    Anyone know if xtravision will sell this, since its after 6? Won't be able to check myself for an hour or so. Tried gamestop and hmv already but no luck. (Cork)

    Couldn't find it anywhere, so i paid for it in Gamestop and will pick it up in 5 hours and 26 minutes.

    Few tweaks here for pc users. Things like FOV and some extra shaders (already :P)

    I have a dilemna, my Macbook Air (when running windows) passes the minimum requirements of this Game (core i5, 2gb Ram, 778mb of VRAM, SSD) , im tempted to go with the steam version, or should I get it for PS3?

    So close... damned slow steam update on an Australian proxy! This could take a while.

    It's only a dilema if you consider a horrible gaming experience on the MBA as an option. And I say that as an MBA owner.

    Game is loaded now. Don't think I want to go messing around with VPNs, unless they're free and very easy to use. Guess I'll wait till tomorrow.

    How Soon Is Now
    Registered Users Posts: 13,125 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    I have this pre ordered from Gamesnash on the 360 as i played Oblivion on xbox only.

    Whats this issue with the graphics now that has been mentioned???

    Did i make a mistake ordering it for the 360 or??

    If you install the game to your 360 hard drive will it fix the problem or.........

    I had doubts about how the ps3 would play this game because of all the problems i had with fallout 3 back when it was first brought to ps3/360.

    I was hoping this was going to be a buggy piece of crap so I could ignore it and play something else. Or more importantly not spend money on it.

    Reading enthusiastic reviews, I don't know if that hope has been replaced by disappointment or excitement. Probably both.

    I'm watching a live stream on ign. They've been playing for hours and now down to the last half hour. They just said that there's no difference between xbox+ ps3 so long as you install the game into your xbox...

    I want this game baaaaad..

    Stream..

    It's not awful buggy at the start at least. It is ****ing massive though. You do the tutorial and then bam here's the world do what you want. It's a shame that combat is so pants and I can't point out how bad it is. I actually like the UI system they have now pursists will call it consolised but I think it's fast and effective for the most part.

    I sow review today and it really looked like beefed up oblivion.


    I am not trolling, just asking.

    I really disliked oblivion with passion. Level scaling and souless world was just killing me. Is it same here again? Is there that stupid scaling again?

    I really liked the skill, not level based system. ( reminds me of ultima online )

    I don't know haven't gotten that far. But it just doesn't feel right. Games like Dark Messiah have done it better in how blows should weigh and feel. Here it feels so fake you run up to someone and constantly click to they die (They hardly notice unless they go below 15 percent health). It just doesn't feel right at all which is a shame cause their is SO much stuff to like. Hell ill put 100 hours into this game but this is one thing that will drive me mad.

    I actuolly noticed that in review. It looks like there are no impact physics. It's like swigging air till monsters drop.
