PK htiw klaw eriF Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've been playing DARK and Fire Emblem: Awakening. The quality of these games is like night and day. Which one is bad? I liked FEA enough(played every English FE release and FE4 and FE6 through translated emulators) but thought it screwed the pooch when it came to balancing skills and enemy reinforcements.

Keyrock Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The Challenge: Clear my plate in time for Shadowrun Returns (July 25th) and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat Misery 2.0 Mod. The Nitty Gritty: Finish current Jade Empire playthrough - Easy because Jade Empire is fortunately/unfortunately so short. Finish Unepic - Moderate as it's a fairly lengthy game by all accounts. Do another run with another character in Grim Dawn alpha - Easy because it's only about a third of what will be the complete game. Do a couple more seasons in GRID 2 - Easy since it's a game I can easily leave and come back to any time without quests to worry about.

entrerix Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 playing a lot of star wars tor, its pretty fun, too much running through open fields though, reminds me of guild wars in that regard, but maybe thats just how MMO games are Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

LadyCrimson Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Downloading alpha 0.6 of Planet Explorers! They had the torrent D/L option up late last night, along with emailing the access keys, but I waited for the direct link. I'd prefer to wait a bit longer on a slower D/L than have to install yet another program just to D/L something. I'm weird that way. The list of changes is huge, and I like most of them. Hopefully I won't be one of the minority that encounters oodles of game breaking bugs. We shall see! “Things are as they are.

Yes opinions that influence our decisions so of course we like to hear a different one if you have one?

DARK is the bad one, yet I can't stop playing. Think I've played it for 4 hours. I've left the game on without touching it for another 6 hours. I can forgive the game not being an amazing product but I can't forgive the awful save system. Someone needs to take a bullet in their kneecap for that one.

Labadal Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 It only gives you two saves between checkpoints. This is frustrating if you save too early and have no saves left. I had used up all my saves for the biggest level in the game. I then killed of every enemy silently only to get shot by a sniper (the boss I presume) seemingly oit of nowhere. While he did his job in excellent fashion, the developers did not. Yet I keep playing the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
