Crazy_dog no.3 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 First, the good news. I have discovered the joy of playing with headphones with 3D sound. My parents said I have the noise on too high so if there was an explosion the house shook. SO I tried headphones (had there for over 2 yrs and never put them on ) . So now I swear NEVER to play any game without headphones unless a friend is coming over and the want to hear. Bad news- Unreal 2 is a pain in the rear end. Every time I am onto a new level I have to re-install the whole game and that takes like half an hour. So if I want to get onto the second level I have to re-install.

Boba Rhett Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 The hell? You have to reinstall after every level? What error is it bringing up? Have you tried launching individual levels through the console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Oh thanks I might try that. The game exits to desktop and a messege appears saying Critical error, and something about levels, paint and some wierd stuff. I can try to post the whole message tomorrow.

Lord Fergie Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Manipulation.com ... that sounds like a very honest site what if they manipulate the reviews, so that to have a good review you have to pay them TONS of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 tis a bad game. PCGamer seems to think it sucks pretty bad anyway. Gave it around a 70%. Of course I had too much homework last night and couldn't read WHY they gave it that score...I was just flipping through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 PCGamer. Ugh. As ackbar stated, they say a lot. Truth is, if you can't find a way to try the game before buying it, you should read lots and lots of reviews on it until you can find bad points that come up in most of them. THEN you make up your mind on whether those bad points bother you or not. Don't rely on a single source; objectivity in game reviews is purely a myth.

I find PCGamer usually dead on, but I do cross refrence it all with Computer Games, GamePro, GameSpy, and IGN. (when I have time I check the latter two sites, but thanks to school...can't talk...gotta do homework now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
