Re: Gothic 3 - dig it up?

Thanks, that's a pretty glowing recommendation. I'm downloading the patch right now, I think I may at least install and give it another run with the patch.

I hated Oblivion, never finished it, never will. Quite enjoyed Risen, and yes I love traditional RPGs.

Re: New PC Gaming Company

Thanks again all. The dream is still that, a dream, but it's getting a thorough consideration. Many, many factors to mull over and we're all at different stages in our careers.

I'll definitely let everyone know if we decide to launch this venture though.

Cheers,
Chris

Gothic 3 - dig it up?

I'm in between games right now, just finished a few, waiting for some new releases...and I dug up a copy of Gothic 3, which I had purchased but never really played. I installed it and tried it out briefly but it had some bugs. I ended up playing Risen instead.

So the question is...there's a ...

Gecko, this sounds awesome.

One thing I would like to solicit though is about language (keep it on the down low, please).

Other than that I would gladly support your endeavorer. Entrepreneurs FTW!

Re: New PC Gaming Company

"Would you be interested in a PC-style RPG game in the vein of older titles like the Baldur's Gate series?" I think everyone already knows the answer to that.


That's exactly what I am hoping for. :wink:

Re: New PC Gaming Company

That is the crux of it. A small, but dedicated, core customer base. Keeping overhead and production costs low to offset the lower income.

We believe you don't need a massive studio or Patrick Stewart voice-overs to make a great game. Why do people still play a game as dated as Deus Ex? I ...

Although, I'm not 30+ (I'm 21), I think this sounds like a really great idea. I am also sick of console ports think better games should be available. Theres not a whole lot I could contribute other than a few bucks here and there, but I do think it would be awesome.

Thank you for the input! We ...

New PC Gaming Company

Hi all,

As some of you may have seen from my earlier posts, I've toyed with the idea of starting a gaming company. I have taken the idea further and am considering it seriously now. I've got some partners involved and we're testing the waters.

This forum has members who are both passionate ...

well i ended up getting it for $499, so far so good, the extra desktop space sure is welcome

i have 2 questions, how do i tell which revision it is, and which color mode is recommended?

I use Adobe RGB for pretty much everything. The sRGB mode will give the most accurate color space out ...

Yep, I also killed Alistair. Ditto that Conjurer fooker. A few other fights later in the game were a lot harder than the Archdemon was.

Re: IPS Vs TN Screen

Another point is that, on larger screens (23"+), the limited viewing angles of TN panels become VERY apparent. I briefly had a Samsung 24" before I bought my Dell and I couldn't look at it. It was brutal. Unless you stared at the dead centre all the time, the color shifts and contrast were horrible ...

Re: System build - recommend me the details.

Nice screen!

How is the anti-glare coating? Aggressive/noticeable?

I am happy with my U2410 overall, other than the anti-glare, which I find quite aggressive. I'm wondering how the ZR24w stacks up in this regard?

Re: Morrowind Graphics Extender

That looks awesome. Might be time to re-play.

Morrowind is one of my favorite games ever. Such an original world, well-written. Quests could be difficult at times, loved the Easter eggs everywhere. Landscape and sounds were enchanting.

I loved wandering into caves and not knowing if I'd ...
