So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Hmm wondering if I should play Dark Souls on Xbox360 or PC...

PC : graphics better ok. Xbox360 : couch, large screen.

As the game is recommended to be played with gamepad...which I dont really like...

Anyone played it through with mouse keyboard ?

Besides graphics PC has no other extra features right ?

#6408 posted by Killes on 2013/03/23 07:55:39

Nitin, Dark Souls is half price on Steam right now.

Mouse and Keyboard is very possible, i finished the game with it ( not started NewGame+ yet ).

You do need a mod to improve the mouse movement and some other things though : http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~petska/

The PC Version has the Artorias of the Abyss DLC ( new areas, enemies, bosses etc ) already included which i believe you have to buy separately on consoles.

Second Life Anyone?

Ever since I discovered this shared virtual world I've been into it like Dracula into a throat.

Sure, it hoovers up memory and the graphics are relatively pants compared with modern games, but the people and building tools are quite nice. Sometimes they're sane.

Mind you, I spend more time as a DJ on there than a builder. I've got a project on but the scripting is making me bonkers.

(Here's a pic demonstrating some old building I did a few months ago, as well as referencing the DJ business.)

And in an ironic twist, it turns out that Shambler is a legit viagra salesman.

Not Very Legit...

Fair Enough. Besides...

Dead Space 3

just finished this lengthy game (17 hrs). at first it was hard to get used to good old xenomorphs again, but after a while the game started to go smooth. very detailed and atmospheric levels, proper no less epic ending and of course curved corridors by metlslime.
recommending this game!

Oops

+ Ruined forgeworld background is good
+ All weapons useful, satisfying and characterful (apart from GL)
+ Bomb squigs very cute, Bloodletters very cool
+ Violence is great- lots of blood and flying bodies
+ Very true to 40k universe
+ Intense gameplay, requiring a good mix of aggression and caution.
+ Progress and missions pretty smooth and natural.

- Very clunky controls and running screenshake annoying.
- Utterly on-rails progress (it's like a FPS side-scroller as far as lack of interaction with the cool backgrounds)
- No interaction with anything nearby either.
- Graphics strictly previous generation and quite bland.
- Checkpoints often before cutscenes / a long way before tough fights
- Save points at boss battle so bad I didn't complete the game
- Voices boring and Ork voices grating.

Heh

I agree though Shambler. Amazing melee combat all the way through, but aside from that and the 40k licence its a pretty bland 3PS.

Someone Here Worked On It

I think. The core mechanics look excellent, I saw people running through it at the office.

Tempted to grab a copy, but only just freed myself from Shad'o (indie tower defence, looks like viva pinata, good overall, but then again I have no defence against TD).

...and finished Hotline Miami. At least, saw the credits once and played motorcycle guy's story. Now I just have a load of achievements to grind through.

But for now going to sip my triple distilled jamesons and read.

What was I talking about again?

we got an argument here at work regarding dead space, what engine it uses? some people say it uses frostbyte, is it so? i always thought it uses its own. please clear this super important matter :)

Vondur:

#6424 posted by metlslime on 2013/03/27 08:31:52

it does not use frostbite. It uses its own engine which Visceral developed over the years, and goes back at least as far as the first Godfather game.
