A couple friends of mine have recently got into HoN, I want to join them but cant for the life of me get a key.  As an incentive, naming of my first born is up for grabs!  Got my beta key now. Thanks!

@Soap: I will post one as soon as I get a chance. It's nothing huge or game breaking but it does make you wonder how it got past BioWare quality control. I think it's a left over of concessions made bringing it to consoles.

@demonbear: Please keep your generic, played out,  'there is more to RPGs than graphics' comments to yourself. If you have bothered to read the topic (judging by your irrelevant reply, I assume you haven't) you'd see we're actually praising the game. This topic is about poor, out of place texture work and trying to establish if this a graphics card related problem (which it isn't) or a game design problem ...

@Binman88: Yeah, after checking a few other forums it seems to be by design and not my computer. Not a massive problem but still a shame imo.

So I've started playing the PC version of DAO with all the settings max'ed out. Everything looks great aside from some wood and stone textures that seem to be really low res and out of place.   Anyone else experienced this or is it a problem with my computer?

It's probably because the game was made for consoles in mind. Shame.

@mithhunter55: See my post on the Persona 4 forums for that exact thing. It's basically a custom .pls file (will work fine with XBMC) that will play every Endurance Run episode from start to finish (or you can just skip to a certain episode).

After spending the last couple days playing with the new 'features' Jeff mentioned in his post, I have to agree, how could Microsoft drop the ball like this? For me the biggest dealbreaker was how everything launches its own app. Why haven't they integrated anything into the dashboard? Is this a technical limitation we're not aware of? Can the NXE only have so much 'bloat' at one time? Take Twitter for example, ...

Thanks a lot for the replies lads. Are there any other games on the PS3 similar to this? The FF13 videos look pretty but I'm not really into turn-based combat.

A little while ago I made this topic about looking for a good Action RPG. After watching a few videos and the Gamespot video review, everything about this game has blown me away.  But as mostly a PC gamer (with an Xbox 360 for playing games with my old college friends) I don't have a PS3 yet.  Before I got dropping ~£300 on one, I have a question about the, ...

Thanks a lot guys, so many games here I've never heard of.  @raddevon said: Update: The game is Torchlight. It comes out near the end of October. You might want to check it out. "  Believe me, I've been keeping my eye of Torchlight since it was mentioned on the Bombcast. @MB said: " Titan Quest + Immortal Throne, dude. It's like Diablo 2, only it isn't ten years old. "  ...

I've never been a big fan of RPG's in general, but after being persuaded to play Mass Effect by a friend, I caught the bug.  So far I've played through Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and just recently The Witcher. What I enjoyed the most about all of these was the option to focus on real time action. Hell, in Mass Effect you could pretty much have the computer handle most ...

Direct download link added to first post. Get it here. @JellyFish_Gsus said: " Go easy on me its my first time using VLC; it works fine but is it meant to buffer, that was my problem with the site my internet speed is shite "Yeah the playlist gets the video the same way the site does, so if you normally need to wait a while for it to buffer, nothing will ...

What is it? I'm in the middle of a Giant Bomb API project, but thought I would post part of it here for fellow Endurance Run fans.  This is a Endurance Run Playlist File (.pls) containing links to every episode. The quality is hard coded to 'High'.  It works with most good media players (VLC, BSplayer) and HTPC media centers (tested with XBMC).   Direct download Click here to just ...
