Deus Ex 3
No, PC Gamer is horrible garbage all round. Worst reviews and skewered, pre-arranged grades.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
I like how their characters looked in G1+2+Risen, except the women. PB just can't into women models, they always look weird. :> They had a rough look that was in tune with the "raw" appearance and atmosphere of the game world, especially in Gothic 1's convict camps. But that was back in the day, now when the game world looks all shiny, detailed and crisp I find those models look outdated and blocky.

Why are you pissing in people's Kellogs?

Risen 2: Dark Waters
The latter. There are not enough products for even a semblance of a unifying style to form. I'll disagree with your reasoning. There's some commonalities between the likes of Risen, Gothic, Two Worlds, Divinity 2, and even The Witcher for a subgenre classification. You could lump the first four together on account of similar production values and gameplay similarities but they're still derivative of American RPG's. The Witcher is the only one that is clearly eastern European in its visual style. In my humble opinion of course.

Germany is Eastern Europe now? God, I need to revamp my geography! Ah, you beat me to it.

Don't choke: I agree.

Path of Exile
Some nice art design there.

Witcher 2 Again
In other words you need to actually put in some effort to beat the game, unlike some others that could be mentioned.

Risen 2: Dark Waters
It seems even a decade isn't enough for these people to learn to make character models that don't look carved out of wood. With the rough aesthetics they seem to favor, a pulpier/conan approach to characters and stories might serve them better than rehashing the standard save the world scenario. Truly, RPG gamers have a tolerance for this sort of repetition that borders on stupidity. If the single player RPG has nothing better to offer after so many released titles it probably should finish on the trash heap of PC gaming history.

What are you playing now?
Best ending is when you open the sphere. It changes nothing in the ending itself but is very meaningful for the story.

Or we could try Chuck Norris.

I would be too, if it wasn't my favorite RTS developer making it. I fail to see why Relic was even chosen to make this, their one and only action game was a miserable failure.

Blizzard sure ain't stupid about hiring. Pity they're going to stick to the "Craft" and "Diablo" IPs till hell freezes over.

Reminds me of Bungie and Halo. Although to be honest, Relic people themselves have mentioned that of the former Homeworld team, there's almost no one left at Relic. Sad really, 3D has just gotten to the point where H3 could look glorious. Provided of course the same designers work on it, or at least keep the spirit of the game alive.

We still have no reason to believe that there will be a new AC. The first one didn't sell, that might keep the suits at bay. Although with the rampant necrophilia of the industry...

God I hope not. AC was a perfect game, the only thing it needs is a nice 3d graphical update. I can already see Morgan, Santiago and Miram rendered in CIV4's idiotic childish portraits. Its a nightmare.
