Yes, easily. Very smooth.

But the textures weren't any higher resolution than the 360 version, which made them look like crap, IMO. You can't enable anti-aliasing, either, and it shows big-time. The 360 version either has anti-aliasing or there is a very good blurring technique to look like AA. Widescreen mode on PC is also fubared (they cut off the top and bottom segments, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. did before it was patched).

Looks better on the 360, plus I get achievement points. lol

The 360 has "free AA" because of the way it's designed. It can add AA to pretty much any game with little or no framerate cost. There are some times when it has an impact (which is the reason Forza 2 doesn't have it) but most of the time it does a very good job.

Yeah, I thought I read that somewhere, just wasn't sure and didn't want to post inaccurate information. The next set of ATI and nVidia cards are supposed to have Free AA, too.

Gamespot review:

http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/bios...;om_clk=topslot

Hopefully the PC version will be a bit better when they review it. The game has a few flaws hence the lower rating and I have witnessed that gamespot is preety top notch and accurate with their reviews and never blow anything out of proportion like other review sites.

theres reports about it that the picture is "cropped" and zoomed in, but does anyone notice?

Only for the PC version as far as I can tell. Nothing looks wrong for the 360.

Jesus christ, I was walking around looking for telekinesis and like 6 splicers came out of nowhere. I had a slow pump style shot gun and I was just freaking out.

Heh, don't you love it? :laugh:

I've Rescued every Little Sister so far, so I've killed about 5 Big Daddies if I remember correctly.

Damn this game is fun.

Just wondering, how many times do you die on average when fighting those mini Big Daddies? I suck at fighting them and die over and over.

^^^Don't worry, I die a lot too fighting them. It gets a lot easier once I find out what works on them though, but I still end up dying a lot. I actually dont mind though because it gives me a chance to recollect myself. It gets hard to keep track of all my plasmids and weapons that have like 3 types of ammo each and what works and what doesn't. It's so much fun though.

Depends... A couple of them I've died at least three times, but the others I've survived completely. It just really depends what resources I have available at the time.

How long of you guys been playing to already fight Big Daddies?

I have gotten the telekinesis and am making my way back to the barricade I have to blow up, but I have yet to come across a Big Daddy other than seeing and hearing one walking.

Granted I take my time and like to explore and really am obsessed with hacking everything and I refuse to use my auto hacks I have found yet, but I feel like from reading everyone's responses I must be taking my sweet ass time.

Question for those of you who are far along on the "Prometheus" level...

I already became a big daddy. Can I still kill the big daddies in the level with little sisters? They kept getting stuck in the decontamination room thing on me.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
