tut tut tut. That's not a very respectful way to talk to your father.

QUOTE(Diamandis @ Oct 7 2013, 03:52 PM)  I've gone fairly old school with my gaming choice recently: Lost Odyssey!
It's a pretty epic RPG that was released years ago, and it's one of my favorite games. Anybody else played this?
I've played it,, I think I got to the 3rd disc before getting caught up with something else. It's sitting in my pile of "games to finish". But Oblivion, Fallout 3, and recently Xcom: Enemy Unknown keep getting in the way. QUOTE(PhonAntiPhon @ Oct 7 2013, 06:23 PM)  Currently Dragon Age, but I have The Witcher on order from Amazon...
Would that be Dragon Age Origins or DA2? I'm a huge fan of Origins, but after hearing about the changes they made for DA2 I didn't buy it, and going by the reception it got I'm glad I didn't. The Witcher falls into the same category as Lost Odyssey does above, but I don't think my laptop will run it, unlike my old one it's got integrated graphics. *shrugs*

DA:O at the moment but I will admit to being a big fan of the second one, yeah it's different and yes it does have it's faults for sure but nevertheless it is a good game in my view, certainly gave me a lot of hours of fun. I think there was a lot of Fanboy hysteria about it because it was so different but I thought, personally, that it was not anywhere near as bad as folk, certainly on the forums, were making out it was. As I say, I liked it. Oh yeah, additionally I'm playing Aralon on the Tablet - and that's very good as well, got a couple of other Tablet RPGs lined up too, so it's looking quite busy on the Phon gaming front...

Dragon Age 2 was fun but was reused the exact same layout for countless dungeons and forced you to be human. It was more cinematic than the first game and I enjoyed it but the ending was nowhere near as detailed and I didn't like being forced into a named character's role.
I think the majority of people who disliked it did so for the reasons I noted.
As for the Witcher series, to say I'm a huge fan would be an understatement.

I tried to find out more about this Wotcher thing all the kids be chizzleizzing about, and all I could think about was "NOBODY'S WEARING PANTS!!!!!!!!!" Oh, Middle Ages, you cheeky so-and-so. The Witcher is great but is very adult. There's no shortage of nudity or adult language so if that sort of thing offends you or your parents will freak out then consider yourself warned. I really liked it because it has multiple endings and is not afraid to "go there" when it comes to taboo situations. I also thought the voice acting was great and the graphics were decent too. The story is definitely the best aspect though.

I never played The Witcher but I did watch a few scenes of it on Youtube, including some of the special cards you receive for courting a certain woman or a group of women. Yes, the game is explicit but adult. I can't wait to get The Wild Hunt for the Playstation 4.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”
