PC Gamer Interview

 

We're really excited about the changes we're making to the combat system. Anyone who's familiar with the old SSI [strategic Simulations, Inc] games like Panzer General will recognise the change that we've made. That's the inspiration behind the system. We really liked the mechanics in that game, so we took the basics from it and iterated on it.

 

Some of the details on that is that instead of having big stacks of units like players are used to, you're only going to be able to have one military unit on each tile. So you'll see fronts form on the battlefield more, instead of these big masses. We're also going to be introducing ranged units to the game, like archers and catapults. They'll be able to fire over multiple tiles and hit enemies away from them. We think those things will make the combat really exciting.

 

Last game I played from the series was CivII but with these changes it looks like a day one buy.

Like Kanes immortality).

Wasn't cloning very-very-very heavily implied?

I'm quite sure it was not.

Finished Siren: Blood Curse. Especially the first half was great.

How about devs start making decent games?

Yes I can already see millions of pirates crying out in joy, because devs are finally making decent games

 

People pirate games because they can.

So did anyone else try the demo?

Can't say I like the controls together with mostly fixed camera. And QTE's.

Want to climb that slope? Cool, lets press and hold one, two, three buttons. Did you accidentaly release one button? Sorry, let's do this again from beginning! Fight sequence wasn't that great either.

 

Best part of the demo is probably spoilery full game trailer. And watching it rain.

The question is... will there be A.I.s?

And Zombies too?

 

I guess I will try the demo, but man this looks even worse than Fahrenheit.

I simply won't play or buy any game that uses this sort of DRM. Its gone beyond the limit of what I find acceptable.

Same for me.

Why do you lie?

Inquisitor

Elven Legacy

 

Dissapointment of the year

Tomorrow war - bad translation, missing textures and voiceovers for flight chatter, no patch even if it was promised half a year ago.

It's ****, avoid.

 

Previous game from the same developers, Neverend, is a lot better.

Reinstalled NWN2+XP1,2. It sure looks great on max.

 

 

and Inquisitor

 

 

 

I mentioned it in another topic, it's Inquisitor.

I would avoid registry cleaners. They are more trouble than worth.

Im particularly eyeing that GT220. Is that a good video card?

Uh no, it's a low-end card. Choose GTX260.

 

Actually why don't you go with XPS 8000? After a brief look only difference seems to be the CPU. Instead of i920 you get i750, which is usually faster than 920. Cheaper too.

Inquisitor and Farewell to dragons.

Have been playing this for a few days, awesome RPG.

 

 

 

R00fles!

Be careful and do a backup as there are issues with the toolset see here - http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/category/8/index

If you have PC version someone on Q23 mentioned this:

 

woo I did it..

 

I just turn my backpack slot to 999!!!!!

 

too bad I can only open my earliest save, but looks like it works fine.

 

naa I just open up my savegame with the tool editor, it's actually really easy.

 

But I can't open my later savegame since it's quite large so I can only open my earliest one, all I did was change Party Backpack size from whatever original number to 999..

 

Save. load my game, and my inventory is now 999..

 

got a screenshot, uploaded to my social site, waiting for it to show up right now.

 

steps to expand your inventory size.

1. open up your savegame with extension of .das

2. open up savegame_partylist

3. change savegame_max_item to 999.

4. save, load your game, done.

 

now you can save $7 dollars and not have to walk to warden keep every time you want to deposit some ****.

I will probably wait for the inevitable GOTY! edition if I buy it at all.

Nice, going to try this asap.

 

Apparently the entire game is made by one guy.

 

Wow... Impressive!

Yeah cliffski is a former Lionhead developer.

Disciples III: Forever

Its back and not in stock of course. They need to get it together. WTF is the deal with all of these 5870 cards being out of stock?

Demand is high and TSMC is again having yield problems, which sucks for both ATi and Nvidia.

Au contraire, youve obviously forgotten the 349834598429 threads about how the curse would get to a point that even trying to travel to another location would kill you because of the "time" that passed while you travel.

I remember just one case where traveling from one location to another could incur huge penalty and that was because of a bug. In most locations there are also clumps of neutral spirits, so a use of supress or provoke ability is highly recommended.

It would have been fine if sleeping and traveling didn't screw it up so much. Having to worry about my spirit energy every second, makes it hard to enjoy the rest of the game.

I enjoyed it much more because of that.

 

^That sounds like poor game design. No player should ever be constrained by the choices they make.

 

Well if it were done properly, MOTB would have given the player some mechanism to completely reset/circumvent the curse so you wouldnt get frustrated.

Except there is - Supress.
