Kaftan Barlast Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I just got this and although I havent come very far it reminds a lot of Deus Ex except nonlinear and much less annoying(you hit what you aim for but the damage is so-so and the basic gun holds only 5 bullets!?). It is a B-league game though, no doubt about it. Has anyone else tried it? What did you think, is it worth playing?

EnderAndrew Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 The reviews I've seen from RPGDOT have been less than stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yeah, I understand the game is virtually unplayable without the 80mb patch. Thats what you get if you have a B-league studio take water above their heads with something like this. But it seems like it has a lot of potential.

mkreku Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I've played it and I've enjoyed it a lot. But it's much closer to Gothic than [insert Bioware title of your own choice here] so you're bound to NOT like it (or even give it a fair chance). Just uninstall it right now and spare us another thread ranting about how bad your recent purchase is and how good Planescape: Torment was. Ps. For the ones who do care about these types of games: Deep Shadows are working on a patch to improve the stiff vehicle physics! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Who's being prejudiced here, really? " And thus far, my impression of it is far better than that dodgy pile of generic fantasy lard named Gothic. The stiffness is a problem though, its quite apparent that the engine isnt exactly top grade.

Dhruin Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Boiling Point is well worth a look - a very ambitious game with a lot of interesting ideas, even if Deep Shadows had trouble pulling everything off. The next patch has a pretty cool list of fixes. I also agree with mkreku -- you won't like it so so just stop playing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakron Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I guess its time for me to buy it .... Thanks mkreku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just a quick update: Boiling Point: Road To Hell patch v2.0 A tiny little patch, only ~197 Mb I am downloading it myself right now, so I haven't been able to try it yet, but the changelog mentions lots of fixes. The best ones are: "-Car dynamics / helicopter dynamics Cars : better realism when a car hits the player or the -Non Playable Character, better behaviour of IA in trucks or cars. -Car's disappearance" When you parked a car, it used to just disappear when you walked too far from it. Highly annoying. Apparently the car stays put now. Also, everything had a very stiff feel to it when you drove it, I'm hoping they have fixed that. But I saved the best change for last though: "-Shadows of dogs" No idea what it means, but it was fixed. Yay! :D Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 First an 80mb patch and then a 200mb patch on top of that?! Well, I guess it means that they're trying atleast.
