....I can't keep this up.... so here's the gen on Risen 2 Dark Waters. Erm...the popcorn will be here shortly once Alf finishes his costume preparations....
Risen 2: Dark Waters is a Caribean pirate themed single player action rpg.
Released for Microsoft Windows April 2012, and due on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 3rd August 2012.
The monsters from the deep you encountered in the first title have pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Rumours suggest the pirates of the Southern Islands know a way to stop this terror. Now a member of the Inquisition, you are sent out to end the chaos.
You play the nameless hero from the first game, starting with a basic stat sheet and an automatic levelling system you must earn and spend experience points to develop your skills. Risen 2 steers away from the "faction" element of it's predecessor to attempt a more focussed storyline and it's now got guns instead of the old crossbows.
Unfortunately the Windows version got a mixed reception with Metacritic awarding a 69% from 51 critic reviews.

It was an easy mistake to make...

Greetings dear Bickle :)
Played the first title, but didn't like been shoved into a bandits faction at the very start of the game, and I remember leveling up and fighting was a learning curve too steep for me.
May wait until comes in at the "affordable" level, though still haven't graduated to online purchases and my local game stores have a bit of a pricing monopoly going...
Currently replaying the Mass Effect series with all the DLC content I was too miserly to pickup at the time...
Now let me treat you to some virtual beluga caviar I've been meaning to try out.....
Alf!!!!
Ooh beluga caviar, the rarest and costliest of the caviars no less! My thanks! Heres to bar wenches and multiple Mass Effect trilogy playthrus!!
...never had caviar before... *slighly worried face*
no mr.Bickle tis fine, I've got the registration number for the truck it fell off, plus....
(takes out syringe..)
this vial of Adrenaline just in case anyone goes into anaphylactic shock..
Plus.. Alf is a trained first aider... aren't you Alf?
(takes the working end of a stethoscope out of his mouth...)
(POP!!!)
Yes.. yes I am trained.. yes indeed no worries...
:)
(looks at syringe, looks at stethoscope, looks back at syringe)
Er... I'm afraid I must take my leave to attend... er... an urgent matter that's suddenly just cropped up... or something...
(bows... backs slowly out of door... )
:(
oh dear... what a shame..
(Looks at caviar...shouts out to the departing Bickle...)
No worries I'll freeze it til your back next time...
