The new features such as terroforming Mars (which has always been one of my fav scifi concepts), role-playing elements and the auto-pause options in combat sure sound appealing though. Sounds almost like a mix between JA and Baldur's Gate.

Well the whole idea is to "rip off" Xcom as it is a spiritual sequel. Jeez, you're almost as bad as hades.

UFO: Afterlight is the latest in a series of spiritual sequels to XCOM made by the Eastern-European developer Altar. The predecessors have been a bit buggy, yet quality games. Here's the plot in short: In pre-release interviews and hype, the developers said that the game would feature: * A new setting based on a Mars colony that was built shortly before the events of the previous game, UFO: Aftershock * Distinctive weapons, as opposed to several weapons having the same statistics but just a different look * Role-playing elements in a more crucial role through "strong distinctive individual characters". * Simplified micro-management of resources * A more complex technology tree * Improved user interface based on customer feedback The Eurogamer review is pretty positive, and I def will get this game as soon as I can. Some screenshots:

Ok so i'm going to buy a 19 or 20'' LCD tomorrow, and my budget is ~200

My pc is a year old and the game is almost glass smooth with all the default visual settings at 1024*768. A realief aftre the huge lagginess of Oblviion. No AA on though. I haven't even tried increasing any of the settings since I think it looks fine, although the jaggies are there when you lean. There is a very occasional hitch here and there when something appears to be loading, but its incredibly brief. my pc basic stats: 2gigs ram, Pentium 4 3.6, 3950 GTX You've got 4 times more ram than i do, and your graphics card is better (i think, i've got a radeon 9800 pro) I really really hope the game will run on med to low settings, after all HL2 and Farcry both run silky smooht on medium.

I read from another forum that the game is pretty much unplayable without at least a gig of ram. Anyone tried it with less?

I'm getting this today when i get off work. Looks like the game i've been waiting for all these years.

So are there any PWs worth playing yet? Preferably set in a DnD world, be it Greyhawk or Faer

I've wanted a Sword & Space game since i was a kid (Burrough's Mars series would be a really fun setting). Other than that, a setting inspired by paintings by Beksinski would be awesome. Think Kings The Black Tower meets Cthulhu meets Moor****. That would be my dream setting. edti: obviously Moorc0ck is a dirty word. Poor Michael

BG1 + 2 + ToB, no reloads. Working my way slowly through BG1 at the moment. NWN2, now with multiselection! It feels a bit clunky, which i'm sure will get fixed in the actual patch. Also EU3, FM07 and a bunch of free arcade games. I need to replay Cave Story soon.

You'd better wait for the actual patch, the beta is full of bugs.

jesus what a bunch of scary looking nerds. especially howlin and wyndall.

Nasum - I Hate People "Helvete" (2003)

They're illegal in various big cities in the states.

After some research i found that my motherboard supports uses DDR400 memory, which is pretty cheap. Now i have to decide wether to buy a 512 stick or a 1gb stick. I've got two 256 sticks at the moment, and only one slot free. What do you suggest? Will i see any difference in performance if i buy the 1gb stick?

Whats the difference between DDR and DDR2 ram? Where can i see what frequency i'm using, or does it matter at all? I'm planning on buying more ram, but i'm uncertain what i should buy.

Can't laugh at something that isnt funny. I'm laughing at you, though.

Wyrd Visions - Bog Lord "Half-Eaten Guitar" (2006)

They just updated it, seems like it's possible to actually play now.

Console warriors, attack!

GemRB "GemRB isn't a mod in the normal sense. GemRB is an open source reimplementation of the Infinity Engine

well you did totally steal the joke and claimed it your own. you should have at least said that you stole the whole thing from someone else.

no, i did. you said if it was a black drug user, and i merely pointed out that a drug user probably would have a criminal history, black or white. most pedophiles aren't very heavy drug users, either, nor are serial killers. agreed they should go away. however, you were attempting to pose a racial bias statement that doesn't hold up very well, which is what prompted my reply. taks compare the numbers of black vs. white people in american prisons. i think its pretty obvious that race has a huge difference.

No, not in a million years.
