I want a chance to fail at the end of a bioware game. Not win and die but fail and live to see it.

VATS is for when you're clumsy enough to get swarmed or when your computer just stutters and you can't aim properly. And combat in FT had plenty weaknesses, bad almost nonexistent enemy AI, the duck crouch, unbalanced weaponry,... If they had enough time to balance it it might have been as good as or even better than Ja2 combat.

Level 10 enchantments use Malachite gems. You know +100 damage and such

But but but this wasn't DX11, everything looks much much better in DX11. And i wonder if i'll ever get used to all that fancy sword spinning for no reason or practical purpose.

I like Sub Zero a bit more. Always have.

I hope you're using "Q" to change into and out of dragon form. And put the red dragon crystal in on of the quick slots, you can use it to get back to the tower from everywhere.

Yes, that fight. I missed the trader in the camp though, so i could have a full Scorpion set. xDD

A typo there. It's supposed to be Gow3 not 2. But we should stop getting offtopic anyway.

There's 3 women playable characters in GoW2. I would have been happy with Anya only since she's been there since the beginning.

Allan is not worth it, neither is Radcliffe. And looks like you missed the best fight on the island. You would've loved it or least loved to comment on it.

I just had to have this balaclava. Even if it's my first playthrough. ( the gun and the armor are just a bonus as is the crosshair )

Because you're a low level NPC. Not enough XP to avoid the traps.

Instability and crashes, general starforce madness. That's why i never finished the damn game :/

Too subtle to claim that this is "not much to do with piracy really". Once it's on the net it doesn't really matter how it got there*. The game has been pirated many times over by now. *Although a copy that has no protection is certainly worse than a copy that has yet to be cracked. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, for example, was available to download long before it was ever cracked. That splinter cell had the most evil DRM of all, just like Prince TT.

sure. they probably have a deal with Nvidia as Crysis was never about gameplay but about selling graphic cards. And there will be plenty of suckers who'll buy new high end cards just to be able to say the can play it at high settings.

Bah, happened to Half Life 2 and STALKER too. So it wont hurt them at all.

yeah, definitely best RPG combat ever. o.ob

Calax That bothers me too, so i try no to think about it too much. 50 years more and it would be more believable to me.

You have an ACTIVE PAUSE in this game. And a CROSSHAIR to aim and if you want to pick up things get them in your reticle.

edit: to make this thread a bit morea appealing Rockstar Games is pleased to announce a partnership with Team Bondi Pty Ltd to publish the ground-breaking next generation crime thriller L.A. Noire. Developed by Team Bondi, a new Australian based studio founded by Brendan McNamara, of The Getaway, L.A Noire is an interactive detective story set in the classic noir period of the late 1940's. L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Set in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz, L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming. From "10 things you didn't know about LA Noire": -You play as a good guy for once -Rockstar has overseen the action scenes -LA is rockstar's biggest environment yet -It's got new facial animation tech -The vehicles come from Jay Leno's garage -The conversation system is similar to Mass Effect's -It's based on real crimes http://www.rockstargames.com/lanoire/videos/ Gameplay video. Was posted in Random thread but if we do have a thread about the game... I'm more interested after seeing this video, feels like they've improved on what bothered me in the previous trailers. If the following trailers impress me as much i might even change my mind and buy it day 1.

Dragon Age II is More Tactical Than Baldur's Gate II ...

No you can't actively block, that's a minus, so played i Dual wield and two-handed instead. And i only used Unique Weapons. There's plenty of them around and are quite powerful., especially when you can add +50-100 magic damage or 50-100 melee damage or both at once. So when you can try out disenchant every weapon you won't use. And remember there is NO FALLING DAMAGE in DKS, so you can jump from as high as you wish as long as there is ground to land on.

The skellies can still rape you when you wonder to the ruined tower, especially if you think running from the work and you manage to run the wrong way xDD

Did they change the skill so that you can't mindread everyone without point investment? If so I retract my statement. Otherwise you can do all that without retarding your combat skill progression. It's only a matter of cost vs. benefit and I don't believe the potential gain of a smaller XP debt justify putting a single skill point into mindreading. My combat skill progression wasn't affected by skill points i put into mindreading.
