Well Columbo, I'm afraid you've fucked it up again.
Uh, yes? You really suck at words.

Now please, for the love of God, talk about the game you fucking moron.

Classic moron pile up. If you two idots keep smashing into one another, maybe you'll cause a spark and fire off a functioning neuron.

And all this would have been avoided if I would have said I was taking a day off to get spinner wheels for the H3 instead.

What a derailment.

Back on track though, the game does look good.

Right. When multiple people point out that you're enthusiastically proving you're a dipshit, it's a moron pileup.

Wal-Mart in the morning for me. No preorders there, but they do 24-hour holds and I convinced them to hold a copy even though they shouldn't have. It probably wasn't necessary for such a small town, but you never know.

Heres my review...

The game owns...

The graphics are passable...

The shadows make me want to destroy my 1080p set...

Like a fish to bait...

BTW, anybody that doesn't agree with me on the shadows either a) is blind or b) hasn't played it on a 1080p set.

Go play the game, drive under a few bridges, and then tell me the shadows are fine.

Well, no, not exactly. Shadow map filtering is a different beast. Of course you can change softness and filtering, each gives a better/worse result which had better/worse results on frame rate, but I dont think frame rate was the problem here tbh. Mass Effect did the same mistake, thats why shadows look like ass in that game. All they really had to do was apply a wmall soften filter to the noise sample and it would blur out, looking much nicer, and it doesn't cost much at all, even a 2x blur would of worked, and thats hardly an impact on fillrate or memory.

Seeing as our engine is using per pixel shadow maps, think what you like.

Of course you can keep on acting like cunts just because i said the shadow are an eye sore, or you can just, you know, play it and think "meh, he has a point, but it hasnt changed the outcome of the game for him or me, so who cares".

Actually, you all do, because i made a single comment about them, which everybody here, as standard, jumped on me for. Never mind I said the GAME was awesome, oh no, lets skip over that. Lets attack him for that one bit which is a common thing a lot of people think.
