
 
Plenty of games do that and I haven't seen a single one that's actually a QTE. You don't have to go very quickly either. Just mash a bit to pry something open.

Well OK maybe technically it's not a QTE but you all know what I'm saying. And yes I do go very slow because I hate them and it does work eventually, it's still obnoxious though. I thought Starbreeze was better than this.

And yeah I know it's not a real big deal but along with some of my other annoyances about the game, it adds up.
