Play Path of Exile's Open Beta on Jan 23.
Path of Exile will enter Open Beta on January 23, 2013. This is also when the last ever character wipe occurs! Path of Exile is an online Action RPG being developed by Grinding Gear Games in New Zealand. Created by a group of hardcore gamers, Path of Exile was designed with an emphasis on character customisation, a strong item economy and deep game systems. View the new trailer here! ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDFO4E5OKSE ) The Open Beta version of the game (patch 0.10.0) introduces hundreds of changes including Path of Exile's third act - the City of Sarn. Act III includes 8 new tilesets, 18 completely new monster types and over 90 monster variations. When the Open Beta starts, all characters will be reverted back to level 1 so that it's a fresh playing field. After that point, we will never wipe characters or items again. In April 2012 we launched a crowdfunding campaign on our website where users can purchase Supporter Packs with prices ranging from $10 to $1000. So far the community has contributed US$2.2m to the development of the game. This support has allowed us to grow our team and to polish Act III to a level we are very proud of. Thank you so much for the generous support! We'd love to encourage you to join us for the Open Beta of Path of Exile. You've already got an account (the email address is the one that this email was sent to), so just download the game client from www.pathofexile.com and join us on January 23! Last chance to buy Kiwi Supporter Packs. The Closed Beta "Kiwi" packs are only available for a few more days! If you'd like to receive an exclusive Kiwi bird pet, a Closed Beta supporter forum title or the best value option for designing a custom Unique Item, now is your last chance! We're changing how our supporter packs work once we enter Open Beta, and the existing ones are only available until then. We've put together a YouTube video explaining what each pack entitles you to. We'd like to thank our community for their continued support - it's helping us grow Path of Exile into the game we've always wanted to play ourselves. What is exciting to look forward to?? Preferably in the FPS/3PS/RPG/RTS genres...
Crysis 3 (?) Bioshock Infinite SC2: Heart Of The Swarm Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC Dishonoured: unnamed DLCs Dead Space 3 Tomb Raider reboot??? Googling reveals a lot of turd and not that many others?? I played the last Tomb Raider game and was very pleasantly surprised. It was one of the few games which I finished, and it was great fun. So I'm most excited about the new Tomb Raider game.
Real-world warfare games don't count i.e. the glut of Modern Shitefuck: Bolloxfield 4 etc etc....except since COH is RTS then that's fine. I did try the original COH and it seemed okay but I doubt it will drag me away from HOTS...
Old school RPG, fantasy, easy controls, ability to pause anytime during combat and issue orders by pressing Space (BG style):
Drakensang: The Dark Eye. Great game IMO, more fairytale like than grimey and dirty, but well made. Don't confuse with Drakensang Online which is a MMO. The original Drakensang is a singleplayer RPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate, only in 3D. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (not technically a Tomb Raider title, more a sort of isometric puzzle offshoot that generally got relatively good marks). Both of those have demos. Also coming: Amnesia - A Machine for Pigs, Aliens- Colonial Marines (probably best not to expect much), GTA 5
Aliens : CM
Survarium Metro : last light Bioshock Infinite Batman Arkham xxx (whatever it will be) Half-L.. oh who am I kidding. Aliens:CM will probably end up being very disappointing for me because it looks like a very standard CoD style fps set in the Aliens universe rather than a tactical squad based based fps. We will see I guess. The "press X to survive alien attack" bullshit can fuck right off... meh. Survarium and Metro are obvious choices. More tasty post-disaster soviet wastelands to explore :) Metro 2033 had its share of issues but it was one hell of an atmospheric game. Bioshock infinite just looks fun. The combat reminds me of quake quite a lot. Lots of fast movement and broad range of weapons. I'm hoping for a new Batman game, Arkham city was excellent however I think I enjoyed Asylum slightly more. Hard to say why, probably a better story in the 2nd half. Half-Li...hahahahahahahah yeah right. ...it looked like ass in the trailer.
Ooooh Metro looked cool in the trailer I saw and 2033 sounded pretty good, nice choice. Totally reminds me of Quake. It's like Q1.5 almost. I hope Irrational got clearance from iD or have a good anti-plagarism lawyer.
DAFUK??? Forgot about that...
This looks to be right up your alley Shambler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqInYNEfV3E "We're not just fighting for the human race, we're fighting for the title of baddest motherfuckers in the galaxy - that's a fight I intend to win"
The writers probably take Starship Troopers and the Colbert report at face value. is it just me or do the graphics look pretty dated in that video? it looks a lot like chronicles of riddick.
Thanks for the recommendations. Played 6 hours or so of Torchlight 2 on various train journeys this weekend, definitely helped to pass the time. The style of the game definitely suits the laptop (even though I had to turn graphics settings down and my craptop doesn't allow anti-aliasing on it JAGGY YUCK), lots of dicking around with inventories, simple left and right clicking (my tiny mouse is a bit annoying tho), and classicly addictive time-sink RPG bollox. As far as the game goes, it's nothing special, mostly standard stuff (although as an Engineer with a fucking big cannon and a pet bulldog, it does have some character), but good at what it does, and pretty much exactly the sort of thing I was after (albeit a bit cartoony).
Yeah I thought the graphics looked a bit dated as well. Could be just the low quality trailer and the fact the whole thing is fast paced action scenes. Show some motherfucker scenery from the planet. It better not be all steel corridors.
Gearbox though, so must be good. it looks like i have five copies of dota 2 to give away, if anyone wants a copy post here, etc etc.
Like typical xbox stuff. The graphics are a bit dated, but more than that the animation looks pretty crude..
The aliens in the films move like lightning fast mercury, here they look more like stop motion. The marines as well look pretty wooden. The formula for the gameplay has been done quite a bit, (in the same series, and by others like Natural Selection)so should be pretty solid.
