MGS2 Out for the PC!!! My review
« on: March 27, 2003, 09:30:22 PM »
Ok I will make this short and simple, I\'m sure you all know about my methods to obtain games, anyhow MGS2 will be comming out soon for the PC, If you are in the MIRC, or edonkey scence then you have probably already played the soon the be released pc version.

Well all I can say is sloppy port, FPS arn\'t the greatest and after playing spilnter cell for the PC, this game IMHO is not worth buying unless you are a MGS horror!

what is the diff mm... all they did was take the dvd9, ripped it and broke the file into 5 separate parts.

Raped or not, it was free and it\'s the full game final release

about 10 gigs? given the material they\'ve made, it\'d  be surprising if they didn\'t fill it up to capacity.

Then again, Gamesradar.com reviewed an official version and gave it a 59 outta 100. There may be some truth in what Nvidia256 says....

I see you what you mean yes there are 2 download options, the  "DVD9.iso" or the  5 cd version(8.2 Gb-uncompresssed). Most people opt for the cd version, as it takes up to much time for the DVD one. It\'s not stripped of any thing, go read the offfical info in it. The 5 cd version is compressed, while the DVD9 is not. In other words the 5cd version is the dvd9.iso installed
 then compressed into 5 separate images.

Both look and play the same, and i tell ya Sloppy port.  The reason why I made this thread was to warn any you guys that were palnning to buy this game for the pc.

The game runs ok but there are some major graphic problems. The game is VERY dithered looking. It appears like it is running in 8-bit color or something. I have no clue why it is doing this and there doesn\'t seem to be any way to fix it with the game.

Also, shadows don\'t work and the borders on the top and bottom during cinemas are transparent.

I have all details maxed out in these shots (and I\'ve tried lots of different settings as well). The game runs at a perfect 60 fps (during the gameplay, when it is supposed to) and controls and plays perfectly...but it just looks so bad.

It turnes out that knaomi only made it nVidia compatible, so when I put my Geforce4ti4600 in alot of the problems cleared up, yet the game still has fps problems and is yet a sloppy port.

I\'m in the same scene as NVIDIA, except I\'m an FTP man myself, that\'s where warez is at. I had DF:BHD over a week before it came out, and that was the full ISO. I usually get full albums about a week before they\'re out and movies anytime up to a month before they\'re out, warez is a lot bigger then most people think. Even I\'m suprised when some files come on the net.

And that Vietcong game even wants, I could have got that last week if I wanted it. Warez is great. Just my opinion.

lol i\'m downloading Vietcong right now.

Only problem i have is that I have too many games and no time to play them, i\'d say 80% of the games I have downloaded I haven\'t played, nor will I ever since new games are always comming out.
