Nameless One Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) 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...

Pidesco Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 If I had to choose between Anachronox and Deus Ex, I'd choose Anachronox every time...

Nameless One Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Anachronox' Fatima and Sly - tragedy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ooo. that looks like a good game. Is it fun? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyranor Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 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.

Nameless One Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 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.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It's a good intro to JRPGs. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
