Bad parking can change the nature of a man.

So 2 Worlds 2 has a Geralt sounding protagonist (default character even looks like him) and a similar attitude. It has textures that continuously pop in and out during cutscenes some of which are beautifully well done slow motion action cutscenes with fantastic writing and vocal delivery. There's a part where two characters pause in the middle of their sentences like they're putting on their sunglasses and are about to deliver a punchline for no reason.

There's a jump button that works all the time and a running animation that puts ME3's to shame. The menus are well layed out and do not allow you to use the d-pad to navigate them cuz that's why you have a analog stick. The combat itself is super solid and every hit feels very loose and randomly thrown as you pull down the R2 button/trigger? to unleash them.

Did I already mention the great writing? The prologue involves you having to escape a prison, a breath of fresh air compared to other games, and the person leading you out tells you that the only escape is through a portal in the throne room. When that plan fails, she informs you that there is actually another portal in more less conspicuous room in the dungeons (where you started). This is plan b. Did I mention that the girl helping you is an attractive orc? Cuz female orcs are attractive apparently.

Anyways, this game is in great and everybody should buy it.

I warned you that it was Eastern European as .

I wish I was more Eastern European.

Final boss was tough as balls imho. I don't know that it's worth collecting all the reports just to see the bonus ending stuff, but it's definitely worth reading/watching the reports and the extra day. It explains a lot. ing love that game...

This game is simultaneously terrible and amazing. Reminds me I stopped playing. Gotta get back to it one day. I really think these guys could do great things with a bigger budget.

I might be the only person in the world that thinks TWEWY's soundtrack is hot garbage. It's what made me have to play the game with the sound off. At least the battle system pretty interesting.

The combat in TWEWY just felt like "scribble as fast as you can". Game was fun, though and a refreshing change.

I think the prologue was all I played of Two Worlds when I rented it from gamefly. I did purchase it last night. Might not get around to it for a while. Currently working on Saints Row 2. (Instant Game Collection!)

Saints Row 2 is not an RPG.

Good game though.

Didn't claim it was. Just is what I'm currently playing.

-On Topic Currently Playing-
Yggadra Union on the at battlefield 35 or 36. Only about 10 or so left.

I haven't played Xenoblade, so it's literally impossible for it to be "one of the best JRPGs I've played all year"

Anyway, Fortune Summoners is great and totally worth picking up.

I need to do that, and get a 3DS while I'm at it...

You're further than me. I stopped around 20ish.

Play Vesperia.

Speaking of Two Worlds 2, the GotY edition is on sale for $10 on PSN, $5 for PS Plus members. Yes the disk version is just as cheap, but MSRP of the expansion is $30 and that's free with this version.

Edit: You also get that $3 MP DLC for free with purchase of the Velvet Edition.

It's not just scribbling, you should have seen the strange looks I got back in college from my roommates when I was blowing, yelling, scribbling, and tapping the hell out of my DS. The blowing especially, at times it looked like I was trying to give my DS CPR.

Sure it did.

Played the game almost exclusively on the train. Let's just say I usually had plenty room around me to stretch... lol.

started fortune summoners because of blueshinra's recommendation, had the game sitting on steam because i bought it in the last steam summer sale.

it's decent... the cuteness overload is a little too much though.

the cuteness overload goes away though when sana keeps dying when i need her to go through water areas. .

maybe tonight when i go to gamestop the parking lot won't be full and i can get xenoblade and graces f.

So gog.com has a big-ass D&D bundle (Neverwinter Nights, Planescape, Baldur's Gate, Temple of Elemental Evil, etc.) going on for the next 20 hours or so.

Great savings can change the nature of a man.

Dammit, no NWN2. Lost my copy (with both expansions) in a move. Never got around to playing the expansions either... Mayhaps time for a D&D nostalgia trip though with BG+mods, NWN, NWN2...

Started Breath of Fire 3 on PSP... Very meh so far. Really love BOF4, so I'm trying to stick with it...

Seen this? I wouldn't hold your breath for a release date, but some of those screenshots do look tasty.
