I approve heartily, but never gonna happen. Oni was long my favourite game, I even used to be a modder for it.

It also contains THE defining Indy moment. The movie's superior to Last Crusade in every way. No supernatural bullcrap, just good old-fashioned arse-kicking.

I don't like that one can only cast spells by equipping a magic staff. I also don't have the patience to collect X cards to become a badass mage... in the first game, by the time I had found enough cards for my magic to become effective, I was already an invincible fighter. It seems the game wants to be played like Risen, doing quests that take you all over the island. There certainly isn't much incentive for freeform exploration, considering there isn't much off the roads save for animals to kill. I entered some dungeons and got hammered by higher level enemies.

The map shows all Daedric & Dwemer ruins, all Dunmer fortresses, all Velothi towers & a few bandit caves. That's a pretty big help, since an awful lot of sidequests send you to these locations.

I'm about two hours in in Two Worlds 2. Melee combat is better than the dodge/clickfest of the first game, and is almost identical to Gothic 3 now. Enemies will actually bother to block now so that occasionally you have to use the block breaker skill. Sneak kills are pretty fun. Enemy AI outdoors leaves a lot to be desired. If you shoot an enemy with an arrow, they will give chase for 5 seconds and then forget about you completely, letting you shoot them again and repeat til they are dead. I've dropped rhinoceroses this way, feels pretty cheap. This doesn't work indoors, though. I also got my horse, but it's even more useless than in the first game. It can gallop for about 10 seconds and is then reduced to walking slower than the main character on foot. Lame. For the rest... the UI is horrible, worse than vanilla Oblivion, lockpicking minigame is actually fun, voice-acting is pretty good. The game engine is also impressive, since my nearly 3-year old computer manages to max it out. The HDR/bloom is eye-blinding, though, and must be tweaked. Storywise, the game immediately throws everything the main character accomplished in the first game through the window, but that's okay.

I'll wait for a gameplay video before I'll allow the hype to get to me. If this QTE crap is anything like Ninja Blade, I'll give the game a pass completely, no matter the amount of b00bies.

Lucky then, that Two Worlds 2 is Polish.

So this is basically Bayonetta with a guy?

Already done: Best space opera of all time

Pics or it didn't happen. (and then tell me where you ordered it from because my retailer isn't doing so good) http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...p;#entry1081641 Got it from Gamemania.

Maybe it's a prequel about the exploits of Captain Anderson/Admiral Hackett in their younger years?

Aside from the badly chosen WHAM!-haircut, I'm experiencing an annoying sampling problem with my characters hair that I can't seem to get rid off by tweaking graphics options. I need a helmet badly.

I think I only ever met albino scorpions five times or so.

Most likely they'll be bisexual instead. BioWare isn't as progressive in that regard as Obsidian.

Screenies remind me of Lost Planet, tbh.

I got the game on 13 November.

Modern Warfare 3: First Contact War.

^That's why I am greatly supportive of the breadcrumb trail in DS3.

One shouldn't wonder why players go on killing sprees in Bethbryo games when looking at random NPC faces. At least FO3 & NV have the improvement over Morrowind/Oblivion that it's possible to literally kill them with fire.

For $130, I'd expect a wax statue of Triss.

Not to mention, compare the Asari dancers on Omega with the monstrosities in Gomorrah.

That brain surgery part was pure brilliance. Plus the exploding mansion & the espionage sidequest. Mothership Zeta is worth it as well, just for the Death Star-like explosion at the end that seems to take forever.

Tired of playing labyrinth? Toggle the console, type "tcl" and problem solved. That's how I managed to get through Vault 11 & Vault 34 without losing my sanity.
