LadyCrimson Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Pretty much, it's Diablo with guns. I do wish they had kept the guns specialization from the first one, but I guess it was annoying to run out of repeater ammo and then be forced to use assault rifles when you're terrible with them. That's what the ammo regen class mods were for. But then they took those away, to encourage using more than one gun and since they weren't needed anymore I guess. lol “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What the game needs is nice, proper miniguns. Or multiple miniguns. *nod* Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofAnakin Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Finished up Far Cry 3 tonight. It fell into the same trap that most games seem to, and one that bugs me, where you just know the final stages of the game are coming up because they send wave after wave after wave of enemies at you. I also hated the QTE during one of the final battles. There was a sequence of, I believe, 4 different chains of QTE. But if you screwed any of them up, you had to go through all 4 again, including some pretty long dialogue leading up to it. Despite those two complaints, I enjoyed myself. Definitely worth the price of purchase, and definitely the type of game (for the most part) I'd have no issue dishing out money on future installments.

Something about only a censored version being available in the US (sort of a "reverse" fallout 2 stunt, where Europeans got the gimped version) Oh yes the character of Delphi (sort of rusalka or water nymph with great martial prowess) was originally supposed to be bare chested but US censors can't stand women breasts, so it got censored out and she was given extra piece of cloth, only for modders to make patch that restores her original look.

Gorth Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 After "magically" giving my party some lower resistance scrolls, my party too out the shadow dragon. Nothing like a pair of lower resistance followed by a salvo of lightning bolts from wands to soften up the old lizard (whose name I can never remember). Now to see if I can repeat the exercise with Firkraag in Windspear Hills. Not doing too many rests along the way, since I don't want Viconia and Keldorn to have a go at each other before getting some red scales for a new suit of armour “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tigranes Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Working roughly 11am-4am each day, though with lots of chatting inbetween. Hoping to tackle the shadow dragon myself and keep the LP alive in the long weekend... I doubt I'll tackle Windspear Hills in Chapter 2, though. I'm pretty sure with SCS it's asking for a party wipe.

Tale Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Some more Dark Souls. Then I tried the DmC demo. Was not impressed.

WorstUsernameEver Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Then I tried the DmC demo. Was not impressed. While it seems counter-intuitive, a way to enjoy the combat system a lot more is to avoid optimizing damage. In the original titles that was what the style meter encouraged, but now it's completely tied to damage :/ Also color-coded enemies kind of ruin that, but that should be mitigated by the additional demon/angel weapons in the final game.

Nepenthe Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Finally managed to find the right spot to tap for a room in bg1, so I'm back on the ipad version (for reference, the patch currently in approval is supposed to have more intelligent tap-and-click recognition, for which I've been waiting). Only at Friendly Arm, will see what happens next. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the problem I'm having with combat or with the game overall. Combat, I didn't hit my stride with in the demo. I kept pulling out the wrong weapon/shifting into the wrong stance. I think that's something I might be able to get over with more practice, if I felt compelled. It's something that may be paced out better in the game too, starting with only rebellion, then getting one demon/angel weapon, then getting the other. But I think it was more an issue for me that I only had like 3 fights in the non-boss level. And then just running around looking for platforms. There was no challenge, either, not even in those challenge rooms. I'm playing on Nephilim and essentially fumbling at the controls, and the only dying I did was to the boss when I didn't figure out it wanted me to hookshot to another platform to avoid the barf. I think that's what impressed me least about it. That the dialogue was a trade of juvenile insults and swearing while fighting a barf monster.
