I bought Two Worlds II for the XB360 yesterday!

It's a fantastic RPG, I am enjoying it far more than I enjoyed Oblivion! Sure, story isn't great, it's the same basic generic bs as Oblivion, but the world design, the crafting, it's all so fun, not to mention it looks tons better than Oblivion in my humble opinion! Great fun in multiplayer too!

Also, I -just- purchased Minecraft before the price is raised, will try to start playing that sometime soon!

I saw that you were playing it last night and I didn't want to interrupt. sounds loads better than Two Worlds 1 which was abysmal

It is, it's great!

It really is hard to believe it's from the same developer.

But, still, Eurogamer Sweden gave TWII 4.5/10, which is a very poor score, but I dunno what kinda shitty taste that reviewer has because this is RPG goodness!

Also, Paulaner, it looks better than New Vegas too, which is also a Bethesda(published) title, and less than a year old, if that comparison makes you happier.
 
Gargantou, what about free-roaming and open-world gameplay?

I'm not sure how to define open-world, but it is most certainly free-roam, it has a quite large maps, tons of exploration to do etc.

There are a lot of side-quests, there are Guilds, there are dice-games(many different variants, poker, who rolls the highest, etc.)

If you classify Oblivion as free-roam and open-world, then this most certainly is too.

I'm not sure how big it is by comparison, but it feels just as big, but that might be because the world feels more naturally designed than Oblivion's did.
 
What's the multiplayer about? Is it just a lot of people on the same map questing? PvP? Also, is there coop?

We need a thread made about this game!

Well, basically there's several modes.

Deathmatch, which is exactly what it implies.

Adventure, linear adventures that you can do either solo or in co-op with up to 7 other players on the 360, more on the PC apparently.

Duel, which also is exactly what it says, 1v1 duel to the death.

Crystal Capture, haven't tried this but I assume it is Capture the Flag only you capture crystals instead or something.

Village, you get to manage your own village which can give you cash, net you items etc if you have the appropriate stores etc, basically a way to make easy cash etc if you manage it well.

Hope that helps.

I can't find my Descent 3 disc so I just rebought it from GOG.com. It was $5 for the game + expansion, manuals, HD wallpaper, and soundtrack zip. Totally worth it. Considering picking up D1+D2 bundle for another $5

Shit yeah. Still got my game + expansion. Game worked really well with my Asus Ti 4600's 3D glasses.

So if I were to choose between Call Of Duty Black Ops and Bad Company 2, which one should I choose in someone's opinion? I need a new FPS to play.
 
Bad Company 2 is $6 on steam. I can't imagine spending 8 times that for Black Ops.

That's my thought process....I can't see as BO being 8 times better. *Hell, I can't even see it as 2 times better...*
 
Perceived value isn't a good value (for consumers). AKA **** Activision.

As much as I disliked certain aspects of BC2, I'd still buy it a million more times over Black Ops. The game is utterly broken for some and patches have been excruciatingly slow to come. It's really as though they did next to no playtesting on the thing. ****ing horrible.
 
I'm going to have to agree. I love the idea of Black Ops in comparison to the design trainwreck that was MW2, but several patches and one month on, the polish just is not there. Fun game? Usually. Well-designed game? For the most part. Quality game? No.

Black Ops is officially my last Activision-related purchase ever. In the hypothetical reality that allows it, this boycott includes Valve titles as well.

I haven't played BC2, but based on my Blops experience, THIS.
 
in the sale i got:
xcom pack
cryostasis
the void (got the fright pack but tbh void was the only thing i wanted and it was cheaper to get the pack than just the void =/)
the witcher
 
Depending on which versions of X-COM it is that Steam has(DOS or Windows) you'll want to use different patches.

If it's the DOS version you should use xcomutil which fixes a ton of the bugs, including the infamous difficulty bug that resets your difficulty to the easiest after your first battlescape fight.

Just a tip, also make sure to read up on UFOpaedia on the various bugs that simply aren't fixed, because they can sometimes **** things up big time for you.

Just some tips.
 
No problem, nothing sucks as much as being close to beating TFTD, only to realize you missed out on researching some early enemies, which means you can't perform vital research that allows you finish the game!

Tons of hours of my life wasted.:p
 
AHA-Lambda said:
ok THAT sounds horrible D=
Click to expand...

Yeah, it's only a problem in TFTD though, but then again I have never beaten any X-COM games, I always manage to **** shit up somehow towards the end :p

But, as far as I know the research tree "problems" only exist in TFTD, it's just poor design really, since later in the game the enemies you need to research if you missed doing it early on don't spawn anymore, hence screwing you over.

Am I the only one who hates the look of the armor/weapons in Mass Effect?

Well, I choose female squad members and I play a female Shepard, so I like the look of those armors...
 
I love the look of ME's armor. Especially Shepherd's customizable one in the second game. The designs are so clean, and I am so happy that its not the stupid hulking exo-skeleton-requiring space marine armor that so many other sci-fi titles have. It looks streamlined and functional, and thats so much more appealing to me.
 
We like it because Fem Shep's butt looks shiny in it.
 
I think it looks ok on females, it suits their body shapes better, it just looks awkward on males.
 
They should let you make a humongous Shepard. Hey the way Americans are getting these days, I can see it happening
 
I just bought Deadly Premonition for the XB360 and Super Meat Boy as a gift to a certain HL2.net member on Steam.
 
bought ass creed: brotherhood.
