Yes, healing is "4" - in the beginning pretty worthless, but in the last 3/4 of the game, you will begin to love it. Funny though, around 1 hour before I've finished the game, I've found out that I can equip my companions with items. I'll guess if I would have known that before, some boss fights would have been a tad easier... Btw. I've also found the controls on pc to be pretty good. After I got used to it, I had no problems nonewhatsoever with them anymore. Sure, I would have liked to change some keys, like inventory to "i" or such, but beside this, I found it pretty usable and smooth. Even the camera controls did only annoyed me in hard boss fights, where I had to look around more or less fast.

Just finished Dungeon Siege 3. Was nice and entertaining and I like the length of it too (dunno why everyone yells that it's too short). The ending was good and yay! for ending slides (which have been great too). Now going slowly back to Fallout 2, while waiting for OWB.

Then I could as well just plug in a controller into my pc and be done with it. Easier and faster than fiddleing around with pc and tv 'n stuff first.

Well, I mostly don't. Because of the above stated points.

No. Trust me, 4 players is only annoying. Hell, even 3 is already a pain. Despite of having a really good tv, after approx 30 minutes of console gaming on the couch, I can't sit anymore and my eyes are burning. /Edit: Also playing while laying on back: Just not possible for me. I can't stand that for more than 5 minutes at max.

Well, Bethesda PR, just like war, it never changes. Like I've said last week, I begin to doubt that OWB will come out this month. With Honest Hearts, it was released around 7 days after the trailer was posted. So it's still possible that we will see some OWB stuff at the beginning of next week.

That prison thingy with antlions was one of the cool things in HL

Wait, there will be more DLC?

I tried some mp a few hours ago as well and yeah, with 4 players, it's a mess. I wouldn't mind a limited walk radius, if at least every player could have his own camera / view without group limitation.

The most important:

After playing the sp for a few hours now, I can understand that the mp feels meh if the camera works the same way and is used for two players. The actual possible walk-range seems to be very limited in this case.

Why? It has flaws, but they don't make it a bad game. Besides, a lot other good games have flaws as well.

A little bit, yes. At least a bit as if everyone should agree with you that it sucks. By the way, about stupid ai in DX: The game doesn't even have a *real* stealth system. If they would be a lot smarter, you couldn't really sneak through the locations. Therefore, I don't mind their simple ai.

But they are killable in hardcore mode.

Finally, the game is here. Now installing, then playing. :>

Bah, I just hope the postman will bring me the game in the next 30 minutes.

In DX3, if you don't kill anyone / don't get seen at all, you actually get the most xp.

God damn, I am home now but the postman wasn't here yet.

Well, despite the graphics, it was a really good game when it has been released. Also DX didn't got "shortcuts" and such, but "alternative paths" - they often are at the same lenght than the "normal" path, but they are different. Like it was written above already, you could play it as a generic shooter, you could sneak past all enemies, hell, you don't need to fire a gun in most cases. Additionally all that text, newspapers, notes and so on. Also if I remember correct, DX was one of the first games with fully voiced dialogues and it was quite a lot dialogue (especially for a shooter). I love SystemShock 2 as well, but for me it's totally not like DX1.

By the way, it's Fora, not Forums.

No. Totally no. Stopped reading there, ****ty review is ****ty.

That is a matter of opinion. I think Mass Effect had quite a lot issues as well. Still it was sold for a lot money.

I just realized that today will be a super long day for me. Not much to do at work tomorrow and then additionally waiting for DS3. Damn.

I thought Jane Kassynder sounds really cool. Are you brave enough to say her name 3 times while looking into a mirror at midnight? :>

Got a mail from Amazon, telling me the package is on it's way. So it should be here tomorrow, which means I can come home from work and - hopefully - activate and start playing. :>
