    oh my god, there IS a way to auto-resolve combat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YttdyM8MnNc too bad it'll be patched pretty soon

    I agree completely, making it turn based would've made the game unbearable. just try fighting against 5+ enemies in slow mode and see how long it takes you.

    there are two issues with them. I cannot find a shrine or a switch that opens this door: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/143381638475949401/2797CF01FD0CD6D8E1F9C3AF204ABF5174D8A38B/ tried them all, all combinations of colors. at this point I don't even understand if the shrines only open doors by themselves or if there's a combination (spanning across two main areas even?) that has to be set on them for some doors to open. second issue has to do with other areas of the map, which are completely empty. I've ran out of places to visit, and I know for a fact there is at least one other place I need to go to to get the fourth torchkey for this dungeon: some Twin-Rivers Oldwalls place I don't know anything about, it's not on the map, so I can't get the artifact in this dungeon and finish this quest. I probably spent an hour running around this empty dungeon changing colors on the shrines, then another hour running around populated ares looking for named NPCs to talk to

    as for combat, it's definitely better than PoE in terms of combat mechanics. combos and abilities that are available once per encounter make the game flow better than, say, BG (where you have to rest after every serious encounter to replenish your party's spells). I notice that I rarely have to rest in Tyranny (on Normal difficulty), but I don't know if that's a good thing, since it means most encounters are easily resolved without using 1/per rest combos (the most powerful ones). it begs the question: why have these encounters in the first place? game, force me to rest, force me to spend my camping supplies! I'm always capped at 8, it makes me sad. the encounters themselves are terrible. I should've just set the game to Story difficulty and let combat resolve by itself. maybe this game would've benefited from having an auto-combat function where the game just simulates combat and presents you with the results.

    I got to play Tyranny for 1 day, got to Act 2, and I have to agree with you, it's just trash fight after trash fight. same enemies again and again, I must've fought the "1 red bane + two blue banes" variation in the wisp dungeon 20 times. who the hell designed this ****? and then I got stuck in that dungeon, because I just can't get into the mind state of the person who designed these puzzles. I can't figure out how to open all the doors, and the game may have ****ed me over on this one, since I don't have any other active quests even after going to every single area on the map and speaking to every single NPC. the game is over for me, good thing I didn't buy it, I would've been pissed AF if I had paid full price for it and then get stuck after 10 hours into the game.

    Dirt 3 is free for a limited period on Humble Bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/store/dirt-3-complete-edition-free-game

    I watched a full walkthrough (because I know I won't be getting TF2), and while it starts off slow, and titan portions are for the most part bad, the pilot portions are really good. map design is good, and each level has its theme sort of (there's one level that was inspired by Portal and another one that was inspired by Singularity)

    Just look at what's happening with TItanfall 2. Allegedly it's sold 4 times fewer copies than the original game, and Titanfall 1 is basically a ghost town today (300-500 players globally on a weekend), so people pretty much jumped the Titanfall ship already. I have a feeling people just don't have the patience for this kind of shooters anymore. It's oversaturation with "modern warfare" type shooters, probably (it's been almost 10 years since Modern Warfare's release, and in this 10 years the formula hasn't changed - with Titanfall being the exception, but not clicking with players for some reason).

    when you said "cheap" I imagined a price of 5 USD yeah, 25 dollars isn't cheap at all (it's relative, of course)
  10. sorophx
    I'm asking for a friend anyone here have a spare copy of Tyranny they would be willing to part with?
  11. sorophx
    amen
  12. sorophx
    wow, I kept missing the sales with this game but really wanted to play it. luckily for me... :D

    life on these forums wouldn't be the same without Volo, that's for certain

    I'll be repeating myself, but I think that with all DLCs NV essentially *is* Van Buren
  15. sorophx
    that's what surprised me the most. it seemed as if he was trying to avoid saying bad things about NV even. yeah, I get it, it's too much like New Reno, and Chris was damaged by his experience working on New Reno apparently, but still... is the game's location so important he just can't ignore it?
  16. sorophx
    makes sense, since he likes exploration in FO3 more than in NV, while I think NV had more of a grounded in reality setting, which made exploring its world more interesting to me (see MrBToungue's video on the subject for details, I happen to completely agree with him on everything in regards to FO3 vs NV)

    you're right about having to go through similar combat encounter becoming tedious. I expected people to mod that kind of stuff out of PoE by now, to be honest I can't agree I know at least two games that have better combat than any RTWP game ever: Jagged Alliance 2 and Frozen Synapse
  18. sorophx
    unless combat is actually fun in which case you welcome every battle. RTWP combat can never be fun, though.
  19. sorophx
    I'd go as far as saying that XP is an archaism.
  20. sorophx
    hey, that's right! I used Enchant a lot. man, your post brings back memories
  21. sorophx
    indeed, but one thing to note: the video is unlisted, so it could be used internally for something, and the link simply got leaked?
  22. sorophx
    oh... need to check my sarcasm detector, it's malfunctioning
  23. sorophx
    most of these are from "pay what you want" charity bundles. you get 6 to 10 games at the price of one. your post does have the word "charity" in it, so you're half correct
  24. sorophx
    I can't play breath of death vii without playing through the first 6 games
  25. sorophx
    same with Westerado, I believe. someone will get lucky tonight, really good games on that list! Most titles are unfamiliar to me, though, I'll spend the next hour googling them, and considering my luck, the ones i'll like will have been taken already when I finally get around to requesting them from Shady
