    Got Stalker but won't be able to play it for some time yet, on a laptop and doubt it would run that well sadly enough. Bet shall have much fun with ti.

    Going to grab that mod too so thanks for that!

    Weird, Avast! is reporting a Trojan on Fate of the World's .exe (suffixed by "|>[Emul:Mem]", apparently), even right after I verify the game's cache in Steam and redownload it. Like, immediately after. Three times now. Anyone else with Avast! and FotW getting this?

    I reported a false positive but I guess I'm not playing FotW any time soon.

    Also, running scans.

    Edit: Steam forumites reporting same issue. I did chuckle at the comment that says "republican trojan attacking liberal game?"

    MSE ftw, but I personally put Avast in second place behind MSE.

    Unfortunately, there's no market share in runner-up.

    The best part for me was a funny graphical glitch where everyones head was invisible except for their eyeballs and teeth flapping away in midair.

    Trouble is I fucked off across the world for a year within a week of buying it and haven't picked it up again since. May have to at some point just to justify the cost of buying it no matter how terribad it is.

    If I had to guess, it's the "Vista" part of the phrase that's your problem, rather than the "MSE" part.
    By the way, the Witcher sucks.

    Too long have we been downtrodden.

    Too long have we been ignored.

    Rise up, my Witcher-hating brethren (and maybe sister)!

    The time has come! No longer will we cower, cold and alone, in the face of the Witcher-loving oppressors.

    Unite!

    Revolution is at hand.
    No, seriously. Fuck the Witcher.
    I am having so much more fun hating on the Witcher than I did trying to play it. Definitely worth the five bucks

    So... got around to finishing Crysis. Was pretty meh, as I think I've said before the suit didn't really add much to the game due to the stupid energy costs of power and speed mode. Characters and plot were cliché and forgettable. Vehicle sections were crap.

    And goddamn I just want one game to have a minigun that actually kills stuff better than a normal weapon, sheesh.

    Is Warhead a direct sequel to Crysis?

    I got both awhile ago, but barely started on Warhead after finishing Crysis. Mainly because I can wait for the gripping section in Warhead where I stand there being useless while Nomad does everything. :P

    The combat is fiddly and doesn't feel particularly responsive, the acting is terrible, the story is uninteresting. Perhaps all of these improve later, but I refused to play a game for ten hours on the promise that "it'll be great later, honest".

    • Wibbly controls
    • The stance-based combat - I see what they were trying to do (add some depth) but IMO failed
    • An unpleasant feeling of confusion as to where to go and what to do
    • A general sense of uninvolvement
    • Craptacular performance on a machine that should be able to handle it reasonably well

    I'm sure there's more but basically I just try to forget the game. I gave it two or three hours, but if I don't like a game by that point, it's very unlikely my opinion's going to change.

    I'll probably give it one more shot when eventually I have a new machine, to mitigate the last point. That, at least, is fixable.

    I'm sure its the same standard reasons most people don't like it. Combat, models, combat, voice acting, combat, mindless quests, com.....

    Although I haven't beaten the first game (thank you gamer's ADD), I loved the setting enough to play enough to get used to some of the things I initially didn't like.

    I hated the combat system. Oh sorry you were using your anti monster stance, you only do 2 damage as your sword bisects the human in front of you.

    I don't regret the purchase though even if I never finished it, because they treat their customers well.

    Crysis seems really ho-hum if you're scared of the energy restrictions on your suit, but you can do some fucking awesome shit if you switch modes a lot. I started out using all the other modes sparingly but now I spend lots of time in each mode and combo them.

    The problem for me was so, so many bugs towards the end of both the original and Warhead (the latter is better as a game, for the record). It's like Crytek was trying to make me hate their game and a lot of the time they did a good job of it.

    is this mod still active and worked on? I played it back when it was first released and it was nice looking, but very unbalanced and not particularly fun. Other than the mechs looking the same it played nothing like traditional mechwarrior.

    I was willing to forgive most of the other stuff people have picked up on here, but what killed it stone dead for me was the complete lack of direction. You had one line of text in a conversation telling you where to go next and if you missed it or forgot it than tough shit.

    All I wanted was an arrow, or a map blip, a sign post, a dotted fucking line, just anything to point me the right way. After a couple of hours of aimless wanderings and being completely unable to progress the story any I just lost the will to continue. The game was too "meh" to be worth the effort.

    It was the fault of the game for not clarifying that scene further: the brother was a ghost that could only be exorcised by mentally scarring it.
