[germanNiklas]

weeeee :x :r

vidios looked nice

[Starik-Bob]

Hey! I'm downloading it too. :t

[germanNiklas]

96%

[Dennis Bacon]

100%

[germanNiklas]

graphics arent bad, physics are good too, really brutal
not bad but i wont get the game
didnt like serious sam, dont like this game THAT much its ok, but dont like these only monster games, pure shooting no thinking games

[Bigjakkstaffa]

The movie of this looked interesting, though if i remember rightly the graphics werent great

Might have a lookit later

--Jakk:t

[Vitalka]

Liked it a lot. I'm getting it. Much more interesting then serious sam. :t

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Indeed, its interesting, i'll give it that, in fact its not bad at all, infinitley more entertaining than Far Cry (which everyone is getting their knickers in a turmoil about atm - for no good reason IMO) or indeed most of last years FPS fodder.

Indeed, depending upon my finances at time of release (DE:IW and Ut2k4 next month with more to come) i may well consider buying this

--Jakk:t

[Vitalka]

Just finished the demo. Very nice made i must say. Some of the monsters look like it's imposible to kill them, but after some time running from the in circles i killed them, turned out that they are not that hard to kill.(i'm talking about fat big guys with axes)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Yup, gotta get em in the gut where they arent armoured, took a fair bit of circle-strafing to figure that one out

--Jakk:t

[Vitalka]

Did you kill that Boss. Man I was getting frastrated, but then i figured that out.
1. Break his hummer (chaingun would be the best for it)
2. Kill him(using rocket luncher)
3. It's all over... oh... man i want MORE!!!!!! :(

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Yeah, took me about seven minutes to do it like (didnt know what i was supposed to be shooting at).

IMO the melee whisk-esque weapon is great :D Love it, and definitley the most effective thing against those little irritating skeleton/eye things :mad:

lol, i found those skeletons kind of cute, especialy when you take em a part and use em as a soccer ball.

I also liked that third weapon feature. While you are holding shokgun you can shoot you granades, when you do that the your charcter swiches shokgun to granade luncher for a second, fires a granade, and then swiches back to shokgun. :D :t

Which website can download this demo without a hitch?

I tried www.filefront.com and www.gamershell.com but both sites have problems at downloading.

:confused:

[spyman]

Not too bad of a game, graphics are very good. I hope this is somewhat of a benchmark of the new games to come out this year, cause my pc plays it fantastic! 1600/1200 maxed out. Maybe my premature graphics card upgrade wasn't so bad a move after all.

So when does this game hit the streets?

Only you have to wait in line.

[tasty danish]

i dl'd from nvidia, 350kbps.
go to painkillers official page, and you will find a bunch of links.

as for the game, i like it a fair bit, but it seems a bit slow to be compared to quake and doom.
needs more on the big loud fast weapons end.
while the weapons were cool, im hoping that the lack of them was only due to the fact that this is a demo (most likely) although the alternate fires were quite nice.
what i want is a shotgun and chaingun with 500 round each, course im a doomhead.

the physics and effects however were fantastic. i was very very pleased with that.
i like when you fight the boss and he knocks the arches down, all the tumbling blocks look SWEET.

i just want some weapons that are more fun to use, looks promising though.

[cbh]

I will try downloading the demo again during the weekend.

[Rabbitrunner51]

Thanks for the link...(using filefront)..downloading now.....

I got so much new stuff to play now ( just got DF Black Hawk down and Splintercell this week...$47.00 all total )..plus a couple of other new demos...+

That filefront seems like an awesome site....I like it....am trying to get away some from fileplanet..which is a little more genric and has less goodies included...

Darn..I been sick for the past few days with something personal..
It just may come back tomorrow..I hope not.. as its has to do with my eyes and then I can't get on this darn computer...a shame.....
but i'll live!

[the xenon]

um someone in another thread said that Painkiller is better than Doom3 and HL2
um NOT
though it does seem like a good game, it is very dry and proly the only good thing about it are the graphics
demo is decent

[zybch]

Okay graphics, great sound, very boring and repetitive gameplay.
Why use such a good game engine to just throw hundreds of identical looking baddies in your face.
I was hoping that it would be more objective oriented instead of a Serious Sam clone with better graphics :(
I'll probably be waiting till someone else buys it and then borrowing it for a while (you know, 10 minutes per cd).

[One_Inch_MAN]

Whats the story line behind painkiller

[Rabbitrunner51]

I too have played Painkiller and found the graphics very good..but it is very repetitive in the gameplay..as you just go along and shoot all the zombies or whatever....with no real clue as to what the mission is or where you go.

The game states that this will appeal to those who like the old RPG type games..so they are at least up front about that.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad game at all....if you like this style of gameplay....and it is always a gamble as to what the whole game has to offer......a chancy buy at best!

[zybch]

Can you believe it!
I had some stupid spyware toolbar thingy turn up on my PC, the only way I could get rid of the wretched thing was to use system restore and go back a day.
System Restore didn't just get rid of the installed PainKiller demo, it also wiped the 230Mb installation file :mad:
I thought that files and documents weren't supposed to be touched!
I was looking to showing my brother how to nicely impale someone with a 6 foot stake, aka Vlad the Impailer, but now I have to download the whole thing again. :(

[Rabbitrunner51]

I am sorry to hear about that! I can sypathize as its always a bummer to lose anything ..yet alone more of everything...

I thought it was rather clever and funny about the stake gun ..as I never have seen this type of thing in other games...a real novelty for sure... I couldn't kill the flying witch either..and that was funny ..with her laugh and everything..some real humor here.

The graphics though..were top notch and when I began the game it froze alot ..probably due to a video card adjustment..playing it on 8X at 4X analaising.....

I have had to reload alot of things in the past...am getting used to it.....

[ATI RADEON 8500]

The grenade was the weapon I used the most I gather them into a crowd and toss the grenade at them... kill much faster than the other guns.

Graphic is nice but knocked my fps badly when so many guys around me but overall decent and fun game would be better if there wasnt so many simular baddies.

You die, and instead of being purified and allowed access to heaven, your trapped somewhere between heaven and hell, and you gotta figure out why.

I love it, havent killed the witch either but i'm off for a sandwich and when i come back she's going to get it.

It's releassed here in april and I think I might treat myself for Easter, and slaughter a few demons and other nasties.:D
Xlnt graphics and I don't mind killing loadsa monsters, just like Doom.
:D :t

[Codex]

I could've sworn you weren't a gamer last time I checked Ammok!

Painkiller is a great game, physics are beaut. shoot them in the foot for instance. :D.

[Ammok]

only way to be bro, only way to be.......:D :t

[cbh]

I tried the game on GeForce 4 MX440 128MB DDR and the graphics was great. I didn't experience lag or problem during gameplay.

So the game is great on low-end computers and I think it could be played on GeForce 2 graphics cards.

:)

[Ammok]

spec says minimum g2 gts......but in all honesty, my machine slowed quite a bit when battling the boss and his many henchmen. Still good though.:t

2500@3400 and 9600.

[Ammok]

anyone know where the secrets are in the town level?

[Codex]

Dunno mate but a bit of playing around i figured that you can shoot the grenades with your stake to make them more powerful and longer range, especially useful for taking down those crossbow-knights on the walls of the cathedral level.

[Ammok]

funny, but i got the knights with whirly spinny thing alternate fire. Infact i love it, acts as laser or a projectile.I killed all the skeleton on the palace level with it.

I'm def going to buy this, real good fun.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I personally thing the 'looney-egg-whisk' is the most useful weapon in the game :D

--Jakk:t

[Ammok]

LOL, it is good, a bit better than Doom's chainsaw, although that was a classic in it's day.

[Codex]

the looney's egg whisk :D, very original name there jakk.

My favourite gun is the Stake-Gun simple because of the physics, great stuff.

I'm sure it will be back when DOOM3 comes out.:D

[Codex]

which is due to arrive in 4 weeks time in blighty if play.com is correct... BS i say.

Far Cry is coming out! I think you all would rather buy this game than Painkiller.

Basically, this game (Painkiller) is just a aim-and-shoot FPS software.

Nothing new!

:(

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Far Cry, is still IMO a tech demo looking for a game

played the demo?:t

[Ammok]

FOR UK PUNTERS


i just bought painkiller for £17.99 with free delivery from www.play.com

just sharing the good news of a good cheap uk source of games and dvd's.:t :D


can't wait till April 9th now..............:x

[Bigjakkstaffa]

'll go up to £24.99 or thereabouts once it hits the shelves

--Jakk:t

[Ammok]

Yeah, but eighteen quid for a game like this is a bargain, it's doom all over again for me, but with better graphics, and this CHEAP!!!!!, can't wait.:D

Serious Sam was the same... Both 1 and 2 scored over 80% in PCZone.

I'm looking really forward to PainKiller, especially with the 9800, i played the demo on my Ti4200, it lagged a bit on medium...

[Rabbitrunner51]

A good thing that these forums are about public opinion....

Painkiller is not in my mind a very good game and it will have alot of issues I believe.....very boring to me..as its just shoot..shoot shoot..... no comparison to Serious Sam although I can see why you might think so....

Far cry is by far and large the better game...and on another level of play..than this game...

I would never buy this game.....too many good games out there to choose from.....

Far cry is the next game on my list.....

[Codex]

I cannot see how you do not think Serious Sam and Painkiller are not alike, they are near identical gameplay wise.

FarCry is a great game, but it's not in the same genre as Painkiller nor Serious Sam, FarCry is less gung-ho than either.

[Rabbitrunner51]

Codex..I am not necessarily putting it down so much as just stating a viewpoint....

If you are talking about fast paced RPG type shoot-em up style..then yes I guess you might say they are similar....

These type of games just do not hold my interest for long.....

I am glad you like it...to each their own..that is why its nice for us gamers to have so many choices in gameplay styles....

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Just goen gold today apparently

--Jakk:t

Just a FPS game to me! :)
