No wonder you can't stop staring, it's absolutely ridiculous! I modded both DAO and DA2 to use custom/male running animations for my characters but I can't do that with DAI since there's no mod support... it makes me want to cry. Who the fuck runs like that?

Yeah, it's pretty bad. It's even worse when you're playing a female warrior with heavy armour on because holy shit it's *really* not meant to bend that way.

Yeah, I noticed that - it was fun, but I still wouldn't want to get killed, hah. I absolutely loved the branding though, there were a few hours where I did nothing but brand orc after orc. "Sauron's Army" my ass :D

Yeah, probably. I guess I associate dying with failure too much - I'm really into hack and slash games these days and after so many no-damage runs I'm kind of insulted by the thought of some random orc killing me.

Oh I'm aware that it's supposed to work like that, I just... don't really like dying, so I tend to run as soon as I start getting overwhelmed and since the game is so easy I usually manage to get away. It's strange because otherwise I adored the game (I finished the main storyline yesterday and I'll probably 100% it…

Is the nemesis system really so popular? I painstakingly avoided dying because I hated it so much - felt like all the effort I wasted on killing Uruks was wasted because they came back anyway if I didn't get a decapitation finisher...

Hairstyle sets yessssss. Geralt's default hairstyle looked so damn stupid in W2 - I was so glad when I could finally change it to a decent ponytail.

I tried my luck with a cheap version of the one in the Kotaku article but it felt too flat - didn't help much with the slipping. I love how the ones on eBay are a bit hollow. (Also, my friends call them controller nipples for some reason.)

Yeah, seriously. I have a few deal breakers in games (extremely limited save options, cheap one-hit kills from bosses, RNG battles/loot, stuff like that) and inflating playtime by not allowing fast travel to places already visited is a major one. I didn't mind when I was a kid and got home at 3 PM - I sure as hell do…

Aw man... you just reminded me that I never actually finished W1 and I still feel bad about it. The "running back and forth" part is what killed me. I loved the story and the gameplay was decent but the quests just seemed so far away from each other that I got bored after having to run back to the same location for…

Man, I love these things. I use them for both the X360 controller on my PC and the wired X360 controller I have connected to the PS3 - they make a huge difference. The first five minutes were really weird, but I got used to them really fast and now I can't imagine wanting to play without them. And they're so cheap!

Sounds like a good plan! He'll probably stop sooner or later... if not, you might have to start using an elbow... :D

This is something you don't usually say on the internet, but I happen to prefer DA2 over DAO. While the recycled environments are pretty meh, I like the cast much better, I enjoy the combat way more and the game doesn't feel like it drags on forever. I found the pacing of DAO to be pretty damn terrible - most of the…

I usually solve the unwanted tickle problems with "accidental" headbutts and elbows in various body parts if the person doesn't listen to me asking nicely... sorry, I jumped, not my fault! They usually get the point after that happens.

Well, good luck! :,D

Hm. You might find FPS games easier because moving the camera is more of a gradual motion, whereas pointing the cursor at a fixed point on the screen is something you have to do in one go. Also, in shooters you have WASD to help you maneuver... interesting, though. If I were you, I'd buy a cheapo symmetrical office…

You really should try a left-handed mouse or a symmetrical one with the button layout mirrored - from what I've heard, it can make a huge difference. (I can't imagine doing precision gameplay with my off hand...)

Hmm... I really want to get Isolation but I'm worried about one thing - the saves. I have very little time for gaming these days and I'd rather not spend it on redoing parts I've already been through. How much time do you lose on average if you fuck up a section? Can anyone tell me?

Fuck yes. The person who thought that throwing in one of the most entertaining high-energy fights of the game after an uninspiring homage section that just drags on and on is a good idea needs to be kneed in the balls/ovaries. By the time I get to Jeanne I'm always annoyed and just want the level to be over - not a…

Fuck. I just assumed that the camera controls applied here, thanks for the tip!

Honestly, I have no idea about After Burner and Space Harrier - I avoid those types of games for a reason and encountering them in Bayonetta is massively frustrating. Thing is, this could have been implemented in a fun way - make the plane…
