Once you get this game to run how it should, it is a great experience with real free roam gaming and plenty of diversity
Though it is still rough on the edges, BP is a very great attempt to inovating the linear method First Person Shooter games. Deep Shadows took a risk with bringing a hybrid FPS/RPG game, and where very ambitious to do so as a young company, but I am very grateful they did. Wih Boiling Point you can really live your shooter game and spent a very, VERY long time going about your business in the world of realia.
Boiling Point should be a really terrific game, seeing it's ambitious aspects, open ended world and RPG type of adventuring and equipment management. The graphics are not bad, the missions are cool and very diverse, the world is huge, free roam as it claims, and really gets you hooked up pretty bad when you become part of it, but the bugs in this game where rather annoying
I had re-installed this game a dozen of times, apploying the patches and tweaking the settings, and still it had the annoying ability to crash and lock up my computer at seemingly random points. I have a high end PC for games like this, and can easily play more demanding games at high settings without problem. Maybe it's a problem with Radeon video cards, I don't know, but I was dissapointed I could not seem to run this game more than 5 minutes. However when it runs, it is a great experience, that gets you hooked very quickly, which is probably why it disapoints so much when it crashes.
I was really looking forward to this game, and when I first installed I was excited to start playing one of the most immersive games on the market at that day, but they really broke my heart when I only got bug crashes, and fatal error.
If you are lucky, which most people seem to be, this game won't run as bad on your PC as it did on mine, but it seems there is no guarantee for that either.
I hope they will not make the same mistake with White Gold, and bring a superb FPS/RPG hybrid that will rock my world.
