Xtreme2damax Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've been playing Devil May Cry 4 (PC) so far it has proved to be an awesome port. I can run it quite decently with my ancient hardware consisting of an AMD64 x 2 3800+ @ 2.0 Ghz, 1 GB of DDR2 ram, and a Geforce 6150LE. Running at a resolution of 640 x 480 with shadows on high, textures on high, and quality on low. I typically see between 15 - 30 FPS. They did an incredible job with optimizing this game for even older hardware. Graphics - 9/10 - Not a flashy as other PC/Console titles but it is quite a beauty. Gameplay - 7/10 - Fast paced and edge of your seat gameplay. Cons are camera angles and controls which can be a bit frustrating. Also boss fights are recycled multiple times without much thought put into originality. Sound - 10/10 - A great soundtrack with decent voice acting, very believable at times. Overall 8/107/10 for gameplay?!? While it is fun during Nero's run, but when you need to go through the boss fights multiple times and running through the same level, the boredom can really get on you. I tried playing a 2nd run, but i give up halfway due to sheer boredom. Good for one run only Well gameplay wasn't all that bad to warrant anything lower, except those minor/moderate issues thus is why I only subtracted three points. It is quite fun except they should of used different bosses. The PC port is amazing considering how optimized it is, you should try the other modes/levels such as LDN, Bloody Palace, DMD..... I don't mind playing this again and again even though boss fights are repetitive. I'm guessing the reason the levels are so linear/small is for optimization, I'm guessing since this title was originally developed with a PC engine they wanted it as optimized for older hardware as much as possible.

Inky Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 played about 30 minutes of tails of vesparia and thought it was complete crap. way to anime for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotica Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I am going though Half Life 2 again, and finding that, while the game is good, it is not the best game the world has ever seen as many would have you believe. The gameplay is abit repetitive, the music is atrocious and the enemy AI is non existent. I'm also starting Heavy Metal FAKK 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I loved the music in HL2. I think Valve does their music well. But you're pretty right on the AI, it's just not there most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 How can someone not notice music in games? P.S. The Half-Life 2 soundtrack is effin' awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Valve uses music very sparingly and only in special occasions to make the situation dramatic. The music in Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was really great, especially the final battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverlordMondo Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I played through Elite Beat Agents. I definitely noticed the music. Amazing game, too. Agents are go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
