I guess you also unlock artemus too. Ok so there was baldur's gate ,then the sword coast expansion then the shadows of amn expansion then the throne of bhaal expansion. Enter dark alliance not for pc but console now we have dark alliance 2 for xbox. Too much for me. Tried dandd legends like dark alliance 2 better . Got the sniper rifle for silent scope 3 will have to check it out today. Also have an extra gun since house of the dead 3 supports two light guns at the same time. Will check that out too.

So i tried trial version of Temple of elemental evil. I dont care for it. I think it just might be the interface. Like just to get thye guys to move you gotta click on them tell them to move and click somewhere else on the screen. Perhaps it will come to PS2 someday.

I got Temple of Elemental Evil. Recreates first level roleplaying a little tooooooo realistically for me. Annoying and hard to get used to controls, cannot imagine what it works like on a three button controller instead of mouse/keyboard. It is entirely 3.5e to the point of the beloved five foot step and attacks of opportunities. This novelty wears thin as playable lags when you have to click through for guys who cant do anything (as happens often with low level wizards, guys not uncoonscious but away from battle, etc). There is a nifty move action/standard action bar that show you what you are doing per each turn, but it just reminds me why I hated those rules in the first place. I just want to take my turn and not fuddle it up with this junk. Haven't even made it to the Temple yet after couple hours into it. Befriended a tenth level guy though who said he's been there and it makes me wonder what the hell a tenth level guy is doing with me when that is about the sum of my guys levels. Funny shit: when there are NPCs and you find treasure, they take first pick and loot the fucker. Mad skeletons killed, no treasure for me. Mr Level 10 is encumbered up the ass and kept gaffling everything for himself. Bastard. Someday I'll be able to kill his ass. Motivation to keep playing. After all, we all know you can't remove anyone from the group nicely, you have to endure it to the point you want to cut their internal organs out and feed them to birds as they watch, but you just kill off their PC instead and say seeya Charlie, it's been real. Ahh, I am envisioning the woes of my PCs in my absences, tortured and murdered in the sad state of affairs that is NPC-land. haha, I'm tired and babblign like a mother.
I would not yet recommend ToEE gameplay. We'll see it better damn well get better. I mean it's been three years since I bought a computer RPG and this plays worse? WTF? haha, I'm learning the ropes, I'll get this thing sooner or later. I'll update ifit gets better down the road.

I was used to that from other PC RPG I played. But this one is slower at it somehow? My PC is Pentium 4 instead of 3 and I have like twice the memory and all that shit, but this game works slower at moving around town than the other games on the old machine did. The worst is switching between guys. I think there is an easier way to do it, but I keep getting stuck on certain dudes and just having Billy the Barbarisn bluff conversations for me to save myself aggravation of switching people. At least there is no Uni the Unicorn. I have to remind myself that it can always be worse.

Cool.
Maybe i will try to play again. Have not reached The Temple yet. In both versions of the actually module you spend the first few episodes of the supermodule in the area surrounding the town of Hommlet.

Reached the temple. It is pretty cool so far. Keep waiting for Kozar to pop up and attack the party. One peculiarity is the entire lack of reasoning behind going there. The game has two little towns with little annoying adventures - I have already played cupid and matched up three couples in love for "experience" - and the Temple. But you never have a reason to go there nor goal to accomplish, you just go. Baldur's Gate had better progressions, but those were really designed to go from level 1 to ten. This feels forced into that mold. Everything outside the temple is really lame in my book and the mechanics of turns kills me. But I am entertained, though not willing to recommend the game to anyone just yet. The town adventures are so weak and all I seem to be doing in talking to carpenters and converting people to St. Cuthbert and telling people nice things to get XP. Hardly heroic, hardly entertaining. I could see potential in town conversations for real life DnD when you dont have to sit around waiting for little pixels to crawl across town to Joe Bob's house so you can ask Joe Bob for a wooden nickel - in real life this takes a minuto. How true to the real module is this stuff? Are there drinking contests at the bar and do you get forced to marry some dude's daughter like I did? What of Otis and Elmo? Hedrack has been referred to and I recall that name distinctly. I thought he was numero uno baddy?

Completed D&D heroes yesterday. Took about 10 hours total. I liked it ,the bosses were awesome. I may play again as there is four characters to use. I may try another character but it may be much harder. I used the cleric for my adventure and his healing helped me a great deal. Getting ready to check out Draken gaurd looks promosing. There is another resident eveil out called outbreak I will peep that soon too.....

GRAND THEFT AUTO SAN ANREAS That is the name of GTA 5 due out this october. This will be the greatest thing that ever happened. Vice city changed my life forever and now paradise will return to me. The new game will be 5 times larger then the last. It will feature 3 different cities instead of just one. They will be LA SF and Las vegas. The game will be set in 90's with all the appropriate stuff for that. You will be able to go inside virtually all the buildings. The AI will be better and will react approriate to surrounding terrain. What you do in the game will affect you at all times not just on missions. There will be more ability to do what ever you want and simply interact with the world. This is awesome life is good.

hey guys, my roommate rob queen just coped the new star wars battlefront for ps2 . ive been playing it alot and its the diggy bom.its kinda like the star wars version of rainbow six but with really big battles . it also has alot of halo elements like when you find a vehicle or ship you can jump in ande drive around instead of running . in two player mode you can both jump in to the vehicle one person drives while the other operates the turrent. when you star you choose to play the clone wars or the galatic rebelion. in the clone wars you can choose between the clone or droid armies. thier are five kinds of troops in each ,including the destroyer droids(you know the ones with the force fields). i have not played the galatic rebelion yet but i know you can be a wookie crossbowsman. the potentional play on this game is huge and i invite everyone and anyone to come over this week and play.

Star Wars BAttlefront I have played this with larry and it is great. Basically theres a huge battle going on and you are on soldier. If your soldier dies you become another soldier. There are ey points to the battle field which are taken back and fourth. Sometime Vader or Dooku is on the battlefield and they are bad ass. Sometimes luke is there you can run arround with him and bust ass. There is every type of vehicle and you can get in them all. We are talking about buying network hubs for PS 2 so up to 34 people can play in the same battle at once. YES

I want battlefront 2 as well but I can't give up the 50 bones so I will just have to wait till Christmas. I hope it was as challanging as the first. I really like playing a regular rebel trooper vrs the Droids because of the challenge. The regular strom troopers were just to easy to kill. Do the Jedi block blaster shots with their light sabers? Is it hard to kill them? Have you played in Outerspace with the ships yet; and was it cool? In the other game they were'nt so hot.

[glow=red,2,300]The outer space stuff was 100% better. There is a way to block shots with the lightsaber but I have not found it yet. So far I have used Obi-Wan , Boba Fettish, Luke skywalker and Han-Solo. They were all cool. I think that the Bothan spies and Wookie warriors both stink. The clone commander is a bad dude as well as that maganum driods.[/glow]
