wombat50 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) I finally have a computer that plays Arma 3 at a decent framerate. My 2009 computer would get down to 9 or so FPS sometimes. Trying out the free version of DaVinci Resolve video editor and used it for this vid.https://youtu.be/k4B1gYDWjXM Edited December 2, 2017 by wombat50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 2009 PC? I think you got your money's worth Have to say, ArmA might be a good war sim, but having experienced Wildlands, it really is showing its age now in the graphics department.

wombat50 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 I have not bought a game in awhile. Wildlands is a good candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightspeed Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Nice Wombat. I wouldn't spend your money on Wildlands, it is so boring. I just can't get excited about it no matter how hard I try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a few mods and some GR style missions and you're good to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, you can extract your foot from your mouth once you've caught up on Wombat's posts - since he got Wildlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Will he enjoy it for as long as original GR or Arma? I highly doubt it - it's not a bad game it's just extremely repetitive and in that respect, ends up becoming very boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've sunk in a heap of hours, not bored yet - still got lots to do and explore! I remember before Wildlands was released I said that the story has grabbed me more than any other game, and it is true - the story is one aspect of why I'm still playing the campaign. Which is strange because for me anyway, shooters have been about shooting and the story MEH, not with Wildlands though. It's been very clever the way all the missions are threaded together even though there is total freedom about which order you tackle them. Love this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARMA 3 is very mod friendly so cant wait to see you work.... or just play for a while. 1. Biggest difference is vehicle transport 2. The AI is much less impressive than GR. 3. Glitches are kinda common but less common that the alpha or ARMA 2 maybe. 4. Sounds are ok... strongly recommend a mod like JSRS or Enhanced Soundscape. Enjoy bro. Let me know if you want to come out to one of our missions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Yeh love the mod-friendliness of Arma nowadays, Steam has made it so easy! I respect your opinion Rocky of course. And probably just me, while A3 is a little more clunky it just feels more immersive and real to me and with the variation of missions, it doesn't feel rinse repeat. But I do like to jump in GRWL from time to time, it just can't hold my attention. Actually that just may be a general finding with most games nowadays so I think maybe the addiction to gaming finally wore off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wildlands suffers from what most Ubisoft games suffer from, and that's a lack of an incentive to replay it. I know it's a little bit of a pipe dream considering how weak console CPUs are but what if the next Ghost Recon had a dynamic campaign mode where mission victories or failures result in different consequences? Say you helped generic third world rebels capture a village and you're immediately tasked with blowing up the motor pool at a nearby enemy FOB in order to stifle any attempt at a counter-attack and yet you failed miserably at it.

Funnily enough I feel the complete opposite. ArmA 3's AI impressed me more than OGR's. Edited February 17, 2018 by nyleken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
