PC Digital Download Games: FEAR 3 $4, L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition $6

Quote from ohiwastedmylif : Even on a good rig?

Meh, I play it on my laptop which is decent enough to play sleeping dogs, hitman absolution, medal of honor warfighter if that gives you any idea. I usually play on medium to high settings in all of them. With lanoire, I had to lower a lot of settings to lowest. Even then it's a little slow. Could be the game locking at 30 fps for the "cinematic feel".

The game isn't unplayably slow. If the game was centered around action I probably couldn't bear it. But since most of the game is questioning witnesses and finding clues, I can deal with the occassional chase scenes.

Note that I kept the facial animation setting on quality because I didn't wanna compromise on that. This game really has the best facial animation in any game to date.

I'm only about an hour into la noire, but I havn't noticed any issues playing with my 7950

Can these be activated on steam? And anyone know if Fear 3 is good? Been looking for a decent horror game.

Yes it activates on stem

Quote from ohiwastedmylif : Even on a good rig?

LA Noire caps the FPS at 30. Even a 650 could max it out.

There may be a way to uncap the framerate via editing an ini file.

Fear 3 is awful. Its an action shooter game that does nothing particularly well, little to no horror elements that made the first one great (tbh the first one wasn't that scary either). It was an underwhelming experience.

at $4 i'll take the chance on a OK game. Loved the first one, second was OK. repped

can i buy and download it from TWO different pcs?

Can't comment on the PC version and framerate issues, but the PS3 version of LA Noire is definitely great and worth $6. If you have a powerful PC, I'd say go for it.

Quote from OmnificOne : Yeah, it does. Pretty seriously, at least on a 2 gig 7870. Drops to 17-19 FPS at points. Might have varying degrees of luck with different cards, I don't know. Still really enjoyed it. Definitely worth the $6.

Strange, played well with my 6870 card.
So I am guessing driver burp.

I just bought Noire based on your comment, and it did not activate on steam, it reports an invalid key...

Quote from TylerJ_COE : Bought FEAR 3. Hopefully my A-8 3850 + 6870 Hybrid can run it smoothly. I played FEAR long ago, but didn't play FEAR 2. Does anyone recommend playing FEAR 2 before FEAR 3?

FEAR and it's two expansion packs, Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate were amazing games. FEAR 2 kept the feel of the first game and was still quite a bit of fun to play.

In my opinion FEAR 3 is worth about the $4 sale price. It was not up to the standards of the first games at least not as a FEAR title. I played all of the titles back to back a few months ago. You should play the games in order if you liked the storyline of the first game.

It's weird, I bought it as well and it is activated on Steam. Here is screenshot.

Thanks, I will do that. Repped.

Quote from barndogusn : I believe I see your problem, ATI/AMD. Great cards, terrible drivers.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's probably been a while since you've had an AMD card. I switched over to a 7970 and have been nothing but impressed, especially with the drivers they released last summer.
