So you've never shared something with a friend?
Or borrowed a game for an extended period of time and beat the hell out of it?
This is personally the first time I've "jointly" bought someone with someone, but people go in together and games all the time and share it. For instance, a friend and his buddy both payed half for Half Life 2.
And to any pirate comments: to be honest, I probably would have pirated the game, but I got a letter from my ISP like literally a week before this came out about copyright infringement. I download a lot but I still buy more than my fair share of stuff. Oblivion was kind of the exception to the rule, because this is a game I would have legitimately paid full price for, but I was extremely strapped for cash because I'm in college and get paid $5.15 (I'm not kidding) an hour.
I realize that doesn't excuse piracy, etc, but... whatever. Giving my cousin $15 for a game is better than straight-up downloading off the internet.
Obviously, I could defend myself, but then I can realistically assume the people I am talking to are probably just being hypocritical. Have they never had someone copy a CD or game for them before? I would really doubt they had never done it.
So you guys turned distant viewing off, then? That's one thing I adore about this game, Reasonably enough, it is going to be an absolute system hog, though. So you just set the view distance down (thus eliminating the "view forever" feature)? I don't know if I could do that! It looks too pretty.
I'm playing with most settings on high and AA on 2x. I get some pretty bad stuttering when I'm outside, though. I'd say my frame rate is only like 15-20 when I'm outside or around really huge buildings in a town.
I am having just a
ing blast with this, though.
