Yeah I have just reinstalled yet another old game, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. Playing Ghost Recon really reminded me of how much GRAW is alike to it, and what kind of improvements were made after Ghost Recon itself.
Now, as you all may recall, I have just reformatted my PC again, due to some wonky behaviour after the first format on Wed, 6th Feb. Thing is, when I reformat, usually nothing’s lost, ie I know where all my data files are, so when I wipe out my C drive, nothing else gets touched (incidentally, C drive should contain nothing except Windows and system files). Yeah I always move MY DOCUMENTS and other important stuff over to D or E or F etc.
The trouble is, I forgot that GRAW saves its savefiles into its own directory. During the format I was thinking I won’t be playing GRAW or GRAW2 again since I’ve completed them. So, I casually just wiped both the directories out (my games are on E drive). So anyway, long story short, when I reinstalled GRAW again today, I suddenly realised I lost all my savefiles.
Well no matter, since I was planning to replay it all over again, the loss of savefiles isn’t too big a deal. I did a quick video capture of the prologue mission too.
The video clip above is a short clip during the part where I’m supposed to locate and hook up with the members of my Ghost Team which were scattered during the parachute jump. It served as a training mission to slowly ease you into the game proper. Now that I’m replaying GRAW from scratch, perhaps I can now do a GRAW series on this blog, where I will record the whole mission and show it here, mission by mission. Well I’m sure it’s going to take massive harddisk space since raw captures have filesizes that are excessively huge. A simple 5 min capture might be as big as 4GB.
Or I could capture at half resolution, that should cut the size down somewhat, I hope!
Anyway, as I said before, I prefer GRAW over GRAW2 because the AI actually is smarter. Well, now that I have GRAW and Ghost Recon installed, I really am spoilt (and split). Sometimes I really can’t decide which to play! 🙂
