Review of Alpha.
Been on my wishlist ever since I saw it, since it did look a lot like gta2, which was my prime streaming game for a long time, so gave it a shot as soon as I could (didnt play demo though).
Will start with positives:
-
Really does feel inspired by old gta’s a lot: radio (humor and songs), gang-respect system, tank-controls in car, saves at home, burping, gouranga and other small things - pretty cool!
-
Upgrade system which carries itself into re-playthroughs
-
Multiple endings, non-linearity in area progression

Update: There was a large patch on September 30th, Quality of Life update that should have fixed most of the serious technical issues. I haven’t replayed the game yet.
The game punked me immediately upon starting it by skyrocketing my fps to 482 in the main menu, effectively stun locking my GPU at 100% and 75°C in seconds. And my PC isn’t exactly a potato that needs frying, running an RTX2070, i7-7700K and 32GB of RAM, with an SSD to boot. Without capping the fps, it climbs to about 90 in-game on High settings, making the game stuttery and giving me a hot GPU turbine background noise. After capping the fps to 60 in the Nvidia panel, the game behaves like it should, mostly. There’s still some stuttering and weird lagging, but it becomes playable, for a bit at least. Unless you need to reduce your post-processing to medium, which completely changes the in-game lighting making everything pitch black. Checking the Known Issues topic in the discussions unveils more than a few bugs and glitches, from the mentioned post-processing problem to declining performance and heavily sparkling textures. I’ve had one complete freeze, where even alt+F4 wasn’t reacting and declining performance kept calling me to have a beer with her.

Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition
Great game, maybe even the best GTA. One of my personal favorites for sure. Which is why I’m sad to say I’m currently uninstalling this game. Not because it’s bad, but instead because Rockstar Games/Take Two are horrible corporations. I have bought this game 3 times and of those 3 versions it is seemingly apparent the only 1 I actually own is my physical Xbox 360 copy. Being forced to use the Rockstar Launcher is already a violation of our rights, then they have the balls to pull down this REQUIRED Launcher at ANY moment in time. Do yourself a favor and find another way to own this game. The further you rid yourself of the plague that is Rockstar Games and their launcher the better off you’ll be. Otherwise, 10/10 game(w/ mods to fix Rockstar’s mess of course).

Grand Theft Auto IV & Episodes From Liberty City is 10/10 in story and fun missions & side activities to do. and please if you don’t own this game yet I highly recommend you to get it on a sale or something before R* release the Gta IV remaster in 2023 because they’ll remove this game in the future and we all know that the OG games are always better than a remastered game that’s made by a company who’s making mobile ports. so please buy this it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Torqued Up Legends
A small indie studio takes a first glance into racing games with the support of car aficionados. Torqued up is an interesting take on a cross between arcade and sim racing, trying to find a balance that is both fun and interesting. The cars/environments are well put together and promising, and the interaction between lifted offroad vehicles utilizing shortcuts, and high performance street vehicles is a nice change of pace. The bidding vs other racers, while needing a bit of polish, really ups the stakes for the races. Multiplayer games are hard to find, and is best served with your friends/discord server for now.

this game is a blast to play, alot of great features and fun cosmetics,
nice to see upcoming features, cars/trucks on the horizon
fun to play with controller or keyboard
graphics arent to bad and the racing mechanics are great,
only thing i would say could be added would be more realistic damage over time features, even if its just cosmetic.
and having a multiplayer server which cant be full filled with bots could be fun too (unsure if it is implemented yet or not as havent been able to find enough for multiplayer. )

Dumbass Drivers!
A bad option to spend your money on!
This game is trash.
Not the good kind of trash, but just a waste of time!
Here are some of the reasons why:
-
Maps are badly done, yet playable with much patience!
-
Design sucks. I mean the graphics are worse than many free games from the beginning of the 21st century, it is just bad, cheap landscaping and very low budget production overall.
-
THE GUY to the right of the screen makes me freak out. I mean WHY? Why do you add something like him? xD
You can get the achievements relatively easy, if you feel the need to get them … ( 25h)
