Welp, I just played an hour of Risen 3 and so far it isn't terrible! The first few moments has you start in a dream of fighting against pirate ghosts on the open sea and even in that short tutorial, Titan Lords has more pirate adventure than the entirety of Dark Waters. There's still some confusing bits even without the plot induced memory loss from having your soul ripped out such Patty apparently being your literal sister now. However, the game has that same old charm and there are no immediately visible monumental flaws, like Risen 2's lack of dodge mechanics at launch, so we've avoided the worst possible outcome of this being bugged to death as well. The combat is more varied and responsive, even to the point of being so twitch based as to almost go too fast for your typical gothic-like. You're still the Hero of Faranga so I guess I'm just a dummy for not understanding what little info Piranha bytes coyly gave for this game -- even as he's come down with a bad case of the "I need to have a throatier voice so I can be more badass" syndrome. Titan Lords so far seems to give all your potential ally choices as soon as you talk to your first real follower and I don't know if there is double/triple/etc. dipping in being able to join more than one faction. That said, you also now have a morality or "spirit" counter that makes you become more demonic if you're an absolute bastard. There's hints that if you go too evil you can lose any chance to ally with past human characters and can only find buddies in your new Underworld brethren, but I haven't found any reason not just to hang out with Eldrich's Demon Hunters, The Mages or your old pirate crew. So far the only fault I can find in this game is that they turned Patty from a respectable swashbuckler into a pirate clown.   It's no where near as bad as what they put her in the first Risen, but they took one of the only small victories the second game had and just slathered her in goofy sex appeal again.

The Witcher is a lot more honest about its own sleaziness. also, you know, actually fun (at least judging from risen 1+2, haven't played 3)

There wasn't much backtracking and even though there were several ridiculous OP guns so you don't feel as vulnerable, it has some great atmospheric areas and some genuinely creepy or grotesque scenes.

Quest For Glory II posted:I'm assuming Dead Space 2 cuts a lot of that bullshit out and focuses mostly on the set pieces, since people say the franchise goes more-and-more action with each iteration It's a lot more action-y and cinematic and includes an essential feature –  folding helmets á la Star Gate (the movie) .

Note that the Steam version of Dead Space 2 has a bunch of cheat DLC enabled, flooding the store with free over-powered items. You can ignore them, but it makes the store a mess (and buying any of the suits upgrades your basic suit's stats long before you would do that normally). You can disable that stuff if you can get your hands on an un-patched exe, though.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:If it's actual DLC in steam you can disable it in the client now via Properties -> DLC -> Install [✓] It's not. It was patched in on PC after someone modded the game and found that the DLC (that was being sold on consoles but not on PC) was already in the game but just disabled and could be enabled with a simple hack.

I just started playing the secret world but the keyboard/mouse controls feel a little off, is there a way to set up a gamepad to be used with it? I've got a PS3 controller hooked up with better DS3 but i don't think the game has built in gamepad support.

The worst sin RAGE commits is that it is entirely unremarkable. It's not offensive, in fact the guns are quite good and the enemy AI is passable, but everything else in the game is several levels beyond bland. Some people really like it, so you might as well see if you are one of the diseased. As for Metro 1, not really much in the way of cool story trinkets, but you should really play it anyway.

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:I played the first Obscure on the PS2 with a bud, how's the second game by comparison? I liked the original obscure for it's style but didn't like how jank the co-op implementation was and how startlingly fragile you were in it, like everything could instantly kill you and it got annoying late in the game. I already beat it, it's about five-six hours long I guess? The co-op remains janky since it's not splitscreen (so your other partner could just run away off the screen and die) but on the whole you can take more of a beating, and I only died a few times (mostly on bosses, and in the area where you lose your inventory and can't heal). But it tries to be really grimdark and maudlin and it feels very out of place. Like someone already said, it's got rape in it, but also weird juvenile jokes about weed, all the way up until the end of the game. On the whole, though, it's pretty fun I think! a tip: don't quit when the credits roll, there's another short area afterwards with some extra gameplay.

Orv posted:KB+M feels off because the combat in TSW is awful. I'm not sure if there's a way to use a controller sadly. It seemed simple enough in the tutorial mission. You've got like 7 moves, you just have to be facing the enemies who seem to run around a lot. This makes it hard to control because the moves can only be activated by the number pad or clicking on the icon in the hotbar meaning you can't really move and attack easily. It's the kind of thing that seems like it would control brilliantly with a gamepad, sort of like a 3rd person action game or something.

The gunplay is awful and couldn't possibly be less kinetic, the level design is a generic series of corridors, the enemies are boring to fight -- and that's all for the on-foot shooting sections which simultaneously are the best part of the game and make up less than a quarter of the runtime. I wouldn't even install it.

At most it has hidden away areas off the main path with more supplies or a gun to pick up. There are occasionally noticeable environmental stories to go along with it but no audio diaries or journals or something. Lots of conversations to eavesdrop on in towns though, some out in the world.
