Larian Studios Forums General Chat WHAT have you been playing , while waiting for DD2

I'll tell you i've been playing medal of honor allied assault ... Call of Duty World at War, and FALLOUT 3 ... which is not bad ... i really cant wait for the DD2 to come out tho, cuz i just got a new comp, and it's ready!!! .....
SO!!......... What have you guys been playin'.....

Fable 2 has been keeping me busy for a while but Ive been playing Mount and Blade lately.

when are the people gonna learn that it's is NOT DD2 but either D2 or D2ED.

DD was a screwup name given by CDV (i think) and now it's just D again

i've been playing:
- forza motorsport 2
- halo 3
- Gears of war
- crysis warhead
- LOTR conquest
- fallout 3
- brothers in arms : hells highway
- the witcher

and others

none of them finished though, not enough time to finish them all. i'm planning to finish:
- halo 3
- GOW
- fallout 3
- the witcher
- BIA:HH

Cause D2 = Diablo 2.

Been playing:
Silverfall + Earth Awakening expansion
The Witcher
Arcanum (there's now a higher resolution mod!)
Sacred

Planning on playing all the way through DD and BD again before the new game comes out.

Then you better get cracking!

Divine Divinity

That and NHL2K5 are the only video games I have available to me at the moment.

now that's a nice answer... that means the end of our waiting is nigh ... sweet..

how many weeks do we have to wait from now ??

I wanted to play BD again but the vista 64bit with 4GB bug annoys me . (I have several vm's running so a softmod to 3GB is out of the question .

Sacred 2
Fable II
Battlefield Bad Company
GTA IV
Bully

Drakensang
Star Wars Battlefront I (not II , I don't like it)
the demo of "Plants vs. Zombies" (extremely addictive !)

I've been playing:

The Witcher
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
LOTRO

I really feel like playing DD again before Divinity 2 releases, but I have so many games I need to play (I have tons that are not mentioned here because I didn't even start playing them)

Fallout 3 ......Civilization IV .... Chess...and HangMan......... :p
Oh, and Hi to Everybody....... when is the Grand Release here in Canada???

Nobody knows - everyone is waiting for an possible announcement at the GamesCom in Cologne ...

I actually played WoW for a while...

PLaying gothic 3 atm with comunity patch 1.72.

1920x1200 with full graphics and its quite cool to be honest.

Having a lot of fun, good warm-up before D2.

Divine Divinity, this computer can't run newer games

Underground 2
GTA:SA
Call of duty 4
Warcraft 3

Try Drakensang, maybe it'll run on it.

PLaying Risen now.

Quite enjoyable as a mage class. Terrible as a melee class. The melee combat system is not realy for me, veryyyyy frustrating. Mage class, on the other hand, is a gigantic blast.

I'm playing Risen as well. I love it. After the mess that was Gothic III, they went back to Gothic II-type Risen. It's awesome. It really appears like they started from Gothic II, learned from their mistakes making Gothic III and made Risen as an updated, improved version of Gothic II. I for one, LOVE the melee combat system. There are a few downpoints, namely: no dual-wielding and the using a twohander in one hand is a bit contrived (even though it doesn't look too silly from a visual aspect). Shields are also very powerful, but I think they were going for "You NEED a shield if you're not doing magic", which is why staff fighting is reserved more for mage classes. The combo's are very nice and when you get used to it, you can really get powerful. The silly multiple-enemy combat system of Gothic III has been changed, meaning your foes will cut you down mercilessly if they surround you, and it's up to you to keep them from surrounding you.

Its minor points are some problems with synching dialogue to their sound files, and some collision problems when you've been playing for a long time (easily solved by rebooting the game; savegames are still intact). The content is generally very good, and bug free as far as I've noticed.

Pretty much, if you loved Gothic II, you're bound to love Risen, 'cause aside for better graphics and different story, it's Gothic II all over again.

And don't knock the combat system. It's actually been since Gothic II that I've enjoyed a combat system so much in a game, and that's saying a lot. May take a little time to get used to, but once you figure out blocking, dodging, and timing, you will love it. It's not innovative like ED, meaning no battle tower or dragons or mindreading or stuff like that, they chose to keep it simple this time around. And I commend them for it.
