The shift in settings between the two games is very jarring.to the point where R2 seems. Metacritic Game Reviews, Risen 2: Dark Waters for Xbox 360, Set several years. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases. I heartily reccommend playing Risen at some point, but don't think its a prerequisite for starting Risen 2. Try Win7 compatibility mode.A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. I'm now running these mods for which I used the Mod Installer: AntiWarp, Unofficial Patch, LoD Distance Mod Final and Guns and Glory Balancing 1.0.ĮDIT: I also posted this on WorldOfPlayers / WorldOfRisen : It might be related to the fact that these reinstallations did not take effect until I restarted, though it's weird that the game was working before I did it. Strangely, after restarting my PC (I've tried a lot of things including reinstalling the game, repairing or uninstalling&repairing PhysX, installing DirectX or VC Redistributable (the latter three can be found in the 'redist' folder where Risen is installed by Steam), it. The game DOES work without mods)Ĭould someone give me a hint as to why this happens?Īlso, are there any other recommended mods (which do not alter the gameplay, just bugfixers / balancers)? Also, I noticed some review of the game says 'overpowered weapons' is this true? Are there any mods which make them weaker or something? I actually didnt like Risen 1 too much, but since I liked Risen 2 I didnt mind supporting that company. I enjoyed Risen 2s story without knowing anything about Risen 1. (Also, I tried all kinds of PhysX, DirectX, VCRedist reinstall shenanigans, but to no success. No, I played Risen 2 before Risen 1 and Risen 2 is a stand alone story and I was good with it. If I remove the mods, then the game starts, so it's not a Windows-related problem, I assume. I am using the Steam version with all DLCs. However, the game simply does not launch: I get a black screen for a while and then it exits. I tried installing AntiWarp and the Unoffical Patch 0.5, both simultaneously and alone, both with ModStarter and without. Originally posted by McDunald's:Hello there, Thanks to Agent Smith for that possible solution: And I also downloaded latest Legacy PhysX. I believe that it is not only case of Alienware Sound Center - there are probably plenty of similar apps branded by other manufactures.Īnd note, I still need to use above "refreshrate" fix - I set 60, because laptop panel refresh rate is 60 Hz. Because it might prevent the game accessing to audio. So my point is, that also audio might be the issue and if you tried above and it not helped, check for some "enhancing" app packed to your sound driver. So I guess yeah, if you can and feel like, play Risen 1 before 2 it will be more immersive that way. They will often talk about previous events so you might feel a bit lost but all that is backstory. However there are alot of Risen 1 references, some characters are from R1. I closed the damn app and game finally started. I did not play Risen 1 before 2 and it was ok story wise. It is an "enhancing" software producing various sound effects packed with audio driver (Realtek ALC3266 in my case). Xplane 11) have no sound issue when Alienware Sound Center is running. I was trying above fixes and also other which I found on internet but nothing helped. I have Alienware 17R4 laptop with Nvidia 1060.

This volume brought back so many memories of the show for me and reminded me of just how much I loved it- even with the jump scares.īut The Walking Dead doesn’t only focus on the gore of killing zombies, it also explores how people deal with extreme situations and how these events CHANGE them. I absolutely loved the first two seasons of The Walking Dead, so I decided why not give the comic books a chance. This review contains *spoilers* for both the tv show (season 1 &2) and the graphic novel. Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: So maybe The Walking Corpses are better than I can perceive, although I am still absolutely not sure about how far to read this series regarding the limited options, especially compared to many other series that have aliens and dwarfs in the mix. I am absolutely not sure about my ability to assess characterization, because I don´t really care about that as long as the story is awesome. Just maybe (bloody lie!) I am too plot, action, meta, and complex world building prone to fully enjoy too much character focused art and writing. It´s just not possible to endlessly produce new, fresh, and especially credible plots with the always similar storylines, instead, it goes towards necromantic human flesh made soap opera some people might love, because I can luckily still detect my There can´t be that much science fantasy in it, because many readers expect it to be more realistic survival, which leads to the suspension of disbelief backlash problem, looking at you, Resident evil with fantasy and magic attempts. I love everything zombie, movies, novels, games, but there is, as said, a big problem with the limitation of this setting. This happens later in the series: First growing a beard, then again losing it in redundancy and repetition It of course doesn´t have to end so disastrously as with Game of Thrones, although one can see the problem and conflict potential by the sheer loads of both graphic novels and seasons that just can´t permanently satisfy each individual post apocalyptic wet dream. Seriously, I wonder how this would have evolved and how big it would have become without the TV series.Īs so often, different fandoms clash and quarrel, even playing with the option of full fandom wars. A prime example of how restrictive genre conventions can be. Warning, I now want to drivel a bit about the problems I have with the long running of not just this series, but many famous trademarks/franchises in general.ġ93 comic books and 11 seasons (3 watched 10 years ago) of The Walking Dead show that general fiction, horror, and thriller have a big problem compared with big sci fi and fantasy series, which can play with close to all tropes and genres and mix whatever imaginable. That´s why it´s often spiced with the philosophy of groups or individuals to fuel some extra character focused conflict. So it´s mostly just superficial because the complex systems criticized in other genres don´t exist here anymore and it´s more anarchy, tribalism, and barter than macroeconomicing the heck out of Friedman and Keynes. Political, economic, and ideological content can be put in the armored zombie cracking truck engineīut, it can´t get as complex as in satires or sci-fi, because most of it is just at a steampunk level with some left high tech that makes the owners the big wigs. First, as small and later growing groups, until the big „let´s rebuild/build a better society/ establish a terrible dictatorship, etc.“ instinct kicks in and gives it a bit more meta complexity because now It´s not really that much about secret special recipes for preparing brains, but about how people from different socioeconomic backgrounds develop after the apocalypse. Separated from his family, he must now sort through all the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son.Įdition MSRP: $9⁹⁹ US (ISBN 978-1-58240-672-5)ĭeath often comes with felt eternity, especially in long running series like this one, Resident evil, and similar stuffĮstablishing backstories to prepare future conflicts A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. How many hours are in a day when you don't spend half of them watching television? When is the last time any of us really worked to get something we wanted? How long has it been since any of us really needed something that we wanted? |
