    On Mouse Acceleration: For games that don't have an option to disable mouse acceleration, you can disable it from windows, and by extention the game too.
    To do so:
    1) Select Mouse from control panel.
    2) Select the Pointer Options tab
    3) Deselect the Enhance Pointer Precision checkbox
    4) Select the OK or Apply button on the bottom of the window.
    For those that don't know, mouse acceleration speeds up mouse scroll speed the faster you move the mouse.

    Activision truly is the modern LJN as far as licensed games are concerned; the vast majority of the licensed games they publish are generally mediocre at best. Even EA had published some decent games based off of the James Bond and Lord of the Rings licenses (Agent Under Fire and the two Battle for Middle-Earth games come to mind).

    I love the walking dead but im sorry, this game was absolutely terrible, there was a moment when I was out of ammo and surrounded by walkers, I thought I was fucked but then it went into the minigame where the walker grabs on to you and you have to stab it for every individual walker, I literally cleared out 15 walkers just by individually stabbing each of them, and they all just lined up like they were waiting their turn, I suggest just sticking to the tell tale walking dead game instead of getting this game, it was a huge disappointment

    I wish he would stop talking about regenerative health as if it is factually bad and not just a preference of his.

    • @szabocsaba8628
      @szabocsaba8628 11 років тому +71

      The regenerative health is only one aspect of the dumbing down of video games, which is indeed factually bad.

    • @BeefIngot
      @BeefIngot 11 років тому +28

      Szabo Csaba No.
      1. The dumbing down of video games is not objectively bad. This is from your personal perspective. Developers do have something to gain from making games more accessible.
      2. Regenerative health is not objectively a dumbing down. It offers a different method for health management and can offer more fluid gameplay when compared to games without it with similar difficulty levels.
      3. With regenerative health, it can be argued that regenerative health can offer a more immersive action orientated experience by eliminating the need to look for oddly placed medic kits or other misplaced paraphernalia.
      3.5. Certain types of games (like many fast paced shooters) work best with regenerative health.

    • @szabocsaba8628
      @szabocsaba8628 11 років тому +16

      Cory The term dumbing down according to wikipedia "Describes the deliberate diminishment of the intellectual level of the content of video games, in our case. The term dumbing down originated [...], to mean: "revise so as to appeal to those of little education or intelligence." I don't think its my personal opinion that this is bad.
      How are you supposed to manage a resource which you have an infinite amount of? in this case, health.
      Plenty of role-playing games can be found for those who seek immersion. If a more action orientated experience is what we are looking for, might as well go back to Quake.
      Yes they do, sadly the fast paced shooting is often ruined by having to stop every few seconds to regenerate.

    • @BeefIngot
      @BeefIngot 11 років тому +1

      Szabo Csaba
      How are you supposed to manage a resource which you have an infinite amount of? in this case, health.
      You manage the timing and efficiency of your regenerating.

    • @szabocsaba8628
      @szabocsaba8628 11 років тому +5

      Cory That of course is true in an ideal world, however, I've never seen any footage where that has been done in practice in a fast paced FPS. Smart health management used to be necessary, now it is just an option. That means more people at least tried to manage their health and it was useful to do so. Now, the health system is just there as another feature to the game instead of the crucial element is should be.
      I guess the regenerative health could be considered just as crucial by some people =.
      Arguing about this doesn't seem to go anywhere though, since the health system is based on personal preference rather than facts.

    mouse acceleration was implemented because of the old ball mouses, to make big movements while not moving the mouse too much. the quicker you move the mouse the more it accelerates.. slow movements are precise, while fast gets you along way around.

    I played this game on the X-Box 360 and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a fantastically immersive game and it had a fair amount of choice built into it. To be fair, it wasn't perfect, yet it was a very nice game that I spent hours playing. I would recommend it for console gameplay, yet I am unable to recommend it on PC, as I have not played that version.

    Mouse acceleration is actually not the same as mouse smoothing. It makes the cursor/crosshair move a larger distance when you move the mouse faster. it's a way to be precise while still being able to turn around quickly when needed. I've only seen some snipers use it. they play with a really low sensitivity to be precise. but with mouse acceleration they can still turn around when they have to(without lifting the mous 5 times)

    There should be a mod that makes the sound more prevalent (increase radius of noise), make the melee combat playable, optimize it better, remove mouse acceleration, add HD textures and put in some things like breaking windows to get supplies inside but attract walkers. I can already think of a name! "Make Survival Instincts Playable"

    Also, mouse acceleration does NOT "compensate and create smooth mouse movement". Mouse acceleration moves the pointer significantly faster in proportion when you're moving the mouse fast. The idea is to make it not neccessary to lift up the mouse and reposition it when you move the pointer a long distance. The thing that tries to create smooth mouse movement is actually called "Mouse Smothing". Who would have thought?

    Seriously, seeing the mods for some games, they could most likely perfect that for this game.

    @NomoregoodnamesD8 11 років тому

    The Last of Us does not focus on food, drink, etc. as an object for survival, however. Ration cards in the game are the currency, ammo is more of a survival thing. It's more of a stealth/action cover-based, zombie-based shooter (jeez, what a mouthful)

  • @Zepha21
    @Zepha21 12 років тому

    The reson for the intense FPS loss might be, that they didn't bother implementing LOD.
    LOD = Level of Detail
    It means that objects that are far away get replaced with similar objects that have less polygon detail and texture resolution to reduce their rendering cost.
    If they don't do that the computer has to render every roach in full detail even if it's 1 mile away.
    Making correct LOD models takes time and effort since you sometimes (or mostly) have to make a model and its textures 4 times.

    I think the whole Titan (2) thing means his second monitor (display #2) is hooked up to his Titan, not that he has 2 titans.
    The way I see it, though, if you want Titan performance, get 2 GTX660ti cards in SLI. If you want better than titan, get the gigabyte overclocked 660ti's. Same performance, $400 cheaper.
    Xfire HD7950s will do the job too if you're from the AMD camp.

    You know why TellTale's TWD game has gameplay?
    Because there are choices. The game is based around tough decisions: leave someone behind, shoot or use melee weapon, etc.
    Gameplay does not always come from the game mechanics, but from the way they are used. TellTale's TWD was a fun game, and I did stick around through the entire season and I still think it's a game, not some kind of movie.
    I felt like I was in control of what happens to the story even if it had no actual impact.

They don't just overheat when you're driving on the freeway, even if it's warm. Also, when it does overheat, you don't really need new coolant afaik, just let it cool down. FIX YER GAME ACTIVISION!

    Mouse acceleration is NOT smoothing the movement - that's mouse smoothing. Acceleration is basically increasing the mouse speed according to how far you move your house, the speed increasing the more you move. It's horribly inaccurate - on Apple computers, it's on by default for example. In Windows, you can choose the acceleration.

    It reminds me a lot of Jesse's "The Oregon Trail (Zombie Edition)". They definitely took ideas from that game!

    Gratz, TB. You did what I could not do - play this game for more than five minutes. You can see the potential of this game was thrown out the window due to Activision's deadline demand.

    At the start of the game I saved all the ammo I could and after a few missions I had so much ammo I had to drop most of my stuff.

    Well this game was supposed to be made for a controller console, and this game was made really fast, so I think its good for the time the put in to it.
