Euhg, that flashing weapon is horrible! Why on earth would they opt for the immersion of essentially no HUD, and then kill all the immersion they added with flashing weapons?
Wow I tried DX9 for fun today and it runs so so much better. But I still think that DX10 in motion looks way much better. The lighting is also superior.
Well, console players. They used the same stuff in Bioshock, i guess they want to make the game more "accessible"...
just finished playing it. overall good game but there is some room for improvements.. id give it ~ a 9 or 9.25/10
OK I started playing again last night to try and finish this game but I am stuck on the level where you have to turn the power back on in a train station and all these green blobs keep coming out of the ground. I finally got past the first set but now I am at a second wave of blobs and my partner keeps dying. Anyone have any tips? I try to shoot these things as soon as they come out of the ground but they just come from every direction.
Yes, but it just seems so contradictory to making the game with a very limited HUD (a feature I specifically thought was great). Hell, I'd rather have the standard issue half baked console HUD than flashing crap. Oh well.
yeah, i had to replay that damn part ~7 times.. just keep trying and use a fast weapon (main rifle), also don't stay on-top of the things that make bubbles i think they spit at you or something.

Guys, I need your advice. Sorry if this is off-topic, but I'm thinking of buying the Nvidia GT220 512 meg card for purely physx duties. Would this card give decent performance ? I know the card isn't all that great and is significantly slower than my 5770, but purely for physx, would it be worthwhile ? Obviously I wouldn't be buying the card for Metro specifically, but more and more games are using physx and it's inevitable, so yeah. Also, it's really, really cheap. Regards,
you could've just turned off the PhysX and played, i can't believe you gave up the game because of this? imo there are worse reasons not to buy some games (ubisoft new online drm crap for example). oh well. :banana: even a mere 8800gt does a good job, so the GT220 512 will do you fine as long as you use it just for PhysX. http://www.pcper.com/images/reviews/794/slide05.jpg
No it's not lol PhysX has been here for YEARS and a lot of games use it but only VERY FEW require hardware PhysX acceleration to be played properly and only for some non game changing effects here and there. You may not even have one Plus nVidia drivers block hardware PhysX if ATI card is found on systems so you would have to use hacked ones.
I've started a thread in the ATI card section not to contaminate here. Thanks for the advice. Regards,
i just got my 1st gsod! i was trying very high setting, ran not really smooth, after around 30 min, then poof! gsod. the effects in very high setting is amazing. i might wanna wait for fermi to play this game.
Does CPU performance really improve fps in this game ? With my current set up, I find the game playable in some areas at very high and unplayable in others and I know my graphics card isn't the best, but my CPU is nowhere near the best either. Just wondering. Frankly I'm surprised I can even run the game at very high. It's definitely not a slide show and for most of the game, it's not unplayable, it's just not silky smooth. But I see people running much faster hardware and people still end up complaining that the game is unplayable. Regards,
