Risen 2 |OT| Set sail for awesome!

ouch those fps seem low considering they designed all the environments to fit within console constraints

still pre-ordered ($45 at amazon DD) as I like the new settings, its something different from all the other fantasy RPG's out there.

Now that the launch on Steam has moved up to midnight eastern time tonight, I caved and bought it. I'm pre-loaded and ready to go! Still working through the first Risen right now, but if the writing is as good in the second one then I'm pumped.
 
BTW you can pre-load this on Steam now. I started the download before I went to bed last night and now I'm ready to go! :D

Thanks, Clydefrog.

Looks like I'll be up late tonight!

Guess I'm staying up, assuming Green Man Gaming sends out the keys.

Same...

I hope they aren't late on this. Then again, they're based in the UK, right? The launch time would be the middle of the night for them.

Well it looks like it's now available. Any impressions/screenshots? Still undecided.

Yeah!

I have no idea what this is. Risen 1 wasn't released in Australia. It looks a bit like Witcher 2, Two Worlds 2 and like the tinest dash of Fable. So, generic high fantasy. But, it's about pirates? That sounds cool.

Fuck it, will buy it and report back with impressions later on.

Got GMG key and about 25% downloaded now. Hopefully it's not just a pre-load.

Is the retail/boxed version Steamworks?


I freaking love Risen 1 but the impressions and reviews on Risen 2 are not looking good then again this was the same thing with Risen 1 will wait for more gaffers impressions I guess.

Canada here, nothing yet. It's available for purchase on the store page but it's not coming up as unlocked.

Still in the Coming Soon section for me. Where are you in Canada?

Am I gonna have to proxy this shit? Goddamn I hate these artificial release times.

I went to the website rather than going to the store itself. There's a giant Risen 2 splash page up now on the store homepage. Steam's probably just a bit slow on unlocking the preloads. Hopefully it won't be long.

Yeah, the store page updated for me now, too. Getting the big Now Available splash page, but the game itself is still in the Coming Soon section.

Hopefully it will be ready to go in a couple of minutes.

Rebooted Steam and it's good to go for me now, too. Come on decryption!

edit: are we the only two here excited for this release :(?

The performance is fine on my computer, but Jesus, the pop-in is horrible. I'm gonna see if I can't find a config file or something to mess around with the settings. Also, I'm not sure what I think about all types of food being lumped together as 'provisions'.

I might have to give this a miss for a while: GW2 beta weekend tomorrow and Diablo 3 not too far away. Will pick it up later this year though, I liked the first one.

Still waiting for my key, heh.

Not that it matters much, at work all day and then will be playing GW2 this weekend. Hope to get into this next week sometime.
