Other than badly optimized, what do you mean?

I want moar details!

I find it funny that you complain about fps in a new game when you have a $50 graphics card. Oh and it doesn't run all the newest FPS games on the highest settings that's for sure. Unless you count slideshows.

Either way with such a poor FPS I think you would find it hard to give any meaningful judgement on the competitive gameplay. I recently upgraded my PC because I was getting only around 20 fps in Planetside 2, compared to now where I get about 50-60fps. Playing the game now compared to before is like night and day. With such low performance in these types of games where you need to be able to react you simply cannot play properly and thus cannot review properly.

Even if you did have a pc worth having I suspect your post would be the same however since you moan about near enough everything. Personally I have not yet played the game though I have heard good things.

Bummer, I liked the original, but got in way too late, and couldn't be arsed swimming/(blood?flame?)walling myself to glory. Had some good fun running with a small clan, however.

On the note of other stuff, tried Wizardry Online. New quasi permadeath mmo coming over from Asia.

Basically it's a difficult, but very standard, MMO with a chance of permadeath every time something KOs you. Wasn't overly interesting to me personally? But if you like standard hack/slash/lootgrind/levelgrind style MMOs it'd probably be fine.

A fine retort.

Price of card - http://www.amazon.com/PNY-NVIDIA-GeForc ... B00847LDTI / http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 62334&SID=

Performance of card - http://community.futuremark.com/hardwar ... 620/review / http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/nvidia ... 20630.html

As you can see it is a $50 card, and it is also pretty low on the performance scale. Seems I was right about something there right?

Perhaps you would care to elaborate on what it is I am so wrong about? Perhaps you are aiming that comment on some other aspect of my post but I thought I would support the initial and most verifiable comments I made first.

Other than graphics problems, I still wanna hear what else is wrong with the game >=(

Well there has been some big problem with the login servers currently, far as I am aware that is the biggest issue right now. My friend who has it says this is the main problem but that it is really fun to play and very smooth when he manages to make it in game. Early days though I am not yet 100% on buying it myself.

To be fair to Darwoth ::gags:: I saw some demonstrations of some of the "powers" of various classes during beta and like he said, it's been dumbed down to the point it resembles Fable combat if anything. I like the other guy got into the original long after the big crowds were gone and it was fun if hard to find anyone to pvp.

I have a worse rig than you and I'm on constant 50 FPS (occasional freezes but that's due to the global chat bug). Not to mention the beta build is running in debug mode and practically stuffing a ***** in the logfile. So far the game seems just fine, but I never played DF1. I do however wonder how by the gods did AV think this was ready to release in NOVEMBER (their first "release" date), when it's hardly out of alpha right now. They are doing a nice job at communicating with testers/players regarding the issues, so that's good.

I don't like the melee animations too, it looks like something out of a game from 1997. But at least it's not the generic tab target combat. I can imagine PvP being fun.

UI is not the best I've seen, but most of the DF1.0 people think it's still an improvement. Sure feels a bit like it's made for consoles lol.
