Well, It's been two months since I've last written a blog post... So, here it is.
I'm level 10 finally! It doesn't really matter considering I never get on Gamespot much at all anymore. I might log on once a week, and that's about it. I might upload a video sometime this year, but if I do, it's not like I'll have any valid points to make... I've pretty much just lost interest in Gamespot. I find it rather boring, and I simply cannot stand the overcrowded community on the forums. I prefer to be on a website that isn't so overpopulated, so you can actually develop some kind of personal relationships with people that share similar game interests as you. That might sound kind of stupid, but that's just the way I think...
Hmm... Games? Yeah, those aren't going that great. I've lost not only interest in Gamespot, but in games as well. I've downloaded a few demos, such as Unreal Tournament 3, Call of Duty 4, Timeshift, Jericho, Fear: Perseus Mandate, and Crysis Beta.
Unreal Tournament 3 seems simply awesome as far as gameplay goes. The only problem is, it performs absolutely horribly on my computer. I have an 8800gts, AMD X2 5400, and 2gb RAM, so I don't know what the hell that's all about... It seems like everyone who has similar specs to mine is running games a lot better; although I have a resolution of 1680x1050, it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
Call of Duty 4 wasn't that interesting; In fact, it felt almost the same as the previous ones. It was slightly better in certain ways, but not that much seemed to interest me. It just felt like the same linear gameplay that Call of Duty has always seemed to have.
Timeshift seemed really cool. The actually shifting of time itself in the game confused me for a little while, but I got used to it and grew to enjoy it and use it well. Not only that, but it looks great too, as well as runs pretty smoothly. It seemed to look a little bit like Gears of War to me for some reason... Though I don't know why.
FEAR: Persues Mandate wasn't very impressive. I loved the original FEAR game, then Extraction Point kind of brought it down a little bit, and from what I've played so far, the newest expansion does nothing to make it any better.
Jericho was very enjoyable to me. It had a very dark storyline, which I personally tend to find interesting. Graphically, it was very impressive, in fact, one of the best looking games I have seen so far. Especially in terms of lighting. It didn't run that good, but didn't necessarily run badly either.
Crysis... Oh my god. Piece of sh*t. I was really looking forward to it, and then the beta was just awful. It ran horribly, didn't look particularly good, and the gameplay bored me. It was just one big disappointment, but I'm hoping when they release the final demo it will be much better.
Well, I'm going to try to fix some performance issues with my computer. While it could be my resolution, it shouldn't adversely effect every game I play as bad as it is... I'm going to first try adjusting some settings, if that doesn't work, I'll try out nHancer (google it) which will hopefully help my framerates. If neither of those work, I might download a different Operating System, and then, when worst comes to worst, I'll reformat my computer.
Well, I've written quite a bit, so I'm off.
Comments would be nice.
