  1. PC Amalur demo only available through Origin. Gave it a run because I didn't have any problems with it (I only ever used it for BF3 beta), and it seems fine... so far. It's already been a little dodgy in the connection stage.

  2. I'd imagine the combat scheme on PC (should they so pull through with it) might work something similar to Witcher 2. As mentioned earlier, just make it so that the PVP servers won't recognize modded copies. That way, everyone wins... unless you wanted to cheat online, of course.
  3. So I'm playing STALKER SoC Complete, and I've just cleared a camp of Mercs in Rostok. So I'm on my merry way back to the Bar, just a few meters from the exit when--OH GOD SO MANY DOGS AND BLOODSUCKERS WHERE DID YOU GUYS COME FROM.

      Fuck. You have no idea how much I want to play it but I have other games to beat. What makes it hard? I'm reading Roadside Picnic. I've seen the movie. This series is amazing.

      It's hard being that you can be prepared as much as you want, it's always the unexpected that's going to give you hell.

       

      And the unexpected has a habit of occurring quite often in STALKER.

       

      You can run around with the most powerful artifacts, weapons, and armor in the game and still get torn apart because you weren't ready or able to adapt quick enough.

      Case in point: Monolith one-shotted me with their gauss rifle snipers with relatively no effort on their part. Nasty stuff.

  4. Playing as Imperial Guard in Retribution is satisfying. They're weak, but when used properly with advance and reinforce tactics, then they're practically unstoppable. Having much more fun than I did as Space Marines.

  5. Damnit, Retribution, go on daily sale already! I want you even cheaper than you already are! *grumble grumble*

      Crafted 7 coal, and I got a 50% off coupon for Penny Arcade Adventures. Ugh.

  6. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc. Also, I got money and Barnes and Noble gift cards.

  7. I'd trade but it would seem that Steam Inventory is having some problems and it won't even open. And in the case it does (which was once), trying to trade makes it glitch out. Not cool. On the other hand, I did get the Frozen Synapse achievement and got another coal. Woo.
  8. This new Steam Christmas thing with the giveaways is like the most insane gambling game there is. Every single game on Steam? Madness... Also, coupons, too, and it only adds to the gambling part. I got 33% Off Any Valve Title. Boo. Wanted coal.

      I got a -25% off code and a goddamned coal.

      I got Solar 2 and a 25% valve voucher.

      I got a -25% valve and two coals. That's pretty awesome that you can actually win full games though.

  9. Steam has a strange glitch. Occasionally when I try to launch a game, it'll say "Loading [game name]..." and then the window disappear and reappear repeatedly, and the game doesn't even launch, just keep going on an endless loop of "launching" the game until I exit Steam and restart it. Have no idea what's causing it.

      Not sure if this is related, but I've had a couple of "Game is unavailable right now. Please try again later" glitches. All this week. This plus the spotty chat connection all week makes me think something's definitely up with Steam lately.

      @Faiblesse:

       

      It's not the game itself; the game never launches. It just keeps repeating "Launching game..." on and off. First it happened to Borderlands, and then Skyrim.

    4. MasterDex

      It might be DX related. I've found a few games that would do that until I found there was a DX dll that was missing. Once I put the right dll in the game folder, it'd start. Might not be the same problem but it's worth looking into.

  10. The Tiberium Alliances trailer makes me weep for what was once such a highly-regarded RTS series. It's essentially a half-dead cash cow now.

  11. Yeah, now let's move this thread into the PC games section where it belongs. The Bioware name is nice for the attention, but I'm glad that it's not actually Bioware making it, just Victory Games. Still happy it's getting a sequel, though.
  12. So there's going to be a CnC: Generals 2 made in the Frostbite 2 engine under the Bioware name (actually being created by Victory Games). Wut.

      Yeah, its good, just didn't expect them to revisit it.

      Red Alert Uno and Dos were mines... then General came along and got me too. It should be good. I hope.

  13. GSC has been closed down?! No more STALKER?! Nooooo! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/12/09/wuh-oh-gsc-stalker-2-dead/

      I should give stalker another chance. I've tried it a few times and simply didn't enjoy it.

      Yeah while it's disappointing news, there are reasons why they closed.

  14. Strangely enough, my first marriage is the only one that's worked correctly for me. It was Ysolda, and she now happily resides in Proudspire Manor where I occasionally pop in from time to time when not going on ADVENTURE! My second character's (thief dude) wife was Muiri, but something horribly bugged out and I can't seem to find her anywhere, not even in Markarth. On another note, though, I think it's pretty damn awesome that my Skyrim can run on high/ultra without a hitch despite my computer barely passing minimum requirements.
