Best TES IMO. Why do more recent RPGs all feel the need to upgrade the monsters proportionally as you gain levels? Makes leveling kind of pointless. :shadedshu I want a gameplay like Morrowind with the graphics of Oblivion

Borderlands doesn't level the monsters.

Which sucks, horribly. I went back to do side quests I had missed, and all the enemies were 5 levels below me. So basically I could shoot them once in the foot and they would die.

This took all fun out of the missions unfortunately. :shadedshu

Borderlands really needs a difficulty slider you can adjust in game, like Oblivion.

Edit: oops sorry about double post, ah well...

Isn't that always the case? I bought Bioshock when it first came out and I still haven't finished it. :wtf:

Triprift · Jan 7, 2010

Shame on you Omega shame Bioshock is awesome.

Thrackan · Jan 7, 2010

I always play one single player game at a time. Usually I become so immersed in it that if I start another game, I forget about the first.

Yeah, but it's still an 8 year old engine, so even when tweaking the textures it remains graphically outdated.

Ah well for me, at least to a certain extent, gameplay is way more important than graphics.
The fact that I'm playing Knights of the Old Republic and not really noticing the old graphics says enough I guess.

I agree, yet what annoys me is that they did 2 other RPGs with much better graphics but completely screwed up the gameplay IMO... I just wish they'd kept the same class of gameplay with their new graphics

Until recently, I've been more of a multiplayer gamer. There's very few games that I have actually finished all the way through. I've decided to do the campaigns in all the games I have (~300GB worth :wtf:

). Started with Mass Effect (AWESOME GAME!!! :rockout:

), now I'm on to Crysis. :laugh:

That and I keep changing my hardware all the freakin time; I always seem to forget to backup my saves for single player in games. :banghead:

ArmoredCavalry · Jan 8, 2010

I'm about halfway through Crysis campaign now. Last time I played it through was with hd3850.

Now with HD5850, I can set it to max settings w/ 4xAA and it looks great, and more importantly it runs extremely smooth. The most noticeable thing is probably the textures on the guns, the very high textures are ridiculous.

I forgot how fun the tank mission was. :cool:

olithereal · Jan 8, 2010

Just started playing "Divinity II - Ego Draconis" today...and so far I'm having a blast. Great RPG. The first few minutes kinda made me want to put the game down...but I'm damn glad I kept going because it really turns out into a good game.

That looked sorta fun actually. What is it comparable to (if anything)?

Well honestly...nothing much. Only thing that comes to my mind is the Gothic series, and this is still pretty different.

shevanel · Jan 8, 2010

team fortress 2 but only the orangex3 map.. all the other maps feel too small and cramped..

now that all the kids are back to school the orange server is usually empty so that blows... playing nothing atm... awaiting L4D2 DLC..

Entertaining game for sure! Do you have any issues with AA not working correctly? I do...as in it doesn't seem to work at all in the game. Aside from that bouncing between The Witcher EE and this game, both have their ups and downs, I truly despise the music in Divinity II...mute that crap and put on some Pantera, that fixes things right up.

:toast:

eidairaman1 · Jan 8, 2010

Nothing at the moment, as I need to reinstall everything on the desktop and my Laptop, then build the new desktop

Stearic · Jan 8, 2010

Playing NFS:Shift
Dirt2
Installed Resident Evil 5, but haven't started it up even once yet.

Yeah, I noticed that too...I mean I changed from 8 to 16 AA and saw no difference visually, and my FPS didn't take a hit. I'll try and force some through the Nvidia control panel tomorrow, cause now I'm off to bed!

One of the reasons I still run XP; Crysis completely maxed, 8xAA :rockout:

I've been playing FC2 a lot since I got on the Steam deal. Only problem is that after a while, the game with either crash to desktop with no errors, or more recently, full screen "crashes" to a window. I can still play but I have to save the game since my gpu clocks go down to 2D levels and the game becomes unplayable. Its really frustrating.
