Nope, Magic gave you blue flames on your hands and eyes and poo poo. Leveling anything advanced your age. It's just that there were so many things to level in the Magic tree that your impression of it is probably kind of skewed. Of course, you could always just grind early, amass a ton of gold, and do the donation/quicksave thing during the Archeologist quest to be, uh, forever 21

Quest For Glory II posted:Started Binary Domain, immediately wished I could remap the controls (aim was Back button, shoot was start, L/R looked up and down?? right stick didn't even work). Not that I can't play it with M+KB but I've been leanback gaming a lot, it's a little disappointing. I'll come back to it later. Obviously that's a glitch or something.

Quest For Glory II posted:Anyway. I decided I'm going to give Alpha Protocol a try again. I gave up on it in the first area even though everyone says the game gets better after it. I'm gonna slog through that first area and get to the better parts this time. Compared to the rest of the game, it's goddamn night and day. Instead of being down on brown people with funny accents, you slam fat Russians into bars before getting all bro with them and buying them drinks, play email tag with a Timecube conspiracy theorist, and fight everything from gun runners to special agents to black ops poo poo and even Winnie the Pooh. No, seriously.

Dear Steam Thread, Please help me make Alpha Protocol run. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and it crashes once I choose "Play" from the splash menu. I already tried the weird "harvest dlls from System32" trick.

Shock Trooper posted:I just tried to start playing this recently too and ran into the same problem. On an Nvidia card, you need to uninstall or disable PhysX entirely to fix the crashes. That would've been the case, too, because I recently upgraded my computer. My old box used a nice (albeit kind of a lemon) AMD card, but I put an Nvidia card in my new one.

Manatee Cannon posted:There weren't any bonus objectives involving powder kegs in Black Flag. I dunno what he means by accidentally upgrading the ram. It honestly would've been okay if you the missions didn't require you to defeat every single enemy ship available in the stage with the powder keg method since you could realistically crack at least one open, but forcing the player to kill 100% of the enemy units with a technique that has maybe a 50-50 chance of success on rough seas is a little mean.

So does 1:10 hits to scar mean "every tenth hit" or "10% chance to scar per hit"? 'Cause the latter is kinda mean. Does it include the Lost Chapters content? You're right about waiting for a sale: I'm interested, but I'm not $35 interested.

Authorman posted:It isn't the best Rockstar game (Bully) and it sure as heck isn't the best sandbox game (Sleeping Dogs). It's pretty good, but its mechanics have definitely aged and it goes on way too long. Try as I might, I just couldn't get into Sleeping Dogs. The combat was fun enough, but something about the setting just bugged me--that whole "Heeeeeey! Buy bong fo' yo' faddah!" Chinatown thing that's present throughout the entire game, probably. You'd think that wouldn't be a dealbreaker, but there you go.

Always go with a gamepad for any game that has driving and shooting at the same time, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches. It feels like I'm coming up on the endgame of Dead Man's Switch and while it was... okay? I was pretty underwhelmed, especially when compared to the SNES Shadowrun, which was fuckin' gigantic. Maybe I'm not because I still only have access to basic Cyberware, but I'm starting to get the itch for a more open-ended experience like Jake Armitage's story was. How does Dragonfall measure up to it?

Like, my hearing isn't good enough to be able to tell the difference between FLAC and MP3s so it doesn't really affect me, but other folks seem to love the format. Steam (unlike Apple's proprietary lossless codec) has no vested interest in not being able to run them. Maybe it's a gigantic pain in the rear end to program support for FLAC?

I doubt it; most places have a caveat emptor policy since system requirements are listed clearly. Alternatively--and I wouldn't know 'cause I don't know the Sherlock Holmes system specs--if your hardware should meet the specifications and still doesn't run, I wouldn't doubt that you have a good case for that refund.

Honestly, I find the modern day stuff to be interesting on a certain level, but they should just go whole hog in one of the upcoming titles and make it an Assassin's Creed game set entirely in modern cities. assassin's creed: eugene, oregon

So this Tomb Raider reboot is pretty great, thanks to Ragequit for bringing the GMG sale to my attention. When I bought it, I was like, "ennhh, Tomb Raider? I can't believe I'm buying this" and now I'm like "oh my god it's Uncharted except you can power your character up and I don't need to buy a PStriple!" I only just started it, but, uh... they wouldn't happen to be making a sequel, would they?

They'll import mostly cleanly. You might have to redownload 10-100 megs, which is much less painful than pulling down 20gb at 150KB/s.
