Occasional framerate slowdown, but its good. You'll be fine michael

Brilliant, thanks for the heads up.

I'll invest when i got some money

 

[PotGuy]

I'm a real man.

I don't read manuals

 

[V_R]

Tis true for me, but i do read the controls in game, so i can then go and configure my mouse buttons.

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah I always use the Arrow keys aswell. fart arsing around with keys all over K/B is a pain in the proverbial.

Those dogs are far too many imo. I actually uninstalled it about a month ago because I got bored of it. Too much waiting around and looking for things to do I thought. I prefer a game that continues to have tasks instead of having to look for them for ages, only to be jumped on by a stupid dog and lose 2 hours of gameplay!

 

[V_R]

Just run away from the dogs they dont follow you. They have there own area they protect.

 

[PotGuy]

Its something you have to be in the moood to do.

You need to have a hour or more of free time I reckon each time you play, because it is a slow progress kind of game.

 

[TriplexDread]

Yea exactly, a little too slow. I dunno I may try again soon I do have the save backed up so not lost all hope lol

 

[PotGuy]

OH MY GOD.

I just played this game at night (in game... ) and it was absolutely breathtaking.

In a dingy broken warehouse, 2 men sit by the fire with a guitar, as another stood looking at them with his headtorch casting long, weepy shadows and the fire making the shadows dance.

Amazing.

However now it is daytime and I have just had to spend 20 mins running all the way back to the start to collect the reward for a mission. now I have to run back again.

Bad, bad, bad mission planning there.

Exactly, very frustrating!

 

[V_R]

Yeah thats what i dont like is the back and forwards to collect rewards....

I think there is a mod it jump from one place to another somewhere, but not 100% sure. But this is why i am thinking for using the endurance mod, you can carry more and thus run for longer making it a bit less annoying. You get endurance artifacts later on too.

 

[PotGuy]

Going to kick around on it for a bit more now.

I didn't save and lost a chunk of play again

Tell you what though it sounds snazzy in 5.1.

Bandits started shooting me from behind and I shat myself

 

[V_R]

Lol. dont forget save, save, save!

Just been playing for the last couple of hours, finished the X16 labs now, got an interesting cut scene....

 

[PotGuy]

Wow. How very cinematic. Looks interesting though. How far through the game are you?

I swear I don't make any progress at all because I keep bloody dying and having to play for like 20 mins to get back to where I was.

I still can't get the military documents, and I had to come out of the hole where you are meant to find the 'stash' so I could finish 2 other missions which took me like an hour to run back and forth and back and forth for

Going to play some more now. How do you get the military documents? Do you just have to blast your way through?

 

[V_R]

I am on my way to Pripyat.

What mission is it PG? ill see if i can help you.

 

[PotGuy]

Um. It's where you have to steal military documents at the next to the Agaprom Research institue.

 

[V_R]

Ah, where you have to save mole?

 

[PotGuy]

Yeah but I have saved mole. Apparently I have to steal some documents off the military and they are in a kind of fortified base. Its adjacent to the Institute.

 

[V_R]

Yeah, i know, brute force mate, the docs are on the third level in a suitcase. just gotta kill all the guys and make it out alive.

 

[PotGuy]

OK Ill try. Cheers VR

 

[V_R]

Some levels are like that, and some are quite easy, just the way it is mate.
