What are you playing?

[pacdiggity]

Wow, that reply was comprehensive. I loved the flourishes, it made the combat so much more interesting. I really loved that hobbe one too, it made me feel like a god whenever I did it. I did think it was a bit annoying how it slowed down every time a flourish happened, because they actually happen quite frequently.
I agree about the money. It was easy, I see all these people complaining everyone in their kingdom died because they didn't have enough money, because they didn't buy anything early on in the game. And I did like the sanctuary, I actually liked it so much I made a similar system in VX (I should probably release that >_<).
Really I only asked because I wanted to know what was different between the PC and 360 versions. Not much, it seems.

I should get that DLC.

[Grafikal]

I'm not really certain how it is on the XBox, but on the PC it's pretty simple. Hold in the LMB to charge a flourish, right click to use the AOE for spells or aim for the guns. We get hotkeys for F1 - F4 with the Potion, Food, Summon Potion and Time Potion. This was kind of annoying for me personally. I would have liked to rebound them to something else like 1 - 4 instead. I'm playing on my laptop, so I have the F keys, but I have to hold in the Function key as well which is at the bottom of the keyboard. So in the middle of battle it's annoying to have to stretch my hand across the keyboard to toss down a potion. We could rebind most other keys. I think there was options to rebind those ones but whenever I tried it said I couldn't, lol. The interact key is E. You do mostly anything by pressing or holding E. The hot keys in the sanctuary are also F1 - F4. Annoying for the same reason as above, but not as bad since I'm not rushing to drink a potion, hah.

Also, in the DLC they made the Bandit Camp functional now. So you can revisit it and sleep with their whores or play their shooting minigame and win a couple of badass guns. There's a rifle that has 3 unlockables and each one is the same. You gain money whenever you hit an enemy x3 if you unlock it all. Properly named "The Moneymaker". It's not powerful though. There's also a pistol which is the best in the game called "The Black Dragon". I forget its unlockables though. It's good though. As good as most rifles, but much faster. You just can't snipe anymore, not that you ever needed to though.

[pacdiggity]

I'm content with my guns thanks, I got the one in the treasury. It's amazing. But I will look into that.
And my condolences for your F1-F4 problems. Write Lionhead an angry letter.

Knights in the Knightmare (PSP) and...
Condemned 2

The Witcher 2
Galcon Fusion
Starcraft
Warcraft III
I hate playing RTS games against AI. The only tactic they employ is rush.


@Graf: What are your PC's specs and how well does it run on your system? good to know that it's a great game, since I'll probably be buying it soon.

[Gracie]

Umm, Oddworld again. Oddysee, since its fucking difficult. I invented something similar to a nuzlocke run. You may die twice in the entire run. You cannot kill a single mudokon.


I was considering making an oddworld platformer, using the abandoned sligstorm concept they have.


Other than that, I played Dead Rising 2 for the first time the other day. I luff it.

[strike]

AC: Bro Hood, i'll probably keep playin dirt now and again too.

All this stuff about Revelations made me want to play some Assassin's Creed.

[strike]

fucking FINALLY.

[Holkeye]

D&D: Daggerdale

It is the dumbest game ever, but its so fun.

[Arrow]

Mass Effect 2.

[Grafikal]

I thought about getting Daggerdale, but didn't. Instead I opted to get The Witcher 2 and Two Worlds 2.

[Holkeye]

Daggerdale is like $15. It was worth it.

[Grafikal]

Is it a short game? Like a single short campaign kind of thing? Or full length for $15 lol

[Holkeye]

Its a full length, but its an Xbox Live Arcade title that they did a PC version of. Its really repetitive, like I said. You just basically hack and slash and get treasures, but its fun for a while. Even more so with friends.

[Holkeye]

Double post to update my preorder list:

I paid off the Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition. Its $30, and it has everything that you could get for Oblivion.

I also reserved:
Rage
Skyrim
Bioshock Infinite
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
and Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.

[Grafikal]

I'm really looking forward to Rage and Skyrim, even more so for Skyrim.

[firerain]

Skyrim is going to be epic.

[Grafikal]

I expect there to be a fair amount of bugs for the first few weeks of release, no doubt. Always is.

[firerain]

Not as bad though as with Oblivion or Fallout. They finally got rid of the horrid GameByro engine. Thank fucking god.

[SirJackRex]

Darkspore.
It's good, but it's persistently online and therefore you can't pause, even if you're playing solo. There's a surprising amount of violence for a T-rated game, too. Enemies become torrents of blood and organs upon death.

Skyrim looks great. Those dragon battles...I can't wait for it.

[Strak]

I'm playing the piano.

Lol, no, I'm playing Zelda, Ocarina of Time. Collectors edition, Master Quest for the Gamecube. Not the DS 3D version. Screw the DS.

[Holkeye]

Skyrim will be buggy. Its a given. With games as massive as Bethesda's are, you just know that some things will slip through. I don't care though. They're perfect in their imperfections.

[firerain]

Yeah it will be, but nowhere near as buggy as Oblivion or Fallout 3/New Vegas. They're not using shitty GameByro so this will be a HUGE difference.

[Holkeye]

Its not "Gamebyro", its "Gamebryo". Like "Embryo", and it wasn't that bad. Yeah, it was buggy, but it was perfect for those games.

[firerain]

No, it was a really shitty engine.


and i don't care about the spelling of it, so that's irrelevant, captain spelling.
