In terms of Gwent difficulty I do think it's dependant on your desks for the most part with most of the random players you bump into. When I got to Novigrad and popped in the blacksmiths to gets some repairs done I noticed I could challenge him. Wiped the floor with me pretty much instantly where I had be rolling everyone over beforehand. This was because I had only been getting cards from shops and missing the uniques from quests and specific players. So after 10 or more failed attempts I went and did the Gwent focused quests and he was a piece of cake now that my Northern Realms deck was awesome. Then I bumped into my first Monster deck player... Things didn't go so well. CDPR really need to make a much bigger standalone game of Gwent with tournaments, online play and all that jazz.

so far i've destroyed everyone but that guy. i beat the "invicible" bloody baron on my first try and i'm really bad at gwent lol

i really like the game tho, i swear i'm gonna have my vengeance on that vizima nobleman guy if it's the last thing i do

Is Torchlight 2 any good?

Amazing

 

[M.D]

A little too big for its own good if you're one to explore every inch of the map and fight your way through every dungeon, I think, which can make playing the game feel more like a chore at times. It's like Titan Quest in that regard, but not quite as extreme. I'd play with a friend to reduce the possibility of burnout.

There is no such thing as TOO BIG when it comes to the glory of Rick & Morty.



Define "good".

No

Spoiler

Yes

I don't think it is bad, but I don't feel it is good either.
I found it to be kinda boring, both during the beta as well as after release.

The positives are that you don't need to be online to play it in single-player, the cartoony look and the modding ability.

The cons are that the gameplay (and the feedback to your actions) isn't as nice as even the first Van Helsing, let alone something like Diablo 3 and exploring feels more like a chore, or so it did for me.

Amazing

Hmm.. I'll wait for a sale! Thanks!

 

[Sober]

Torchlight is not considered good now? disgusting

Torchlight 2 was only good by the virtue of Diablo 3 vanilla being the biggest turd and fuckup. But Blizzard fixed it along with RoS, so now Torchlight 2 is just kinda there. It's not a bad game by any comparison, but it has stretches of boring and honestly the whole D2 gameplay clone is worn out compared to how D3 plays which is just flat out better.

You're better off with Diablo 3 + RoS

 

[texhnolyze]

And how come Diablo 3 has local co-op on consoles but not on PC?

Someone on B&S trade have it on his humble storage, you probably can get it for 1-2 bucks if its still available,

some more witcher. i think hard difficulty was a mistake heh, but it's also kind of fun to see some lvl 14 knights kick the shit out of me and chase me away from saving whatshisnameinacage. i'm really confused by how poor and underleveled i feel considering that i haven't been having much trouble doing missions that are higher level than me and fighting lvl 10 enemies pretty easily even when i was like lvl 4. but those lvl 14 knights, they're fucking me up lol

the game just continues to feel weird to me, i just feel kind of tired of it being super open world already. there's a ton of systems and crafting and stuff but all you do is run around and kill stuff. there's no stealth and horseriding isn't particularly fun, dialogue is strictly limited to quest givers, and while the bigger quests are pretty good, the smaller ones just feel like filler. gwent is really fun but so far i've only found two difficulty levels: that random crazy card master random nobleman at vizima's castle that always revives his heroes and then all the other scrubs in the game lol

i can't say i don't find the game totally addicting and fun to play and whatever but also i keep getting the feeling i'd rather the game wasn't open world and was just big open areas with tons of quests but still very focused like witcha 1 and 2

If you haven't already, I'd totally recommend turning off all the "Points of Interest" markers on the map. Having everything highlighted like that really makes them feel more like obligations rather than neat stuff to stumble across.

The noblemen in Vizima is basically infamous for being too hard at this point--but you can always come back to him.

Leveling in Witcher 3 is sorta weird. I'd say it only really serves as a gate to using better swords, which will goes a long way in determining whether you can practically win a fight. More so than skills, or armor. I'd also say large groups of trash mobs are way more troublesome than single high level critters--you can patiently wear down something that can't hit you, but a bunch of nekkers will stunlock you to death no problem.

I would like to give Torchlight 2 a chance in the meantime tho

Edit: Looks like I played 16 hours and 19 hours on these games. But I also 100% finished the first game while the second isn't quite 100%ed yet

Risen 3: Enhanced Edition Update coming tomorrow (out right now!)

Apparently, the Risen 3: Enhanced Edition (originally announced as the PS4 release of the game) will also be released as a free update for all those who already own the game.

On of the devs linked this (German) article on the World-of-Risen fanforums earlier today: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Risen-3-Titan-Lords-64-Bit-Upgrade_82340354.html

The update includes 64-bit support, higher quality textures and new (supposedly improved) postfx. I assume it also includes the volumetric clouds (the devs talked about this being a feature of the EE earlier, before it was announced for PC).

Obviously the Steam version of the game will update automatically; if you bought the retail release (which has no Steam integration; or any online-DRM, for that matter), you'll have to download the update manually. Apparently, the download is ~ 8 GBs big.

Risen 3: Titan Lords: The graphical fidelity has Risen

...now that we have your attention with our terrible pun, today we'd like to announce that, courtesy of a free automatic update for those who already have the game in their library, we're bringing a slew of visual enhancements to Risen 3: Titan Lords for players running the game on a 64-bit Operating System -

- Improved texture resolution for items, objects, foliage, terrain, particle effects, characters, monsters and other in-game models.
- Improved draw distance & viewing ranges
- Larger caches leading to smoother frame-rates & less LOD streaming
- The introduction of new state of the art post-process effects such as bokeh depth of field and HDR bloom
- Addition of a new physically based, more visually realistic cloud rendering technique that adds even more spectacular skies and sunsets to the dynamic day-night cycles.

For those of you yet to own Risen 3: Titan Lords, fear not: if you're running on a 64-bit OS then you'll automatically receive the 64-bit version of the game upon purchase. Due to the fact that the above improvements are only possible through the extra bandwidth switching to 64-bit affords us, those of you running on a 32-bit OS & purchasing the game will receive the original 32-bit version, which will of course update automatically should you ever move to a 64-bit OS at a future point.

In addition any DLCs that you have previously purchased (or may purchase in future) will obviously also function in the 64-bit version and all save games & previously obtained Steam achievements will also transfer from the 32-bit version to 64-bit version.

All the best!
The Risen 3: Titan Lords Team

So when installing the game on a 64-bit system will only get the new version while installing on a 32-bit still only get the old version?

So when installing the game on a 64-bit system will only get the new version while installing on a 32-bit still only get the old version?

Yeah. Publishers can flag depots to apply only to a 32-bit or 64-bit OS, not unlike how OS-specific and language-specific depots are handled.

Yep, didn't take me long to hit a wall (figuratively and literally) and I stopped making progress so forgot about it. Will try again on Steam when in bundle but for me something was missing.

Apparently Trine 3 is quite short, like 3-4 hours short.

I was about to say that sounds like T1/2 but according to HLTB they were much longer. Question is if it feels unfinished, could be that they ran out of money and EA didn't work out for them. No way they'll reach the old numbers, especially for 20€.

 

[Arthea]

yeah, the game is ruined by their wall jerk and controls being not responsive enough for higher speeds, not to mention those tiny maps when screen shows maps already passed for no reason.
But I thought you have it on steam already!

Talking about cat games, how come devs ruin all of them. Pushcat would be a great little game if it wasn't ruined by devs with that Ghost of theirs, there is actually achievement for being scared by it shitload of times, whatever made devs think that failing puzzle many times over for no reason (as in many levels there is no real way to run from it and solve a puzzle at the same time) is what a puzzle game needs is beyond my understanding.

Combat Cats it's probably the best of three but then again, why there are waiting times while shit happens is hard to comprehend.

Yet Destiny has 28 OTs and has sucked many people in. It's a real Marmite game it seems. Then again I loath lootwhoring games but oddly find myself spending 100's of hours playing them. Semi intrigued about The Division but Uplay is probably going to put the kibosh on that.

Nice, I'm glad they just updated the existing Risen 3 and did it for free rather than making it a paid second version. I held off on playing it when I grabbed it during the last sale when someone posted the Enhanced Edition stuff from the registry in here.
