Lucky one :P

RF2 gamesheet says ATI/AMD and NVidia cards with DirectX10/10.1 are not supported. So does RF2 have some serious issues with modern PCs (GPU)?

EDIT: Ah, I see there is already some discussion about it... Fjuck, I went ahead and bought them from Steam. I should have known better. Oh well, I still have some older PCs too with WinXP. Let's see if RF2 is DRM-free so I can play it on those PCs, even when Steam client eventually drops support for WinXP and won't run in it.

The Pure Faction community patch should fix RF1 for modern PCs*. There's a fan patch for RF2 that supposedly works with the steam release. I've never tried it, I don't know enough about Steam to feel comfortable changing bytes in executables with steam drm.

Pure Faction
Red Faction 2 steam patch

*Even if RF1 seems to work unpatched, there's also the potential for a subtle timing error that can block your progress in the SP campaign. A submarine that needs to be deployed from a crane will just explode or something.

Thanks, I'll check those out.

Just noticed Sacred 2 Gold (yeah, I'm slow) on sale on STEAM for $6.50. Anyone got an opinion? For reference, I really enjoyed the original but heard the sequel was quite a different sort of game? I'm usually not a "Diablo Clone" fan, but I spent months in Sacred back in the day. Still thought FATE and TORCHLIGHT are far superior. Those two are really the only other ones I've ever "clicked with" (sorry, that was terrible).

Here is something for donate what you want:

1st person adventure - donation ware.
I haven't played it yet but it's discussed at RockPaperShotgun.
Episode 1 is already several years old but
episode 2 just came out recently and
episode 3 funds are now being collected.

Is this like a adventure game renaissance period we are going through? Seems to be heaps coming out of woodworks and kickstarter etc

It is not the best diablolike, but it is damn fun. It has an awesome sense of fun, and unique character classes (and species).

Hell one of the characters is a silly cyborg anubis dog thing with a megaman arm. That makes linux jokes after killing enemies.

Enormous world AND blind guardian appear in it

In my opinion it's the best Diablo-Like however the PC version doesn't feature the game pad support that the XBox version does.

If you have a mappable D-Input controller like Logitech you can map keyboard and mouse. You use WASD to move but still have to click on what you want to attack so sort of sloppy.

I've heard people say that pads wouldn't work well with Diablo-Likes but have also been playing R.A.W. (another Diablo-Like) which was specifically designed for game pads and I have to say it gives the genre ALOT more depth than just pointing and clicking.
