terryclothI need keenspace back up, damnit.
Anyway, I've been playing AC2 in the mornings before work. I finally ran into a couple of actual other players, after maybe five hours cumulative, but had to log off before doing anything with them.
AC2 doesn't run very well on my machine. The normal framerate is fine, but the mip-mapping and adaptive polygon thingies are adjusted down so far that it's REALLY REALLY OBVIOUS when they shift. Plus the mouse cursor flickers and leaves scudge, making it hard to select things, and there are other random problems like corpses floating in midair or being unselectable.
This morning I killed the 'Keeper' of this vault. I'm guessing his unselectable corpse had a key or something on him, because I couldn't get through the portal he seemed to be guarding. Then before I'd even regen'd health, another keeper spawned and killed me.
[sigh] If the game would run properly (and it probably does, for people with non-crap video cards -- Sony said 'SCREW YOU HAHA LAMER' when I asked for updated drivers, in pretty much so many words) it would be a lot of fun, I think. The skills and leveling is interesting, there are mini-quests everywhere, etc...
As it is I'm not sure if it's worth playing at all, though.
