Best looking Game

Oblivion was addictive and pretty, albeit very bland, uninventive, and repetitive. It's sort of like the guilty pleasure of an MMORPG, without the MO.

 

It was kind of hard for me to pick CoD4.

I have CoD4, GoW, Assasians Creed, Bioshock, and Rainbow Six on XB360, so all these games I allready have, just not on PC. COD4 gets old IMHO, but then again, I did want something pretty to run on my lappy!

On another note, I sure love this cooler!

 

Oh yeah, I'm sorry about the dumb advice Chase. Forgot you bought the cooler.

What are your temps during load?

 

Well right now I'm attemping to install rivatuner. I took it off earlier after I installed nTune.

 

Ok, with my clocks at 625/850, I hanging around 58-64 playing CoD4 with the cooler.

 

Great temps for an OC!

 

devil may cry at max

versing berial.... srsly when you first get to berial youre like DAYUM THATS HUGE

 

Do you post from an iPod, or some kind of portable device?

 

I'd say Crysis (1). Given I've only played it @ 1280*1024 on High DX.9... with three settings on medium

& Cod4 @ 1400*900 Maxed out looks better, on my hardware (ATI X1950 GT), but if you have the 8800/3800+, Crysis will look much better.

 

Terrible game, just, very boring, the gameplay and a.i is just bad.

- looks good though

 

I only run Crysis in DX10, 1280x 800 all high to achieve playable framerates. (I'm extremely picky though)

 

posting from my ipod touch '!

 

I hope I can do the same with my X50 MV! But likely have to drop a few things down to medium!

You're COD4 pics don't look like a huge improvement! Maybe post pictures of the Middle east missions?

 

Is Specular map actually off? (not trying to Hijack)

 

Wow, those are good ... my 8600m GT probably runs hotter though ... but still I am guessing that you recommend this cooler?

 

If those are good numbers, then yes.

 

I honestly say COD4 with everything maxed gives Crysis a run for it's money. I just finished it and actually liked it better than Crysis as far as gameplay and plot.

 

I agree with the COD4 voters above. It definitely puts a nice shine on the new GPUs.

 

Guys, here is a shot from my CoD4.

Core 650mhz / Mem 880mhz

This is with my cooler. Do you guys think I'm pushing my 8800 gts too far or am I safe with these temps?

 

Bioshock is the best looking game I know; it's all about freakish beauty

I have Voted for Crysis Before as the best looking, but for these times hardware, Gameplay and value, id change my mind and go Bioshock, btw Chase, i cant see your temps.. is it 66 or 86? if its 86 then thats bad Voodoo, if its 66 then thats some cool temps. Also you should check the temps without the cooler, just to have an idea about how hot is the Ram.

 

I could never picture COD4 with graphics that can match Crysis!

Too used to the jag fest that was the 360 version but still, those COD4 pics haven't got the greatest compression so I dunno!

 

Crysis cannot be matched Visually, if i did want to compare the 3 games visually (COd4,Crysis Bioshock)

then it would be Crysis>Bioshock>COD4

Dont get me wrong, COD4 looks fantastic , but in some cases it looked crappy, like the stage where you need to Save Nicolai , when are you inside the house, look at the shadows on the walls, they are on Jagfest Also look at the SKY, for God's sake it looks that it was made with Microsoft paint, i know many games that have better Skies, ET:Quake wars Sky looks as an Equal to Crysis sky IMO. Bioshock is more well made, all the levels are equally Great Visually, the water running on walls, when you melt the ice.. the Character design, the Faces, the Lighting system... its just awesome.

Still Crysis wins. when Better Hardware comes out that is capable of running Crysis @ Full with 60+FPS that would be heaven

 

Oh god, don't remind me about COD4's sky, horrid looking and puts a big dent on the graphics imo!

Bioshock has a great visual style, and the graphics technically are beautiful "water is om nom nom!" Crysis Warhead, looks to be bringing a more efficient engine and in the latest gameplay on gametrailers, the developers are pushing over 40 characters on screen! May not seem like much but compared to Crysis it had about a dozen or so!

 

Yeah i have high Hopes for it, Btw about the water you did remind me of something, there is that Mission Near End Game where you need to hold your location , the Mission has the Usage of a fallen chopper Minigun and blowing some C4 Charges, anyway, if you want down the hill and looked to the river, you can actually see Vertical Lines between Each lets say 2 square meters of water, and i was OMG! what are those borders, it was really Ugly honestly

 

Crysis Hands down with very high settings. I Played CoD4 first and thought it was the best but crysis is much better, and CoD4 has very limited visuals in the enviroment meanings its a small setting, since Crysis is a sandbox its a whole world and that makes a big difference.

 

My vote's for World in Conflict. Awesome story (very Red Dawn like) and awesome graphics, even on 1440x900 on High. Go DX10 and it looks even better.

EDIT: Although I only played the demo of Bioshock, I was "shocked" (lol) by the graphics and storyline, and it scared the bejebbies out of me.

 

the Guys in Bioshock are totally wierd. its gonna stay as teh best FPS i have ever played till Dead Space comes out "and Hopefully run as good as Bioshock"

 

Yes, Specular Map, Glow, Depth of Field, etc. are all on.

And I agree, Crysis and Bioshock are better looking than CoD4, I just think CoD4 is still a beautiful game.

 

it is, and COD5 is gonna have the feature that is missing.. CO-OP!

 

Yes! I heard that too! Finally, some co-op gameplay from something other than Army of Two or GoW...

 

I loved Gears of wars COOP. but the bugs are really unacceptable.. Since Army of two isnt for PC, COD5 must be my savior

 

It was 66.

I ran it for a little bit without the cooler and was seeing around 75 or so.

Im depressed, I just beat COD4 and started playing it last night. Played from about 10pm last night to around 3am... Then I've played 2 hours today using the new headset I bought at work with that awsome employee discount.

 

Yea. I beat it last night too, great game and storyline. I almost felt like I was in a movie and was also sad to see it end.

 

Yup, sadly enough it only takes around 4-5 hours to complete. Now I'm trying to go back and beat it on Veteran... man I suck.

 

That's the second time around with me and that game, first time on pc.

GoW for 360 though, man, thats a hard story to beat. I loved it.

 

Yea. I've now moved on to Bioshock and have been having some weird freezing issues on save screens, but I think I've got it all worked out now. What a weird game so far! lol

 

After I get it patched, you guys wanna go a few rounds online?

 

Is BioShock any good? I bought it on ebay for 360 and never really got into it. Maybe played it 20 minutes at the most. Is it something I should give another shot?

 

You just can't stop teasing can you?

 

Lol... Nope.

 

From my limited experience so far, I'd say yes, give it another shot. The storyline is compelling and the graphics are pretty kickass. But again, I've just started, so my in-game experience hasn't really even begun. I got it from Steam for $15, took about 45mins to download.

 

How big of a download was it?

 

Common guys! Lets play some CoD4!

 

I think the demo is about 900mgs off steam, the whole game however takes 5 gigs of my C. I just finished the game and was impressed throughout the whole game, I thought the ending was kind of a drag though. I'm choosing differently and playing it again for the good ending. Overall it played amazingly well on PC.

 

I will!

Just as soon as I've got my P-7811FX.

 

Well, I downloaded the WoW trial and just took it off after about 10 minutes... Sooooo not me and I'm so far from being interested in a game with that type of setting. Couldn't even get the hang of it.

 

That's some amazing compression right there.

 

LOL@Element.

 

Fable: The Lost Chapters

Has my favoritest graphics ever.

Not necessarily amazing. But gorgeous nonetheless. ;]
