Slowtrain Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I would play SOZ but it needs a stupidly large patch so I'll just go play solitare instead... mmmm solitare. Wasn't that thing finished a year ago or something? Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Nightshape Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) Solitare is horrible... I'm going to stare at the wall while it patches... I wouldn't mind, but the fact that every .dll has been duplicated for each SKU is annoying, it makes me want to slap someone. Edited November 26, 2008 by Nightshape I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!

Obs made a winning move there. Is there such a thing as QA? Starting game three of Fallout 3. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Starwars Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I would gladly download a patch of the same size if it made Fallout 3 stop crashing. Also, if it's the one called "NX1 VO fix" or something like that, those are the files needed for the Mask of the Betrayer campaign that broke. You don't need to download those to play SoZ.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I think I'll toss MotB into the drive and give it another go before I get SoZ - I've only ever finished it once and I'll most likely not be buying the other expansion within the next month (I've spent way too much on games recently and I need to cut back a bit, although I might make an exception for an Obsidian product). Anyone tried the Yuan-ti Pureblood yet? They sound interesting and I'll definitely give it a go once I get the expansion. "Geez.

Starwars Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I like Yuan-Ti quite a bit, though the Gray Orc just looks much cooler. My first party had a Gray Orc Cleric/Doomguide of Kelemvor, hehe! A fun thing to do in SoZ is making a party consisting of races with level adjustments and go out looking for the more challenging fights.

Aristes Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm surprised I haven't seen a review of this in CnC yet. I'm iffy on the purchase, though. I enjoyed MotB quite a bit, but I'm getting sick of DnD CRPGs generally and the NWNx engine specifically. Still, I might break down and get it. I dunno. I'll take a wait and see approach.

Morgoth Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I started playing SoZ today. So far, it's good, but it doesn't hook me up so intensily like MotB did. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I wouldn't go with SoZ, it'll break your game. They now have a patch to fix that issue. "Geez.

Theseus Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I've been playing No One Lives Forever: The Operative on my laptop lately. Its so damn good. I love the story, and how it actually drives the player. For instance finding the intelligence is worthwhile because it gives more background on all the players, and is funny as hell most of the time. Also listening in on the baddies is quite hilarious too. Monolith had quite a sense of humor when writing this! Im in Germany right now, and im infiltrating the STASI base.

Morgoth Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Finally continued to play some Dead Space again. I'm now in Chapter4, and these huge bulky boss monsters don't really make any sense at all. But it's much better with a gamepad to control. Rain makes everything better.

Guard Dog Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I uninstalled all games except NWN and NWN2 (and all XP's). Back to working on my NWN2 mod. Bloody hard work compared to NWN1. But I'm going to finish come hell or high water this time.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Finally continued to play some Dead Space again. I'm now in Chapter4, and these huge bulky boss monsters don't really make any sense at all. But it's much better with a gamepad to control. The monsters actually get scary around the 3/4 mark. You'll be seeing a lot less of the regular zombie. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Deadly_Nightshade Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm mainly playing BioShock and Assassin's Creed - although I am still a little miffed that the former requires an on-line activation (no installation limits though, and that's not a bad thing for I would not have bought the game if it still had them).

Pop Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I felt the urge to start playing Mass Effect again, and unfortunately I installed the PC version (don't know where my 360 copy is, exactly) and hit a game-bricking General Protection Fault a few days into my game. Checked on their forums and there's a 30-page long thread started in May (when the game was released) filled with people who can't figure out how to get past it. Troika wasn't this bad. Blame EA, I suppose. Support for other Bioware games has been pretty good. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame EA, I suppose. Support for other Bioware games has been pretty good. Jade Empire didn't receive much better support than Mass Effect has. IIRC it had one patch and if your problem wasn't fixed by that you were SOL. Two games doesn't really constitute a pattern, but I sure hope they do more with Dragon Age.

Aristes Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I took Enoch's advice and downloaded Deus Ex off of Steam for 10 bucks. I'll give it a shot. I wouldn't mind trying gametap, but I move slowly on things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musopticon? Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 IWD 2 is a blast, I love it to bits. I love the hook horrors to tiny bits of bloody pulp with a hasted Shambling Mound. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Nikolas Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Played through the Company of Heroes Demo. It was great! Sadly my current computer won't run it well so I'll wait to play the whole game until upgrading. The physics and AI were really impressive and I felt like I could do anything I wanted to do on a battlefield of that scale. Particularly blowing stuff up. Great great stuff.
