Painkiller, Your Thoughts

[rbV5]

It seems like the few demos I've tried play very well at decent settings. Painkiller, from what little I've had a chance to play, has very good graphics and performs well at the same time. I thought it was pretty fun.

The gaurdian boss makes my smooth performance come crashing down, I don't think i've ever seen such a complex boss. Very cool though.

Cool graphics dont make a cool game.

 

[SneakyStuff]

haha i dunno, if they released the game around Halloween, it would be a SUPA SMASH HIT! But springtime?! AHHHH!!!

The graphics are gorgeous, but the story seems a bit weak. We'll see when the full version comes out.

That is one thing that's missing, the story..... You just kinda START

You miss the big "DEMO, WORK IN PROGRESS" watermark? 😉

Watch the trailer, at least.

Not like there's a lot of other options.

Mediocre.

Did everybody just barely learn the word "Mediocre" or what? Why is everyone all of a sudden using it? Damn newbies!

Nice one, but compared to Far Cry it's sooo weak..

 

[niggles]

uhm.... shouldn't you post this on a gaming site? I mean I'd understand if you were discussing how it reacted with your vid card, but you're just talking about the game... Anyway, just my opinion.

Graphics and physics are neat, also how smooth it plays. Besides that...I don't care for it.

 

[nippyjun]

The colors to me look a bit washed out. Any setting suggestions to help this?

great graphics, poor replay value. one word to sum up: BORING!

i agree, but i didnt find the graphics that stellar...maybe some dx9 effects my 4200 cant produce?

anyway, the demo sucked, i played it about 10 minutes and was so bored i went and spent time with my wife...

 

[SneakyStuff]

haha, at least you've got your priorities in order. "No sorry honey, don't wait up.... i'm playing painkiller"

You can mod it and change the zombies with cute fluffy kittens and rabbits 😀

Like everyone else, I think the graphics are top notch. The game itself blows BIG time. It's a glorified redux of Serious Sam, tons of baddies swarming that are easily killed. Very weak.

Got it, installed it played it.
or tried to.

started out the first level, at 1280 with everything set to high (no aa/af) my 4200 was pushing 110fps...so i start walking around a bit, seems fine

but then the game locks up for 5 secs, then releases
then again 10 seconds later

every few seconds, the game will lock up for a few seconds. wierd.
running the 4200 on 56.72s
temps/voltages are fine...

if i could play it i think i'd like it...

I liked the demo, but I didn't think it was anything that I haven't already tried or currently have. The graphics were OK and the physics engine was great, but that's just not enough to get my dollar these days. There's a real glut in the FPS genre these days and shooters really needs to be inventive to stand out. Unfortunately, I just don't see anything appreciably special about this game.

I didn't think they were easily killed (Serious Sam). 🙂

 

[zodder]

When does this game ship, btw?

 

[Brian48]

It's already out in retail stores.
