Musopticon?

Bought Genma Onimusha from Gamestop for 12 euros. A freaking steal. I loved Warlords and this is even better.

EB is geared towards Normal/Very Hard in terms of keeping unit boni in combat to a reasonable level, but also helping the map AI to keep the early tiny factions alive with extra cash. For those not in the know, the difficulties either add a bonus to morale and damage for your units or to enemy ones. IIRC, Normal is neatral, Easy adds 3 points to your troops, Hard gives the enemy +3 and Very Hard +7. Campaign map AI is a lot more convoluted process, but at least higher difficulties increase the funds that AI factions gain and decrease or increase the chances of any percentage-based action, like the possibility of assasinating a general, for you.

Phew.

well, I'V4E BEEN urnk for like foour hours, nis kin ofg fun . llol, wel'll se yuou guys. i havbe boobs to catc h

Bought Hobb's Renegade's Magic. I'll see how it turns out to be this week.

Yes, you!

Thanks a lot. Jerkface.

Redirection of lightning is a separate ability, it hasn't got much to do with the amount of hate needed to conjure fiersome electric current from nothing. A very impressive feat by any standards, Yoda's mastery of the technique is a testament to the old man's sheer power of will. Not to mention the amount of training needed to be able to realign the most destructive of the dark side's abilities. I think force lightning is a good sign of some serious dark side ability, established by the few indiviuals who are able to use it in the canon and their alignment with the dark side. And everyone tends to at least frown, sneer or just cackle maniacally when unleashing it, heh. Remember that being able to use dark side powers doesn't automatically make you "evil", it just tells of the potential and propensity of the invidual to deal with their darker urges - anger, lust, hatred, greed, etc and harness them. To be able to use those feelings for offense in such finesse is a rare trait. It's what the offense is aimed at that marks the user. Though I'd seek some serious help if someone's brooding would manifest as controllable electricity.

Go away. On Tales of Vesperia, the demo was interesting, but overwhelming. How is the actual start of the game? Does the game offer the same multitude of characters and abilities from the beginning or are there fewer and simpler to grasp combat encounters? I'm asking because a co-op rgp is something I'm very interested in and I happened to like the art of the game. Not to mention, Eternal Sonata was pretty good. On the other hand, the demo felt like somebody throwing me Vagrant Story 2 and asking to level up enough in a very tight timespan to face an endboss. I was almost completely at loss at first.

Which is exactly what made that funny.

So, would an old Athlon 1,8 gigs, Geforce 6600 and 1 gig of ram run it at least decently on low-medium?

I've been bitter and sceptical ever since I bought into the Red Faction hype back then. Meh. I wish we'd at least get basic Thief series stuff like breakable windows(which to slink through), doors and/or locks that break with enough punishment and burnable surfaces. That's a lot to work with already in an rpg enviroment.

I've wanted to play the Gothic crusade campaign ever since I wrote a paper on the history of Liivinmaa, but I really need an upgrade to play the darn thing. Or maybe just the demo was horribly slow and slidehow-tastic, huh? Not likely.

Can anyone answer that? I still haven't played MTW 2, mainly because I hear it's a medieval revamp of R:TW, but also because my rig cries blood. I'd like to know potential good mods for the game once I get around to it.

In the fundamentals, it's a bit like taking one KotOR, removing melee combat, seasoning it with Pohl and Reynolds and adding lesbian sex. That sounds really fcking awesome until you realize how silly a game K1 was. Edit: Dear god, poolofpoo is back.

That was so much WIN. I hope it's possible to just blow a lock in with a shotgun if sneaking fails.

Total Realism can bite my behind until it's finally finished. Last time I looked(albeit a year ago), it was fairly boring blizfest through an undoubtedly revamped and expansive Europe, but needed mods like the Platinum Edition and Metro and Naval mods to be interesting. Those completely redo the economy and make historically fertile areas profitable, trade doesn't rule the map anymore and even backwaters have a chance against Egypt and Makedonia. Anyways, for truly the best mod ever, try Europa Barbarorum version 1.1. It's one of the few truly finished and bug-tested total conversions for Rome:Total War and BI. Last time I looked, there wasn't any of the original R:TW assets left in the game. It's a true conversion, a game that every history nut has to play. It's funny, their art is cool, their music is an interesting mix of historical and hollywoodian, UI art looks like it came from BfME 2, but everything is as historical as can be. There's like 8 archeologists in the original team, forgodssakes. They even added a faction based on Southern Arabia, where every other mod has stopped to Egypt. There's a faction which borders touch China, Rome has hstorical military rank and political progression, they created faction leader images based on the old coinage and...well, just play it. Perhaps a testament to the team's genius, while there's blocks of text in every unit description and everything is named and translated to original languages, they even dug up a proto-Germanic expert to help with the various tribal units in Eastern Europe, the game still has pics like this: Go download the install file. Yeah, a freaking install file.

Uh-huh. So I guess I should.

This. I doubt there's a sinister conspiracy going on, since the game was playable at X08.

Kind of a discrepancy there, heh. You should, excluding TOEE, that's what Troika's games were good at.

Well, I liked Mafia well enough. Jagged Alliance 2 was also pretty cool back in the day. How's that for starters?

I will, though that thing seems to be fairly rare. To be honest, I'm full of epic magic fests right now. If anyone can recommend me something down the earth, I'll be thankful. Moat: N was the physics-based ninja flash game, released as N+ into Xbox Live Arcade. And NotPron has been solved by about a dozen people last I looked. Don't worry, I suck at the thing as well.

N is fun, so is NotPorn and all the clones. Though I might have a very different idea of what makes a fun internet game than some. I got that Dungeon Siege 2 finished. Cullen was a dual-wielding Knight at level 42 when I finally killed Valdis the Impostor. Had Evangeline as a melee backup with a bladed fighter staff and constant Whirling Strike spam, left the back row of the party to Amren who was glad enough to use the overkill unique crossbow that the seventh to last enemy in the game dropped and finally Taar took care off all buffing and healing ever since I dropped Deru off the party because a secondary healer felt nonsensical in the first chapter. Final boss fight was pretty cool, though I liked the Archmage fight a lot more. Had a lot to do with atmosphere I guess. Valdis' saving grace was the spot-on voice acting. When he drops the tough guy facade to yell after the broken sword and the gray eminence(lol twist) just tells him to go buy the farm, I felt pretty rewarded for all the clicking I had to bear before finally getting to the final sanctum. The dialogue was mostly tied to convention of course, but the delivery was great. The end cinematic itself was balls though. Sure, looked fine, but I was hoping for something more personal ever after the Aman'lu enounter with Drevin's sister. That kind of actual characterization for the main character was something completely out of the blue for me. In a hack'n'slash game of all things! All in all, best bargain bin game ever. Works like a charm on almost any 'puter and is brilliant fare to kill the hacking need before Diablo 3 comes to clean the table and everyone forgets what happened before in the genre.

Looks like someone still stays on the ignore list.
