Mission 7 now in the addon. And I start to remember old days... Now I've got the prison camp in front of me and no clue how to get in. I'll guess this will need further investigation.

I would so much love it to get a "your order has been shipped"-message from my shop.

I just used the music radio in Fallout 3, because I couldn't stand the ambient music. Hopefully in New Vegas it will be reverse.

I am in mission 6 now. The 5th was a bit easier than the 4th, because I wasn't surrounded by a ****load of moving soldiers. Damn, I can't remember a single bit from when I played the game first many years ago. But the game still feels pretty good to me. If it would come out nowdays, I'll guess I would pay full price for it. It didn't aged a lot. :>

Well, these are normal story "gates". Beside this, the world is 100% open and you can go wherever you want to. You can't really compare that to ArcaniA. In fact, you can even sneak into Khorinis without using the gate at all. So again, it's not like in ArcaniA, where you have to trigger some event in order to pass a gate.

Mission 5 of the Commandos addon now. Damn, Mission 4 was hard. Needed approx 3 to 4 hours for it... my longest mission so far.

Yeh, the release date totally sucks. I hope that my UK shop will send out the game before this date, so that it will at least not need *that* long to arrive here.

This reads pretty nice. Makes me want to do such a trip as well. But most likely I would die on the first day, because of something silly...

I wanted to play ToEE for the very first time some days ago and noticed, that it looks super complex (in combat). All this commands stuff from which I totally have no clue plus I couldn't even figure out how to loot the enemies. It looked to me like looting sometimes works and sometimes it does not. Very confusing in this moment.

I've had to install this microsoft thingy in order to watch the hd version, so I could make some more or less good screens. This sux.

Face the NPC. Stand ****ing still. Press ctrl+forward. PROFIT. Two buttons to talk to people? OH LORDLY LORD. Well, in Gothic 1 you do this while interacting with *everything* in the game world. Sooner or later you will get used to it. Gothic 2 made it a bit better tho'. I personally never played G1 or G2 with mouse and keyboard- always only with keyboard, because that's how I knew it from G1. Everything else felt wrong to me. I was one of the few who wanted the original controls even in Gothic 3, but only because the mouse controls in Gothic 2 felt ****ty to me and yeah, if this would become the default way... However, the keyboard + mouse controls in Risen are pretty good, imo. Don't want it to get changed anymore now.

It should be K

You would hear about this pretty early in the game anyway. :>

Me too. But I try to keep in my head that it's still Fallout 3 in it's core with what we are dealing here. So I don't expect a 180

I haven't anticipated a game that much since years. It's strange, I feel like a child ~1 week before christmas. How annoying... and everything bores me now. Finished Interstate '76 today again, playing through Commandos, was playing Ghost Recon again, SWAT 4 in Coop, etc. etc. just to waste some time, because I got nothing else to do in the moment anyway.

Going for guns, speech and science, most likely. SPECIAL stats I don't know yet. Most likely ST not more than 5 and INT around 7.

Yeh, because G4TV HD videos suck. Always when I use fullscreen mode, everything is fit into my 4:3 screen without black borders, so everything is stretched ugly. And doing screens from the not-fullscreen mode isn't looking that good, sadly. /Edit: But here is a screenshot of Neil anyway. :> I really like it.

Check the strange placed weapon on Lily's back. /Edit: Beside this, super mutants now finally look cool.

I have it still on my HDD, but I am not touching it anyway. It just bores the **** out of me, especially because I always end somewhere in the desert part of the map, blasting random stuff in the air, with a rocket launcher.

Playing now Commandos again. Finished the first three missions yesterday. Was pretty easy. Now that the 4th mission has started... it looks pretty complicated already.

Sucks to destroy your dream, but Spellbound isn't the only german game developer.

This "Alpha Protocol fiasco" was - for me personally - no fiasco at all. Well okay, one could say the fiasco was stupid people who write stupid reviews... Liked the game, still liking it. I can live with the flaws and I am happy that I've spend my money in this game than some other crappy ****. :>

I really don't like it, if previews / reviews aren't allowed to appear until the game is released. It gives me the impression that something needs to be hidden.

So, I've bought I'76 Arsenal yesterday, because I never got my hands on this Nitro Pack stuff. Now I wonder... I don't have any ingame music in the Nitro pack. Is this normal in the GOG version or is there something else that I have to change? Because it sucks to have no music.

Back in the days, I've put my I'76 game cd into the music machine and just listened to the music. Groovy.
