Kinbote Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 I didn't like KOTOR, and I don't even care for Star Wars, but if Obsidian are making KOTOR 2, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. When push comes to shove, it isn't so much the setting of a game that matters to me, as it is the quality of the creative talent (and, of course, the freedom with which they're allowed to exercise it). As for what settings I'd like to see if I had my druthers.... I have always thought an rpg set in ancient Greece would be a natural. I'd also like to see a pure science fiction game. A post-apocalyptic setting would be fine, but only if the creators managed to make it seem original...I wouldn't want a game that's obviously trying to be Fallout.
Equus Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Oh.. Settings. Well, I'd like something different like Urban Fantasy or 30's-50's pulp ficton/comic book RPG. I suspect it'll be sci-fi or classic fantasy though. *sighs*
mkreku Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 a good super hero rpg. You should try "Super Hero League Of Hoboken" which is a great, but old, game. Otherwise there's always "Freedom Force" where you create your own super heroes and even add their special skills and stuff. Great RPG actually. Much newer and it has good 3D graphics. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Iolo Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Freedom Force is really fun and you can get it very cheap these days. Some people have said they picked it up for between $5-$10. It is short but at that price it is still worth it, providing that you don't find the game too cheesy as alot of the dialogue and plots are intended to be very Silver Age comic style. I wouldn't think of Freedom Force as an RPG and more of a squad based tactics game with some RPG elements. The RPG elements are how you decide to build up the superheroes and their powers after they join your team, decided from a set list of possible superpowers that hero could have. The game is also very linear and is mission based. I should note that you don't directly create your own superheros in FF and I never did. What you do is create them outside of the main campaign and they receive some sort of score or prestige points. Once you have that amount ingame (from playing with the regular characters and completing missions), you can import that superhero character into the main game. Otherwise, you just decide how to advance the super hero characters that join your team in game but that's still fun.
Zahadome Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 I would like an sci-fi rpg in which melee fighting compares to ranged. Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic II anyone?
Shadowstrider Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Melee combat doesn't "compare" to ranged in KotOR... it topples it over and has its way with it.
Volourn Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 And, then some. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Zahadome Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 Well perhaps I should have said it the otherway round. Anyway, I would like them to be equally good. Not entirely the same, but good in their own ways.
mkreku Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Am I the only one who believe they are working on Planescape: Torment 2? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Oerwinde Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Am I the only one who believes they are working on Planescape: Torment 2? Yes The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Shadowstrider Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Am I the only one who believes they are working on Planescape: Torment 2? If they are, I will buy you a copy.
Berserk Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 I'd like to see some steampunk for once......
Diogo Ribeiro Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Am I the only one who believe they are working on Planescape: Torment 2? Yes. Specially because a developer (I believe it was Chris, but I might be wrong), stated that he felt the story arch of the Nameless One had reached an end. Which I defintely agree with. I wouldn't mind seeing another game in the same setting, with the same depth as PS:T, but lets not bring back TNO. And lets not venture into the realms of sub-products like "Morte: The Flesh Years", or "Fall-From-Grace does Baator".
deganawida Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Steampunk would be nice. I also like the idea of a Western CRPG, especially one where you can be Native (just include more than just the Dakota, please).
Shadowstrider Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Deadlands is what you're looking for, Deganawida.
