Risen 2 dark waters.

[#1]

Is anyone picking this up on friday or anyone have it already?Not heard much about it or is that because it`s not worth getting?

[#2]

I'm getting it tomorrow (thursday). It has the potential to be amazingly awesome. If it's even half like the first one (PC, XBOX360) i'm personally going to love it.

[#3]

Looks good can not seem to find any review scores`s anyone seen any review scores for this?

[#4]

I don't do review scores until AFTER i've played a game. And even then, it's to see if i agree or disagree with what is being said. I played the first one on the xbox, which was a poor port of the pc version, BUT, it wasn't as bad as the reviews said it was imo.
I make my own mind up on games, I don't need anyone else telling me if i should like it or not.

I completely forgot about this game until today when Zavvi sent me a email saying they have cancelled my Collectors Edition because they can't find any stock. I have had that order for around 5 months now. O well I won't be buying it this week. I am in no rush to buy it so I will wait until its cheaper.

[#7]

I got the same thing from amazon, they weren't getting a delivery of the collectors edition until friday, and wouldn't be despatched until saturday, so i cancelled my order and had a word with the bloke at my local independant games shop. Not only will he sell it me at the same price as i was getting from amazon, but his delivery would turn up on thursday (today), i pick it up at 2pm, result for me :)

I have got it on my rental list.

Will try before I buy, I did enjoy what I played of the first one though.

Dw, Zero Punctuation doesn't do out of 10s or whatever, he just speaks really fast.

[#10]

Kevballs let us know what its like after you have played it for a couple of hours and no spoilers lol.Just want to know if its ok no lagging or freezing etc,etc.

[#11]

Will do mate, but i will say now, I'm more tolerable to some of the problems games get shipped with.
For example, Dragon Age Origins had framerate issues, and lagged a bit when lots of things were going on, many people complained about it, claiming it to unplayable, but I didn't see them as that big of a problem and played through the game 6 times. And it's in my top 5 favorite games of this gen.

Basically, what i see as good others may see as bad and vice versa.

[#12]

adjusted camera speed to 1.5 so when doing a lot of looking about some graphics load slowly which also affects the music.

no HDD install which might prove a bother later on in bigger battles if theres a lot going on.

Seems an ok game at the mo tho, not a skrim of oblivion, but better than Two Worlds 2 in my opinion

[#13]

awesome, theres no warning that you're stealing something till the person it belongs to attacks you :D

[#14]

got smashed by a trap :D

wasn't even any hint it was there. looking at you skyrim :|

[#15]

So its a good game then stu?

[#16]

now Im off and going on it, I will say yes. I am only 6 hours into it tho

Combats a bit simple, with L1 to block / target lock and its just square to attack, but then theres some other nice little touches like I killed some monkeys and got no swag :( but later on I bought a small saw and now I get claws off them :D

However, with it running off this disk I have been having some laggy slowdown of the game at times.

but there was a patch released today so dunno if thats fixed it.
