Picked this up yesterday. After finally getting past the horror that is Steam, I got to play. Feels more like an expansion pack to Half Life 2 than a different game, everything is so similar! I’ve found A LOT of bugs though, nothing major just small annoying stuff. Game seems to stutter a bit too, even after setting every setting to the lowest possible.

Only just got the shotgun though, and ever since that thing’s have picked up. That pistol is hopeless!

I don’t know about you but all I notice is how shitty and 2d the hair looks… looks like something out of Doom origonal or something.

PCI Latency for sound cards were at 64 (setting it to 32 in the BIOS does the same thing as the PCI Latency program). I also set the video card latency from 248 to 64. That seems to have fixed the stuttering issue somewhat, although it still occasionally takes place, just not as bad.

@Andy: I wasn’t very excited about it either. But there hasn’t been much coming out recently and I figured this would be a safe bet.

@Matt: What was your PCI latency set to prior to adjusting it and what did you change it to?

I didn’t realize there were hidden areas until I checked out the stats after playing last night. That’s a pretty intuitive stats system they’ve included.

I’ve been enjoying this game once I got the stuttering issue fixed. I envision lots of fanpages of Jessica Cannon. She’s so hawt.

As for gameplay, the game feels polished, the dynamic AI difficulty is the real deal, not a gimmick, and some of the gags and hidden areas are hilarious. Lots of neat little touches here and there added up to a steal at $20.

Loading from Steam as we speak. Like I needed another game to waste away time this weekend…

Boobies you say?

That maybe enough to get me to try and overcome the god awful motion sickness HL2 gives me.

I knew you would be back on your PC at some point, it was only a matter of time…..

To be honest, i havn’t been that excited about Sin, but maybe i will pick it up to fill the void until HL2 Episode One.
