WDeranged Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Just uninstalled Fallout 3 after a quick sweep of places I'd not been, it's hard to believe I've played it so much over the last three years and still not seen it all, Bethesda games are excellent value for money. Anyway, I just got Fallout 2 installed, I never did see everything it had to offer so I'm fully patched up and ready to go, this should keep me busy till Skyrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Every time I try to play Dragon Age 2, something just bothers me and leaves me grumbling as I log off. Last night I went to the High Market district or whatever the nice one is at night, and I was attacked by about 20 guys labelled City Guard Imposters. What the heck? So your telling me a group of 20 hoodlums decide to buy full armor and masquerade as city guards, and then they decide to attack the heavily armored warriors making their way to the temple? For what reason exactly? At least when I was fighting orcs or whatever, it was made clear that they were fairly mindless and driven forth by a dragon. This game just has way too much needless violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I don't mind violence in games, but I do hate having to slog through endless and frequent respawns. It ruins the gaming experience for me. If nothing else, respawns should lessen over time as you kill off the enemy population. I'm still slowly going through Planescap with the wife.

Hurlshort Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I just want the violence to make sense. Later on I ran into a mercenary crew of four. They attacked me with very little provocation. But then they had four waves of reinforcements show up. This merc outfit was competing with me for a rather small reward, so how were they going to split that with the 50+ people in their company? What the heck is going in here? How did the last wave even convince itself to attack when I already created a pile of bodies? It all goes back to one of the first fights, where a bunch of deserters from Ferelden decided to attack me, who had done nothing to them, and the city guards. These guys turned tail and ran from their duty, but they are gung ho to go against and entire city guard? What the hell? Anyways, I've played about 6 hours over the course of many months, and I think I need to just give it up. I keep hoping it will get better or capture my attention, like almost every other Bioware game has. But I guess this is just not meant for me.

Gorth Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm still slowly going through Planescap with the wife. We're at the Brothel. "That was your first wish." Took me 6 games before I realised the Brothel had a basement level Not that there is anything down there, but still... I really need to play that game again soon. This time with the fix pack and unfinished business mods. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Lexx Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Playing some Fallen Earth, as it's Free2Pay now. So far it's all about collecting stuff for crafting and fetch-quest, fetch-quest, fetch-quest, kill-quest, fetch-quest,... I mean, it's like every other MMO when you go by that. I just don't get how people can play this for years. A week or two, okay. But years? I don't get it. Even if I would play it with other people now... fetch-quest, fetch-quest,...?

Malcador Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 DOW2, I'm definitely not Captain material, that's for sure. I do like the change of the priority target missions, some are destroy buildings then an elite. Although, that means I lug Cyrus around all the time. Why has elegance found so little following?

Undecaf Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Battlefield 3. Lots of fun. Few questions, if you will: Lots of snipers and camping? Lots of bunnyhopping? How's the pace on the MP maps? I'm about to upgrade my rig sometime later this year and I can finally see what's all the fuss about directX10 and 11, and as a sideproduct I'll be able play BF3, so that's why I'm asking.

WDeranged Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Battlefield 3. Lots of fun. Hows the network performance in a fully packed game, many bugs?

Nope, doesn't feel anything like the beta. most maps are huge with good split between people going infantry, support and vehicle. Teamwork is a must. Also, played a small paris map where action was really block by block - it took a lot of effort and coordination to be able to push towards objectives Battlefield 3. Lots of fun.

After being burned by every pre ordered PC game for 12 months in a row I'm severely jaded but I like to hope Battlefield 3 isn't going to suck for me on launch day. There are bugs, just like in every BF game to date, but judging from DICE's response they're pretty serious about supporting the platform. There was a already a huge day one patch Battlefield 3. Lots of fun. Do you play the PC retail version, and if yes, how is Origin implemented? Yup, pc version. Origin is bit annoying, but you don't need to use it much at all, all of server searching and friend management is done through battle log which is awesome. Check out reddit BF3 community. There are few people from dice there: http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
