          Here's a couple of early videos I made. The one at the walls is worth sticking through the end. I really was clueless as to what I was doing in combat at this point and almost had a victory until....you'll see.

          Short, but you can see the blood hitting the walls...pretty cool

          And finally I took a few screenies just to show off how nice the lighting looks.






          I love that this game is a challenge and really ADULT...but not GTA over the top adult.

            This game is incredibly badass. Once I got used to the combat and how to fight using hit-and-run tactics, it became very, very fun. Some of the animations are downright wicked, and I can't wait to see what else it offers. I'm only playing on Normal midway through Chapter 2 at the moment. Kind of taking my time and investigating everything I can.

              What's up TC. I have to make adjusts to my computer in order to play this one. I have the first one (enhanced addition). Can't wait to get this one.

                Yeah, this one is worlds better than the last as far as combat goes. And I love that the decisions are less black and white than other RPG's. In other games, it seems to be "save the orphans" vs. "burn down the orphanage". This one, there's no real right answer, and I've already heard stories of how different the game plays out depending on choices you make.

                Really, really digging this one. My PC tears through it as long as the Ubersampling and SSAO are turned off--but only one one monitor. The triple-screen Eyefinity 5760 x 1080 resolution won't even let me get past the launcher, so that part sucks.

                  Whoa... TCrouch, what's up buddy?

                  Nice to hear your impressions. I know you and I had several game logs on Oblivion going, so definitely good to hear that the game is playing out nicely for you. And we all know that if "burn down the orphanage is an option" The Sadistic TCrouch will choose that option, lol.

                    To piggy back off of what WTF stated. I take it there is no serial killing in this game to suit your tastes?

                      LOL actually there is. But it's tougher.

                      I started pulling out a blade and marching through town, which made all the guards hate me. So I tried to slaughter them all, but couldn't. They had too much health so I kept getting killed.

                      I did find a quest where a guy asked me to get a formula...I did, then went back to the quest giver, gave it to him--and then proceeded to kill them all, take it back, and loot their entire base of operations. Found some pretty good stuff.

                      Double-crossing is alive and well.

                          I'm at my first real boss fight in Ch. 1 Can't remember it's name. The creature in the river....so far not doing to well! But I know I'll figure it out. The depth of this game keeps suprising me. I love that you gain "knowledge" on certain creatures.

                            TC, it is good to see somethings just never change. Lol.

                              I just noticed that there are no female dwarfs or children...

                                No dwarf children or no female children?

                                LA Noire came to my house from GF and I really wanted to check it out, but I simply can't stop playing this game.
