...the vehicle combat really had me jaw-dropping.

Vehicle combat? Colour me interested! Aren't they going to release a "GOTY" edition of this game soon so I can pick all of it up at the same time?

 

Oh, and I will play through Mass Effect soon too! If only I can force myself to install it.

Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

I need to replay Mass Effect. Honestly, I hate the game, but I want a perfect save for future stuff.

 

When I did my Renegade ME2 run I saw some new stuff that I never saw in my first run because I missed the quest or something.

Download one of them, pretty sure there's one with every permuation possible out there some how. What's amazing about the vehicle combat ?

Every permutation possible, you say? Then why did I have to settle for a Renegade Shepard that had a stupid name? Because there were no male 100% completion renegades with the default name, that's why!

 

If I try looking for a 100% completion Paragon, I'll probably end up finding default names, but they'll all be female. Mark my words. Or they'll have romanced someone obnoxious (which is any of the romances).

Well seemed like it the last time I checked the archive site, also are save game editors out there too - not sure if you can change character names or appearances, but it's a good possibility.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. :thumbsup:

 

But there's going to be blade runneresque/fifth elementesque flying car chasing/combat in the new DLC.

 

No word of a GOTY yet, but depending on what the PS3 version gets in, er, February? it might be safe to assume that a PC/X360 version would come out around the same time.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

I wonder if they're going to package the Dragon's Age DLC. I have nothing beyond the day 1 stuff.

Batman : Arkham City screenshots

 

Teaching people how the Unreal Engine 3 can look.

HARLEY QUINN IS NOT JEANETTE!!!

 

Pretty hawt, though.

Gotta admit I prefer Jeannette to whatever she looked like in the first one.

 

Two-Face is looking really good too.

Shogun Total War 2 Gameplay footage with AI commentary, to show how AI's improved and what it's doing.

 

Or so it thinks. The game is bloody pretty, looks really awesome and presented well. As usual. The AI looks stone cold retarded, as usual.

 

  • The AI army is larger than the player's, but it sits absolutely still and does nothing while the player advances. This is not a bad decision in this context, as the player only uses a part of his army and he was (probably) the aggressor on the campaign map, but it's not a good example of smart AI, either. It doesn't tell us whether a huge problem in RTW, MTW2 and Empire was solved - that of braindead AI that sits there and never moves.
  • The player sends forth his army in small waves. Yet many TW players generally like to use their entire army to attack or at least to maneuvre, instead of sending them out piecemeal, and the AI doesn't deal with that. The AI sucks at adjusting formation or responding to a moving line. So again, no negative or positive evidence of improved AI.
  • Archers in forest ambushes, good to see.
  • Now player's army is significantly smaller, the AI does charge. Very good.
  • But what's this? If you look at the bit where the narrator says "human brain and outwit the machine", you can see that the AI has actually broken its line. A regiment on the far right is actually rushing in front of the rest of the line to cross diagonally to te other side for no discernible reason, and then, hell, everyone stops for a few seconds. So the AI charges, then suddenly stops, then decides to stick one regiment in no-man's land for no reason. This happened in the majority of vanilla versions for RTW, MTW2 and ETW. So the AI video demonstrates that, at least for now, the AI still can't even pull off a frontal attack properly after 10 years of 'development'.
  • Player rounds then ambushes AI from behind, fair enough.
  • Soon the entire AI army is routed. Again no negative or positive evidence - we dont' know if the AI is smart enough to pull out if the day is gone or stay until everyone's routed/dead.

 

So we have a very pretty and slick video but nothing really to show us that they've stopped screwing over their fanbase as they have done for the last ~10 years, and have actually fixed the idiotic AI. Exciting.

They're showing Duke, but not Aliens Colonial Marines. This is a perversion.
