Stop, Nepsotic.

I know you're being facetious but Officer Tenpenny and Big Smoke were awesome characters.

SanAn had some seriously screwy missions.

Dynamithix 11-09-2012 02:29 PM

Everyone's always complaining about that train mission but I never had any problems with it. It's not that hard.

Mr. Bungle 11-09-2012 02:30 PM

Agreed. I never could finish it. I would love for them to remake or rerelease it with improved graphics, though.

Anyways, I'm still looking forward to GTA V but the idea of having 3 protaganists strikes me as quite odd. GTA games were always about one man arriving in a new town, getting caught up in the illicit activity and his descent into depravity. I don't know how they'll be able to pull this off with three characters. Maybe if they had three seperate but interweaving storylines, this could work. But judging by the little information presented on those characters backstories, I don't know if it really will; I mean, they're pretty much all criminals already.

EDIT: Agreed with WoF. That mission is really screwy.

Never had problems too and I've played that game some times by now...

Tommy still is the best GTA character. And Vice City is the best GTA for me. But I guess I'm too biased, since I love Scarface and Carlito's Way.

Talking about screwy missions, the airplane training ones were god awful and fucking hard.

Nepsotic 11-10-2012 01:11 AM

I could never fly them fuckers.

God Yes

The RC missions were pretty awful too.

Dynamithix 11-10-2012 10:16 AM

Weren't those optional though? If you mean the Zero missions.

You sure? I thought they started the plotline which ended with you 'killing' Toreno.

Dynamithix 11-10-2012 11:44 AM

I can't really remember, been too long. But if they weren't optional, they really should have been...

Strike Witch 11-14-2012 05:26 AM

If you have a moment, think you could sign this?

Mr. Bungle 11-14-2012 05:59 AM

Signed. I loved Timesplitters when I was younger, but never got the chance to fully play through them.

Steamer_KING 11-14-2012 06:17 AM

All done.

Dynamithix 11-14-2012 07:07 AM

Graphics look great, they're really pushing the hardware limits. I have a feeling that Franklin will be my favourite of the three protagonists.


Crashpunk 11-14-2012 07:29 AM

Signed. I loved TimeSplitter 2 so much. :)

Yeah, what a cheap ripoff!!!

...wait

Jokes aside: The first screenshot looks very good, the others are not that good imo

Mr. Bungle 11-15-2012 08:46 AM

Morrowind (the area) just looks like a greyer version of Skyrim in this DLC.

Still pumped about it though.

It's Solstheim, an island between Skyrim and Vvardenfell. It looked like Skyrim in Bloodmoon too.

If anything, this new Solstheim looks more like Morrowind than the old one did. Bloodmoon wasn't this grey; Presumably the eruption of Red Mountain is to blame. Those are definitely Corkbulbs, Ashland plants.

Nepsotic 11-15-2012 01:22 PM

I wish I still had Skyrim :(

Firstly, does Battle.net ever have sales? Should I buy Heart of the Swarm now or later?
______________________________

Okay, wacky Dragonborn theory (partly mine, mainly not) ahoy - there are some good reasons for this one, but I'm not linking a dozen different UESP pages:

At some point after the Heart of Lorkhan was broken in Morrowind, the throbbing remains were reclaimed by Dwemer survivors, and stashed in a TARDIS-style lockbox. Hermaeus Mora, Daedric prince of fate, knowledge and magic - basically the Elder Scrolls Tzeentch (complete with tentacles and talking vortices) - takes an interest in it, presumably having forseen some vital need for it in the swirling future that others cannot. So he sends a few cultists crazy, and asks them to open this damned box. He can distort reality to a degree, but Dwemer technology tends to be resistant to magic (remember Spell Breaker?).

So it turns up in a glacier in Skyrim, and with your help, Septimus Signus opens it. Old Hermy darts in, warps out whatever the box contains and disintegrates Signus just for good measure. Either to throw him off the scent or show genuine gratitude, he chucks the Dragonborn a free copy of his book (not even signed!) and goes off on his merry way.

Now look at that screenshot of the Sleeper. Note the plain architecture, majestic but functional, like an old library. Look at the column, with the stuff falling out. Zoom in. Those aren't bricks, they're books. Featureless, black-covered books. Incidentally, Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora's plane of Oblivion, is an endless library full of featureless, black-covered books.

So, Hermy's bringing Oblivion to Solstheim. He's mobilising his cultists, who all wear tentacular masks of their patron. But what have Ash Zombies and Sleepers got to do with it? Well, they were once Dunmer, corrupted and sustained by the power of the Heart of Lorkhan. Vvardenfell's been levelled, the Ghostfence is no more. Whoever controls the Heart controls its children, and a certain heap of Daedric flesh just happens to have a new toy...

And the Dragon Priest? No idea. There are all sorts of reasons to get chummy with a being who knows almost everything, especially when all of your kin are dead...

5th and final episode of The Walking Dead by Telltale Games will be released on the 20th and 21st of November, next week. Looking forward to it. The game will probably go on sale too, as per usual.

I'm pretty sure Activision would forbid that from happening, because I've never seen a Battle.net sale. I'd just buy it now.

Is it out? I haven't heard anything about it for some time.

Mac Sirloin 11-17-2012 12:47 PM

I am going to buy GTAV just to play as Trevor. I like Trevor.

Pre-orders opened today.

For £32.99. Via digital distribution. In 2012.

Damn it, Blizzard. I wish your games were shit so I didn't have to pay for them.

Mr. Bungle 11-17-2012 02:52 PM

Diablo 3 was pretty shit in my opinion. I haven't played it since a few weeks after it came out, though, so maybe it's improved.

Starcraft II is amazing though.

Phylum 11-17-2012 05:12 PM

The latest patches added some cool stuff, but on the whole it's a bit dull.

I'm not going to bother reinstalling it when I get a new HDD.
