Blacksite: Area 51

Well I recently got this game because I'm a Sci Fi fanatic but I have to say the game is a let down. Sure its decent looking and the story is great but it seems like the developers took A LOT of shortcuts. I don't know if a newer patch can fix it but you cant even turn on AA, so shadows are jagged blobs. Anyway for those of you interested in buying the game I would say don't. Its not worth it unless you get it through a different means <.<

Hope this saved someone some cash

Those games weren't very appealing to begin with.

If I see it on the clearance endcaps at Target in coming months, for less than $15 as I usually find many games like that, I'll grab it & stick it on the shelf & maybe someday play it LOL. Just Grabbed GRAW II for $14 or so tonight, now sitting next to Battlestations Midway & Dawn Of War Gold Edition & Dawn Of War Crusade, FEAR (all purchased for under $8 each) and a few others I haven't even installed LOL.

as to the AA issue in this game, did you try forcing AA in the nVidia Drivers? see if that worked?

I could have but I didn't try it. I shouldn't have to

Deleted the game already anyway.

Crash Buddy Process error for Blacksite Area 51 PC game

Hey, I recently bought this game for my brother, while we can install the game on one computer, when we go to play it, it tells us that it can't Create Crash Buddy Process - can't diagnose crash...? Does anyone in laymans terms tell me what the heck this means and how to fix it? Besides the obvious of using the game as a coaster! Thanks Robyn Please email me if you know of any fixes wb@nrtco.net. thanks
