Judge Hades Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Gothic 2 is not a bad game. Sure it can be monotonous at times, story isn't anything special,..., but it is still a very good game, and worth playing. I would like to know which RPGs are good by your opinion? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hated Gothic 2. I couldn't make my own character, the controls were horrid, the combat uber lame. Third worse game I have ever played. As for my favorite games (not just CRPGs) there are Fallout 1 and 2, Planescape Torment, The WIng Commander series, the Lunar Series, Jade Empire, Halo, Halo 2, Doom 3, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale 1 and 2, and the Ultima series minus 8 and 9.
Planeswalker Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 The FalloutsPlanescape: Tormet KoTOR 1 & 2 Baldurs Gate 2 +ToB Vampire Bloodlines Arcanum ..and I also liked NWN, the OC had its flaws but it was still better than anything the jerries could do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All great games, with exception of NWN which had totaly inconvincing story and characters.

Third worse game I have ever played. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I got used to controls in time, but combat was lame indeed, especially because it was hard and you couldn't go anywhere without having to fight your way trough dozens of wolfs, giant bees, etc. But the world and characters of Gothic II seem pretty alive, which is the thing that many RPGs(and other games) can't deliver. Characters look and sound like they should, and all have diferent personalities. They live their lives in a real way, and treat you diferently, with more or less respect, depending on how you treat them or some people that they know, or depending on the fraction you join. And it isn't implemented just cosmeticly like in some RPGs, in Gothic every character will have diferent comments and reactions, and it will always look very real. Also graphic design was great, with perfectly real morphology of mountains, hills, rivers, lakes, forests, villages, and farms, that are a work of art just for itself(this last thing wouldn't be important at all if the game wasn't good, but since it is good it just makes her better).
Plano Skywalker Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 three biggest problems with Morrowind: * too much walking around * dialogue was totally flat * no cinematic cutscreens Oblivion is supposed to have rideable mounts and full voice-over....that should help a lot.
mkreku Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Oblivion is supposed to have rideable mounts and full voice-over....that should help a lot. Yeah, I never understood why they removed the horses when they made Morrowind. I mean Daggerfall had horses, and I had plenty of fun with them too! Riding around inside stores going 100 MPH is always a blast. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Yeah, I never understood why they removed the horses when they made Morrowind. I mean Daggerfall had horses, and I had plenty of fun with them too! Riding around inside stores going 100 MPH is always a blast. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably because DaggerFall didnt have a third person view. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

While walking so much sucks, this also sucks IMO: * Recall to point A * Boat to point B * Alsami's Intervention to point C * Divine Intervention to point D * Stilt to point E * Mage travel to point F that kind of thing really blows....really hurts immersion, IMO. by having mounts you can get rid of some of that.
GhostofAnakin Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Not sure if this has been posted, but Gamespot has an updated, more indepth preview of what Mass Effect is about.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 I'm not making any judgements till I see it in action. It's interesting that they plan on dowloaded enhancements when you will have a large number of 360's without a harddrive. Seems you could could put your focus elsewhere. Or maybe they are just aiming to release a really short game again. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
alanschu Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Have you watched the trailer? The graphics look impressive. Although the "ancient evil" smacks of the Star Forge again. Or atleast that's what came to mind when I saw it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm betting on Knights of the Old Republic without the Star Wars franchise type experience. GOA: BIO has 200+ employees Really? If we see morrowind as a 10*10 room then its going to look empty if you only put a chair in one corner. If we see Oblivion as a 20*20 room then your going to need two chairs to have a comparable level of emptiness. With only one chair it looks even more empty than the 10*10. Actually, you'd need 4 chairs to make it have a comparable level of emptiness, as you'd be increasing the area by a factor of 4 (100 vs 400). I'm looking forward to Oblivion and how it's Radiant AI works.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Im going to write down on a piece of paper a prediction of how i think Oblivion will be, then when Ive played it I will look at the paper again to see if I was right... wether it will be true to its name or a good game DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

Tel Aviv Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) And will you eat the paper afterwards, depending on the overall correctness of your assessment? Edited October 9, 2005 by Tel Aviv
Volourn Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 (edited) "Although the "ancient evil" smacks of the Star Forge again. Or atleast that's what came to mind when I saw it." This is true. However, BIO has been quite honest with their story plans - they intend to have epic good vs. evil for pretty much all their games and nothing beats the 'ancient evil'. Hey, at least JE wasn't an 'ancient evil'. "Really?" Yes. Actually, the last time BIO mentioned the number of employees it was closer to 250.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 I think I'm actually looking forward to this game more than Dragon Age. [/random useless comment] "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
karka Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I think I'm actually looking forward to this game more than Dragon Age. [/random useless comment] <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I totally lost my interest for Dragon Age. More than one year passed after the announcement and what we got? Absolutely nothing! I wanna hear about features, wanna see some screenshots may be, or i wanna know who the damn publisher is! Now i am looking for Mass Effect. It is more interesting than DA.
Volourn Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 "I wanna hear about features" Then pay attention as lots of features have been discussed by BIO. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
alanschu Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) Dragon Age is still a long ways away. It's certainly not vapourware. EDIT: In other news, where'd you read up about the size of Bioware? I didn't think they had that many people working there yet. I know they're still hiring, and even taking interns.

Also, the count of Bioware names at the end of the JE manual lists over 200+ employees.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Doesn't matter which one you get, it will be the same basic story. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But atleast Mass Effect won't have freaking elves or stupid little magic and dragons.
