one viewer had asked for uh crisis level loading times on the 8 SSD array so I'm
actually firing up crisis right now I just installed it just installed the
patch so this is a first boot for the game on this machine so I'm running the
MSI Cyclone GTX 460 1 gig I've got a 4
GHz core i7 875k so that's an overclocked processor and then I've got
4 gigs of uh Kingston blue series hyperx
RAM with tightened up timings and then obviously I have the eight ocz Onyx
series ssds running off in LSI RAID
controller so oh shoot I think crisis is
one of those games that takes like 300 years to launch the first time so um
well that'll be my evidence that this is indeed the first time I'm launching it o
runs great On Core 2 Duo I bet it does
but it runs even greater on better stuff here's a Core 2
Duo right there check it out yo okay anyway
so let's go ahead and go into options configure the game a little bit cuz you
know what's the point of playing crisis if you're not going to play it right so
we turn up the details uh click apply oh I better not
have to reboot the game or anything for any of this okay yeah I want to keep
this resolution Advanced H whatever gamer settings is fine no I don't want
to change anything okay single player new game Delta start game okay so let's
see how long it takes this is a cut screen we don't care about
this oh you got to be kid you got to be kidding me I can't skip the cut SC cut
scene
unbelievable If someone knows what button to press leave it in the comments
there's psycho oh hi
there now he's probably invisible or
something no he's very visible now he
has a mask though I don't know how the mask got on his face okay now he's
running really
fast here's what I can't figure out how do they run fast and jump high cuz uh I
I've tried to do it several times like you know how you do the the middle click
and then you scroll to whatever maximum
ability you want to do like I've I've actually tried like maximum speed and
running and then switching to maximum strength in jumping but it doesn't
actually work or maybe I can't get the timing down but I really wish I could do
is just end the cut scene and then we could actually show the level loading
time okay he stomped some guy see he did
his magical thing where he can run really fast and jump really far and then
use maximum strength again see when are we going to actually
get a game that comes with like uh like
realistic gameplay footage like I it'd be kind of fun to play this game if you
were just actually like a tank like the
way he is where he's just riding on top of a truck and he's getting pummeled but
you can't actually take that much
abuse one of my co-workers is giving me a hard time about how I can't do that
and apparently I should enable suit short cuts but I don't really care
because the game was pretty easy I I didn't end up needing to do
it I only played through the first one though I haven't actually played through
Warhead so
um yeah I have no idea maybe Warhead is more difficult see my ssds aren't work
very working very hard right now because there's not a whole lot of loading to do
in fact my video card isn't working very hard right now either because this is
running at like 640x 480 or whatever
resolution cut scenes have been uh been
displayed at for the last 20 years yay it's finally over Chopper went
down I've never been that happy to see a chopper go
down okay level loading there we go it's finally doing it the loading is in
progress so this is that that raid array that I can see about H 700 megabytes per
second sequential reads on uh this is substantially faster than what I've seen
in the past although I'm not sure how impressive it is but there you have it
crisis level loading time on an 8 SSD
array uh like I said in the video about the array I wasn't all that happy with
the performance of it overall I would have like to use some higher end ssds
but I don't have enough of them handy to really make that a
reality so that was it thank you for checking out my video on how long it
takes to launch crisis for the first time it's like too long and then how
long it takes to load the first level can you shoot this guy what
happens oh you can't shoot him that's too bad okay don't forget to subscribe
