I got genji at launch at I luved it, good story, great cut scenes, pure eye candy in most levels the end boss battle looked amazing as most of the game did, I had a lot of fun fighting with the main guy everyone uses I forget his name but it just looks amazing, the only thing I found bad about the game was the camera angle

moste are faked , i had mine since lauch also , never had a problem, but i havent bin playing it 10 hours a day lately, so who knows..IvGot5onit

Mate, you can't say that! Many people have had serious problems with their 360's, lets face it! The console is problematic! Even Microsoft has extended people's warranties! I had the experience where I got error and then the three red lights! Before this it was scratching the hell out of Gears of War! I rang Microsoft and they said "Sorry sir, you must have been jumping around your console causing vibration, because vibrations will **** it up" I said no, the console has been sitting vertically and I have not been jumping around etc, and they kept saying "sorry sir we will not replace your game and its your fault" Its such a problem console its **** I had 2 new 360's both ****ed up within the first 1-2 weeks!

SO ITS NOT FAKED SOME PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY AND GET CONSOLES THAT WORK PROBLEM FREE, WHILST OTHERS SUFFER THE THREE RINGS!!!!!! SO ITS NOT 90% OF PEOPLE FAKING, ALMOST ALL OF THEM WOULD BE TELLING THE TRUTH!! TAKE UR FAN BOY GLASSES OFF AND SEE THE CONSOLE FOR WHAT IT IS! CHEAPLY DESIGNED AND MADE, AND POOR AFTER SALE SUPPORT!

Yeah I hope they do fix the problems, I was kind of disapointed that my machine wasn't running it that well!

Considering I just went and spent a whole lot on money on the latest gear! I'm really keen to play DX10 games so hopefully when they come out I'll be able to run them! Do you think my current rig will do the job?

Hey all this message is for those playing the beta! I have a AMD 64 Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor3800+, with 4.00GB DDRII RAM, and a NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB, I've tried running the game on very high however my machine doesn't seem to handle it as well as I thought!! Is this because the developer has put really high settings on the game, the kind of settings that most machines won't be able to handle for another 1.5-2years? Or is there something extra my rig needs?

Anyway would be grateful for a response ....

Regards

Gerard

Hey I had the same problem!! But don't fret, what Vista 32 bit edition actually does is it adds that RAM to the Video card. A bit like virtual memory, run dxdiag and check your total approximate memory and you should fine that its more then ur video cards norm. This is good because Vista is adding system memory to the video card, this allocation means that if you have bought this RAM for games you'll get better performance. On XP the graphics card memorywould overwrite system memory in mapping itself and that would be a big user of system memory. With Vista its quite dynamic in that that memory is used in games, so ur card has 1GB of RAM instead of 320mb!

If you just want to see the whole 4GB you could do the workaround and remap memory through BIOS , don't know where or how to do this in your motherboard as its different on each brand. Microsofts website www.support.microsoft.com/kb/929605has all the details.

Alternatively if your computer supports the 64bit edition of vista then get that, you can order it and you only have to pay for the shipping, provided that you have a retail version of Vista.

Just got this game, and omg when I heard the voice acting I started pissing myself laughing! It sounds like the employees from microsoft and gas powered games couldn't be screwed paying real voice actors so they did it themselves! It's so bad its almost unplayable!
