Evening Reading
by Xav de Matos, Feb 22, 2011 5:00pm PSTSo close. Can you feel it? NewShackCity is just around the corner and I can prove it with the amount of coffee I've consumed over the last few days. Or weeks and months, I should say.
It's important to note that we're not just going to change everything around here and walk away. NewShackCity is going to see things added and made even better over time. When the new site goes live, poke around and let us know what you think.
We genuinely want to hear everything you have to say about it. If it's constructive, your opinion can help shape the future of this brave new world. We're always listening to the most important people around: our community.

My only problems with Dead Space was the "horror". Monster appears behind you, monster jumps from ceiling, lights go off, etc, too much of that. I wish there was a bit more eternal darkness influence, more of a Cosmic Horror/Lovecraftian thing going on. There are hints of it but the game missed out on Epic status because of the childish horror it has.

I have to go to Manhattan tomorrow for work. Anything cool I should do? Do taxicabs take credit cards? Should I wear pants?

Positives:
-overall feels like a DA game
-graphics engine is much-improved (even with its more "cell-shaded", cartoon-like looks)
-lots and lots of blood and gibs!
-the rogue class (both melee and ranged) feels more fun to play
Not sure:
-the simplified dialog tree. There are less choices and demo does not currently "care" what choice you make, so not sure how the retail game will reflect this change...
-the simplified GUI (hotbars/inventory/skilltrees) It really feels very simplistic, but it doesn't seem to "gimp" my gameplay in any significant way
Dislikes:
-the character's "cutscene" animations are still pretty poor
-the in-game character's animations (running/fighting) and their speed feel like I'm playing JRPG
-the "blight" creatures are now dressed like Lord Marshal from "Chronicles of Riddick" :-/
-Flemeth looks like Alexstrasza?

1.) Guild Perks are changeable by any officer.
2.) Invites can be given out by any guild member other than Family and Friends (see below)
3.) Officer positions are available only to Shackers who have been posting for at least one year. Family and friends are welcome, but outsiders won't be elected over Shackers. This will never change, especially when the guild starts higher level raiding.
4.) If you invite a family member or friend, have an officer assign them the "Family and Friend" rank. Players at this rank are entitled to all rights and privileges as other guild members expect they cannot hold office or invite new members.
5.) The same code of conduct that applies in the comment section of the shack applies to the guild. That's plenty of wiggle room, don't be a raving cock in chat.
When you get in game, do a /join shacknews and ask for an invite.
Be excellent to each other.

Went with kb/mouse and only had one complaint. During the end fight when you have to tap the spacebar I found it very hard to press it fast enough to do what needed to be done. Plugged in a 360 pad and one shotted the fight due to tapping A being so much easier.
tl;dr - bring on arkham city!
