What are you playing now?

Wow that's one of the shortest games ever.. beat DS:E in about 5 hours! Maybe I should have played on a higher difficulty... oh well, there's always challenge mode or co-op.

Playing through DS2 now. I've got to Chapter 2 with the engineering suit finally but I've still got no map.. is this supposed to be the case? Also on a related note, I'm missing loads of logs in the database for chapter 1 (about but there are no more to be found... what the deuce?!

Why did they have to move the RIG to select, I keep pressing Triangle ala DS1 and wasting my stasis packs =\ How annoying.

so me and my roommates got disconnected from the internet 2 weeks ago because there are no reliable dutch internetproviders and somehow the cables running to the house got eroded or something. anyway, i decided it was time to finally finnish the witcher (enhanced edition). what a fucking game. i love the atmposphere, the dialoges, the sory and the amount of humor the game delivers, but...

WHAT THE FUCK MAN

first off, let me start by saying i CUNT!! FUCK FUCK!!! love this game. but it's so fucking full of bugs it becomes nearly unplayable at times. like saving a game just before a fight? good luck, the fade in after a load game is 3 seconds EAT SHIT, CUNT! FUCK! in which you can't move your witcher. the npc can do whatever they please though - like slashing you to dead in those valuable 3 seconds. fucking retarded.

and don't get me started about clipping. half of the time CUNT!! SHIT! you're 'hopping' from the next small bump to another, feels laggy and it looks like shit because the animations pretty much suck. it also makes for weird, uncoordinated and static gameplay. seeing your player SHIIIIT!!! CUNT! float over obstacles and making half, unfinnished animations is not exactly helping me immerse in the gameplay. especially not when this occurs every 5 seconds.

then there are the fighting styles, which is pretty damn awesome. basicly you have different swords which you can each use in three modes (strong, fast and group - depending on the situation). unfortunatly it takes like 5 seconds to select a sword and then select the appropriate style for combat, which is enough to destroy your chances SHIT!! of survival in alot of situations. that is of course, if everything goes well, which CUNT!! PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY!!! half of the time isn't the case, since the gui feels like a 1998 html website with a laggy button script.

the monster AAAGGHH FUCK! FUCK! DICK!! ai (humans aswell as nonhumans) is on level with a retarded kid with his brain eaten out by dr. lecter. they get stuck behond objects alot and having them charge directly at you (NO exceptions!) doesn't really make them that scary. it makes them funny.

the scene where you encounter a wherewolf is a total trip. the werewolf looks shit (and this is an understatement tbh) and the animations for the cutscenes are so bad it made me litterally cry urine. for the people who don't know what i'm talking about; imagine a hairy elephant with a pigsnout jumping from roof to roof with the elegance of a func_conveyor.

right now i'm stuck in one of the final quests because i saved at the wrong time. having those precious 3 seconds rudely stolen away from me because of the fade-in and having me loading the same part over and over and over again pretty much threw me off and that makes me frustrated as hell. the concept of this game is amazing, the story, the way you upgrade your character, the charming dialogs, that's really awesome. but this game is so full of FUCK SHIT bugs that it feels FUCK FUUUCCKK like playing an early beta at best. because of it's high potential i would still encourage anyone to play this, despite my SHIT!! CUNT! rant concerning dr. lecter eating the brains of a retarded kid and all.

Today in Bad Company 2 I parachuted through the explosion of the helicopter I was riding, landed in the cloud of smoke and debris, LMG'd two enemy soldiers, and stole their tank.

(then the same damn aliens enemy helicopter that shot up my ride blew up my tank. )

Are you playing the Enhanced Directors cut edition? Sure doesn't sound like it. Took me 78 hours to finish that game, a good time investment!

i knew you were going to reply on this one yeah, it's directors cut, and yeah i still don't regret investing all that time in it (think i'm at 60 hours now..) i'm just really frustrated because i know i'm going to have another try at it tonight...

is the swearing a reference to the swearing in game?

not really the dialogs are pretty cool though. there's lots of humor in the details...

Tourettes in forum post form.

I'm surprised you're having trouble with it. My experience with it was flawless, it was one of the most bug free experiences I've had with a game in a long time. The only real issue I had was framerate.

My God, Dead Space 2 is a beautiful game to behold, the art direction is fantastic, especially in the church... and features some of the best lighting effects I've ever seen. Visceral engine FTW!

I just stopped to play the game "A shadow's tale".

It's like ICO, but on Wii and some fight.

The player is a shadow who lost his body.

Fuckgrin fresh and cool gameplay.

I love it !

Started up Dragon Age II earlier. I'm about 2 hours in and not really sure what to make of it. It's Dragon Age... but.. not. It's a very different game from the original. Uglier, too.

Did you install the texture pack? I think the game looks pretty good except for the occasional scene like when they're sailing into Kirkwood between two extremely low poly cliffs that look like geometry from Unreal 1 from 12 years ago, on non-reflective water. When you're actually on foot in a place, it looks pretty good. In the "gallows" when I first looked up and saw the massive towers and decoration of the city? Damn. That's a nice skybox.

I have the pack, yeah. Pretty shit that PC users have to download a pack to make it look like a game that's from 2009. What's a bigger kick in the balls is the performance, it's pretty awful at times for no reason. Like cut-scenes tend to just stop then start again. Man, I was all over Dragon Age 1 like a god damn groupie. But this... nah. It's a good game but they've gone and fucked it in the ass too much for it to stand next to DA1.

I think one of the key things we're working on in Dragon Age II is the technology. I can confirm that we're doing a lot of work on the Dragon Age engine, and doing a lot of stuff to pump it -- to make it visually super hot.

The only thing they pumped is some guys ass.

I have never played any of the Dragon Age games but I enjoyed Mass Effect a lot. This is a disclaimer.

Yes I've been saying to my mates that it is just mass effect 2 with elves. Most disappointed.

And I'm loving it. I just got the elf mage in my squad, and have been wandering about Lowtown listening to my team talk to each other, having a good time.
