It was damn near broken before the field of view fixes. Why they didn't fix that shit before the game came out just blows my mind.

Thanks for the heads up, I will give it another go. Happy

RE6 better than Re5 edge, this place is going insane. Did I see some posts back that Aspro said Driveclub has meh graphics? Did Aspro call Bayonetta trash? I Feel like I am taking crazy pills!

Yeah, and a little further back someone said Diablo 3 sucked and that the Witcher 2 wasn't great. The place is insane.

I just bought a bigger hard drive for my 360 not long ago. 500gb. The 250 gig in my Halo Reach 360 just didn't cut it anymore.

Diablo 3 isn't for me, I can see people love it. Witcher 2 though, I mean come on now, it's good that's it. Witcher 3 will blow it sonar out of the water you guys would need to give it 11s to make up the difference in quality between them.

RE6 mechanics are better but the game is a mess. One moment there is a good shooting segment, the next you are playing a driving segment that looks like a DC game. RE5 is RE4 lite, the combat situations, boss battles, level design, enemy design, pacing, all better than RE6.

Look at the AC China score, Videogamer just 6/10-ed it and Famitsu rate it as equal to XCX.

witcher 3 details!! Penis details!

  • The damage made to Geralt’s face when he’s intoxicated by his potion is actually displayed in cutscenes. White Honey cures it.
  • There are very very few fetch quests in the game. The team doesn’t particularly like them. Those that are there spend time developing the character that gives the quest. For instance there’s one in which you have to go from point to point with a character, and while you do he tells you in depth about him. That can influence the choice at the end of the quest.
  • Monsters can attack you while you’re meditating.
  • The AI of normal animals like sheeps and goats is pretty basic. It will tell them that there’s a bush that they might like within their radius, so they’ll go eat it. The same goes for animals or entities they’re scared of, causing them to run away.
  • If you kill that goat, it’s gonna produce a smell, and monsters may be attracted to it if there’s one that likes that kind of meat in the radius. If no one eats it and the corpse rots, a different kind of monster that eats rotten meat will be attracted.
  • If there are deers in an area wolves will hunt them, but if you kill all the deers you may see some wolves patrolling, but there will be less because there’s less game.
  • The reason why ice skating was removed from the game (very few things have been actually cut) is because creating a big fight based on a completely different set of mechanics that haven’t been explained or used before and that the players didn’t have the opportunity to master is a bad idea, as it gets people killed too easily and frustrated.
  • In some cases when you kill the monsters in an area, humans will settle it. In the prologue there’s actually a cutscene that shows is as it happens so that the players understand the mechanic. It’s not always so simple, and there are different states. Whenever you go into an area the game will check what you have and what you haven’t done, who you helped, who you killed, the decisions you made during quests and dialogue. That can change a lot of things, including the people that spawn in a village. The mechanic is simple, but it can get complex because of all the branching.
  • Monsters don’t scale with your level. If you’re way underleveled compared to a monster, you’ll do almost no damage.
  • The level of an enemy is displayed, but is its level is indicated by a skull you better stay away, because it’s way too strong for you, and it might even oneshot you.
  • The bestiary populates itself as you learn information and eventually it tells you where a monsterlives, at what times of day it appears, what it’s vulnerable to.
  • Gear has been moved around very recently to re-balance it.
  • You won’t find items you can’t use because you’re too low level. They will automatically scale down to your level if they’re too high for you. For instance the damage of a weapon will be lower, even if they will keep their “cool” elements like setting elements on fire for instance. Once you pick up an item, its stats are set, so it won’t scale back up to its original stats. That said, you’ll always get better loot as you move forward anyway. There’s no need to wait to be the right level before you get an item.
  • You can use Axii on your horse to force him not to panic during combat. Quen can be changed from defensive to offensive, and it can explode and damage enemies when it’s penetrated.
  • There was a big conversation within the team on whether Geralt could be fully nude or not. The conversation also involved the extra polygons that would be used for his penis and who would animate it while running. On the other side, others believed that there was a lot of female nudity in the game, so there should be male nudity as well. The result is that there’s a lot more male nudity than in previous games, but Geralt still normally wears his underwear.
  • The Gwent minigame was designed to last ten minutes tops for each match. You can win money, new cards, enter a torunament with all the best Gwent players. There are even quests linked to the game.

I think it may be related to the 50 page XCX special they just released.

I promised some Affordable Space Adventures impressions, so here it goes:

It's basically a 2D puzzler with 2 types of obstacles.  Either you have to figure out how to pass by a turret that will open fire if it detects you, or you have to switch off lasers or block off the lasers themselves.  The first resolves around tinkering with your onboard systems untill you manage to get parameters for your sound and heat output as well as your electromagnetic field below a certain treshold, while still remaining sufficiently manouvrable to pass by the turret.  The second type either requires you to push a button that turns off some lasers, or you'll need to find some crate you can drag below your craft to deflect the lasers.  I'm currently about two thirds into the game.

The puzzles in the first third were very easy, with the second third requiring some thought and showing more variety than I figured would be possible with the rather limited gameplay possibilities at hand.

Sound design is good, although some more variety would be nice.  You'll be blowing yourself up a lot and a few different sound effects for variety's sake would have been nice.  But there's a lot of nice blips and bloops, fizzes and screeches at hand to keep things comfortably unsettling.  There's no actual music to speak of, but there's no lack of atmosphere because of it.

Graphics are very nice, although forgetable.  There's a lot of nice use of fog and light and shadow, with the only light source often being your own torch.

Humour is abundant as well, although mostly reserved for loadscreens.  It's hard not to smile when you see stuff like this

zlCfzTOx48EOkVWV5b

The whole 'space travel agency' thing is very well done.  The 4th wall is never broken and the ruthless cheeriness found in every message that pops up to inform you about how safe space travel is, and how you're going to love your stay still manages to bring a smile to my face.

Which then only leaves the Gamepad implementation to talk about.  It's certainly nice to play a game that makes such good use of everything it's capable of.  Sometimes it's a bit fiddly when you have to adapt a lot of your systems on the fly while keeping an eye on the telly, but you can argue that that's just part of the experience.

Is it worth the €20 they're asking for it?  I'd recommend it at €15.  €20 is a bit steep in my opinion, but then again it is a unique experience that you can't get anywhere else, so maybe it is worth it after all.
