That daily game progress thread...

[zebra 204]

The crashes in Sacred 2 are pretty rare these days, but some (SOME) like me have area of the game that crash, for instance i don't get crashes anywhere except in the underground volcano area. There it crashes often, but is still playable so as to get out of there quick.

This is where I am right now. The weakest part of the game, imo. Just soooo uninteresting and boring and takes forever to get through it. On some occasions a bug will let me ride my mount in the dungeon but only until I come across another cave entrance then the mount becomes impossible to mount again without restarting the game or until you completely leave the dungeon.

I'm now lvl55 and finally with a full set of Armantin armor ( http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php5/Sacred_2:Armantin%27s_Legacy )

[theshadowcult]

Seriously, that's short for a full set of "Set" items... i'm like lvl 100 and i have 3 partial sets for one class and about 4 partial sets for other classes

I just finished Trine, the whole game was really fun. The ending was disappointing though, I expected the storyline to go somewhere, but I guess they didn't have the budget for that, or something.

Good game though, 8.5/10

Edit: A 9 with 3D vision.

Bah, 3d vision eh? I tried it once for a couple of hours and it wasn't that great, and I was really disappointed after all of your raving about 3d stereo. It's just a stupid gimmick really and it gives me headaches and makes my eyes bleed (also anal fissures, though I'm not sure how) Also, my mistress saw me wearing the glasses and assumed I was a huge loser and left me after telling my wife all about us. I'm sure after there is a glasses-less solution it will be magically amazing for some reason or something.

I like the transition in your paragraph, in case sarcasm is hard to get.

You nailed the stereotypes of the naysayers. 10/10, would read again!

I can do it in reverse, 3D is teh most uber leet awesomness to ever exist, if you dont have it you dont get the same level of enjoyment out of games as me, for real!1!11!!1!1!! it was an 8 but now its a 9!!. it also walks my dog, does my dishes and keeps me warm on cold lonely nights.

Man that last frickin' boss in RE5 just doesn't die. I am at the volcano part of the last boss and I keep getting owned. I also don't get a prompt to jump over a rock. That is so damn annoying.

Aargh!

Game was fantastic though. Loved it so much and didn't expect it at all. RE5 is a must play for any Capcom fans. I am also planning on getting RE4 also. Will dig up the thread that has all the awesome sauce to make it user friendly on PC.

Also pumping some Mafia 2 time and again. Not much fun that one...

[ScottDoom]

There's a trick to beating the last boss. You have to go up behind him and do somethin'.

I played the entire game in coop split-screen when my friend came up and visited. It was awesome. I'm not a big fan of RE games at all, but I liked it a lot.

Noob, read the instructions and look at the clues.

Yeah finished RE5. Amazing game and totally worth the 10 smokes I paid for it...

Achieved lvl 15 in Sacred 2. Getting fed up with bronze, will advance to silver...

Achieved lvl 15 in Sacred 2. Getting fed up with bronze, will advance to silver...

Silver is too easy as well.Could barely tell the difference between the two. Maybe effects enemies max lvl, dunno. Its not until you start getting much farther and much "stronger" that it gets a bit more "difficult". But this is just because of the auto-leveling.


I only died once and it was from a complete crap reason. Didn't know the game didn't pause unless you press P.

[Danny Nissan]

Just compleated the ballad of gay tony Hahaha what a great game, recommend it to anyone xD

I don't remember what the difference with the harder difficulties are, but the only difference between bronze and silver is enemy level cap, as in the enemies stop lvling with you in bronze after a while, but in silver the level cap is twice as high.

[KAC]

Shot my way through Episode 3 and half of Episode 4 in Alan Wake
Punched a few retards in God of War 2
Kicked some major ass in Mafia 2 and reached chapter 12 (got my house burnt)
Saved some random dude from a casino in Just Cause 2

Must finish Mafia 2, God of War 2 and Alan Wake soon...

[t0adp1p3]

On the 3rd act of the witcher and losing the will to go on. Too much crap like picking plants, fetching stuff, wondering if the inn will be demolished and lose everything I have stored in it, boring combat, etc.. Don't really understand all the hype from this game. And yes, I am using potions changing stances etc, even though it seems I don't really need to cuz everything dies so easily anyway. Does it get harder in this chapter? And what is with the loot? holy hell if I see one more useless flint, dagger, sword etc.. I am gonna puke. You can't even put the daggers and swords in your inventory to sell later, so what is the point of having so many crappy swords and daggers drop?

I am beginning to think all the hype was mouth breathers getting to see boobs and sex in a video game.

[A2597]

Not everyones RPG then I guess...I loved it, and can't wait for the 2nd!
I'd definatly say continue on.

[spindoctor]

played the first couple of chapters of mafia last night. also fired up mount and blade warband for some mp action, but got my ass handed to me royally

What difficulty? Sounds like you could use a substantially higher one. Alchemy and careful battle planning were absolutely required for me to win many fights.

[GanjaStar]

starting gothic 1, since nvidia finally fixed rendering in those games

[Progression]

Going through Dead Space, excellent game but I am not finding it scary anymore, after playing for 1 hour.

[noko]

Playing WarHead on Ethusiast settings and amazed at the difference, really AWESOME rendering and having more fun in this game then any other this year. Now I hope the ending is not a down hill spiral like Crysis was (let down). Anyways made it out of the mines.

[RAY16]

Just ran through HL2: Episode One to collect the achievements. Hadn't played it in a while so it was also a nice opportunity to refresh my memory of that particular part in the HL2 time line.

[KAC]

Does HL2 also have achievements now?

[RAY16]

Yeah, ran through that last month to get its achievements. Game cheated me out of the one for surviving the second turret standoff in Nova Prospekt, despite it being one you're not supposed to be able to miss...

I'll have to replay Nova Prospekt at some point to see if I can get it to give it to me.

It's more like a campaign in a call of duty game (but with aliens) then the Crysis story. Though i am one of the few who actually like crysis all the way through.

Hmm, maybe its time to replay these games and see wtf the fuss was about. I remember punching through HL2 + expansions in under 8 hours so it should be fine I guess...

[spindoctor]

reached chapter 10 in mafia 2. had to stop myself from playing it else i would have probably gone on to finish it in a single sitting.

[KAC]

Punched through 3 missions in Halo Reach

[sittal]

formatted, downloading all my steam games, installing sacred 2 because people seem to love it.

[spindoctor]

did 4 more missions of mafia 2. just a couple left to go.

[pahncrd]

Gotta make yourself receptive. Make sure it is dark, make sure you are using headphones and you should probably watch Event Horizon before playing if that's what it takes. The sound in Dead Space is pretty amazing and headphones are the way to go to catch all of the ambient going ons.

It is no fun to play a horror game while not being scared. Usually I won't play a horror game unless I am thoroughly in the mood to be frightened and weirded out. Part of the reason I have been putting off Amnesia.

Playing on normal, figured since I have never played the game that is where is should start.

I am kind of puzzled by this, and I wonder if I am just getting items too fast because I am farming flowers and making money and buying the good equipment too early? Already got the 5000g chest piece and the blue and red swords. I just checked, you can't switch difficulty mid game, and i don't have the heart to start all over again, so I guess I am stuck. I am definitely not "SUPER GAMER" guy, and I find myself often overwhelmed and lost in these RPG's not by the fights, but by the areas themselves, so they take me forever. I think thats why i liked games liek icewind dale, it was just basically follow this map, you can't get lost and at the end is a dungeoun where you will kill ****, when you are done come back here and get your reward. Now it's like go talk to steve in the trade quarter for him to forge a spoon , then go talk to bob at the wizards inn in ladonia for the ladle, collect 7 silver orbs scattered across the land, mix them in a pot located in the sherwood forest, slay the dragon that appears, watch a cutscene and when it ends the town you started in will be destroyed along with all your loot you had stored there. That is not fun.

Tastes vary, and not everything appeals to everyone. Doesn't make people with differing tastes mouth breathers necessarily.

Have you played NWN 2 and Dragon Age? Those sound like they might be more up your alley if you haven't played them yet.

[t0adp1p3]

I finished dragon age and it's expansion on nightmare a week or so ago. They were ok, kinda generic. I tried NWN2 and couldn't get past how ****ty that camera was. I think i just need to give the witcher a break for a week or so and come back to it, I will admit it's story is better than most.


I tell ya, i really enjoyed the mass effects enjoyed the **** out of those, actually. I never played KOTOR, so i just bought that for $3 on steam gonna give that a try, my son loved it.

Problem is I am stuck in an apartment out of town mon-fri and go home on weekends to spend time at my house with my wife and kids. So I am trying to play some games to stay entertained and out of bars. Been doin this for 5 years now with varying results lol.

Dude, NWN2 is awesome, if you can in anyway get over the camera issues, it is not to be missed. Also, the first expansion is the awesome also.

[t0adp1p3]

any mods to get the camera more like it is in dragon age or the witcher? same engine aint it
