WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I'm sooo tired of ME1's planetary side quests. But I really want to have level 60 Shepard for ME2 Then skip those sidequests and just run through the game multiple times until you hit 60. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

cronicler Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I am proud to announce that I am OCD enough to finish Odium with minimum (Read none except story moments) damage taken. I'm not sure who is more OCD, me for unrevealing every puzzle (combat) step by step or the devs for creating those puzzles in the first place. IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I am playing Unreal. Should I stop wondering where the characters are? Or if there's a story? "Alright, I've been thinking.

Morgoth Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 I am playing Unreal. Should I stop wondering where the characters are? Or if there's a story? Nope, back in 1998, story was not really required for most action games. Rain makes everything better.

Starwars Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Decided to try and replay Dragon Age, going for a slightly more evil-ish character this time around. Tried a male human noble this time around. I quite liked that origin, found it to be a lot better than the mage origin (quit playing that replay after a little less than half the game) but not quite as good as the female city elf I played first. The huge amount of filler combat really gets to me at times, but I still really like the characters and the quests/stories for the different "hubs".

RPGmasterBoo Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Fruits or no, I'll have to play Dragon Age. ME 2 left a Baldur's Gate sized void in my RPG appetite. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life

Or if there's a story?The characters are dead (no, really), focus on the atmosphere (and for god's sake, the music man, THE MUSIC) instead of the story. + OVA 9000 Finishing DA left me with no interest to play anything for a while. For once, i actually feel satisfied, like after a good meal. I think that i will read some books or play some guitar instead. Until FFXIII is released, that is.

Nightshape Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Just giving the Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo a spin. The PS3 version is better than I expected.... Doesn't look quite as nasty as the XBox version... Hmmm odd, maybe it was the TV difference. 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!
Guest Slinky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Stalker: Call of Pripyat arrived today from The Hut. I'm going to put it on hold for a while because there's two russian patches released but not a single one for UK version. I might be somewhat crazy in a good way, but I'm not nuts enough to play Stalker game without patches And since my copy of ME2 is still cruising in who knows where, it looks like I'm not going to play anything in a while.

RPGmasterBoo Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 You aren't missing out on much, relax. I've already forgotten what ME2 was about. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Guest Slinky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 You aren't missing out on much, relax. I've already forgotten what ME2 was about. My expectations are very much down to earth, I'm expecting a shooter with corny dialog. I will likely like it enough for couple playthroughs. I just want it to arrive so I can go to ME2 topic to bash it without getting spoiled
Morgoth Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 ME2 is like a Hollywood blockbuster - when you play it's all "Wow, and cool!", but after a week everything is forgotten and you just move on. Bioware has unlearned how to make games that stand the test of time. Rain makes everything better.

ME2 is like a Hollywood blockbuster - when you play it's all "Wow, and cool!", but after a week everything is forgotten and you just move on. Bioware has unlearned how to make games that stand the test of time. I like to hope they're just not trying.

Guest Slinky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Is that crap in the dialog screen side-effect of widescreen mod? And don't post pics like that, you are making me wanna play BG2 again and I don't have the time for that. Go buy Dragon Age Boo, I want to hear what you have to say for the game Bio spend making 6 years.
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Don't know what crap you're talking about, the widescreen mod works perfectly, except that it makes everything very small. Its sad when you think about it, 6 years to make, 6 minutes to deconstruct. I know I'll have to play it... I need mah RPG itch scratched. And I can't play BGII either when I recall how huge it is. I've been thoroughly spoiled by 10-20 hour instant gratification games. I'll just have to take this playthrough slowly...

Guest Slinky Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Don't know what crap you're talking about, the widescreen mod works perfectly, except that it makes everything very small. Click to full screen. Dialog screen is full of those.
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Didn't notice them... they look like repeated textures, to fill the huge space needed for the resolution. Like the stuff next to end dialogue. Sloppy work, but not really very obtrusive. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life

Purkake Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I'm still playing Torment with the widescreen mod and Ghostdog's UI mod on my 1080p monitor. The trick is to set the game's resolution at 720p instead of 1080p and have it upscale it. At the end of the day, it's pretty passable:
