FALLEN EARTH  is a large dissapointment at least to veteran players

 I stopped reading after this first line. Anyone who claims to know such things wouldn't post anything worth my time.

I'll be proactive here and briefly answer what I know will be said;

"Embry isn't laggy for me.  I dont have lag anywhere" says you.  "Thats great", I say, "but embry is laggy for me."

"Then it must be your pc thats the problem".  I reply, "Yes, it might be my pc, how observant of you."

Those would be my civil replies.

No need for anyone to say those predictable comments.

 

Seems to me someone doesn't know the difference between lag and low framerates!

You sir, have low framerates.

Network lag has never been an issue for me ingame and I have played sine closed beta began.

WTF does it matter if its lag or low fps?  The problem is still there w/e the f*** it is.  Call it happy purple roasted frog the f****** problem still exists and nothing changes.

My frames per second are slow so my frames per second are LAGGING! 

Technically what I said is correct but I know being a pompous self righteous f***tard you can't help correcting other people.

This is like a poor version of WOW with graphics from 1990.

eye candy whore states the obvious

yes it does look like wow and yes you're an eye candy whore

try a new arguement, EVERYONE knows it looks like wow

I wonder if icarus whined so mmorpg decided to buckle under the pressure.

The new review will have a higher score.

Oh and the review should include a comment on the laggy engine.

performance is better but STILL laggy in busy areas such as embry

I can increase fps by disabling shadows but why would shadow stress the engine so much?  Lotro uses dx10 shadows and I have no lag issues in lotro.

embry is lagtastic!

You realize that out of your quad cores, most of the work is assigned one core?

And AGAIN...I have 2 cards in sli mode, each with 1gig ram on them.   9800gt cards.  I'm also on 8mbps cable.  I DO have a Core 2 duo.  it's oc'd and very capable of handling that game.  Please stop with the personal attacks on my hardware.  I never asked about yours....but thank you for YOUR info. 

I just listed the odd things I found in the game.  Not a personal attack on you.  I tried min graphic setting to make sure that wasn't the issue.  Please try to be grown up about things.

 

Thanks.

Some people wait for fun to happen for them and some make their own fun with what is given to them.  You're the latter, not the former.  Those that whine, bitch and moan are the former group.

 

Yes, blame the consumer for not making the game fun. Makes sense.

Feel that breeze?  Thats the meaning of my post flying right over your head.  Its ok, happens to all of us sometimes.

I love the game until I enter embry.  Then I realize how bad the lag can be and I hate the game.

Hi,

I really loved the Fallout series and love the theme that Fallen Earth sets out to work with. However, I've never played Fallen Earth, and I have to say that one of the major reasons is because the graphics look worse than any 49$ USD MMO title I've ever seen in the last few years.

I think I can deal with lesser graphics to some extent, but I mean.. come on. The landscape looks like a 2 color texture that stretches for infinity, dotted with straight trees, cars with checker board texture boxes.. it's really ugly.

Further to that, they completely throw you out of game immersion by making corpses immediately pop up with a swarm of flies flying about it in some 2D animated way that reminds me of Duke Nukem 3D graphics, or if not flies.. a huge glowing skull spinning round and round above a newly fallen corpse.

I mean.. wtf? This is retarded, plain and simple. Can someone explain to me how they've managed to look past these silly things, and what the game has to offer beyond its nightmarishly-bad gameplay videos? And if you've played before and can say that the gameplay videos do indeed reflect the seemingly poor quality of this game, please help me out by confirming that this game is just a pile of post-apocalyptic manure.

 

eye candy whore

I'd be playing AC now if it were vista friendly.

I believe your first line explains the reason why alot of people whine and bitch over lack of content in CO and tons of other mmorpgs.  These people log on every minute they can, usually have no life, may have a job but log on whenever they have free time and burn through content at a record pace.  So they bitch over content and its no wonder. 

A mmorpg isn't intended to be a second job or second life or replace the one you have.  Play them all casually.  Your entertainment value will go alot farther.

please explain how the UI is very customizable. All I ever saw inway of customization was the ability to change the "highlights" colors(ice was my favorite).

 

Most if not all things you see on your screen UI related can be moved anywhere around the screen and resized in a manner you use with windows.

As to the OP's question, I think it was in the Ten Ton Hammer interview, but I may be wrong, but no, there will not be the WoW-like support for add-ons.

 

the ability to move things isnt really ui customization just ui relocation. One of the things that bothered me about the ui was the very small "target window" and the gray chat background.

Ahh, well, guess I differ in opinion as moving things around to where I want is customization to me.

lol, yeah relocation IS customization

The UI is very customizable, what the OP is asking for are mods that adjust or negate game play elements. And i hope they never add the support for them.

I agree.   I'm annoyed to no end when people whine for add on support because they want to circumvent game play mechanics.

omg!  how can they expect me to search for rare nodes?  I dont have time for this!  I need an add on that tells me exactly where they are because I'm too lazy and selfish to play the game as the dev team intended.

Its been my experience 99% of the time a game will give you whatever you need to play it, no real need for add ons.

The character creation system is great and lots to fun. Creating your character is more enjoyable than actually playing the character.

Your character looks good when you create it but once you start playing the graphics change to a comic style with black outlines. This art-style is awful. When you zoom out your character looks like it's blurry. It was so horrible I actually canceled my subscription.

Guess I'll have to play Warhammer while I wait for Aion to be released.

Seriously. Horrible gfx...

 

eye candy whores quit a game over graphics

I just registered for the official forums and apparently this insane dowload time is affecting alot of people.  Well maybe I'll be able to play tomorrow after downloading all night and day again.

no download manager

The patcher continues from a previous stop or cancellation so no fear of having to redownload everything

how fast? not sure

10 gigs shouldn't take me this long to download

I'm guessing 1 gig takes me roughly 30 - 40 minutes and thats a wild guess due to never timing the process. 

I bought FE last night and opted for the download.  I expected to wait a few hours.  Why the hell am I still downloading after one day?  What the hell am I downloading?  I left the patcher running all night.  It froze so when I woke I restarted it.  I get home from work (after 7 pm) and its still downloading!  Holy f'n sh*t!  Damn, I have 3 meg DSL, its not the best but I never expected to wait forever and a day for the f'n patcher to stop.  Currently its at 47% with 9 hours left after running fine all day.  WTF!
