Tale

Hot I mean, what a bunch of sickos!

You have an account on a game developer's forum. I recognize you. You're a hardcore gamer.

That reminds me of another annoyance. Auto-attacks are full fledged attacks. Half the time I press a button for a special attack it does not happen because an auto-attack is occuring. VERY annoying.

I loved Hunter!

DA2 only has FF on Nightmare, period.

I play lots of games only once. Especially the poorly paced ones (lets front load all the boring stuff, YEAH) or the ones that merely aren't that good. There's no sense replaying a game if it's not worth the time to replay it.

DAO did recognize new skills, assuming you weren't using a custom set. However, and hopefully this is because they forked the demo out before they did much with tactics, the tactics setup is stupid and half ignored. Surrounded by 2 or more enemies apparently means "the second combat starts and they're across the map." And healing gets shoved to the bottom of damager tactics.

Rogue attack animations seemed jerky to me. But I consider that so trivial a complaint as to be barely worth the length of this disclaimer. The demo showed off combat and that was basically it. Which means I'm not satisfied that it showed much at all. It is kind of nice that the enemies don't wait for you to hit them with AoE at long ranges before engaging, but is the entire game going to be scripted encounters like that? Who knows. The icon system didn't help the issues with paraphrasing. Is it because it's so poorly documented? I doubt it. I was hopeful it would. But when DIAMOND "She won't be alone" turns out to be "she's with father" instead of my assumption that "we'll send the Darkspawn to join her" then I know that I have no idea what's going on.

Both Overlord games. The first one was decent, the second was crap. The first one was incredible, the second was decent, the third I'll cut you.

HACHI MACHI

Lag between people saying lines is reported to be a hardware specific issue by Mr. Laidlaw. He thinks it should be fixed on the release build.

I'm pretty, darn you!

Chris Priestly confirmed that they did share it with other sites. And the site seems to be running fine now. Not as bad as I expected.

Watch the XP turn out to be 1/20th of level 1's progress. Totally worth it.

They're not counting one million downloads. They're counting one million EA account sign-ins.

They're only just now coming up enough to tell me that they're down. Which is progress of a sorts. Should have had a demo on Steam. And any other number of file distribution sites to help spread it out.

All that talky makes replaying a chore. ugh I know your story, Thane, WHY DO I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN?! Pet peeve of mine. Even if dialogue and cutscenes are skippable, it ruins the experience of replays. Which is why I favor short and sweet or completely optional.

Then why did I click on this thread!?

Suckers

I love the Sci-Fi miniseries version. :'(

Why I oughta! *strangle*

Both Overlord games. Published by, but not developed by. I know the external producer who worked on 'em though, really good friend of mine, he moved down to Guildford to work on Bodycount... His projects were always the ones to make money. *ahem*, like Overlord.... Psh, external producer. You find me the lead designer or Terry Pratchett's daughter, then we'll talk. I was meaning more that it made money, hence, popular and percieved as a good product. And I was meaning more that you need to make some connections that can introduce me to Rhianna Pratchett.

I bought Memento on Blu-Ray for 10 or 15 dollars. Great movie.

I played more MvC3. I think I really like Morrigan on my team. I'm still not sure who I would use for the other two slots. Dante has his ups. And Sentinel is a classic favorite. Dormammu is cool, but silly hard to use.
