is it worth it?
Re: Lost planet anyone? - KorJax - 02-28-2009
I guess, but don't expect anything amazing. There's a demo you can download if you want.

It's a good game, but I remember trying the demo and this one runs like shit. I think Colonies is better optimized, iirc Lost Planet was Capcom's first in-team PC port

meaning that it thinks you're using a 360 controller even through you are on a mouse and keyboard. Frustrating as all hell. The tutorial would be all "push the square button" and you would be like FU TUTORIAL.

If your system is beefy enough to get over the performance problems, I think it's worth it. The only thing the Colonies edition really adds for single-player is making the achievements work properly because it's linked with GFWL (and can multi-play with the 360 version). I think it's a fun enough and great looking pure action game for the price, just don't expect anything more than that. If you actually want to try multi-player, go find a Colonies edition, they don't cost much either.

I got it free with my computer, and I would not recommend it. The PC controls are bad, and it has absolutely horrible perfomances issues. I can run TF2 well with everything on high, 2x AA, 1280x800, and I'd get 15fps with everything on low when I tried to play Lost Planet. From my experience with the 360 demo, it'd be pretty good on consoles, but the PC port was royally screwed up.
Re: Lost planet anyone? - Wedge - 02-28-2009
The PC controls are not bad, even if the explanation is. It lets you use normal third person aiming, while the stupid 360 version does not, and controls like a Wii-based FPS.
But yeah, I ran it on 2x4870's , so that probably made it run well on high no matter what (as it actually does support dual GPU's properly of all things). Also don't know how much better it runs in DX10 mode vs DX9.

Performance problems are godawful. I'm glad I played the demo first. FFS, Crysis runs better.

Wat? I'm pretty sure I was able to adjust the sensitivity fine, though it might've been called something stupid.
