Kritika Online.... of course it's made by Enamse,the ones who brought us the Elin class and many more ways to beat your dick while you are leveling to any of the female classes in Tera Online.

Love this guys commentary 8:52 staff between her boobs ?! .... minute 14:23

for me it's more the gameplay and the music ... it's pretty fun even in solo insane (until Starhenge ... at that level : party mandatory :laugh: )
i also played Tera but more for the control setup and gameplay (just like blade and soul)

not everybody is focused on the look of the avatar they have :roll: also i prefer the Psion because it's not over-exaggerated like the Reaper/Valkyrie/Vamp ok the skirt is a bit short on the default outfit ... i can easily see why kids would be excited over a pixel panty shot :laugh:

thanks to you now i can avoid a double posting :)

@rtwjunkie, next in line ;) i was right to want the box .... pretty one :love:

6 DVD oh bloody hell ... do i install it "old school" or do i DL it via steam, also notice the box is not the same as the standalone one i've shown previously :p but the same "capbox" as the collector edition .... i wonder why o_O

oh .... wait ... iirc the game is on 4 DVD .... soooo 2 of the 6 i have should be the "OST" and "Art of Elex"?
whaaaaaat! mini collector edition? o_O nope ... disc are labeled "game disc" 1 to 6 .... uh? :confused:

oh very nice boxed game!! I had bought mine on GOG, but if I knew it was available boxed....i might have gone that way.!

72 hours in btw, still exploring, and not finished main quest. Keep finding side quests and new exploration.

some exploration areas simply cannot be done until you are strong enough to take on people or creatures there. Usually is a nice reward, tho!

okay did some first step in it, the graphics are beautiful the story settings are nice.

two grip (three if counting the voice acting but i can get over it):
1. it's a RPG but no main character customization (not a big issue .... he kinda look like me .... same haircut/head but slightly buffed up body :laugh: good .... now i know what to expect if i go more to the fitness club at my job :roll: )
2. playing on high-ultra on my rig seems to yield 34 min to 54 max UH????? on 1080p ....

noticed on Reddit:
"Kalarrian 1 point 18 days ago

I'm running on a 1070, 16GB RAM, i7-6700k @1440p on maximum details. Usually have around 70 fps, range is from 60 to 80."

something is not right .... i plan to get a 1440p screen later (mid december) luckily only a 60hz (a 1070 is not tailored for 144hz ) but if i only get around half the fps that user has and the only difference is a 6700K instead of a 6600K (well i could have taken a 6700K when i got my Skylake rig ... if i had 250chf more :laugh: ), which is aberrant, since Elex only use 1 core up to 100% and then use the other if the 1st one is pushed to the max, and it's GPU bound .... there is strictly no reason that my 1070 would not get in the result range of any other 1070 or 980Ti in reviews with similar CPU o_O

driver update :confused: the reviews were older than the 388.00 i'm using mmhhh 388.13 worth testing, oh well 34-54 fps is still playable but i fear for the 1440p upgrade then :laugh:

control wise, i find the Xbox one pad agreeable as usual :oops:


scenery and textures are great nonetheless

damn, i'm ugly ... yep a lookalike, except i have less scares ... and a little more rounded cheeks (what did you expect? i do not live in a post apocalyptic world .... not for now... ;) )

@GreiverBlade I almost maxed out, except shadows which I put at just High. I have 55-60 fps. Something is not right on yours. This game does not tax my system at all.

Uninstalled free copy of Watch_Dogs after 20 minutes. The controls feel stupid,the game has pretty bad stutter at times and frankly it looks dated. Only made me wonder how much they improved in WD2 cause I played 90 hrs of it and enjoyed every minute.

Knoxx29 I remember that Hitman level (first 3 screens), took me ages to complete it.

Here's some more spectacular ansel shots in andromeda. what a game.

I'm still playing Witcher 3 and did this weekend the Bank Quest in Blood & Wine (Permit A38). One of the greatest Easter Eggs I have seen in a game. Rarely laughed so hard.

playing Mad Max and getting addicted. Never enough scrap tho, get a big haul, conquer a region; gone in a few clicks on the upgrade menu. Find myself driving forever just to get more. Just one more upgrade man I swear. I can quit anytime I want.

every game should ditch money in favor of scrap. Scrap is awesome.

Benchmark Scores A LOT
Finished andromeda, great game, but the main story is just several 30-ish minutes missions long. If it was longer I'd give it 9/10, but instead it promised a lot with a few great missions and underdelivered. 8/10 IMO.

no more edit, oh well...

Starcraft II Wings of liberty ... good job Blizz that move will even make me consider the 39.99€ campaign collection ... don't really know what did hold me back 7yrs ago to get the game, bad move for some ... i would have gotten HOTS for free instead, if i did get it at launch :laugh:

the music is awesome (for goodness sake ... "Sweet home Alabama" "free bird" starcraft version ... as a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd .... i can only approve :laugh: )

also nostalgic strike ...

that load screen made me shed a tear ...

overkill? nothing is...
Screenshot2017-11-17 23_54_29.jpg

and the in between mission is grandiose ... character design is excellent (even for a 7y.o game) if it was a game "a la" mass effect style .... i would be totally sold, but thanks to it i got re united with my RTS love ... damn i need to re install all my Dawn of War (classic/Winter assault/Dark crusade/Soulstorm) and maybe get a look at DOW II and III (ok maybe not the third ... )

Started playing Bloodborne again on PS4 with my NG+ save as i want play the DLC(The old hunter) and i have to say the frame pacing is so good *sarcasm* that its very noticeable against the giant bosses. Rage quit for the 4th time against the 3rd boss as i did 3 times in my first playthrough before i finally beat it.

I uhhhh...

I installed Deus Ex again guys... and put GMDX on it (Best. Mod. Ever).

Is it normal to do this every year? I'm still finding new secrets and ways to play. Amazing to finally be able to play it at 1080p, monitor upgrade is totally justified now.

I can't wait to go back to Skyrim and Fallout 4 though. I failed no-nut November and finally decided to get a new graphics card after waiting for years after the previous time I got burned by getting a GPU right around the corner on the release of new ones that were unannounced.

I'm going to stay positive for once. Even if net neutrality is going to hell, prices are spiking and my livelihood is being under attack.

I've never installed a mod for DX, may have to give it a reinstall and go again :)

Jumped back into POE for the first time in well over a year, and playing it actively more than I have in a lot longer than that! I'm a level 60 ranger, and outclassed badly. I left it before they completely eliminated the re-runs of the Acts, and when I came back, I breezed thru Acts 4 and 5 rapidly. But then I hit Act 6. and I lost 6 bars of XP in a big-ass hurry. Trying to sort out my gear grinding in the lower areas of this act, and don't really care how much I die. Once I get more solidly survivable, I'll see if I can level once or twice.

After Blizzard changed Starcraft II to a F2P model they offered original owners of Starcraft II the first addon Heart of the Swarm for free. I started playing that and enjoyed it a lot and then decided to buy "Legacy of the Void" for 15 bucks to enjoy it further. Same nice experience as the original game, hollywood like movie entertainment in between and nice gameplay.
