Lost Planet 2 - need a review
« on: January 11, 2011, 01:24:44 AM »
Saw Hoopy's post on Lost Planet 2 and it made me curious.

Is it anything more than a nicely visual space shooter?

Character development?

Story line?

Replay?

Gratuitous sex and violence?

You know, the usual suspects...

Don't know. Haven't actually played it yet. Probably won't for a while, got a lot of games on my queue I want to play first. But it is very pretty if the benchmark tests are any indication.

It's gotten pretty good reviews as well.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

have it looks really really nice but my video card can't really "play" it (new card very soon but also bigger power supply (thinking 550w should handle it as 400w the requirement) and more cooling because of card  and PS lol Still can't believe HPs stupidity of selling  a system with quad core processor, built in 9100 gpu (sucks purple donkey dongs) but has the pcie x16 slot for a real card (and can go sli with the onboard gpu) and selling it with a tiny 300w PS!!
Anyway, it means if you ain't packin a GTX240 or better video card, don't bother (150fps barely cuts it for this game)
You May Soar with the eagles but Weasels do not get sucked into ramjets! Gotta watch out for the hovercrafts though...
