Is the DLC worth getting or is just like in the original where you kill half the main targets on cutscenes or gameplay sections that are more like cutscenes in disguise?

Arcanum might be a shitty husk of a game that drove Drog insane and showed our god MCA can bleed like us, but man it looks nice.

Whoa now, shitty husk? I had thought so too years ago when I quit halfway through Tarant, now I realized my folly. Game is fantastic. Story isn't anything memorable but there's plenty of well-written, entertaining dialogue and NPC's with choices galore. I wish persuasion was used more often though or if it is, I usually can't tell when the checks come into play.

Now I know why people love Arcanum when I just didn't see it before. If only the same could be said for crap games like Baldur's Gate.

I need to get that widescreen patches, and finally play through it to the end.

I shudder at the thought of combat, though.

Combat isn't really that bad, turn-base just needed some polishing and striking needs more feedback and impact. If anything, it's too easy on normal difficulty using a melee master. I'm about to ditch Dog too, feels like having a cheat tool. Should've let him get booted to death. Combat is still better than say Divine Divinity, which is also damn good despite being a clickfest.

Arcanum is the pinnacle of cRPGs. I haven't been able to enjoy one since.

I got the DLC for D1Ping the deluxe super something version so I didn't actually buy it after the fact. The animal powers are kinda cool but the rest is pretty horrible. The story is moronic as hell and the MOBS of bad guys are rage educing since you can't get from point A to B EVER without a huge battle of trash troops.

Just wish the bottom UI was smaller.

You can toggle the compact UI with F10.

When they release a new AC game every Fall I can't imagine how anyone could want even more of it.

PC version with glorious widescreen mod.

Errr what? DD's combat is better than Arcanum. At least DD's skills are more-or-less balanced, and monsters do feel like threathening. Arcanum on the other hand...well let's just say I have bought it recently from GOG and but the memories of the combat immediatly made me shudder.

The good thing of Arcanum combat was it's less tedious because by the time you have received the best spells or tech (which doesn't take long) combat is fast and painless and actually fun because how you can annihilate everything in you path. I remember wielding the best gun which shoots as fast as a minigun in the last few areas and killing stuff so fast that made me laugh.

 

[Zewp]

Divine Divinity's skills might have been balanced, but the game wasn't. Just stock up on steel scorpions and drop them everywhere. Cleared camps of enemies that way.

 

[skacky]

Shadow Warrior 2013. Believe it or not, but it's actually good. And fun.

Arma's variation of The Zone

Playing some popamole fps

Spoiler

Here we can observe Skaarj in it's natural environment <Discovery channel lector>

Time for some cleaning.

Almost like Jo-Jo

<Insert Total Recall scene here>

That wasn't a fair fight

Finally at the fabulous castle

They didn't know what hit them

Looks like Doom to me

The aliens send a gigantic Terminator into the past to kill the parents of our brave hero


Meanwhile, in Return to Na Pali

Those little beasts are really tiresome, and are fast... too fast!

Apparently when you played DD, you never used an enchanted weapon especially with either "+ Poison" or "+ Frost" that even froze bosses. The game was so beyond easy to exploit. Hardly balanced or challenging unless you purposely avoided even the Holy Weapon quest.

 

[felipepepe]

Yeah, Frost weapons would freeze even the last boss of the game, making him piss easy:

what is that Phantasmal ?

Anyway, turns out FO3 is a lot more fun, well, some fun if you pretty much ignore the retarded quests and just try and powerplay or something. Also, this is a must:

AH MUCH BETTAH

 

[A user named cat]

what is that Phantasmal ?

Referring to my shots above? It's the PC version of Silent Hill 2. Since it's not sold anywhere because Konami are idiots, I'd recommend anyone to torrent or warez it. There's a version out there that comes packaged with the widescreen mod.

Edit: I should note that if you've never played it before, screenshots do not do it justice. It's more of a game you need to experience yourself.

I second that, since it's one of those rare masterpieces of videogaming and that it would be a damn shame not to play it...

 

[A user named cat]

I wonder why it hasn't shown up on Steam or even GOG. I'm sure it'd sell plenty, especially if they patched it properly. I guess they want to rely on that atrocious HD Collection for consoles. Last I heard it's still a piece of shit even after patches, they didn't even get the fog right.

 

[DalekFlay]

What if I hate horror? Still worth playing?

 

[potatojohn]

Silent Hill games are basically all about horror atmosphere. If you hate that then you'll hate SH.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Silent Hill 2 is less about Amnesia style terror, the mood is a lot more melancholic, with a pervasive atmosphere of irreparable loss and decay. It's also one of the extremely few games which actually manage to be disturbing and unsettling, rather than scary.
