I also happened to grab star wars republic commando that's one I've been wanting to check out for a while.

Fire Warrior is a buggy game. Were you able to finish the first level? I ran the config tool on a VM and had to play through the first level on another machine.

Is the story in Republic Commando original? I don't like SW games that rely heavily on plot lines from the movies.

yeah I got through it fine I'm currently past the prison cell section. the higher rank officer enemies are really starting to piss me off though it takes dozens of rounds to kill them and if they get close to you they rip through your hp with their chainswords.
I don't know but I hope not I'm hoping it's like dark forces or shdow of the empire.

So apparently The Callisto Protocol has been refused classification in Japan due to violence etc, dev refused to make changes to re-submit... so the game is basically "banned" there :lol

Got R18+ rating here and is available for purchase :pwacko:

Such a waste :revwacko:. I'm interested in one for PC software when the used price starts falling.

I got Steam games to play too, so not exactly a waste. Plus I wasn't the one who bought it, was a Christmas gift from the fiancee. :D :wacko:

Nice. I'm waiting for the prices to drop more. Or waiting for a price drop if there ever is one.

It's been popular enough that I think it's likely to get a successor.

spent all week playing a game called littlewood to take a break from fire warrior. I went back to fire warrior today and I'm done with it. 3 levels into the game and it's become nothing but bullet sponges (and lots of them) 100% enemy accuracy and no reloads bullets are ripping through my armor and health like it doesn't even exist, I'm spending entire clips at point blank range and not even killing 1 of them I'm stuck fighting in narrow corridors with nowhere to hide or backtrack to, to reload or regen my armor.
I'm going to be checking out republic commando and a game called section 8 which looks pretty cool hopefully it'll be good.

Well if it gets a successor, the original models should go down in price.

started republic commando after having to troubleshoot it crashing on me when trying to start a new game(bumpmapping has to be set to low or off fro ati/nividia cards) i can't give much of an opinion on the game yet but it doesn't seem to directly follow episode 2 story wise but maybe it follows the clone wars mini series(I have no idea since I never watched more than a few minutes of episode 2 and never watched any other star wars stuff after that)
1 rather amusing(or rather irritating) thing is the blasters have horrible accuracy, it's no wonder why storm troopers never hit anything :pwacko:

Valve will probably clearance and then discontinue the original models if they release a successor at some point. If Valve doesn't can it out of the blue the used price should eventually go down.

I fired it up (normal difficulty) and enemies were dying with a reasonable amount of fire (several enemies on one clip using the gun they drop). What resolution were you playing Fire Warrior at?

not really it's warm and there's no snow, you'd think it's spring already or fall it's hard to tell anymore :shrug:

It wouldn't be hot like here though :lol
I worked NYE, got home around dinner time and had to run the a/c until about 11pm just to cool the house. It's still 25c inside the house atm and a little warmer outside.

Wasn't like 40c today but it was hot enough with no wind at all. Some parts of roads were remelting like usual, you can smell the bitumen :wacko:

Shit, didn't realise it was well after 3am. Guess I should get some sleep :P
Got a couple of days off now to get my sleep pattern right again anyway.

You might have less issues at 800x600 and limiting it to 60fps. There are better games to spend your time on :wacko:.

If you decide to give it a spin please let me know how it goes. I'm curious to know if it's more stable than the PC version.

I don't think they will either. They don't seem to be producing many at a time though.
