What's up with knives? Doesn't seem to work sometimes. I was standing over a guy (he was facing away from me, crouching) for 2-3 seconds (= eternity in an FPS) and constantly trying to knife him without any success. This has happened a few other times as well.

Is there no way to set video settings and keybindings outside a game? (like in battlelog) This is a very simple thing to get right, I cannot even begin to understand why anyone would limit this to in-game only.

How can I queue for servers on battlelog? Not possible? (it was in BC2).

questions/whine aside; i'm having fun with the game (mp). I love the tanks. I also love that apparently no one else likes driving them.

So I had a red phantom invade me the other night and he was invisible like a ghost. I couldnt target him and he one-shotted me with a giant sickle!

Is it possible to have ghost status? That seems a little rough, I'm gonna have to make sure I have transient curses on my quick items.

Ring of Fog and it's annoying as hell. It's being fixed next patch. You can't lock-on to players that are using it, so your best option is to either equip it yourself or just try to kill him without lock-on. Transient curse is only meant for new anor londo.

the area and level design is fucking incredible. wish there were behind the scenes-videos of the design process.

it must be something like building this. except much more difficult.

anyone tried or made something with the editor yet?

thoughts?

finished my first playthrough yesterday as a sorcerer. started a new character (knight) and i'm currently at duke's archives.

has anyone used the boss souls for anything useful? i've had them in my inventory for a while now, but I can't really find anything worthwhile to spend them on.

this is why you own a console.

i was already pretty hyped about this game, but... damn

interesting premise. not so interesting pilot (especially latter half).

Quote from FrieChamp

Completed my first run as a wizard.

It is very easy?!

which difficulty level was this? normal is supposed to be very easy.

Quote from arhurt

Guys from my very, very hardcore guild have all very good impressions of it. They can't talk about the beta

there is no NDA

isn't the former (diegetic narrative) a "real" term though?

still, i get your point about both being nonsense...

bale was completely unrecognizeable in the machinist (not just because of body weight, but also acting). I enjoyed both movies, but I would prefer american history x if I had to choose.

Quote from dux

I was thinking the same thing.

really? they're not ...state of the art, but they still look decent enough to me. especially considering how oblivion looked. What bothers me is the lack of real combat feedback, it's like the player is attacking a piece of metal sometimes. I also don't like that the player just stands there soaking up damage as if it's morrowind all over again. maybe i've been playing too much demon's souls lately.

what is so bad, specifically, that it warrants "worst animated game 2011"?

Quote from D3ads

Nice! Wish we knew more about what the campaign is about though

does it matter? if it's going to be like call of duty (which it is), then it shouldn't really matter what the campaign is about.

i sometimes wish they would just ditch campaign for "combat scenarios" or something so they would have a reason to go even more batshit with these missions. instead of attempting to tie everything together (and failing miserably), they could have standalone episodes with a new scenario each time without having to worry about "story" holding them back. then we also wouldn't have to endure the utter shit, cringe-inducing plot moments like the deer hunter-ripoff/"reference" in black cops.

i've found most of the cod campaigns entertaining, i'm just saying there's more potential here. we could have north-korea, china, russia and sweden all be antagonists for the price of one game. maybe an alternate universe scenario involving hitler and the third reich. modern nazis would be very cool.

then again, maybe the story-nonsense is part of the charm. maybe we enjoy seeing these writers struggle with the crumbs they are given.
