Redface

I didn't like it at all. It was lagging everywhere, even in empty rooms, even on low detail (and I can run D3 on high settings and it also looks so much better). AI was mostly pre-scripted and didn't act any better than the AI in other shooters, at least not in this demo. The action was dull, shoot and cover, bullet time, shoot and cover etc. I guess I just got sick of the hype around this game.

You can finish the game in 10 hours if you skip most of the side quests and just follow the story. I completed about half of the quests and it took me about 20 hours. So it's not THAT short game.

I finished it a week ago and liked it. A lot. It has so many fresh and unique ideas, is very user friendly, has great atmosphere, nice visuals and the gameplay is smooth and fun. It just has certain something that grabs you and won't let go for a few days. On the other side, as oDDity posted it's too easy, too childish, too arcade-ish and can get boring halfway through (especially if you try to do all the quests - don't do that, just try to follow the main story or you'll get super-bored soon). Also, the main story is a one big cliche. Still, my score would be 8.5 / 10.

DS 1 was boring as hell and I expected the same from DS2. Looks like I was right - that game is a complete waste of time. Just like Diablo 1,2 and Sacred were. Too bad Black Isle are no more :-(

If you just copied a photo, then it's fairly good. If you created it completely by yourself, then it's excellent.

Anyone playing or planning to play Guild Wars ?

I have headaches quite often and mostly use ibuprofen too. The bad thing is that while it is effective, it damages stomach...

Congrats Macsen I got my final exams yesterday (and it was shite too) and now I'm officially a Bachelor of Science (is this the right term ?). I will continue 2 more years though.

I don't think Sapphire Scar will make it They seem to have some serious trouble and changing leaders is a bad sign.

Amazing stuff. What software do you use, if I may ask ?

And then go play Planescape Torment.

Well, slovakia would be in top 5 probably too.

Yea, that's one of the meanings :lol: This word is as often used as f*ck is used in english.

Stravenka is a slovakian word and means "meal ticket". The rest certainly isn't slovakian nor czech and to me it looks like it has no meaning at all.

Yeah, the first few hours were quite painful, I almost gave up on the game. Then it started to get better and better..

Holy cow ! Looks like it's going to be a competition between Oblivion and Gothic 3.

Happy birthday Mac. And you are 23, right ?

Well, you could just try a search at hotscripts.com and do it yourself. It shouldn't be harder than uploading the scripts and changing a few settings.

I think I´m going to buy the game just to see this in action actually I planned to buy that damned game for a year now. screw it.

Guess I´m the only one who doesn´t really like the new site (the technical part of it, to be precise). Of course it´s better than the old site, but still not as good as could have been.

Hmm, I have mixed feelings about this. It doesn´t look THAT much better than the old version and loads a bit slower IMO. Some little nitpics... - the rollover buttons are not loading when the page is loading, but at a mouse over (might be my fault though) - the page doesn´t fit 800x600 screen res - why frames (if they don´t show up, why having them ? it´s a bad thing for search engines), why PHP ? - doesn´t have any metaproperties like keywords etc.

Looks very good already! Must have been a real pain in the a$$ going through all the css and setting colors n stuff.

Is the Haunted mod still in the works ? I couldn´t find it´s site anymore... it´s not at hl2files.

I´m not sure if I would be happy working on textures only, but if it´s (or will be) more than that, sure. I have to learn it sometimes anyways, it´s a part of 2d artists job (btw I´m aiming for Illusion Softworks or Cauldron , and they´ve got some tough conditions).

Sure, playing with filters, adding noise, new layers, editing contrast/brightness, painting over... no problems. It would be really the best if you gave me some tasks, like turning a photo to texture or making a concept for something (you certainly don´t have concepts for everything, do you ?? ).
