  1. Game News Arcania Delayed

    I played the full game as a tester and it is THAT shit. The RPGWatch review is spot on. Combat is wildly unbalanced. Melee is moderate difficult (until you learn how to trick the AI) on harder difficulties - for example rats can take you in two hits on Gothic difficulty. But it is rather...

  2. Should I remove a new PC from inventory for ArcAnIA?

    No. There are three types of quests: FEDEX quests, go and talk to someone, go and kill someone or something. You have to click continually while facing the enemy or enemies. You can attack fast with smaller hits or slower to land criticals. If the enemies are standing next to each other...

  3. Should I remove a new PC from inventory for ArcAnIA?

    Here is an update. I am done with 90% of the game, and here is my take on the performance: it has the same problems as NWN2 with shadows. It all shadow-related options are maxed out, the game produces 10-15 fps outdoors. Indoors is fine. (1600x1200, Core 2 Duo 3 Ghz, ATI 4870 512M, 4 GB RAM...

  4. Should I remove a new PC from inventory for ArcAnIA?

    I have the beta installed on my computer (I'm a localization tester). It runs perfectly on 1920x1200, with everything maxed out. My specs: Gigabyte EP35-DS3R, 3 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, ATI 4870 512M. I just started to play with it, so don't ask for impressions. The combat does have a...

  5. What is the better game MTW or M2TW?

    Ally backstabbing is handled by Stainless Steel 6.2 + Real Combat/Real Recruitment combination. Its default AI by TheSavage makes alliances permanent - your allies will never betray you.

  6. Tropico 3 is out

    I am testing the Hungarian version right now. Man, this gaem is easy as hell. Once you got the basics, it is nigh impossible to lose a mission. Looks nice and atmospheric though, but gets boring quickly due to the absolute lack of challenge.

  7. Let's play Medieval Total War 2 w/ Sicilian Vespers mod

    OK, here is some information on Stainless Steel 6.2 w/ RR/RC/CBUR etc. megamod. This consists of Stainless Steel 6.2 + Real Combat + Real Recruitment + a lot of other submods. Here are the main differences to vanilla: - a bitter world map extending to India, but no Americas. Much more...

  8. Let's play Medieval Total War 2 w/ Sicilian Vespers mod

    Have you tried SS 6.2 with the RR/RC megamod? It does make all factions really unique (and overall it is much harder). http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=197224 It does have some issues, but overall it is way better than plain SS.

    Sword Coast Stratagems for Baldur's Gate I (with Tutu): http://www.gibberlings3.net/scs/ Sword Coast Stratagems II for Baldur's Gate II: http://www.gibberlings3.net/scsii/ These mods mostly change the AI and makes enemies tougher without cheating. Does not change content really, just...

  13. Game News In 2008 his swords become sharper still!

    DU, you do have a valid point with the unnecessary hype and the GOTY trick companies pull. But, for me at least, The Witcher was fun to play. It had its flaws, but apparently these get fixed with EE. Validating companies that are at least striving to serve the customers and taking real...

  14. Review Mass Effect would have been better without the RPG elements

    No problem with this naming convention, but there is NOT ONE SINGLE unique item. That's my problem.

  15. Review Mass Effect would have been better without the RPG elements

    I am halfway through ME already. It is definitely NOT an excellent game. It is just a bit above average. Here is my view: 1- The article has a point concerning the RPG elements. The games looks like an interactive movie and all those so-called RPG elements are somehow do not really fit...
