Hassat Hunter

Look at the amount of "usefull posts" in this thread by the people who complain when others spam/make fun " The correct answer is that they came of Nihilus ship; who was supposed to land onto Peragus just before you left with it. I expect mostly because Peragus gets blown up (and it would be hard to explain how Nihilus would have survived) this got cut in the end; but the troopers who attack remained; even if there should be no living soul on the astroid anymore except for Kreia, Atton and the Exile...

Just preparing the worst (then it can only be better than expected, no?). I have people give such promises before; and these games are LESS than avarage in quality (hence the "Daikatana 2" comment). Ofcourse they made SS2... which should give a bit more faith than those others that promise stuff like this but are total newcomers; but that doesn't say they can screw up (see DX and DX:IW)

Just mentioning the FPS I would expect Dark_Raven the FPS-hater would have the most fun with. (which I seriously don't expect HL2 or F.E.A.R to be)... but we shall hear who has right someday I suspect

QFT (otherwise I wouldn't advise it, eh! :D) On-topic; Still on BG2:SoA. Done every quest in Chapter 2 (except for those 2 eternal stuck in my journal) and on to save Imoen... (I think) Edit; PS. Painkiller has 3(!) SP-demo's. Just try them all 3. If you still got no indication then how the game is ...

"passe" might have been a bad choiche of words in that case. What I meant to say in that post (now a few pages back) is that while the BS (that sounds so bad... but it should do) dev's make something different their advertising of breaking out of a "AI-lacking, corridorrunning" loop of FPS is kind of misleading; especially considering many FPS-games no longer hold such goals highly. They actually have some changes, like F.E.A.R's AI; or HL2's whatever makes it great to the public that I still don't get... not so major as BS changes, but still; they did break out of that loop. Hopefully BS dev's are not in such a shortsighted viewpoint that SS2/DX not happened and that all the major improvements announcent will be actually medicore compared to todays gamestock and we will get "Daikatana 2"... [/worst case scenario just based on bad PR]

I would say skip them and try Painkiller. Gothical (with much more realistic, though, hard dark look than HL2) loads of blood and alot of action... makes it more similar to Vampires:Bloodlines (despite being a FPS to the bone) than Half-Life...

Actually I am talking about genres here. IMO FPS can be sectioned into 4 different types (and DX and SS2 are not in the same as PK). I like the first 2 and dislike the second two: 1. Loads of monsters and lack of AI shootfest ("old-skool"); examples of these are Serious Sam and Painkiller. 2. FPS/RPG combo's with less attention to combat and more on story. Examples are System Shock 2, Deus Ex and the subject of this thread 3. Railer-FPS. Not those you play in arcades with lightguns but those who force you onto a VERY linnear path to succes. Examples are Call of Duty and Medal of Honor. I very much dislike the lack of replayability and the linnearity in those. Even games in 1. mostly have more freedom to choose ones path. These are the worst types of FPS IMHO (atleast a lightgun-type one can be fun). 4. The "populair" FPS. Mostly including a very thin storyline and alot of combat sequences that fully use the skill of the player to complete. Most FPS fit into this boring group of clones (sorrowly) including Half-Life (2), Doom 3, Far Cry, F.E.A.R and the sort. And yes; I don't think HL is any advantagement from the games before at all. There have been other games before and after (SS2, DX, Thief) who did that alot better; but for some reason didn't get that public appease that HL get for reasons unknown to me... Edit; actually there is also a 5th type. The online variation (Q3 Arena, RtcW:Enemy Territory and UT's and others). Depends on what they add wheter or not they are fun. They all mostly go about either pure deathmatch or a teamgoal; just the way how they do it is what makes one fun and others not. I have noticed so far vehicles are usually a MAJOR gamekiller for me (UT2K4) the odd exeption; and since vehicles is the new "hot" for online FPS I really stopped following this franchise much after UT2K4...

Then please point me to a game that has similar gameplay and is as fun to play as Painkiller. I have been lacking fun like that in FPS since 2004...

I've played the game 1/2 year ago and have no idea anymore what locations Mus? aims at... let stand somebody who didn't play it should know... As for a larven mother; Not that I know off... Must be the reason why the enemies re-spawn there again and again; the stop is cut

Which is (once again) something I didn't say or even agree with AT ALL... IMO I think that is a bad thing. I find the Half-Life games suck, and MoH and CoD are simply HORRIBLE. That doesn't mean that they divert from what BioShocks creators mean from hallway fights and lack of good AI. Go play F.E.A.R and say it has bad AI. It hasn't. Doesn't make it (IMO) fun to play, but it simply does not have said things. Which is IMO a good thing. I prefer Painkiller above all the above mentioned "populair FPs"; and SS2/DX above that. But they don't really make them anymore like that. So why would the BioShock devs. have to claim all the games are like that (and I have to say PK doens't even have that much hallway kind of stuff either )

There is a bug that if you asked him to stop asking who to kill you no longer have said option...

Yes. I was quite surprised when I found 4 disks in it. I would have expected all on one dual-layered DVD or both games with X-pack on a DVD (2 DVD's)... Ah well... also odd BG+Xpack need ToSC CD to run while BG2+Xpack need SoA DVD to run Confusing the first few plays... Considering a DVD would have the content of around 7 CD's (right?) 2 DVD's would have easily fit both games + their respective expansion... As for XP-incompability glitches; so far none in BG2; BG1 had some flashing textures and some corrupt NPC skins but that was about it...

I am not saying that the games are similar; but that the mentioned games (Nolf, Half-life etc.) do put more effort into AI and leveldesign and lively enviroments (City 17 anyone?) than the BioShock creators seem to imply with their quote; and they should know that the more complex SS2 and DX (and also a bit Half-Life1) set the trend to make games less mindless FPS; even if they don't take it that far as SS2 or DX

Half-Life 2, Far Cry, No One Lives Forever etc. Hell; some games (Serious Sam, Painkiller) advertise with the fact they go back "to the old school" with loads of monsters who run and attack like that; just because there are not alot of those to be found anymore...

Why would the creators of System Shock claim such a thing? They should know things like that became more and more passe since SS (2) and DX (2)?

Had the BG box for a while now; Box has BG (1 DVD) ToSC (1 CD) BG2: SoA (1 DVD) BG2: ToB (1 CD) In order to make BG1 run you need to install patches... both BG2's should work right away (but patches are advised non the less)

This is what I gather from the Dialog.TLK. Not sure if it is entirely correct though And the one consumed by hunger? Is the one consumed by hunger Visas' master? {Scrap}The less said of that one, the better - even a stray thought may draw him, and it is possible that he cannot be defeated.He is one who has learned the greatest of the Sith teachings - and it enslaved him. Until you are ready, we must not seek him out. Who is the betrayer? {Cryptic}Even now, she is difficult to see. She must remain hidden for now until the time is right - if not, then all our efforts will be for nothing. In this, you must trust me. If she is exposed too soon, then this war will be over before it has begun. The one who bathes in pain - Sion. I would know more of him {Slowly, a little sadly}Yes... of pain, he has learned much. Of knowledge, of teaching, he knows nothing. {Low, play up drama}Like the others, he was spawned by the horrors of the Mandalorian Wars. He exists solely to spread his pain to all Jedi, everywhere.

Yeah; but that one is on CD2 of Reloaded (together with about 3 other of her/his/their songs)... and I only have CD1 Dialogue files?

Same time as you hear Rammstein in The Matrix (The CD's for the trilogy include mainly songs NOT heard in the movies) Atleast I assume so; only have those of The Matrix and Reloaded...

There is a big one about the homophile necrofilic duck (sp?)

[spoiler]Add spoilerish stuff here[/spoiler] And no; you won't receive a special saber there after the fight...

No idea what you talk about (note to self: proofread more)

I remember a story I read once about a boy who very early in his childhood (soon after being born) had his **** burned off. Some doctors convinced the parents that with proper hormones and raising the guy as a girl he would in the end act like a girl himself. So after some operations he was "turned girl" Though he didn't want to do all girly stuff like play with dolls and when puberty hit he found himself in love with other girls... and when he hit like 20 they had to revert all the stuff and "make him man" again. Morale; Education/raising means jack... it is in the nature... Edit; how the hell can p-e-n-i-s become 4 *'s

- Either Sion/Nihilus/Traya (think this one) or Nihilus/Sion/Traya. Has been a while ago - No reward. And yes; the game thinks the whole convo-option is talked about and over... -Go to the kotor2 map in the explorer. Double-click Dialog.TLK. Then "select the program from list" and in the list select notepad/wordpad (and make sure you deselect "always open this type of file with this application!!!)

Or the person you talked to had a mod that allows it; but wasn't aware of that (part of greater package or so)...
