I don't think it's that big of a deal. Games For Windows Live isn't popular or used enough for achievements to really be all that relevant for PCs. At least, it doesn't feel that relevant when I get them while playing on the PC.
Solid demo. Didn't get me as insanely pumped and excited as the original F.E.A.R. demo did, but that was a time when F.E.A.R. was a technical beast, especially its particle effects.Â
Cool things: Anyway, it's worth the download. Firefights felt like a tighter, more polished version of the original. AI still seems smart. They kick over tables and open car doors for cover now. I was a little creeped at some parts, but most of the scares were BOO LOL and none of them really got to me. Graphics look good. Imagine F.E.A.R. (I like typing it out like that. I think I am a masochist.) with way better textures, softer lighting and shadows and great implementation of motion blur. AND AWESOME MECH BOOT-UP INTERFACE. Seriously, get the demo just to see the whole thing go WHIRRR and BEEP, with the vox lady voice going all, "SUP, YOU TURN ME ON."Â
Tee hee.
Square things:Â It's so obvious that Monolith used consoles as their base. There is no 16:10 support and YOU GOT AMMO or YOU GOT A GUN pop-ups are blotted smack dab on the center of your screen with Oblivion-sized font. Then again, I found those to be pretty trivial things, but I suppose some people won't be too pleased.
I chose to upload the most boring-looking images out of the many I took, because the cooler stuff is worth seeing in person. And because the other images I took were much more boring-looking.

I'm still having trouble with keeping the length down. Maybe on my next one. Maybe. I used my World Tour mic this time around and my voice sounds a lot more cleaner and... a little sexier.
So, I got a new PC yesterday. My friend came over and put all the pieces together. It's a dramatic upgrade from my previous setup, but it always ran anything I wanted it to play well (with visual compromises, of course), so I salute it. There's some swearing, so watch out. I'm not always this loud and obnoxious. At least, I don't think I'm always that loud and obnoxious. Hastily edited and put together, the footage is very raw.
