I still can't believe we have a few Dungeon Siege fans onboard now. I must admit, that's one of the last things I'd ever thought I'd find on Obsidian's boards.

I even liked the little Colin McRae tribute they put in it after you complete a certain race series. I also have high hopes for Dirt 3 (coming soon, yay!)

Canon EOS 7D vs. Barbie Video Girl: http://www.buzzfeed.com/awesomer/canon-7d-...rbie-video-girl Well, it made me laugh at least.

Watch the The Guild too, if you liked Dr. Horrible. There's no music, but the humour is the same. I watched the entire series on Xbox Live (Is that what it's called?).

I can't help myself, I have to post ONE Playboy model Luckily, it should be safe..I think.

I like that you die so fast. Even though it has regenerating health, the guns are serious in this game. I did exactly what Raithe said: walked through a doorway and was met by a guy with a shotgun. Boom, instant death. I've now found four out of five Playboy pictures. They were really easy to find and I have a clue where the last one is, but I ran out of time. I hope they aren't this obvious in the real game, although there'll be 50 of them there. Should I try posting them in the screenshot thread?

You're posting in the technical part of a total geek forum. I really need more info than that!

I've only found the one in your kitchen. I'd post a screenshot, but since it's not a picture of mutilated human being shot at or sadistic violence with dismemberment and intestants everywhere, the Americans on this forum might take offence. Naked polygon women might seriously damage your mental health.

What does this mean? Have you actually tried Crysis on it? At what resolution? And what fps did you get?

Had to try out the Mafia 2 demo. It's really good, but it's limited to 10 minutes of town exploration. Annoying, but I am sure Bukkake will find a 'fix' for that soon. Anyhow: I sure know how to spend those 10 puny minutes you get.. The feel of the cars is very good. It took me all of one minute to create a huge crash and a police chase. Avoiding certain death by a few inches.

I'm enjoying the Mafia 2 demo, in short 10 minute intervals..

Felicia Day is hot.

Pretty ironic.

You go to a concert and you're not smack in the front? *COUGH*ρussy*COUGH*

Typical.

Another thing I don't understand is why all RPG's revolve around killing things. In most of them the main way to gain experience points is to kill other people! Why am I learning how to forge armour by killing other people?! For those rare games that don't hand out experience points for murder, you still usually have to murder tons and tons of people, but with the difference being that the murders now feel even more meaningless since you're not even getting any experience points for them (Bloodlines comes to mind).. I once played a CaRPG (lame name, I know) called Road Trip. In it, you were actually a small, talking car.. But that wasn't the genius (hrmm) of it, it was the way you levelled up and 'battled'. You had this huge open world where you could move freely (as long as your car could take you there), and you could drive from town to town and race various other cars. If you won the race, you gained experience points (money). When you had enough experience points you could go to a store and buy more expensive parts for your car, thus making you faster and able to win tougher races. Otherwise you solved quests and explored as usual. By the end of it you were a F1 contender. Great little game! I've often wondered why no other games dared take this approach? Why must every game revolve around killing when there are so many other activities that you could do? How about a football RPG? One that plays like FIFA (or a slightly simpler version of it), where you have control of ONE character in a persistent world (and series). You'd have to win matches (or at least play well in the matches you lose) to level up your character so you can run faster for longer, be more accurate with your shots, become stronger etc. Then you'd advance from division 8 in the countryside all the way up to international level and Premier League or something, all the while managing your life and finances/sponsorships. I'm just so sick of always having to kill things.

I don't understand why it's so difficult to make interesting games set in contemporary times. I mean, we have thousands of movies that manage the feat, so why not games? Why do games always have to have paranormal activities, magic and other assorted mumbo-jumbo to make them more 'interesting'? I don't want fantastical elements! I want a game with a story so interesting that it carries itself over and beyond the need for "fantastical elements", a story that deals with mature issues and topics and makes the player feel something other than bloodlust or that weird empty feeling you get when you play the latest collect-a-thon. I thought Alpha Protocol would be that game, but it turned out to be a type of RPG I'm not very fond of (linear, small levels, etc.). I have not played it yet though, but I have noticed that I have a lot more fun when playing sandbox type of games. In fact, I almost exclusively sandbox games nowadays.

Awesome. Of course, I expected nothing less from an Obsidian game. It's a bit scary that something they're basically unique in doing in the game industry is what I've come to expect from them. They've set the bar pretty high for themselves!

I prefer the Sacred/Sacred 2 style: gigantic open worlds for you to explore with lots of different towns and dungeons.

That is actually great news. They're obviously masters of technology (Red Faction: Guerilla!), but their game designs have been somewhat.. lacking. But an action RPG might be what they do well!

So basically everyone on this board hated Fallout 3.. yet everyone bought the DLC's for it?

I remember that. Every time you entered an inn you'd be wading through furniture and after a few feet you'd be pushing this ginormous pile of chairs and tables in front of you, slowing you down and making progress nigh on impossible. Very annoying.

And the Emo'est In my day that was called Punk. In my day that was called butt ugly.

I bought the Collector's Edition.

This picture actually made me "LOL": http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/visuali...greatest-vanit/
