How to: Increasde FOV remove mouth smoothing. Edit encrypted ini files.

[Cr4zyB4st4rd]

I don't own Bulletstorm, and going by most PC gamer opinions, im glad I don't.

But for those who have bought it, this article might be of some use

but with a little time and effort you can do undo most of the damage inflicted on the PC version of the game.

I really love mouth smoothing, it gives me that extra bit of pucker needed to woo the ladies.

What's saddest to me is that they encrypted these ini files but didn't put any options in to tweak these settings so people wouldn't have to decrypt things to tweak FOV, etc.

Like seriously PCF? You didn't watch the amount of grief Gearbox got for lackluster option settings in Borderlands?

I swear this industry does not communicate amongst itself at all.

WHY the hell they would put enemy properties in INI files? Do those work like bots?

Anyway I don't get the advantage by changing FOV. It looks all stretched and ugly with a value of 120. But I would want to play this with a mouse & keyboard, X360 joypad doesn't do it for this game.

Well, that's just going from one extreme to the other; 120 is generally considered a huge FOV.
Try 90 - 100

You gotta be kidding... This is just unbelievable.

I'm honest here, I'm surprised we still have people on BUF who can openly admit sometimes, things goes just unacceptable. Especially long time supporters.

Anyway, if anyone is curious, I tried the PC version, it doesn't add up anything else but a direct port of the actual game on consoles. Everything is encrypted in the game, mostly using GFWL.

Buy the game on consoles, unless you just can't aim with anything else but a mouse and keyboard.

That's Epic for you. It's clearly: PC = Exigent, less monies. So why bother, right?
If you want a Developer that still support their PC fanbase with extra's these days, give Crytek, Valve and Blizzard a go.

This applies to me. Seriously, I can't possibly see myself performing boatloads of skillshots using just the thumbsticks. I don't know how people can be so accurate with those damn things.

My purchase decision might go from "wait for demo" to "wait for patch". Not sure yet. Which is unfortunate as this is something I'd probably enjoy, but if I have to jump through sizable hoops because the developer was lazy as hell then I'm sorry but no twinky/$$$ for them.

From Mark Rein LINK:

"Bulletstorm is PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and you'll see when it comes out, it will be a full-blown, oh-my-god amazing PC game.

 

[Kantham]

lol @ anyone who takes Mark "triple-A studio jerk" Rein, seriously anymore.

He's a salesman, he'll try and convince anyone that what he touches and see is the best thing ever.

You gotta be kidding... This is just unbelievable.

I told people Epic doesn't know how to do proper PC games anymore, way back before. But the saddest thing is that there will still be so call "PC gamers" defending them and their actions, just read the comments on Ars.

Oh and btw, People Can Fly is not incorruptible.

 

[Sir_Brizz]

Well, this is probably PCFs fault, really. Just sad that it could get like this, this is an Epic branded game, for pete's sake...

 

[DarkEmperor]

So PCF decided to encrypt the files (because they were always not PC friendly :sarcasm: ) and Epic said OK, why not, go on. I really doubt that considering how Epic treats their PC fans in the last years.

your first mistake was assuming Epic was even paying attention to the PC release.

Second of all, I'm not sure you read what you typed.

 

[Wail of Suicide]

85 degree FOV? Seriously. Do game developers not have peripheral vision or something?

Not really. PC is cheaper per SKU because you don't have to hand over a large percentage to the console owner. Also, you don't need to buy expensive development consoles.
