The Alice sequel is great. I like it (much) better than the first game so far. Art direction, voice-over and music are beyond excellent, level design about the same. I miss some of the funky weapons from the first game, but they made up for it with enemies that take some strategy to defeat, while in the first game it was just either slashing everything to death, or throwing jacks at everything. Only complaint is that I can't run it with PhysX enabled, since it turns my framerate into the low 20s for some reason.

I picked up Alice: Madness Returns and Hunted: the Demon's Forge today.

In Morrowind, a male character could actually "befriend" a Khajiit in Pelagiad (there was even an entire questline). Similarly, a female character could swipe a Dunmer highwayman off his feet who otherwise would take all your money.

Why should Bethesda bother, when scalie/furry romance mods are the first mods that are going to be released.

What hate? Mainstream reviews seem to revolve around 7/10.

"Todays standards" aren't worth much to begin with.

Best finish is using [black Widow] on Benny and killing him in his sleep. The dialogue beforehand is also pretty funny.

Funny (and perhaps applicable?) how is one of the related videos.

I know there's a bug with Motor-Runner's helmet. I've had it in my inventory for ages, unable to remove it because it's a quest item (same thing goes for Rebreather mask, but at least that item is useful).

So why do you like Duke Nukem Forever, again?

"Beertainment", eh? R00fles!

Pity I can't enjoy this supposed best combat ever, due to the worst controls & camera ever. Obsidian, I love you, but please fix this.

A combat system as in Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: Sands of Time series would've fitted the Witcher 2 (especially Warrior Within). That game featured proper counterattacks, and enemies even dared to attack the main hero en masse rather than taking turns. Of course, it would require CD Projekt to stop pretending completely that the Witcher is an RPG.

I am all for this. But that's mostly what goes on even in this subforum? But, our dumb trolls are better than their dumb trolls!

Getting back again with Liara after sleeping with Jacob. The fight with that other Spectre chick was neat, although the plot-forced-stupidity of initially trusting her was annoying. I didn't like that fight with the Spectre. She was supposedy badly wounded and had lost so much blood... yet still turned out as Supergirl. She was also the worst Vanguard in the galaxy. If she had bothered to charge into Shepard's face like any self-respecting Vanguard, she would have won the fight immediately, especially with her double layer of armour and barrier.

It wasn't difficult to keep a high combo in Arkham Asylum even with enemies around carrying knifes and stun batons, since you could dodge forever without losing your multiplier. What made it really easy was enemies just attacking one by one. The real fun in Arkham Asylum was screwing over a group of armed goons without them even noticing you.

Alice is gonna rock. Especially since I have the game pre-ordered. YEEAAAAHHH. PSM gave it a poor review too. I set mine to download from Origin earlier. So it's too late for me to back out. I just hope that my opinion will be higher than theirs. Not sure what people were expecting, really. The first game wasn't exactly OMGWTFBBQ!!!11!! by any means. It stood out not by its gameplay and level design, which were both mediocre at best, but by the art direction, sardonic humour and unique take on Wonderland. If Madness Returns can deliver the same, it will be worth my money.

Sugardaddy Bean.

I've unexpectedly been having a lot of fun with FO:NV lately, so now I'm waiting for Old World Blues. Considering the hacking debacle at Bethesda though, who knows when it will come out.

Serious Sam made Duke Nukem obsolete long ago.

DS2 and its expansion took you across the entire continent of Aranna. Ehb is west of Aranna.
