Just a quick question for anyone who has played, is Max Payne 2 any good? Its 9.99 on amazon, figured I might buy it. Other than that, I've just finished Bloodlines as a prissy toreador and am at the St Edgar's stage of Thief: Deadily Shadows.

The Toreador had the same problem with the trenchcoat also. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My first playthrough was as a toreador...I don't remember them having a free flowing trenchcoat like the Ventrue. Meh. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, you're right, the toreador doesn't have a trenchcoat. Malks do though. A white furry one... with an oversized red hat. Typical. Just finished the anarch ending as a toreador actually, odd choice I know... but I figure the snooty model type was sick of being a pawn. Still, I thought I'd at least see nines again before the game ended.

You've gotta wonder what part drugs played in that though.

not really. It was three endings depending on who you managed not to anger during the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, thats right. It was convo choices wasn't it.

Girth?

Yeah, thats right. None of them were very rewarding though cept the "good" ending.

Wow This is sounding better and better <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its a bit hack and slashy but it has its moments. A fair bit of undead romance too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Romance? Now you peaked my interest. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nothing too interesting, just some vampiric melodrama. The game is kinda a love story between Christof and Anezka. Its all pretty hammy though and completely linear.

The first half was in medieval Europe, Prague and Vienna. The second on the verge of the millennium in London and New York. Really nice idea, though they could have made more of it.

Yeah, though the game didn't amount to much, one thing I liked about redemption was that it spanned two eras.

Quote of the day. :cool:

Wasn't Advent Rising panned by Gamespot? How are the controls fish, I think that was a major gripe.

I think by normal standards DX:IW is a fine game, one that I've enjoyed at least, I still get the urge to play it. In comparison to the original though it is decidedly lacking. Same deal with Deadly Shadows really, though that was probably better than DX:IW.

Joy Division - A Means To An End

Just saw this at gamebanshee, not that I was there any... unscrupulous purposes. http://www.gamebanshee.com/showshot.php?/v...reenshot110.jpg Playing as an arse kissing toreador for the first time, I just reached Hollywood. Wish I'd gone gangrel instead.

Awesome Which clan? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm thinking Nosferatu. Never played one before, also because of the oooglyness and the bondage gear they seem to wear. Superficial, I know but still... just because you're undead, doesn't mean you can't smarten yourself up a bit. You're still enjoying it then Darque?

Damn you! Reading this thread, I have to play the fecking game again now.

About to start a BG2 anew which means a spot of preliminary mod installing is in order. So far I'm thinking ease of use, ascension, banter and (if I'm feeling a little fruity) flirt pack. Gonna have a good trawl through the mod list though, its been a while, I'm out of the BG loop.

Great sales pitch, eh? SalesPitch.bmp
