djkillingspree Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Is True Crime any good? Unfortunately, I found it to be a less enjoyable GTA3. Your mileage may vary. Also, going with LA as a setting was a little too ambitious, I think. Merging from the 110 on to the 10 with only three or four other cars in view just wrecked the immersion for me.
FrankK Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 What game that can't be named? (*wink* to the trenchcoated men in the corner) How would you rate this "un-named" game on a scale from 1 to 10? I would rate it a WOW! It's competition is in trouble.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 I would rate it a WOW! It's competition is in trouble. What competition would that be ? I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
Aaron Contreras Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Postal 3: Coleman Strikes Back. Stiff competition.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Speaking of which, what games would you cite has having been instrumental in expanding your knowledge on gaming, wheter in developing, wheter in broadening your gaming horizons?
yeyeman9 Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Actually COH will be the next great MMO, I am in beta and trust me...it rocks! Totally awesome game. Also devs one questions, what do you prefer to play: long games or short ones?
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I'm curious, have any of the Dev's played Arx Fatalis.... If so what is your opinion of this game? "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
kumquatq3 Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Just out of curiosity, not nessasarily getting at anything, but I noticed no dev listed that they played KOTOR recently. I'm sure you guys just forgot, eh? B)
Gorth Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Action type games seems to be predominant here (with the possible exception of Akari), so are we to assume that these guys don't like/play crpgs ? Or is it just that quality crpgs are in short supply and you are doing something about it (please ?) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I'm sure you guys just forgot, eh? B) I'm not familiar with that 'KOTOR' game. Is it an acronym for something? As far as RPGs go, I try to play as many as I can (both PC and Console). I also think it is important to play plenty of non-RPGs.
Darque Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 ahahahahaha I wonder if the devs "can't" mention it

I spent about 5 minutes trying to get past the interface which ended with me grunting 'Frank Smash' at the keyboard and mouse. It looks to have promise, interface problems aside, so I'm sure I'll get back to it.

Ferret Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 It's been awhile, but I played Arx Fatalis. It was reminiscent of the classic Ultima Underworld series. I enjoyed the game, and even got into the rune casting thing. My expectations of the game were pretty low, though, so I was pleasantly surprised and that might color my evaluation of it. I've been playing Sacred, Battlefield: Vietnam, and just picked up Mark of Kri. And any day I keep hoping to hear that City of Heroes has a slot for me. Yay! -Ferret
Ronald Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 And any day I keep hoping to hear that City of Heroes has a slot for me. Yay! -Ferret I think that City of Heroes has great potential to be terrible. Players cannot play villains, so having thousands of super heroes running around a city fighting AI villains...bleh.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 They definetely shot themselves in the foot with that decision.
Guest Michael Chu Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 I just picked up Baldur's Gate II after not touching it for many many years. I'm also trying to work through Syberia so that I can go right into Syberia II (which I'm moderately enthused about). I've also been squeezing in Farcry and UT2K4 whenever I get a free moment. Oh, and Broken Sword 3 is sort of watching me over my shoulder asking me to play it again. My games are so needy. I've also got the new GameCube Harvest Moon title staring at me, but it's having trouble competing with my playoff-fever-induced ESPN NBA Basketball sessions (go Lakers!). I probably shouldn't admit this, but I was thinking about going through Planescape: Torment again a weekend ago, but couldn't figure out how to get out of the first room!
