I'd be interested to know as well. Unfortunately I don't know of any as I am playing it vanilla right now (it still looks really good to me aside from some blocky models and some low-res NPC textures).

It kinda scared me for a minute wondering if my pad was going to run into these issues midway through the game. Phew.grendelrt said:
I'm glad I bought a wired pad.

That is fucked up . . . well, unless you are really paying a low price for internet access.Dice said:
It is not like the wires or routers wear out. I'd understand if they throttle at times heavy bandwidth usage by everyone. But there is really no point of capping bandwidth usage if you are just downloading big games overnight when no one is using the bandwidth. That is bad economics.

So is F.E.A.R 2 worth checking out? I picked up the first one on it's own as buying the pack is no cheaper than buying them individually. I'm hesitant to grab the sequel because I seem to recall the demo was somewhat underwhelming and I'd heard it wasn't as good as the original in many ways.

Wireless 360 pad and my wired hori pad. This is an issue with all Ubisoft games. From Assassins Creed 1 to Conviction.Stallion Free said:

really? I'm pretty tempted atm
The world is really clicking with me. It's so bleak and the music really excellent. The world has a lot of depth but it's easy to grasp what's going on. The combat does not thrill me (I think this will be the deciding factor for some people) but it works fine and the interface is good. For $5 I feel it is absolutely worth a try.
Thanks, dude. I would have never known about this had you not posted about it. Is this a Christmas-only thing, or has it been going for a while? Either way, someone should make a thread about it, is my opinion.Dr.Acula said:
And I couldn't agree more with you about the first paragraph. Morrigan can Disapprove all she wants.

Maybe next time that guy will use a proper ISP, like TalkTalk.

Yeah-- as someone said in the official thread, alchemy and magic is something that I avoided in games like Oblivion, but it's very well-presented in The Witcher. It really feels like it's part of what your character "does" if that makes sense.

Its pretty old news I think. Since the PC version came out a while after the 360 one, all the PC users got the DLC for free which was already out on 360.Dambrosi said:
Well from the intro movie where Geralt is drinking his potions to the first mandatory potion you have to make and even in the difficulty description. They really made an effort to tell you that "yes you have to make and use potions". Its one of the things they succeeded in.MomoPufflet said:

Yea I just got done checking out the MOD DB site. It seems they have some mods over there. I usually like playing PC games with mods, odd fetish of mine. Thanks for the linkage. The texture mod is reported to have issues with the Steam version of the game. At least by the comments on Mod DB.
Edit Direct Link to just the mods for witcher:

The damage so far hasn't been too bad for me, only 3 games bought:
Disciples 3 is actually pretty awesome, like King's Bounty and Disciples 2 had a baby. While I loved Disciples 2's simplistic combat, I also find myself enjoying the grid based battles going on here as well. Haven't run into any bugs yet, but I feel like they are lurking in the darkness waiting to strike...
Iron Grip Warlords... Love the concept of this game... a FPS + tower defense, but ugh, my first single player experience was pretty bad. The instant I step out to shoot the enemy I get annihilated, no matter what kind of cover I try to use, and the interface is so clunky. I really need to play this online before I judge it though.
AI War, well I played the shit out of the demo and loved it, can't wait to dig into this and maybe play some co-op with some other people. I hear that he has implemented almost perfectly seemless drop-in drop-out co-op which has me excited.
Bring on this week's sales! Kinda hoping Drakensang goes on sale. Would definitely pick that up for around $5 or less.

You have 3 fighting stances to choose between, enemies are weak against different ones, and you click every 3-5 seconds to chain attacks, when the icon flashes to a chain icon. If you click at the wrong moment your combo ends.
The combat is serviceable, gets the job done. It's the world and story that are the most enjoyable parts. If you enjoy them, the game delivers a great RPG experience, if the story bores you along with the combat, you're out $5, not the worst thing ever.
There aren't really any essential mods, though there are some to rework the combat a little, and other misc things. I played it vanilla, though technically the EE already has a bunch of mods built in actually, so it's not completely vanilla like the original release.

It shines in co-op with a group of buddies. That's really the only way it should be played.wayward archer said:

I'd also like to mention that the Witcher has the est morality choices of any game I've ever played. Nothing is black and white, and you never feel like you have to make a choice to play the game the right way or anything like in KOTOR or ME.

I broke and bought Super Meat Boy. I don't find the idea of playing as a sentient chunk of meat to be appealing, but I do like indie platformers.
