  1. Now, with the patch, with these settings I'm getting 20 fps outdoors and 30 indoors. That's with ubersampling on and, while playable, it really isn't satisfactory. With ubersampling disabled I get between 40 and 50 fps. Perfectly smooth.
  2. What? The demo, a free download made to promote sales of a game, has different release dates for different geographical zones? What kind of sense does that make?
  3. Yes, of course. The highpoint of intelligent modern writing is the non-phrase "**** you". There aren't enough facepalms in the world. I mean I understand the sentiment. But there is no reason to do it in such a way nor is it entirly accurat. It's all in the marketing and brand reputation. The best comparison is between Bethesda and Obsidian due to the Fallout games, although Bioware could enter the discussion as well. Both Bethesda and Obsidian release fairly buggy games but, in the case of Fallout 3 and New Vegas they each released games that exhibited roughly the same amount of bugs and the same actual bugs. Yet one is considered a triple A developer that releases great, if buggy, games while the other one is considered to release good games that are compromised by bugs. See the difference in public perception? Also, a moment should be taken to consider the amount of content and complexity of the game systems in a traditional RPG, and the content in most bug free action games released today. The difference is huge and means a lot more investment in QA would be necessary to achieve the same sort of polish that a Gears of War or an Uncharted show.
  4. That was pretty brilliant.
  5. The contents are covered in tiny little Witcher hairs. Or something. Seriously, I had to go wash my hands.
  6. I haven't opened it yet. It's right next to me here at work. Edit: Also, what should I do with the stupid Geralt head? Perhaps I should do a poll.
  7. My CE arrived on Monday but I'll only be able to spend some time in the game on Thursday. Oh, woe is me! Edit: the box is huge. It's more than two times the size of the Witcher's European edition, which was already pretty big.
  8. Either that, or the other alternatives listed above. Of course, there are more ways of "invading" that the classic use of military force, these days. Lots of high-paying "modeling jobs" to entice young women from poorer countries? Mail order Western brides.
  9. The score is low by modern standards, I guess, but the pluses and minuses sound really, really good. It reads like an absolutely awesome game with very minor niggles.
  10. Using Lucas as an example, are there armours that are better suited for the one handed stance, than for the two handed stance?
  11. I'm going to play this with a fairly inexperienced gamer, so I was wondering how user friendly is Dungeon Siege 3. How do the tutorials in DSIII work? Are they integrated into the plot? How in depth are they? Can you skip them? What about general in game help? Is there a help menu you can access when the game is paused? Are there tool tips and UI button prompts (press A to open door, etc)? Additionally, on PC, do the button prompts recognize the input device being used and change appropriately?
  12. Those French videos left me wondering. How does Anjali's clothing affect her fire slinging form?
  13. I saw them in game. I'm not sure where, but I think it was in Watcher's Keep. Edit: No, it was the reward to the pantaloons thing! I only got them using Dan Simpson's walkthrough.
  14. http://gawker.com/5803805/john-lithgow-giv...-deserves-mcrdt Pure brilliance!
  15. *insert unfunny joke about dark energy being actually Vegemite. Hur hur Australians*
  16. It should be noted, by the way, that the Copenhagen Interpretation sees the wave function, and hence the probabilities, as a mathematical device without any real existence.
  17. No PC makes Rockstar an evil dev.
  18. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretatio...antum_mechanics
  19. 1. Gimme Honest Hearts. 2. Got the game. 3. My backlog is large enough.
  20. Everyone that posts performance numbers should post specs as well. And screen resolution as well.
  21. you need more screwdrivers than with a desktop PC, but yes it should be possible.
  22. My feet are handsome, modelling worthy pieces of divine sculpture, thankyouverymuch.
