Ive been playing through ds1 and you wait till I reach level 10 to tell me theres a fix for the mouse lag - you swine

ps: the game cheated on me
I entered a room with a load of dead bodies and I thought to myself I bet soon one of those creatures will appear that re-animate dead bodies and i will end up having to fight them, so using telekinesis I removed them all and dumped them onto the train tracks. then when I entered the room later the creature appeared in the room and the game had put all the bodies back

Really?? ehehe, now that's a good way to **** up with the player LOL.

[Turambar]

I never remove the bodies, i stomp their legs off instead.  Then, when i come back, the room is full of legless zombies.  It's actually pretty funny.

I'm thinking of getting on board the waaagh train, is this a good place to hop on?

The new xpac is the only place to hop on. DoWII/Chaos Rising used GFWL, and it was awful. Connection problems out the ass, voice chat was irredeemably broken, the matchmaking wasn't great. New one uses steam and should address all those problems. As well, since it'll be using steam, it is not backward compatible, which means the only reason to buy the old ones is if you want the singleplayer campaigns. Which...okay, CR is worthwhile, DoWII is merely okay.

Man, ammo in this game is a b*tch on Zealot I recently got past a small locked room where 5 necromorphs spawn that I entered with only 3 shots of PC. I died a lot in that room. I have learned that kinesis spam is your friend.

But yeah, I far prefer this game to the first one, so far, but I hear there are issues with false difficulty on Zealot in the later chapters.

what i dont get about the DS2 DLC: all the suits and weapons, even the ones from that prequel the pc-gamers will never get ("extraction" or something like that), are already shipped with the game. theres no real "DLC", a simple hex-edit of a save game unlocks every suit and weapon possible. the ones from the DLCs, the ones you can get if you have a DS1 savegame on your HD and the ones you can get by playing through "extraction" (or whatever it is called).
granted, you will not find the schematics for that suits and weapons (anyone really believes there will be a patch for the elite suits bug? i dont), but you can buy them at the stores.

that hacked savegame is exactly as big as the normal savegames are, so theres no way new models or skins are embedded in it somehow.

and thats what i dont get. if you buy one of those "DLCs", you simply buy a code that unlocks those things on your machine. whats so hard to make it work for PCs? dont they wanna have the extra money?

[Ransom]

They want to emphasise the console versions as having access to more content, maybe? Dunno. That is weird.

[starbug]

That sucks if the console's are going to have more content, i remember EA promising that PC players would get the same content as console players. This is what i don't get, why ignore pc players when if you look at the figures (including digital purchase) PC gaming is very much alive! Come on Visceral, give us the content to an awesome game!

[starbug]

HAHAHAHAHAHa i have found a saved game that allows PC players to unlock the DLC content. It would appear that all the DLC was included in the PC version but was locked and this saved game unlocks the content and it works!!!!!! HAHA take that EA

Link removed before EA shuts it down

Edit I am not sure if its ok to post this link, if not i apologise and admins remove the link if i have broken any rules. link removed

[CooperHawkes]

dont know if its a good idea to post that link. after all it provides free access to content you should pay for.
that savegame was available through a post in the official EA forum for several days (says something about their moderators, doesnt it?) which was deleted, too.

maybe you should discuss such links in personal messages?

also: have a look at reply #24.

Like CooperHawkes said, the issue is PC players can't pay for it. The saved game is the only way to unlock it.

[CooperHawkes]

broad hints, broad hints.

-all the suits and weapons are already shipped with the game
-a simple hex-edit unlocks
-you will not find the schematics  but you can buy them at the stores
-exactly as big as the normal savegames

my knowledge about that savefile should tell you something about my relation to it.

If you add:

discuss such links in personal messages
not a good idea to post that link

maybe you'll get the idea what i tried to say without using the actual words.

dont know if its a good idea to post that link. after all it provides free access to content you should pay for.

Like CooperHawkes said, the issue is PC players can't pay for it. The saved game is the only way to unlock it.

A quote of mine gets corrected by what i said. Anyway:
You said it, that content isnt meant to be accessed on PC. All the other platforms have to pay to access it. It may be a bit of a gray area because savegame editing isnt forbidden, but still: you are unlocking content others have to pay for. No matter what we think about not making it accessable on PC, i bet EA doesn't like the sharing of that savegame one bit:

a post in the official EA forum which was deleted

Believe me, im lauging my ass off because of EAs stupidity. If you dont want some specific content to be unlocked: remove it from the game! Otherwise its just a matter of time till someone hacks it.
Still, if you dont provide links like that publicly, but talk about them in personal messages, theres no way for EA to harm this forum. I dont believe any EA employee watches this forum, but its better to be on the safe side.

haha, whoops. didn't check the usernames. derp

[CooperHawkes]

**** happens .

to get back on topic: i liked the game. i had to turn off the music, because most of the time it gave away too much (like there are still enemies around somewhere, or "uhoh, music is getting hectic, something is about to happen"), but overall i enjoyed it. a bit more zero-g-combat would have been nice.

[Kolgena]

But but the violin agitatos. So trademark.
