That's just my opinion in regards to the fun factor I had while playing it, the only other games that have come close were be diablo2 and a few rpgs most haven't heard of. But playing bioshock with the lights out, volume loud, and late at night on the hardest difficulty isSierraKiloBravo said:
. The level Fort Frolic is just so damn good.
I agree. That is bold. I'd say it's the best game since Half-Life 2. Besides, after playing a PC shooter, I could never go back to playing Goldeneye on the N64 and I still can't (Goldeneye Source is a good port if anyone wants to check that out). Even Rare's own Perfect Dark for the N64 was a superior game. No console shooter felt right until Halo perfected the controls, IMO.SierraKiloBravo said:

I bought this for the DS a couple of weeks ago and I'm enjoying it. It's called "Dawn of Discovery" on that system.
I'll inevitably pick this up because BioWare made it, but this game looks a lot like Neverwinter Nights, which I was not particularly fond of. I'm not a fan of the micromanaging of spells, etc. required by those games.

I am, and I'm sure Tasker isrelease date on Tuesday October 20I'm not the only one.
You grabbing this one for the 360?
That looks like a cool game. If I still owned a PS3 I would absolutely pick that up.
I'll be playing as well. (probably on the 360). I've heard the manager mode has some horrible bugs right now though. (which is the main draw for me). I'm learning to play with full manual controlls on the demo (no direction assist, not even for short passes). It hurts on the short passes (especially against pressure) but it makes my through ball game so much better. Its much more satisfying to score. I'm not really playing anything current. Mostly BF2 on the PC and college hoops 2K8 (finishing up my legacy mode before the EA game comes out in november) with some BF1943 sprinkled in.Waiting for....Fifa 10(october)Battlefield Bad Company 2 (march)Assassins Creed 2 (November)NCAA basketball 2010 (november)I've got some other games i've considered, but this should be enough to keep me busy.
I'm looking forward to this as well. Big fan of the Baldur's Gate series.
Is this game going to be good this year? I haven't cared for the EA Sports basketball games for a long time now and I still play College Hoops 2k7 when I need my college basketball fix.
it looks very promising. its based on the NBA Live engine (which is getting very good reviews) and has unmatched presentation (both CBS and ESPN announcers and graphics). Like any other sports game (especially a college game) it comes down to the dynasty mode for me. if its great, i'll be there on day 1. if it sucks, i'm out.
Thanks for the info.
Also this code should work for $10 off $75 online:931082
Presentation looks very good. If it's not too arcady (like EA's previous titles have been), it might be worth a pick up.
Haven't decided....I'll have to see if the Xbox or PS3 gets better reviews right off the bat.I just saw a sweet commercial for it.I am, and I'm sure Tasker isrelease date on Tuesday October 20
Not sure. Never heard of this.
Gonna check this out. Any suggestions?
Looks like a Fallout MMORPG. Color me intrigued.
Still play a ton of TF2 myself. Great game.
I loved TF2 but EA never patched the PS3 version so there are a lot fewer players daily. No spy will get by me unburned.
Reviews of the beta are NOT good though...Aion sounds good though!Will check it out as well!
Start out knowing you are going to have to figure out a lot on your own. One of the things I like best about the game is that it doesn't hand feed you every thing. The learning curve isn't as hard core as EVE but it is very similar to the learning curve when EQ launched. You have to figure things out on your own and you will likely make mistakes. If you feel that your character has to be the most powerful possible then you will probably end up starting over a few times. It would take a lot to screw up a character to the point of being unplayable but some people get hung up the whole min/max idea.Throw everything you know about classes out the window. Champions Online got caught between trying to have classes without having classes and never found it's way. In FE there are no classes. Each character will end up different. Not sure how this is going to work for groups but it definitely works for the role playing side of things.Pick a weapon specialty and work from there. It boils down to pistol/rifle/melee in the beginning. Focus your skill points on one of those to start. You get enough skill points where you can probably support two of the three but it reduces the margin of error in other parts of the skill system.Get a horse early. You can use ATV's early but they cost a lot more to keep running and money is very tight for the first 10+ levels. The world is huge even in the early levels so some sort of transportation really helps. I didn't know this and went with a special offer that gave me a free ATV. The ATV is sitting in the garage because I can't afford to keep gas in it.The crafting system is really nice. You don't have to craft to enjoy the game but it certainly helps. If you like the challenge of figuring things out for yourself, then put time into crafting. When you go into larger cities turn down the slider that controls how far out the game tries to draw other players. I think it is something like "Draw Actor Distance". I read this tip early and I haven't had a single frame rate problem. On the same note run at the the highest resolution your PC can handle. When I was deciding whether to buy the game a lot of people were talking about how the graphics were dated. I started out on the default resolution and could see what they meant. I changed nothing besides my resolution and it made a world of difference. It is on par with if not better than most of the other mmo graphics. So far my system has been able to run at the higher resolution without a problem.Goes for all MMOs in my opinion but turn off the Help chat channel unless you actually need help. The maturity level of FE seems to be a good bit higher than most mmos but there is only one server so every punk and whiner is in the help channel trying to get attention.That covers a good bit of it but there is a lot to learn. The good thing is that it is fun learning it. With EVE there was a lot to learn but I didn't have much fun learning it. With WoW so little to learn it turned into a race to find something I had to think about to feel any sense of accomplishment.
I saw that offer for the free ATV and I figure I will go with that as well so good tip on the gas. Now as far as the servers...One server for every single player in the game? How is this possible?
I imagine they are planning on quite a bit fewer users than WoW. Quite a few are going this route nowadays. The last few new mmos that opened with 10+ servers have all consolidated servers because some were ghost towns. I don't know their user numbers but performance wise it has been ok except for absolute prime time. They have had a few resets over the past few nights. Nothing unexpected at release.Game wise it has only been an issue for one set of quests. A lot of people for one set of spawns. Again nothing I haven't seen in every other mmo. I think they started adding instanced quest zones late in the design process. I have had quests in instanced small houses with 10-15 mobs. I have had a set of quests in a huge dungeon with hundreds of mobs all as part of the open world. So it seems like at some point they started doing more of one than the other.
I'm not the only one.
