This is why I was ready for another diablo type game. I can have fun by just logging on for 30 minutes, immediate rape, pillage & loot gratification is available. With MMOG's 30 minutes is barely enough time to check the auction house much less even get to a location where rape, pillage & loot gratification can take place. |

Do you even need a code to be in the beta now? They just send me an email with a link and said if I didn't need it to pass it along to a friend. There was no code or anything, just a link to an account creation page, which I assume anyone can access.
There's a key in the link, at least the ones I have have a key. You're right. My brain has da funk this morning. Sorry. I'll forward it to Ironwood if Ironwood wants me to. Yegolev wanted one and I don't have access to the PC they're sitting on to PM him the link if you're really looking to hand one out K, I emailed it to him, although our favourite veggie has everyone covered now, I think. |

Finally got to play a bit last night. My first impression was that it was pretty, but holy fuck it ran slow. Cranked the video settings down a bit and it ran much better, but was slightly less pretty. It was mildly amusing for a bit, but then got a bit tedious. Then I got a couple of nifty loot drops, and some new skill powers, and it became fun again. I am thinking I will play a bit more this week sometime and make a decision about purchasing. I am leaning toward buying atm.

I strongly suspect this halloween will be ALL about the witcher, not HG:L.

The Witcher just sounds too much like a bad 80s metal band song. Oooooh, spooky and edgy!

Ok, but people were positively hinting as GUSHDOM when there was an NDA. Suddenly that drops and it's wank.
I don't get it.
There would be a lot more gushing from me if i thought the game was ready to be released. Its not. It was ok to gloss over the technical difficulties and gush over the potential during beta, but as release nears im not gonna be the guy calling this game the second coming of raptor jesus when its going to end up being a bug ridden mess. It could be really good... 4-5 months. |

Early word on the Witcher has been universally positive, comparing it to Oblivion, Fallout, etc. I'm looking forward to it nearly as much as Mass Effect.
The reason why the wink, wink, NDA, but I'm playing all night stuff happened with HG:L was because it made a good initial impression, before you realize that the 22nd hour both plays and looks identical to the 2nd hour. The repetitive dreary environments and bugs start to sink in and you realize that your initial positive impression was a wee bit too positive.

Apparently The Witcher is based on some very highly regarded Polish fantasy epic a la Tolkien, Moorcock, etc, etc, ad infinitum. Or something like that.

Fallout 3 doesn't make Oblivion less crappy.
And Fallout 3 at this point is The Supreme Crapshoot. It could go either way.

Fallout 3 is Oblivion + radioactive scorpions. Write that down, put it into a time capsule.

Has anyone figured out how to complete the quest icon on the minigame when it gets reset everytime you zone? that one still puzzles me.

as far as I know it only resets when you hit a station, so if you're tearing through three zones before seeing one you can probably complete them. as the "acts" progress there are more and more things to kill so finishing becomes more plausible, but the loot is still junk for the junk god. I'm going through the expanded beta content right now and, while I generally agree with sam about the sameness, my pants now have random glowing hoses. neon. I think they connect the suave line to the gyro-butt-lifter. there's also a sword made out of flamethrowers, which is like the earlier version only it has even more flamethrowers. |

Ya know, I feel sorta odd not caring at all about this one. I haven't since the "OMG-ex-Blizz-devs-make-new-game" days. I didn't during the mouthbreathing NDA-breaking days. And I don't care now. I loved D2 and this is close enough that I can say I played it before, but not in the same way as "you played EQ1 before so you've played WoW". Adopting a Windows OS before SP1 is a choice. You chose... poorly.  is gold. Saving that pic for a rainy day :-D |

I have to assume due to that (PC Downloadable)_MASTER thing that she bought a digital download, the extra days will let such people download the game early but the servers won't be up until the 31st. WHAT THE FUCK.
WHY.
NO.
JESUS CHRIST.
I can't tell if this is about the game coming out early or Signe's decision to buy directly from "the devil". |

I didn't feel like getting another box. Boxes have become kitten toys in this house. (along with everything else including my feet, ankles, socks, and one kitten seems to want to live inside my face) Anyway... it doesn't matter who you give your money to, the devil will get their share.

I think I got confused around page 1.
This game's wank, right ?
You know what it is? It's Tabula Rasa with a better graphics engine and less people per server and less lag. |

It's nothing like Tabula Rasa. At all.  It really is like Diablo 2. Tabula Rasa is nothing like Diablo 2. |

I have the same exact feelings of mehness about HG:L that I do about TR. Other than lock-on targeting not being in HG:L, it feels almost exactly like Tabula Rasa.

as far as I know it only resets when you hit a station, so if you're tearing through three zones before seeing one you can probably complete them. The thing is the icon only lit up when i hit a station and turned in the quest, not when i completed it. So you would have to be lucky to zone into a station with a completed quest right as you get the quest icon. |
