Deraldin Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I also really enjoy the **** that goes on after the whistle. Its cool having three opposing players skate after you. I always did that stuff in the older games so it interesting to see them officially include it now. I'd occasionally get other skaters to come after me, but they wouldn't do much other than bump into me. I don't think I ever had them react to late shots before though.

Volourn Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I don't mind the after thewhistle play but I wish refs would call more peanlties for it. It's funny that you can smash someone a dozen times with no penalty call but you poke check the goalie just once it is an auto call. L0L Plus, it eats up valauble time when you could be playing the game. Still, it can be fun. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Shryke Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Replaying Jade Empire. The game hasn't aged well. Tiny levels, blocky heads, and lots of unnecessary blahblah. Not that I don't like wordy games though, but listening all time to dawnstar's doubts and whining can get pretty tiresome. Jade Empire's dialogue isn't good. I actually think there's a kind of decline in quality with Bioware from KotOR onward. Maybe it's from BG/II onward, but I've not played them. Personally I thought JE's combat was fairly fun, and the plot twist was actually pretty unexpected, IMO. Well, that you'd die was, anyway. really? i found it really dull and repetitive the only time i ever changed from martial style was if something was immune to it - other than that combat was mashing the x button 95% of the time when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
kingofsquid Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Morrowind. Boy has it grown ugly since the first time I installed it. No doubt about that. But it was fun before I gave it to my cousin and he lost it (and his 360 broke so he couldn't play it anyway). Thanks alot, Deven.
HoonDing Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 With the right mods Morrowind looks better than Oblivion, no doubt about it. Jade Empire was hilarious once you got 'Jade Golem'. Everything, including bosses, just died in two hits. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Also it's a Capcom game so it's very pretty. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Maria Caliban Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Civ IV: Beyond the Sword as I contimplate which new 4x game to pick up. I'm playing at +1 my normal difficulty and ended up on a small continent with Julius, Zulu, Montezuma, and Isabella of Spain. "When is this out.

Slowtrain Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 The Witcher. My 3rd time through. Each time I play this game I think more and more highly of it. 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.

Maria Caliban Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I managed to make it through the game without ever being attacked and got a cultural victory. Isabella, Zulu, and Julius all converted to Judaism and spent a large amount of time attacking Monte. Zulu became my vassel, Julius was constantly annoyed at me but I gave him money, and whenever Isabella's cities revolted to join the French Empire, I gave it back. "When is this out.

Maria Caliban Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 There's a good overview on the wiki: Link Look out especially for the world replacers. Nice. I have the mixed textures pack, the new bodies, and I gained one level. I'm debating going as is with the leveling or d/l a mod that just gives me x5 modifers. If I play naturally, I'll end up with a bunch of x2s all the time. If I download a mod, I'll become too powerful too quickly. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
HoonDing Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 The 'good' thing about Morrowind is that there is no limit on training. So one can get x5 modifiers each time by training misc skills & having major/minor skills that are governed by each attribute. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

SteveThaiBinh Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Just finished Drakensang, which was very fun and interesting, though despite virumor's best efforts I never really did understand the maths of the combat. Will replay now with a different character, perhaps a spellcasting elf? It's a shame so many of the companion NPCs don't become available until late in the game - odd design choice, I think.

Playing with a different character doesn't really change much in gameplay, it only changes the party composition... basically as an Elf you just take over the role of Gwendala (whom I never used when I played as a Ranger). It seems the game was designed with the PC as a warrior/soldier in mind, considering the equipment you get. Even my Ranger needed to pump points in melee combat skills in the late game. Considering Drakensang is the very first RPG of Radon Labs (the developers of Ankh, IIRC), and considering the tiny budget they had to contend with (compared to a BioWare/Bethesda release) I think the game is very impressive. I enjoyed it more in the end than Divinity 2: Ego Draconis. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
