No I agree completely with the player navigation. I got stuck for 20 minutes right at the beginning of the game as I couldn't work out how to turn on the power. Even though I had turned on a power generator? Turned out I had to log into a console and turn it on?! I've missed lots of obvious things too because of how dark it gets. Still enjoying, though!

So I had my interview with the school in Vancouver (Richmond actually) last night. At the end of it, they said that they'll recommend me for the study program and basically that I'll receive the official letter of acceptance later this week.

Yeah liam. I stared at that picture for a good 5 minutes and could see fuck all difference.

2006 called and said WTF isn't that finished yet

Rick is the postman, just different name.

That's cool but what I really hate these days is cards being better for certain games than others. Just make them all run the same ffs.

I love how all you hard men are calling me a wuss but I don't see any of you being ballsy enough to post up any of your playtime with voiceover

You'd of thought finishing Amensia would of prepared me better for this

Mazy is like the old Grandad of Mapcore now. Sitting in his swivel rocking chair that somehow also has wheels, reminiscing about bsp and vis. "Back in my day you could make a single player mod over a weekend! Now it takes years to make anything! All this thong mapping and bump nipples is just a load of rubbish that kids love to fawn over. I could load up Photoshop 6 back then and make a texture set in 5 minutes for the map! Now I need 20 different programs and 70 different methods just to make a chair!"

Annnyyyyyyyyway.

I joined 10 years ago ...holy crap! after finding the Rust forums a bit dull and upon seeing so many "big name" Half-Life community mappers on here I was like I need dis. Then this HP guy joined and ruined it for everyone

I suck. I guess the black borders are me having a 16:10 screen. Oh well

I've got more videos of me shitting my pants in the Medical Labs if anyones interested in watching them? If they are I'll do more of my whole playthrough I recorded these properly on Dxtory in 1080p.

Fucking ass balls.

There we go. I fucking suck with controllers

we'll I must say, after hiding in lockers for about 12 hrs I've finally hit my shelf moment. I was walking around and a wall decided to just explode on me and end my playthrough.

I get they were going for the whole "constant paranoia" thing, but it really gets to be too much and prevented me from fully enjoying the game. I'll finish plaything this game on youtube.

The art is what really kept me coming back, so congrats to all the art dudes that made this game super uber sexy.

What I look forward to is day9 playing this on Halloween hopefully. His Amnesia play-through was great.

I can imagine big man knj screaming like a little bitch and hiding behind the sofa

Ok so here's my opinion of the game after 19 hours of playtime. Still in the first area:

The good:

Looks awesome

A very good port (For these days at least)

Excellent animations

Fun gameplay

Lots of lore to read

Satisfying killing stuff in combo finishers

Riding a Caragor is immense fun

Watching the AI fight eachother is a flashback to the Half-Life days, love it

A fun stealth system

The bow makes me feel like Legolas

The nemesis system is good I like it

Good music

I like the weapon runes and issuing a death threat to a big boss can give you a chance of having an epic drop

Great sounds

Lots of mini missions and other stuff to keep me busy

The kind of sort of bad:

Seems overly violent for Middle Earth. If you've read Tolkiens works then you are bound to be a bit taken aback by it

The controls can be rather unresponsive and have gotten me killed or unnecessarily spotted during stealth (climbing a wall and my guy starts climbing the wrong way and gets me spotted)

I haven't needed to gather intel on my enemies weakness for the most part, only Warchiefs

The intro was over far too quickly and dumped me into the game where I had no idea what just happened

The ability unlocks make you pretty damn OP later on in the game. The only way you're ever really going to die is from the controls not responding to what you want (As mentioned)

Doesn't really *feel* like Middle Earth for me. But that's just me. Like I said, it's probably the ultra violence that does it.

I've gotten trapped into a corner several times and other times whilst surrounded by orcs and unable to get out. Literally stuck and die

Poison arrows can suck my balls
