Is Part 3 not loading for anyone else?

I can watch 1&2, but 3 just has a message in the corner saying it's connecting and... sits there.

On a scale of Diablo to Planescape, how's the balance between hack & slash and roleplaying?

EDIT: Oh, and since it's obviously a sequel (or is it the third- was this one or Ego Draconis first?), how much would someone like me who hates jumping into an ongoing story part way through be annoyed if I started with this one?

--
"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

Yup, that does indeed appear to work.

Now if only there was a patch that made me not be terrible at this game. I'm only a few missions in, there's no better equipment available, and yet all the enemies are already way more powerful than anyone on my team. And they outnumber my lot considerably. Not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.

Yeah apparently if you're using face data from ME1 -> ME2 -> ME3, it won't import it properly or at all if you didn't change anything during ME2.

So if I imported a save from ME1, but then replaced the face using a code from a website, then tweaked that face a bit (to make her a redhead), I should be OK to import that save to ME3?

Goddam international delays. I still have to wait until Friday.

"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

Welp, looks the verdict is TO.

I do like SRPGs, but I'm not very good at them- I've heard this one's supposed to be quite hard, isn't it? Although the ability to rewind does sound very useful, so I'm sure I'll be abusing the hell out of it (and cursing the RNG when it doesn't help).

"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

There are, apparently, ways to tell what's inside without opening them.

The first two series have an identifier barcode (and there are iOS and Android apps to read them), and the later ones have braille-like indentations that also mark which minifig is in there.

One day, I will learn to read these codes and start buying the figs I want.

GAME are probably going to crash and burn soon, and I've got £8 worth of vouchers to use there. I don't want to give the bastards any actual money, so I've found four things they've got in stock that might be worth taking that cost just under that (£7.99, to be precise).

So, which of these should I go for:

> Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
> Tactics Ogre
> Ace Combat: Joint Assault
> The 3rd Birthday

All are Classics re-releases (so hideous boxart and no extras for the ones that came in special packaging originally), and the last two aren't actually available yet, so there's a risk GAME will never actually get any.

Wasn't that kind of what Mega Man Universe was supposed to be?

I mean, it was more of a "here are the tools to build your own levels" thing than compilation of existing levels, but surely it was going to have a whole selection of Robot Masters to fight, if not play as.

"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

Eh, they'd probably just ruin it. Remember Dark Alli-

They're bringing back the Infinity Engine? BEST GAME EVER!

"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

Woo, major drama going on in the UK-

GAME, the bunch of vile and insidious con artists who somehow managed to get an exclusivity deal on the N7 Edition are, to use the technical term, up excrement creek without a method of propulsion. EA are refusing to let them have any more games, so they've had to cancel all the ME3 preorders.

So all the copies that were going to GAME have now been reallocated to Amazon, Play, ShopTo et al, and there's a mad scramble to get a new preorder in before they all go again.

TLDR version:

If you live in the UK and had ME3 N7 Edition pre-ordered, pre-order it again from somewhere decent NOW

Clock's ticking.

Planescape: Torment- unlike The Nameless One, I am unlikely to wake up again after dying. And since he's already died quite a few times before the game even starts, I would be dead long before the opening cutscene.

£30, free shipping if I order before the end of March.

There are loads of American sites that have them (but ruinously expensive shipping to the UK) for about $40-50

Nearly got one two years ago- after seeing them in a shop, Mum went to buy one as a birthday present but they were sold out, and indeed unavailable everywhere I looked.

Finally came across a UK site that has them in stock, so now I'm sorely tempted to order one. What do you lot think?

"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

A lot of those arguments are really picky. Or at least severely overreacting to minor inconveniences.

For example, having to scroll through all the options when selecting a hairstyle- who doesn't at least look at all of them anyway? Is forcing you to see what all the options actually look like really so much worse than giving you a list of vague descriptions that you can't actually see until you highlight each one?

--
"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

I'd assume it's to make sure you're serious. If you pay something in advance, then at least they've got some money from your slot if you decide not to bother turning up, and likewise you're less likely to just blow if off if you've already invested some money.

Unless there's already been other advance fees, I dunno how this stuff works.

There's a total conversion mod that imports all of BG1's content into the BG2 engine. Fixes quite a few of its flaws, and incorporates all the new features introduced in 2, such as the extra class options.

The series is designed to have one character that you import from the original into the sequel, so it's worth playing both.

Wait, the CE is only $20 difference in the US?

Try £30, and only available from the worst retailer in the country. **** GAME so damn much.

Yup, I gave $45.

Already own all the books, but I had to get that colouring book, so I went for the $25 art print, plus the Sticky Schticks card pack (even though I don't own the game!) and commemorative patch.

Heck, even aside from being able to travel in time and space, just think how useful an infinitely-sized extra-dimensional living space would be!

--
"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

That all depends on if Doctor Who is airing new episodes at that point or not

They only started filming yesterday. And unlike in the US, British shows tend to make the entire series before they start airing it- DW is due back in Autumn. Not March.

As someone who doesn't understand how American television works at all, I have to ask- does any of this shuffling/pseudo-politics hint at whether or not Community is likely to get renewed yet?

I tend to give my RPG characters rapiers. They suit my preferred build of "dodge everything then deliver quick jabs whenever there's an opening" style fighting. That and Weapon Finesse.

They should have two versions- the basic bikini costume for $1, and the Deluxe Edition for $5 that adds the bikini and gives Serah a boob job.

tons of people have been *****ing SWTOR and think DA2 sucks.

Yes, and hardly any people have been defending them, so in what way is this a problem with Bioware's fans?

Seems to me, as someone who has played and enjoyed every BW game (but agrees that DA2 should have been a lot better) that it's not my faction that's making all the immature noises.

I bought it a few weeks ago, got it home, turned out the disc had been stolen while it was still on the shelf. I spent most of my lunch breaks over the next week trying to get hold of someone who could give me a refund without accusing me of stealing it myself.

Yesterday, I found another copy for half what the last one cost, and decided to try again. This time I got a disc. Unfortunately, my Wii can't read it. It's running into the "Waah, dual layer discs are scary" problem, even though Prime Trilogy and Brawl work just fine.

TBH, I don't care how bad this game is. It's personal now. I WILL play this son-of-a-*****, and nothing is going to stop me!

Except, maybe, the £4.99 price tag of a lens cleaning kit. I don't care that much.

Neverwinter Nights, if you count a compilation disc of previously download-only Premium Modules as 'buying DLC'.

If not... Dragon Age, probably. Or Mass Effect 2, not sure which I got the DLC for first.

Tower Defence would be awesome.

But there are already more TD games than there are atoms in the universe, with another fifty trillion being uploaded to Flash portals every nanosecond. Why do we need Mojang to make yet another one?

Also, they're not awesome, they're terrible.

--
"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

Hmm, I think I'll wait until it lands somewhere a little more high profile. I'd rather not sign up to yet another site, let alone one I haven't heard of until now.

Any plans to get it on Desura? Should be a bit easier than Steam, since it's indie-focused.

--
"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

The quest's actually pretty good. As you go through the ruin you see ghosts of the inhabitants preparing for their last battle, always a nice touch. Plus, you get Starfang, which quickly became one of my favourite swords in video game history.

Besides, if you're in the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race and determined not to get it, there are plenty of mods that make the NPC go away.

Egyptian Steampunk sounds awesome.

Unfortunately RTS Shooter is going to end up meaning Tower Defense, a genre I utterly despise.

On the basis that I've got most of the trophies and could probably get the rest without too much bother if I went back to it, whereas every other game I'll almost certainly never get near the Platinum.
