Is that the "darkening by the fans" of Diablo 3 applied to Dungeon Siege 3?

Looks fine.

What's with all the retarded 'herp generic setting derp' lines? What did they expect from DUNGEON SIEGE? Maybe a floating steampunk city set in 1913?

I don't think these count as high heels. I just don't like how she conveniently twists her body so you get a constant faceful of tits & ass, essentially ruining the whole "the hero is a girl, but you couldn't tell because she doesn't act like a wish-fulfillment anime slut in retarded revealing armor" thing.

Jaesun, bro, how does it work with gays. Are they "multigender" bros. Like they take it up the ass and mouth and give it, or are they exclusive top and bottom. Or are they mal so mal so.

WHY IS THE WOMAN WEARING HIGH HEELS IN COMBAT

It's so fucking retarded when games do that.

It's to appeal to the faggots who can't go for 5 minutes without thinking about fucking something. I'd like to say this is limited to teenagers who just discovered porn, but as far as I can tell the disease has long spread to the adult population as well.

It could be just as sexy if they gave her sandals without heels or something. Why does it always have to be some retarded thing. :(

At least there's no pic of chainmail bikinis (yet). And I guess I'm the only one who thinks that full plate armor looks even sexier than those, either.

Yeah, I hate that shit as well. It isn't even a feminist/respect thing - I actually feel like the game is insulting my intelligence as a guy by insinuating that I'll ignore flaws in the gameplay or otherwise enjoy the game more because there's a fricken cartoon (well, animation but the point stands) of a woman wearing skimpy gear involved. Games just seem like the most absurd place for it - surely anyone, even teenagers, could just look up some porn if they really wanted. Hell, if they want they can play the game in a window and look up porn at the same time. It just looks so monumentally absurd.

It's particularly bad in games where NPCs are supposed to be important in terms of characterisation and plot. If you're desigining a character, how hard is it to work out that a major part of the way that character is expressed in a visual medium is the way he/she dresses and appears. By having a character wear a bikini and heels in a combat situation, or when travelling on the road (or even the random catsuits in ME2), you are changing the NPC's personality - she's no longer an experienced warrior/mage/whatever, suddenly the most prominent feature of her personality is that she is so moronic that she would dress like a pole dancer in the middle of a battle. Even without that, in real life a woman who permanently goes out in her underwear/ bikini (chainmail or otherwise) / skimpy outfit, for general day to day business, is immediately recognised as having severe psychological and emotional problems - you don't think 'sexy', you think 'how fucked up / neurotic must she be!'. Hey, in the unlikely event that they're actually writing a character that was molested as a child and has such low self-esteem that she can only value herself by getting attention through going out in her underwear in absurd contexts, then that would be fine. More commonly though, it just derails the character.

This isn't GD honey. Feel free to ask there though. I'd be happy to answer any and all mystaries of the hidden realm of faggotry.

On topic... could this be the game that breaks the great curse of the Obsidian Shitty Camera? Probably not, but one can hope (even in vain).

You see, isometric hack'n'slash is not a first person shooter. Overdone postprocessing effects like DOF or bloom only make models less noticeable which is a big no-no for that kind of a game. Monsters and heroes blending with the environment is a major mistake. Blinding player with flashes is another one. It seems that players will have to actually disable "new shit" effects to get a better understanding of what's going on which negates the whole point of having pimped up engine.

Subtle visual effects often read very poorly during gameplay. The Devil May Cry series, which I personally believe is a fantastic action series, uses extremely large visual effects and I think it works well for them. When you see Dante's muzzle flash from his pistols in motion and aren't concentrating on them, you might not notice that they are literally the size of his entire body. But yeah, they really are that big. When you have characters at that scale, exaggerating the visual effects helps the player more easily identify what's going on in real-time.
Best to pass judgment once you see it in motion I guess.

I'm saving this quote so I can call him a liar later if I have to. Unless he's comparing it to the crap he's toiling on. :smug:

No, Bro. I would totally like to nail a chick in full body armor. Though that begs the question: How will I know it's not a dude?

Looks like Obsidian still thinks that NWN2 graphics are top-notch

Also what the fuck with all these lens flares, one even comes out of the ass of that jumping moron?

One good thing though - all efforts of Obsidian at trying to stick to big players are so pathetic they provide for some good laughs
