Just finished playing Magicka story mode for about 3 hours (got to chapter 6) with two friends, so entertaining! and funny as hell, good times, hadn't laughed so hard in a while, everyone should pick this game up.

Okay, should I buy Magicka? What are the odds it's going to run smoothly on my computer? (Win 7 64-bit, older Core 2 Duo, but baller HD5850)

you'll be fine. The game has some stuttering (at least in my case) but its a known "glitch" with some setups, will get fixed hopefully

If you would have to weigh it, where would it fall between "Ghetto" and "Fabulous"?

Garshasp is not that bad. Sure, it pales in comparison to God of War. But, if I remember correctly, this is a Indie game made by like 4 dudes. It's ambitious and delivers, albeit not wonderfully, on a premise of delivering God of War-like gameplay.

For 2,50 and a ticket, it's well worth it. For now.

You should try the demo, the game seems to randomly choose what PC's it wants to run and which ones not to.

Go for it, you will be fine and it's a fantastic game if you have friends to play it with.

Also it does use your graphics card pretty intensively, my 6950 temps average around 70c with the average game, intense games get it to ~80c and Magicka gets it around that as well, I actually had to set up a manual fan profile for it so it doesn't get that hot, after 3 hours of playing with it, it still got ~76c.

The stuttering is a known issue, they still need to fix it, but it's tolerable.

This was before the Summer sale, but I bought Hydrophobia for 3 bucks last week and finally got around to playing it.

The thing really sucks. A lot.

I got it this evening as well... then I kept going, and I've just finished the game. It was good, I hope to see more of this dog in the future.

I was actually planning on playing it all the way through today, since I've been in an adventure game mood. Finally got that achievement though! Switching computers worked. Annoying that it took so much effort but eh, now I can do that first section blind-folded.

I wouldn't count on it...it's been "known" for six months with no fix.

Any help with my Splinter Cell Conviction problem? Basically, my mouse feels awful. I have to make large movements with my wrist to really move the camera. I have the same problem with ACII.

I can do that, but I guess I wanted to try it with a mouse. No biggie, anyway.

I'll just use the ds3/motionjoy.

Well it bothers the shit outta me that they cant fix the stuttering issue but they can release plenty of DLC.

I really want to play this game but the stuttering is incredibly distracting.

Can someone tell me how this whole "Salsa is a girl" thing started. I swear it's mentioned on almost every page.

EDIT: OH GOD, my avatar is marvelous.

Ah I see, well considering the price then I think it's worth taking the risk =p
Got the game today and while I didn't get to play much yet, it's quite fun so far.

Is all of the Magicka DLC just map/item packs? Thinking of buying the complete pack but none of the DLC I saw seemed worthwhile, and I just want to play the campaign so I won't use any maps. Should I just get the base game, or is there any DLC worth spending a few extra bucks on?

Bought Oblivion;GotY Deluxe the other day for $8!

Now i'm just hoping 2009 Wolfenstein drops to a respectable sale price. It's still sitting at $20.
