The DoomIII-is-in-the-future-so-they-should-have-flaslights-on-the-weapons-argument sucks. Big time. Saying that it's unrealistic is kind of...oh, hello Mr Fireballthrowing-Imp from hell, welcome to DOOM.

Okay, a game should still be consistent in its own world, but it's not like the developers missed the whole mount-light-on-weapon-thing, it's a decision they made for the 'good' of the game (for the price of some inner-logic...but then again, the entire Doom-world seems to have some serious illumination-problems).

 

The text above is just the long version of: I liked it that way. One of those silly opinons - ignore it. But the pictures...

The combat isn't very good but the story and writing are so awesome it's almost unbelievable.

No wonder. Made by the creators of Deus Ex...

If I had to choose between Anachronox and Deus Ex, I'd choose Anachronox every time...

It's light on the RPG-side (it is an RPG in a FinalFantasy kind of way) and heavy on the story and character (both western-style) side. It is often hilarious - in fact one of the funniest games - but nonetheless sometimes sad and tragic and emotional. It takes place in a cyber-punkish future but the character related parts of the story (and the characters themselves) would fit in a forties film-noir.

Not flawless (patch it!), but creative and at the end one of those games you are sad that it's over.

ION STORM!? Wow. For

Yeah, Anachronox pretty much mops the floor with DX and craps on it.

Hey!

Then sleeps with DX' sister.

None of you want to see what they both did to Daikatana.

Sounds like I'm going to enjoy this game ... :D

Be forewarned, though, it's pretty much as JRPG-styled as you can get in terms of combat and non-interactive story. Only, with actual writing.

And complete sentences ..?

Oh, and patch it. With the unofficial (but made by a former developer) ones. When you still encounter problems there is a near-death community on Planet-Anachronox. They know and they answer (or have already answered) but you might have to wait.

Oh, and don't get scared of by the intro, which is only fun to watch for people aged 6 or lower (it scared me off...)

It's a good intro to JRPGs.

I'm pretty sure it'd be more accurate to say it was made by the creators of Diakatana.

You are correct.

Whisky will do that to you if you're not used to it.

I'd call it a good game with flaws.
