Yeah, better to play that before the Witcher.Quote:

Damn you withcher!
Witcher 9.5/10
Amalur 6/10
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning ... My word ... Started playing it a few months ago and just never got back to it. Hope I still have my save from my previous play session :wtf:
Love its cartoony style of gameplay. All colourful and vibrant.
Don't like how close the screen is to the player though, and the limited FoV as a result.
Other than that. Very nice game, in my opinion.
Indie game called Limbo, read some reviews and decided to get on Xbox Arcade. I think it's available on Steam as well and it's pretty cheap . Side scrolling puzzle game. Very simple dynamics but man it had such a great atmosphere. 8/10.
Witcher 2 - Enhanced (buggy) edition
Finished this on Friday. It has been over a year since I've last played the game so I'm not sure which cutscenes and missions are new but I don't remember the game crashing quite as often back then.
Anyway, even with all the issues, I'll still score the game a 9/10.
I've seen 3 different endings so far and I read somewhere online that there are a total of 16 different endings... amazing. Can't wait for Witcher 3.
Yeah Amalur is not very deep or big on consequences, but that's what I liked. I know The Witcher is gonna be awesome, but for now I'm enjoying the carefree play style of Amalur. I can think it's a bummer to play after The Witcher. Strange how timing makes a difference. Can I ask did you enjoy Skyrim? I'm finding common feelings amongst people who loved Skyrim, they dont like Amalur. I didnt like Skyrim at all so Amalur was great. Anyway, I'd say dont play it for a while but dont give up on it.Quote:

AC2 is still my favourite, but one thing Revelations did was make me realise how good Brotherhood was. There are obviously some improvements (especially regarding recruiting assassins) but in some ways I felt that the game was a step back from what they had achieved in AC2 and Brotherhood. Nevertheless, still a good game I'll probably go for the 100% completion just because I feel I haven't played the game enough.
Alan Wake (PC)
I bought it with the current GOG sale. I've got to say that I'm really enjoying it so far. Loved the Stephen King quote at the beginning :)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Let's see... Great combat - for all three classes feels very badass and visceral, like a mix of RPG and hack-n-slash (but for the record - QTEs are still a complete waste of time). Most of the game's RPG systems work really well, particularly little things like how easy it is to re-spec and how merchants have unlimited gold (I'm looking at YOU Skyrim...) TONS of side quests, even right at endgame. Most of them are terribly dull, however, aside from the Guild missions which are fun. Art direction is great - at first I thought it was too simple and cartoony but it really works and I think it sets the game apart from others in the genre. The story seemed really interesting and promising at first, but really just fizzles out near the end. Overall it's a fun experience and worth a try.
I'd say 80%
Mass Effect 2, start with ME3, but since it felt like a new game, I decided to wait a bit. So playing Kingdoms of Amalur atm. Fun game. Gfx looks good for a cartoon style game. What I like most about the game is how I can change my attack style within a fight. With just 2 mouse buttons and Q to switch weapons, I am able to kill any enemy with timing and good combo-clickers.
Cant say the game is "over-the-hill" though. Since I dont have that long for it like I have with GW2 lol.... give more betas
I don't know if I reviewed these before:
Mass Effect 2
Much better than ME1. Has more action and less of the boring walking around and talking-definite win! Some things were better, some worse (medi-gel and obtaining minerals). Very good and judging by this, the hype for ME3 is understandable.
90%
Rage
Good shooting and racing, amazingly steady and smooth graphics. But the story...eish. I never cared much for the player character and the ending was extremely disappointing. Was pretty good for it's genre, it was different from the rest and longer than expected. Took me 18 hours to finish, which is good for a FPS.
75%
Games that must still be finished: Mass Effect 3, The Witcher 2
