Started playing some Assassins Creed 3. Got around 2 hours done and I think I am still in the intro... have to say, I find the game really boring. So far everything is only cutscene, walk to x, cutscene, walk to x, cutscene,... ehw.

I still like it a lot and I just replayed it a few weeks ago.

I would try the game. I am just not sure if it could keep me motivated over a longer time.

Since a while already. I am in the beta since founders packs were available and I have to say, I get more and more angry with every patch. They delay everything all the time (which wouldn't be so much a problem) and when the next patch is released, they nearly fixed nothing from the old bugs. Since 2 months already the game performance gets worse and worse and they still didn't fix the memory bug that a lot people are experiencing. I don't want to restart my client after every 3rd game, especially when playing in a real group, etc. It just annoys the hell and fun out of me.

I didn't liked most of Nehrim's quests. They were poorly done or stupid / the pacing was bad. The game world was good looking, though. But just the graphics didn't really saved the game for me. As a mod, it is quite good, though.

I remember how I was hiding behind walls in Hitman 2, shooting everything that walks around. :>

Just finished Hotline Miami. Nice game.

Hotline Miami. Pretty cool game.

It's fine to hold on to old things, but you cant shut your eyes and say "NEW IS BAD" and make death threats at Behesda Devs, which they did. What are you talking about? NMA never posted death threats at Bethesda devs. What you probably mean are random people posting on the internet, but this happens all over the place and not only at NMA. Besides, NMA always killed such posts and sometimes even issued warnings. Also the fuzz was never about "NEW IS BAD" but "Bethesda takes an orange and makes it a banana." Unjustified NMA hate from your side. Better inform yourself before posting silly stuff. Incorrect, not only have they threatened them a few times, one even said something about raping a dev's wife. Again. What you mean are random people on the internet. This can happen everywhere and is not a NMA-only thing. "NMA" is not one character and it is not a hive-mind. Plus, I challenge you now to show true examples.

One should have been able to lead the evil Supermutants into Little Lamplight, to bring them what they deserve for living right next to evil Supermutants.

Yea, just watched the new trailer. Looks pretty cool.

Heh, indeed. If he wouldn't have added the "more than one town"-thing, it might be believable. But with this... no way.

That's creative. The only thing I remember doing in Sims1 was the drowning thing. heh. Heh, I did the same to create ghosts. It also worked with letting them go into a room and then selling the door. It took way longer for them to starve to death, though.

Reading Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetery right now. I am nearly done with it and it's pretty good so far. My first book from Umberto Eco and I might look at some of the older ones as well.

Sounds very unlikely to me. The whole text about it. Wish to be proven wrong too, though. The news article seems to be pretty bad anyway. The Fallout Online-part is wrong too, as example. It was always clear that Zenimax was working on an Elders Scrolls MMO and not Fallout Online. Also highly unlikely that the new studio will work on a Fallout Online. Just can't imagine them working on and releasing two MMOs at the same time.

Is it good? Trailer looks rather preachy.

No idea if that's sarcasm or something, but I really like it to have gained access- especially because I was tossing around mod ideas (quest / story) already since last month. Now I'll see how much I can get working from that and if it is good at all. I even re-read the first two of the books (the best ones, imo). Only in german, though. I'll probably need to read them again in english to get a better feeling for the writing style.

Avellone did all DLCs except HH. I also like DMs writing, but the DLC itself not so much, because of the maze-like map layout. Though, unlike many other people, I really liked the radio-stuff. You had to listen to your surroundings and try to find the radios or you go booom. With a little care in walking around, they never were a real problem to me.

Fancypants, I got access to the Witcher 2 REDkit beta. :D One from 100 of over 600 applications.

But the DLCs are more like mini-addons and totally worth the money, imo. Really can't be compared to rip-off DLCs a la horse armor.

This bird figurine looks interesting.

If you want to start them, a popup shows up and tells you the suggested level. Doesn't mean you have to do it with that one then, though. I personally like to do Honest Hearts with at least lvl 14 / 15, because then the White Legs are running around with Brush Guns and Anti-Materiel Rifles. Feels cool. :> Playing Old World Blues with level 30 right now and it is hard, but not *that* hard. I am doing fine right now.

I don't think think the location was *that* big when the courier arrived. Ulysses just saw it being build up and therefore had a different view on it. At least that's what I think... no idea. What I find worse is that everyone is telling you that you can just go away and if you don't, it is your fault what happens, because you had the choice. But that means, your choice is pretty much to play Lonesome Road or don't, which I find to be not a choice at all. If you want to play, you are railroaded into it. Not really optimal for a game that talks so much about choice, imo.

If you finish the main game story, the game ends and you have to reload an earlier savegame. So you have to finish LR before. It won't have any influence on the ending. The only thing - afaik - that matters for LR is your reputation with the main factions in the game.
