What is with everyone saying it takes 1000 shots to kill enemies? You guys must have the worst ****ing aim of all time, headshots are one shot kills, aim at the chest and it takes six shots, the legs take over 10 for obvious reasons. Shotguns are one-two shot kills depending on range, so I don't see how this game is any different to most games out now. The only thing that ****es me off is that I don't have enough diamonds for more syrette spots and I keep running out.

Just want to ask what range do you shoot at? I play plenty of FPS games so trust me, my aiming is fine. The muzzle rise is so great in most guns, which is probably where most of the complaints originate from. The excessive muzzle rise can cause people to miss more than they are used too.

look what you just said, most of these enemies do not even have armor. SIX SHOTS TO THE CHEST! (WIth a ****ing heavy machine gun) And head shots are relatively difficult especially in the middle of a crazy firefight. Snipers are the best solution, mostly one hit kill. That said I still really like the game but they need to fix the damage.

Ironically I NEVER run out of Sarettes

Nah I'm not kidding :p World in Conflict run like crap on my PC :( but Crysis runs fine (on low) :/ go figure.

Hmm sounds like you need a fairly beefy GPU to run this game, most of the people reporting the game running well have fairly high end cards...I don't think my lowly 8600GTS would cope with this game, guess I'm skipping it after all :p

no this game is pretty optimized, my 9600gt runs ultra settings, you could run high probably with that (depending on res) btw the 8600gts is the recommended requirement for this game.

Yeah I noticed that, for some reason I wrote that off as a typo :p (as I would of expected a 8800GTS to be the recommended card). Well I might get it now.

EDIT: Scatch that, I will get it :) I've decided to just upgrade my graphics card in the next month or so (planning on getting a GTX 260, as I've heard others with the same PC as me run it no worries, I was hesitant about it for a while but decided in the end sometimes you just gotta do it rather then spend an eternity thinking too much about it :laugh:)

Having problems running this properly, but its not the video, its the sound.

I cant hear any reload animations, phone conversations (the phone ringing either) and other sound anomalies. Also, if an NPC is talking, I can only hear them in either the right or the left channel only (depending where my crosshair is).

I'm using it with an Audigy SE on vista x32. Any thoughts?

It really takes the fun out and has made it unplayable for me.

Noone?

About the game, I'm bored already. They try to up the realism yet in certain areas all realism goes out the window. Go into a cease fire area and sneak up an enemy on his own and knife him. The whole town comes after you. Must be some physic ability I don't know about.

And I echo the thoughts about an enemy taking too long to kill. 2/3 shots to the head and nearly a whole clip to the torso.

Doubt I will be playing this game for much longer, mainly due to the above mentioned sound issue.

Multiplayer definitely takes some getting used to but I can really see myself getting into it :woot:

Awesome game!

Me too as there is effectively loads of maps, due to map editor, I just hope custom made levels get popular to play, and not just between friends.

I'm struggling to understand why this game is getting such great reviews. The repetition is awful (driving through the same goddamn checkpoints at every intersection with the same jeep ramming me from behind), the AI is bad, the story is nonexistent (I thought I was supposed to be looking for this Jackal guy), I have to trample all over the place for 1 piddly diamond at a time, and I spend the vast majority of the game driving through the above frustrations. Plus the previously-mentioned problems with the cease-fire area and the confusing directional sounds.

Hopefully they'll fix these issues in the next game, which would make this a great FPS. But for now, they obviously made a deal with PC Gamer for those wonderful pre-release reviews.

Rust bucket with weeds and a plastic ant? Awesome (N)

And you are right, you'd have to be a mental to have that sitting in your room and actually enjoy having it.

Yet it's awesome for people who play games out doors in their back garden :p

Just got the game an hour or so ago, anyone having problems playing it? I get ill and feel claustrophic after playing for a while. After a bit of searching I found that it was down to a fudge the devs made in order to play in Widescreen and as such the FOV is too low, probably what is making me feel ill :(

Other sites are now posting this news too, so why wasn't it mentioned in any of the reviews as its pretty obvious when playing :(

Just alliveated a lot of my driving issues. I take the bus all the time now. It is so useful you just have to remember to use it. :p

boogerjones, not sure why you are complaining so much. In GTA you have to drive everywhere (especially IV) halfway across the map or use taxis, same principle here (just a bus). I'm glad in Far Cry 2 we have an indicator for diamonds instead of NOTHING in GTA IV for finding pigeons. Yes the diamonds give you money per say while the pigeons give you nothing, but I'm sure you could still get through the game without when missions give 10 or 10+ usually.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.

      I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
