So I finished Divinity 2 Dragon Knight Saga () earlier today and I don't know if it's just coming off as something as soul crushingly generic as Gothic 4 but I really liked Divinity 2. I heard the first time round it was a little rough but they've went back over the game and aside from clipping outside the scenery twice I didn't hit a bug. The turning into a Dragon thing never really loses it novelty, and it has a surprisingly fresh take on western fantasy. It's far more about demonic stuff like Diablo than orcs and elves and benefits from it greatly. The ending of just Divinity 2 would of been such a fucking shit/brave (depending on your outlook) ending if the expansion didn't pick right up from it, but the expansion adds to the story nicely with a bit more of exploration of an area you only touch on in the main game. The combat is your usual 3rd person ARPG fair, but you've got a nice classless leveling system with plenty of scope to play how you want, there's a lot of customisation and exploration, it's just very, very european, so flat characters and fetch quests are the order of the day mostly, but you get enough breaks from that to smooth it over. But fuck me is it long, it must be at least 60 hours if you do even a portion of the side stuff, I finished it with stuff to do at any rate and I'm easily over 60 hours. Going to move on to AC:B tomorrow for a change of pace, I'm getting a bit RPGed out, and I've still got Two Worlds II and The River of Time to try. I might use Gray Matter as a buffer somewhere in there or I'll probably go mad.

Starting up NV right now

I hope you've finished all your exams.

You should at least try FO:NV, once it's fully patched up maybe, it's really great, even if you didn't like FO3 it's got a different tone and approach to FO.

Been playing through Super Meat Boy. I think it's safe to say the game is more of a test of your skills than it is fun. But damn does it bring satisfaction when you beat a challenging stage.

Bored of Reach already?

Spoiler

, You should play FO:NV.

I hate Europe' date=' I could be playing FO:NV by now, but no, we have to release games on Fridays for some stupid fucking reason.[/quote']

Well look at it this way, you've got Costume Quest on Wednesday.

You do have Costume Quest on Wednesday, right?

Nope, it's Thursday on both platforms here.

I hate Europe, I could be playing FO:NV by now, but no, we have to release games on Fridays for some stupid fucking reason.

Waiting for FO:NV to leak so passing the time with trying Blur and Split Second at last.

Did you keep playing Hot Sauce?

Nvm, didn't read the full post.

Gothic 4's ending took it from a 8 to a 7. I fucking hate endings like that.

i'd like to try this but i've never played a gothic game before.

That doesn't really matter, this isn't really a Gothic game.

It's not bad because of that, it's a solid RPG in most respect, if predictable and constricting in way that Gothic games weren't.

Gothic 4's ending took it from a 8 to a 7. I fucking hate endings like that.

About 12 hours in to Gothic 4. I'm a bit torn by the game tbh. It's a good, solid RPG but it's a bit generic and dull at times. It's nothing like the old Gothic games or Risen, but it's far more poilished and pretty than any Gothic has been at it's release. But it's a very middling game so far, not awful, but not great either.

The views are good though.

Thanks sweetness.

Gimme a link bitch.

Diablo II in 1680x1050

How does it look?

"Hydro" owning people ITT.

Fuck you and your children.

Installed my new HD5850, Crysis maxed out with 2xAA running at 60FPS on the GPU benchmark.

So i tried my 3rd clean install, seems to be working now. Fuck me does GTAIV benefit from 4 cores, can't wait till i get my 1 GB card back and i can really pump up the draw distance. BeastC gaming.

IN BIZARRO WORLD. Serious though, i have to get a PS3, it is getting ridiculous.

Werd, i'm just pissed i can't play GTAIV. :/

So with GFWL off my system, there's no more BSOD and i've been trying out Beat Hazard. It's pretty cool, but like Audiosurf, you need to pick the right song to get the most out of it. So far it's worked best with Doves and Flying Lotus.

So i just tried to play GTAIV, and GFWL's setup started causing BSOD's and 100% CPU usage.

The product GX-215-SP on RMA RMA184670 has been replaced, this will be sent on a new order with order number 3620407.

My new BeastC has went together well. Rolling with a i7 920 at 4Ghz with 6GB of ram. Waiting on my HD5850 get back from RMA then i'll be ready to melt faces.

So i've downloaded Crysis and Warhead off of Steam and i'm in the process of getting GTAIV to give this bitch a test.

Well i kept my old case and PSU, the HD5850 i purchased earlier in the year, so for a new Mobo, RAM and CPU +HSF it came to around £550.

Yeah, i bought it as a bundle and it was pre-OCed, so it was quite a steal.

When i get my HD5850 back i'll go Tupac on some games. Though i ran the Crysis Benchmark at Very High DX10 x2AA @ 1680-1050 and was getting ~40FPS with my old 4870, so i'm looking forward to getting my HD5850 back.
