I just hope they change the one part in the mines with the death walker dudes. I get tough fights, and its going to happen and be challenging. But the part where they are invulnerable and chase you forever was just dumb and time consuming. It was silly you had to cheese it to even get by and I don't know why they even included that.

I'm a big fan of this game, but this was one of several times I looked on the Internet to make sure I wasn't doing things wrong, and it'd be a better game if those moments were eliminated.

I guess it's a good thing Larian doesn't cater to this particular group.

In your Codex pandering/trolling you conveniently left out another goon's response to that though:

I dunno. I liked that there really wasn't a right way for some things and you had to come up with your own solutions.

But those guys are the minority over at SA, most of them are a bunch of breaindead moronic mouthbreathers who couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag.

Yeah that's like quoting a Sensuki reply in their PoE thread or a Volourn reply on the Codex.

I already pointed out, if stuff keeps happening as it does now, it's good. Console to PC is different than PC to console. Console games are designed to be playable with a pad with a few buttons. Design+gameplay able to play on the imprecision and slowness of two thumbsticks. It's easy peasy to get them on the vastly superior M/KB of a PC. On PC you have other systems running in a different way, at different speeds, with other layers of complexity. If future projects are like this one, good. A proper PC game, in every sense, then ported and adjusted for consoles years later. Perfect. But do you think it will be like this ? Aren't there enough examples over the years? They're gonna take the shortcut, most likely. So many games fucked after they went from pure PC to multiplatform, Invisible War and Deadly Shadows which probably started the "consolisation" term. Supreme Commander, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Crysis, Unreal Tournament, FEAR, etc. God, they made Commandos a PS2/original xbox FPS after the ground breaking trilogy for PC, which made history.

So again, if us PC gamers won't suffer because of their new found love for pads, consoles and couch gaming, good. Nothing lost. But after i read how Swen doesn't even game on PC but likes consoles, the team at Larian realized over night how awesome couch gaming with pads is, what hope should i have. Are you confident their next game is going to be a thoroughbred PC game or some Dragon Age 2 nonsense ?

There's a difference between real-time games and turn-based games. Only thing using a gamepad will do for DOS is make selecting things slower/clunkier, since you can't hotkey stuff, and click on stuff. But since when did the actual gameplay of DOS depend on precision and speed?

Couch gaming might be neat for DOS because I can show my friends what a CRPG is like. As in, something with more interesting gameplay than Final Fantasies.

Actually, couch gaming is useful when you, uh, want to have fun with a friend in person. Good shooting gameplay? Nah. Being able to punch your friend in the shoulder when he fucks up? Yup.

And yes, obviously non-couch-gaming on a console is just dumb (excluding genres like fighting games, uh... sports, etc, I dunno).

I think the only reason I got a console was to play a game sitting next to friend(s).

(Also, for something like a shooter while a mouse is of course better for aiming, a thumbstick - like on the G13 - is useful for movement because it frees up your other fingers to get at hotkeys faster)

What kidn of faggot has friends

 

[Jaesun]

I have a bunch of friends...... Oh wait.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

I have friends but I don't want to sit next to them in a couch or sofa. That would be really fucking weird. Personal space, bro. Personal space.

Also, if my friends suggested I play with them a console rather than a PC I will rightly laugh in their faces.

Do you even cuddle, bro?

Cuddle? Usually, our local co-op sessions end up in royal rumble wrestling.

Not everyone has aspergers you know. Also you can keep your personal space just fine with wireless controllers unless you find people sitting in the same room as you uncomfortable, which would be even weirder.

I think the splitscreen solution is fucking great especially for introducing "outsiders" to the genre, really looking forward to playing it with my girl on a big screen

lotsa fags itt

Wrestling is just a more active form of cuddling.

@ Jimmious: Eep! I've been corrected, it seems steam controller is not necessarily compatible with the Enhanced Edition. Sorry about that.

Dozens of couch gamers are squealing in disappointment.

Isnt it distracting that there are different music and sound effects playing on the two screens?

Tbh I just think they never tested if it works, but that doesn't mean it doesn't :p

 

[Doktor Best]

Why should there be different music? I think there will be a priority system for track selection and then there will be only one track played at one time. Sound effects, we'll have to see how they handle it, but i guess the only problem will be voice over if there are 2 dialogues held seperately.

Larian aint dumb folks. They have created a great coop solution for Ds, im pretty sure they will deliver again.

Ok, ok, I just thought that when the 2 characters are exploring 2 different parts of a map, there could be different sounds and music at some places.

No you didn't. You didn't think.

Hey pal, everybody loves making fun of J_C, he's the local punching bag but you're a tad out of line with your joindate, come back in 2016.

What's so important about join dates? Do people here actually believe having an earlier join date makes their shit more tolerable? What's the reasonning behind that?
A lot of guys with old join dates are dumb as fuck anyway, registering earlier on this forum didn't improve what nature gave them. They brandish words like "decline" or "popamole" like McCarthy would with "communism", probably assuming it gives them credibility, but it's all a gimmick and just by a look at this forum it's obvious a good amount of them are exactly what they pretend to despise.

#1, it's a joke.

#2, the "all the old regulars are idiots compared to my scintillating wit and intellect" social ploy doesn't go down well anywhere, but hey, it's your own funeral.
