Hello Run

I suck at it, though the visuals are quite nice... 

 

A Dark Souls 2 preview is hinting that the developer may have returned to Demon's Soul's gameplay mechanics! :P

According to the developers, playing as undead/hollow is no longer as beneficial as it was before. Other players can now invade your game when you're undead/hollow where they couldn't in the previous game. Consecutive deaths also lead to a penalty of decreased max HP with a penalty of up to 50% of your original HP.

I always thought the low HP was a good mechanic of the original and I was disappointed when it was removed from Dark Souls. 

game seems to have mouse sensitivity so low as to be unusable :( 

You need a quite powerful machine to run this:) 

Running it isn't an issue, the controls are just broken :( 

by unplugging the mouse..

I blame slow internet connection for this. 

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dishonored

Haven't done much of anything the last couple of months except play these two games. Dishonored is absolutely beautifully done. You can play both these games stealthily, and I'd never played that style before and it sort of hooked me. I actually played through Dishonored a second time just to get the Clean Hands and Ghost achievements. Then I played all the DLC for both games. I guess I'm done for now, maybe I can get back to Quake mapping. 

and have yet to play!... 

Also really enjoyed Metro Last Light recently. Gameplay is good fun and atmosphere and graphics and details are top notch.

Part way through Crysis 3, really liking it. Same old gameplay but much more interesting settings than C2, ruined city is stunning. Also Psycho is pretty funny. 

Played and reviewed a couple 2009 games -

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (8/10) http://www.etherealhell.com/etherealhell/reviews/2013/call_of_juarez_bound_in_blood.php

and Mini Ninjas (6.5/10) http://www.etherealhell.com/etherealhell/reviews/2013/mini_ninjas.php

Mini Ninjas is probably a little bit overrated, but them I'm not a 10yo so it's probably not intended for me, but COJ was actually really good, much better than the first game.

nice, Quake Injector for indie games. 

That's cool. I've been kind of interested in checking out indie games but it's difficult to find quality stuff that's also is in a genre I like. 

anyone here a fan of the x games? currently downloading albion prelude from steam... i remember not really liking the flying and combat in x2, but the sandbox aspects of it were a lot of fun. 

Just reading Konas review of Necrovision. Did not know it went past WW1 setting into demonic, neat I was enjoying it, should still have saves and all.

BTW Kona the review link is wrong, it links to Call of Duty review. Got to the review by manually inputting ..../necrovision.php 

I guess I'm in a similar boat. I love the idea of the X series but whenever I download and give it another shot the snails pace of progression at the start and the absolutely horrid, convoluted and non user friendly ui makes me delete it again :P

If it was easier to get into then I would probably give it a go, but the learning curve is just too much for me I guess. I loved Freelancer because it gave me the same feeling of the X series but it was much, much simpler. 

I never played any of this series. I seem to remember having trouble getting the BioShock demo to run. That plus GFWL and DRM, and I just gave up.

There's a 2K games special on Steam this weekend. BioShock 1 and 2 for $4.99 each, Infinite for $13.59

Worth it? 

Next question?
