Isn't each fortress actually made up of several levels? I got the impression that the demo was part of the first fortress and had a few levels from the start.
I don't think each individual level is a separate fort. Could be wrong, though.
Ah, if that's the case it's an instant purchase. Now I need to go find out.
If you find out...let me know! I'm really liking the looks of this game. Still enjoying Sanctum right now, in fact.
Everything I've read leads me to believe that each fortress is a level, leaving you with 24 throughout the campaign. Unfortunately I can't find anything solid to back that with, I'm just making that assumption based on the way a number of previews read. I thought I'd found the answer at one point, only to realize I had Googled my way back to this thread.  |

How long did the 3 from the demo take you to get through?
I was probably in the game for a total of 30 minutes, and some of that was spent messing around with settings and getting my bearings. My best guess is that I spent 20 minutes or so actually playing.
I'm sure the game has replay value, with an unlockable difficulty and upgrades for the traps, but I'm not sure the length justifies $15. I may wait for a sale to push it under $10 before I buy. |

Yup, the demo is a lot of fun. My only question at this point is around the length of the game. I'm going to have to do a little research to see if it's been mentioned anywhere.
Beware of V-Sync. I turn it on out of habit, and it added some input lag for me. Everything was fine once I switched it off, and I didn't see any noticeable tearing during gameplay. |

| Dead Island, The Witcher 2 and Deus Ex are all high on my to-buy list, but I've already got the rest of the year booked with Battlefield 3, Skyrim and *crosses fingers* Torchlight 2. I also continue to buy indie titles which lays claim to the rest of my free moments. I just grabbed The Binding of Isaac, which is a good game wrapped in a really disturbing theme. |

...but I'm seeing more and more discontent here about they crap that goes on due to lax moderation, so I'm going to tighten things up a bit out of respect for those of you who don't need to be policed to act like adults, and that will be the first step.
This is a welcome step. I've taken to avoiding the comments lately for that very reason. It's sad to say, but when someone said "Welcome to Blue's News" regarding this thread, I couldn't help but agree. While some moderation will help, I think we all need to make an effort to improve the discussion around here. I'd hate to have people start abandoning the site simply because we can't control ourselves.

Regarding Rage, what are the thoughts on the game? It's iDs first direct production in awhile, and while I'd love to have it on day one I haven't yet purchased it. I'm still smarting from the mistake that was Brink; a Bethesda published game with a $60 price tag makes me wary now.
As for Carmack getting out, I think it's great. I'd be in line if I was anywhere near the area. It'd be better for us PC gamers if he did it at a different store, but brick & mortar PC game stores just don't exist anymore. |

I want to be excited for this, but every time I see the game in action I can't help but think 'meh'.
I think they would have been better off doing another KotOR or something similar, but that's just me. I'll wait to see what people think of ToR before I decide. |

I'd actually planned on grabbing this over Torchlight 2, and then picking up TL2 later on. It looks like they'll be spaced out enough where I can get both now--provided Torchlight 2 doesn't slip.
Still, I'm terrified of what will happen during the winter Steam sale. My wishlist is going to get a LOT longer before the end of the year... |

I don't want to hear about it until the gone gold announcement. Knowing Valve Time like we all do, an announcement that comes any sooner will leave us all waiting for several years. |

Funny, I recently began a campaign to play and finish both of the games since they'd been sitting on my list for a long time. Finished Dead Space, and while it's good the controls are so damn irritating I'll never play it again. I'm about 1/3 of the way through Dead Space 2, and I'm enjoying it a great deal more thanks to the control fixes and game play tweaks. I'll definitely be playing through DS2 at least once more.
The two things that irritated me with Dead Space 2 so far: DRM bull; log-ins, contacting server failures, etc is all incredibly annoying until it's set up. The other glaring issue wasn't with the game directly: I got the game free though Origin, and attempting to change resolution in the settings with the Origin overlay running will result in a blank screen every time. That one had me throwing a fit until my google-fu finally kicked in. |

I can't remember where I'd seen it, but it was said that it was not coming to Steam immediately upon release. They'd also promised to try to provide Steam integration for existing owners if/when the game does get added to Steam.
Now I need to go buy this. |

If the load times are less or equal, does it matter where the server browser runs? For that matter, if it's better than the typical DICE browser (which won't take much), isn't that a good thing?
Sometimes I swear PC gamers have a built-in "Change is Bad!" reflex.
Do I like Origin right now? No. It is, however, where I can get BF3, therefor it is installed and BF3 is preordered. While everyone else is whining about a browser-based server browser, or Origin, I'll be playing and having fun. |

Agreed. Had a blast with it, and with everything maxed out and an insane amount of action on the screen it still ran buttery smooth.
I'm still grinning just thinking about the final battle in the demo. I have a fondness for indirect fire weapons, so I went in with the electrical mortar and the grenade launcher--that's the kind of fun we haven't had in FPS games in quite some time. |

I already have my copy pre-ordered--through Origin. The game was pretty much a guaranteed purchase, so I figured I'll at least try the Origin service out and see what it's like, and get a few shiny extras in the process.
The only thing I'm really hoping they either remove or modify is the spotting system. In the Alpha it was identical to the system in Bad Company 2, and I bloody hate it. They could add a cool-down to the spotting, make it mini-map only, or even make it a fixed position marker....just, anything to keep it from acting as a spammable all seeing eye. |

I need to try the controller on my next playthrough. There's some specialized movement toward the end of the game that I think would have been less irritating with the controller. |

Just.....wow.
I was already sold, now I'm chomping at the bit.
EA got me a week ago, on Origin, when they said "Hey, we'll give you all this cool pre-order stuff, and a free copy of Dead Space 2." I couldn't help myself at that point.  |

I'll take them both. And I'm betting I enjoy them. As someone said last week (and the quote above mentions) once you just think of D3 as a MMO (and plan your purchase accordingly), it takes the sting out...
Agreed. All the recent news of both sucked me back into Torchlight, which I'm once again having a blast with. It makes the waiting easier.  |
