  • The Evil Within (Project Zwei)

    Ok, I played the first chapter but found it to be very confusing. Like, you are limping due to an injury to your leg and all of a sudden you are running again? I didn't touch it since. This week I've decided to give it another go. I started over but apparently there's no explanation for the part above. In fact, it's better not to think too much about what's going on. The dialog is hilarious btw. I walk into a room, filled with bodies and blood and he simply says:"There's something wrong with this place". No shit...


    Having said that, the game pick ups in Chapter 2 (I'm now in Chapter 5) and it get's really good. I love the combat, atmosphere and so on. Really immersive and some impressive scary moments (that spider thingie, wtf). Can't wait to play again.

    Yep it sucks man! Me and Emma split it between us so it's like £725 each. It's awesome living in london but that price is insane! I think we pay £1450 or something actually, but it doesnt really matter!


    That's almost 2000 euros a month! That's 4 times my monthly mortgage. Fucking insane bro. Please tell me that it at least comes with water/gas/electricity/insurance/etc included?

    Family pressuring me into looking at buying a house. I made a thread on this a while ago and I'm just not interested in it. I'm happy renting. "But you could rent the house!" I don't bloody want to. I'm content with what I have and spending my spare money on my hobbies like my car and computer. I still put away at least 20-40% of my pay cheque into my savings anyway.


    You don't strike me as the kinda guy who gets pressured into things so why start now?


    Quote from Vilham


    In addition, real estate isn't always the "awesome deal" people think it is. Part of the increasing value is just inflation, not real value increase. People just think in pure numbers and think about what they paid for a place (which is usually way back when).


    Financially no matter how you look at it, home ownership is more profitable than renting. Even if the market collapses and your house value halves, that is still money. Renting earns you nothing and forces you to pay more. If I wasn't moving around for jobs I would 100% be buying.


    Sorry dude, but that's just bullshit. Example, I've bought something for 130K. I pay 500 mortgage each month. I live there for, let's say, a decade and now I want to sell. Nobody wants to buy, even for 85K. A miracle happens and I manage to sell it for 80K. That's a 50K loss plus 10 years times 6000 mortgage a year is 60K. You have many different kind of mortgages. So let's assume with this one you've paid 30K on the interest and the rest is reduced from the actual mortgage. So a 130K mortgage, leaves 100K which is sold for 80K leaving a 20K debt plus 30K in interest leaving you with 50K expenses. I could have rented the same place for 500 a month, costing me 60K in 10 years. So yes, renting is more expensive but has far more benefits and it doesn't leave you with a 20K debt at the end of the road. I agree with your reasoning and I understand your motivations I just disagree with it always being more profitable. Because with buying, you have been throwing that money away as well.

    CdProject aren't Ubi scrubs.


    I know, they are one of the best 'fan service' developers out there. It was just in reply to Chris that even though it makes zero sense, publishers still do it.

  • Table Top Gaming

    Quote from Puddy

    I love 40k and played it a few years back. Still have a box in my closet with the entire army. Anyone else that used to be into this? I.e. the 40k main game. Table top gaming can be really nice, I only wish 40k was more streamlined, balanced and less time consuming. Found some old pics in my backup folder, click spoiler for 100% nerdiness.


    That's awesome dude. Imperial Guard for the win! Did you paint those yourself? That's like next level shit man. Seriously, respect. I think it's amazing how some guys can paint. You don't even have to play, just collect these pieces of art

  • Table Top Gaming

    I've got a lot of hobbies and interests. One of them is table top gaming. Recently, my friends and I, rebooted this hobby. We have 2 groups. The first group, hosted by me, plays Heroquest and the second group, hosted by a friend, plays Warhammer Quest. I of course, play both. Since we're having so much fun I've expanded this into the Warhammer 40K universe by buying the Dutch version of Space Crusade (original English version is too expensive) and Space Hulk. So hopefully I can add a 3rd group to our monthly roster soon. To top that of, I just backed the Conan Kickstarter so that will be coming in October this year as well. I figured there must some table top gamers on the Core so why not create a thread to talk about it?
