That's supposed to be a secret! Ahhh!!!!
Ixamyakxim: I hope you enjoyed my handy handbook. Yes, I had a long day :) Yes, I do all this and YES I enjoyed typing all that FAR too much ;) An interesting, entertaining and informative read! However I must admit that I'm lucky enough that the pooch did it on a tiled floor rather than carpet.
superstande: Okay. Thanks for a thorough Risen 2 description... hope you got it on discount at least.
The hack'n'slash thing... Seems it's difficult to make the combat really interesting in 3rd person games, in such a way that it keeps being interesting till the end. Even Witcher 1, although a great game, at some point the fights were a bit ... dull.
But if it's just that punching the button sort of thing... After a few games it starts to became really boring, at least in my opinion. Although Risen 1 has been lots of fun, the next game has to be a lot different if I'm going to play anything 3rd person... Maybe Mass Effect 1 ... or possibly a point'n'click game :) I actually think that description was a bit sloppy haha. I'll just say...Risen 2 changed some of the things I really liked about the first game, and I'm not too in love with the new coat of paint (that being the pirate setting). That said, I'm sure I would enjoy it FAR more if they had just kept the fighting system as it was, because the writing is still fun and the world looks pretty enough.
