It's shit on easy (or casual in this game). Once you get used to the different gameplay mechanics it'll get alot easier, in any firefight you should always be either in cover or moving between cover. The only time this doesn't apply is when you're fighting those scampering melee enemies. But you knew this already...right?

I tried the difficulty above hardcore though (unlocked after completion) and it was just no fun. You can only pop out of cover for a couple of seconds at a time otherwise you die. This would be ok if the enemies died in a few shots (ala rainbow 6 vegas) but it takes multiple clips for most of em which gets tedious rather fast.

Whoa it seems Epic fucked up the VGA fix. I can't test it myself at the moment because my 360 broke and I'm waiting for another one but everyone who plays in 1280x1024 on a TFT complains about a very ugly image with a lot of aliasing, also the aspect ratio is still not 100% correct. People assume Epic just upscaled the 640x480 4:3 image to a 1280x1024 5:4 fullscreen image. This is getting ridiculous! I'm beginning to lose all respect for Epic and MS. I always wondered what's the purpose of the Microsoft certification lab if they don't catch these issues before games go retail but it's unbelievable that they don't even notice it before they release a patch that's supposed to fix this.
What's so hard in adding two black bars to the 720p image to create a crisp looking 1280x1024 image with proper aspect ratio and even a 16:9 field of view?? The Epic GOW forum is full of complaints and rage.
I'm glad I didn't pay for the game.

I Think each game engine has a difficulty threshold that if breached just makes the game boring as shit. Funny That developers don't realise this and just keep increasing the badguy hitpoints and shot accuracy for the higher modes.

The new maps are kewl. And people demanding 4:3 support are crazy because they LOSE part of their view on the sides (yes, Epic wont just increase the height of the view but decrease the width). And if your display supports it, use 1280x720 in the VGA settings and make your DISPLAY letterbox it to the center. Of course not all displays can do that but its the fault of the display then. And even on CRT displays you can squish it no probs.

I think the game is great!, though was anyone else dissapointed with the ending? it leaves you wanting more.

So far I've been playing it once every few days or so and ive yet to complete it on Insane mode, Street fighter 2 Hyper Fighting is taking up most of my time on Live!

Shame that SF2 is seriously shit controls,precision,hit boxes you name it microshit have raped it to hell I hope capcom are happy with themselves.

That's an unbelievable stupid comment. You're saying I shouldn't play a game with a 100% official video output method, with a 100% official cable from the manufacturer of the console in an officially supported resolution and expect it to work properly? Heh that's complete nonsense! As long as they offer this solution I expect it work. Period. Nothing more to say about that.

I explained already what they should do. They should do what most developers do, they should take the 720p image and increase the height with fantastic things called black bars. That would be the easiest and probably best way. And no, people who demand proper 4:3 and 5:4 support are NOT crazy for reasons already stated above. As long as these resolutions are selectable in the dashboard everyone should expect them to work. Everything else would be crazy. That's like saying you are crazy when you buy a new car, fill it with the right gas and expect it to drive.

SF2 is a direct arcade emulation with controls translated over the network. And nothing there is "MS" it's all Capcom "through and through".

In the underground section of the game when the guy says to the other dude 'how much is this emulsion worth' and the dude replies 'I can't count that high', Is all that yellow liquid supposed to be gold, or by emulsion does he mean paint?

It's spelt 'Imulsion', if you'd been paying attention you'd know that through the 'lightmass process' it functions as a hyper efficient almost limitless energy source. It's what the war prior to 'emergence day' was fought over.

Your main mission throughout the game is to locate and deploy the 'resonator' to map the Locust tunnel network. This data can then be programed into the lightmass bomb, which will launch it's separate warheads in relation to this data to wipe out the horde.

Now you can go back to killing things. Wink

Well that didnt happen to me but I did finish the game on Hardcore and for some reason I didn't unlock the insane difficulty. Even though I have all the achievements for hardcore. Which means to get the achievements for insane, I would have to beat hardcore AGAIN.

And the last boss is impossible if youre not playing co-operative.

Just this game. Never had anything similar happen in any other game.

I replayed the level/restarted the game and same thing happens at the exact same spot. Maybe a bad burn?

Hmm that is quite weird. It could be a bad burn or fw incompatibly issues with that release. I have the retail version of Gears so I don't really know

lol, I know Smile not much really unless there is a real reason to go online. GoW working is not one of them ...played it on PC anyways Razz

I have newest ixtreme + benq drive (only 3 months old) so I'm probably fairly safe ... don't think I'll get a gold membership anyways.
