To all who shit on this game; game gets good after some full hours of play. If you don't have the patiance for that that's oke a game needs to be relaxing if this game is not relaxing for you then quit. But I (and many more read the forums OUTSIDE nforce) have a real fun with it.


I agree!! you need to play it for a while to get fun!! just try and ignore the bugs

AHHHHH!! can't imagine why people are saying this game is crap. YES, ithas bugs. But people, a game of this complexity is a nightmare to program, and the bugs aren't anything that bad as to be showstopping.

Yes it has FPS problems but i'm sure patches will optimise the code in the future. And plus, I'm able to play this game very smoothly for the most part.

The gameplay is just amazing, it's so free and open ended. The immersion is unmatched by any other game on the market.

And gfx are drool inducing. WTF are u saying they aren't up to today's standards?????

I've spent a lot of time playing this game and it just gets more annoying. You get tired of having to deal with the bugs. So many things are wrong, and the graphics are just the start. Even if they fix all the bugs, the game would still only be OK, because the AI is bad, driving physics are bad, and it isn't satisfying to kill people. I like the RPG element though. It's nice to play a game in South America. And if you disagree then make comparisons. Raven Shield is satisfying when killing people, FarCry has good AI, and GTA has fun driving physics. I also hate when developers try to be "realistic" but end up going way too far. Like when the AK47 "jams". AK47's are notorious for their reliability.

More like famous but i get your point Wink

When i was in the military we tried a whole lot of guns (Berettas to M1's) and seriously, most guns never jams. If taken care of properly of course. The AK5 i used in the military was over 5 years old, had been in active service 4 of those and that weapon didnt click on me in mid clip once. I used it pretty much 3 full days a week for 1.5 year. The only time it did click was when you would put the clip in wrong but thats a human error you do when you're just getting used to the weapon. Saul is supposed to be ex-Legion so come on, i doubt he would fiddle around with clips. So while the jamming could be an interesting detail if applied properly, as it is now its just a joke.

Lol its not mine.. i found the post at gamefaqs.. but that is still a damn nice setup and this just proves even more how fucked up this game really is.


Well then then i guess i am using alien technology since my good old system runs this game great, and i dont know whatever that dude/idiot with that system tought, but with everything at max it is bound to go even below 40fps, you know why?
All that grass man, the mipmap bias does alot, as do the vegetation radius. The grass especially, i dont care if someone has a 6800gt, if you have more grass in a game than it can handle it WILL bog down the system.

Half-Life 2 has no grass (well yes, but we are talking individual bushes of 2 crossed planemaps), no nothing, it has flat polygons with a texture and bumpmap, and a few models thrown in, dont even compare the two preformancewise because it is 2 completely different things.

Thats just the way it is, just like when farcry first came, everyone sat on their leet 5800 and was AMAZED that they couldnt run it on all max. Give me a fucking break, yes the game is unoptimized, but you would never get the preformance you wrongfully expect anyway.

I run it all on highest, except grass and the various detail ranges on half. Because if i had all the LoD shit on highest, i wouldnt be able to keep it smooth no matter if i had two 6800gt sli, because i know my games. Unlike some of you idiots. Cya!

Youre right with that point, the missions suck pretty hard if done all police mission and RTN-25 mission and if done mission in one base for 6 times so i know now where all the people are and what weapons they have..
Killing people is not cool to, its to easy but the game is great! atleast if you liked morrowind youll like this!

The game is out in Europe and soon will appear on the shelves of Russian & USA.
We are working on the patch right now and it will be available online really soon. All bugs met for now concerning problems of running the game are about setting up drivers correctly.

Saul is supposed to be ex-Legion so come on, i doubt he would fiddle around with clips. So while the jamming could be an interesting detail if applied properly, as it is now its just a joke.


Don't know where u serverd but the wapens MISFIRE in this game only when u pick up used one. Like I sayed I don't know where u servered but if a gun fights for 3 years in the jungel full of water,sand,dust etc it is bouned to misfire more then normal, oke in this game that is to much but else the game would be to easy; U start the game go outside the city watch a fight grab the guns and shoot everybody.

Yes of course wear and tear will affect a weapon. Whats wrong about this whole picture is that military, mafia, guerilla etc are running around with jamming weapons. You'd think they'd be a bit more careful with their equipment considering there are gunfights every five minutes in this considerably small area.

On a side note i served in Sweden Smile

The game is dissappointedly tedious, been playing for a couple of hours and it runs very poorly often to the point where I physically feel sick........

Theres a feeling of "abandonement" like your not even real and you dont know whats supposed to be done and wtf is it with that map?/compass? I'm very close to quitting and uninstalling this game mainly because I honestly cannot say that this game is for the type of person who expects to get into things straight away also if you want a deep story driven game I would look elsewhere as you will not be satisfied here.

I'm sure that after you persevere you will find an enjoyable game and one that has lots of replay value.....though admittedly I doubt I will have the patience unless a patch is released.

This was mentioned somewhere (mayby in boiling-point.net???)
open console, type ADDARMOR xx or ADDHEALTH xx (where XX is amount you want). In scandinavian keyboard the console key is "ö".

Anyone think the main character is a tad-bit... lame? The voice-acting of the main char is pretty bad too, IMO. I just can't take Saul Meyers seriously as someone who is out to kick some ass.

The voice acting by the NPCs are pretty bad too. Isn't this S. America? Why does almost everyone have American accents?

And there were two big things that I just sat back at and said, "Oh... this game is going to suck." and it wasn't the lagginess either. It was that shitty intro song. The instruments were great but then the singer had to come in and ruin it. It sounded almost like it was on of the devs who wrote the lyrics and then sang them.

The other blatant thing that really told me the game was going to suck was during the intro, when it showed the quote at the beginning "We all boil at different degrees." and they just HAD to narrate it. IMHO, in order for something to be powerful-sounding or moving, you let the viewer(s) read it, it's much more powerful feeling. You don't fucking narrate it.

Come on San Andreas.

Talking bout cheats...
I was fucking around in the console (~)
And then i just typed "BIND", without the brackets Very Happy
I got a screen that said:
F1 - God
F2 - set clip on

And all that shit, from F1 2 F8, but it did not work....
But you can bind shit 2 f1 and stuff, but you dont have 2 use the "F"
Will this be a bug?

BTW: When you're playing, just open the console, shit there's many errors Sad

I've got a lovely bug myself, i was walking down the street, from the hospital 2 my car...
And when i wanted 2 stop walking, the bitch didn't, it just kept going...
First I thought my keyboard was fucked, but when I remapped my walkinf keys, nothing happened...
And when i'm in a car he doesn't "hang"....
Weird stuff.... I could save and load again, didn't help..
Only fix is 2 start a new game!

Just use the trainer, it has unlimited money, no weight limits(Doesn't work here though), super jump and god mode(besides for explosives to close to you).

Super Jump is freaking hilarious, if you hit a slope you can jump like a mile at a time when you gain the right speed, bunny jumping gone wrong Very Happy

"Sunday Times paper have a review, here it is:

It’s hard to describe a game like Boiling Point. Part first-person shooter,
part role-playing game, part action-adventure, it works with aplomb. The story
line is reminiscent of the Hollywood film Commando: an unknown South American
group has kidnapped your daughter, and it’s down to you to rescue her. While
Arnold Schwarzenegger may have gone in with the subtlety of an irate brahma
bull, you will need to adopt a more cunning approach. Gangs have to be
infiltrated, weapons purchased, skills upgraded — and a lot of people must be
killed. You may have spent 10 years in the French Foreign Legion, but fighting
a three-way war in Puerto Somba — with the government, drug barons and
revolutionary guerrillas — takes a special kind of individual.


On almost every level, Boiling Point pushes the envelope. From the 600 sq km of
terrain, the totally open-ended playing style and the arsenal at your disposal,
to the diversity of the interaction and character development, this is one of
the best games we’ve seen for years. Miss it at your peril.

Five stars - *****"
