I thought we were cool, she hasn't said anything to me about her not being here. LOL Internet drama. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Oerwinde Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm probably gonna be flamed for this, but I'll take that risk and say that I couldn't for the life of me get into Troika's Arcanum. I tought the animation was awful, the interface unwieldy, that AI seemed buggy, the controls in general (but particularly the two available combat modes) felt odd and clunky and the story didn't manage to grab me in any way, shape or form. So, yea. Arcanum is probably one of the worst games I've bought. It didn't stop me from purchasing Troika's other two offerings tho, both of which I have very fond memories of (ToEE, although completely devoid of any story, still has the best implementation of D&D rules in a video game, ever, and had gorgeous graphics. And Bloodlines has one of my favorite settings in a CRPG and ranks right up there with the best when it comes to atmosphere and story-telling). L. Arcanum was more of a last hurrah for 2d rpgs. That and it was like the only steampunk game in like 15 years. It had crappy graphics and combat, but I liked the universe and atmosphere. I liked that things you did one one place affected what happened in another. If that kind of thing could be adapted to a game with good graphics and combat, that would be sweet. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hmmm, well there are loads of duff games out there I've bought and played. Stuff like Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Rampage, Shining Tears, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Shadow Madness, Impossible Mission, X-Men for the NES, Druid II, Dungeon Lords, Invictus, Jurassic Park for the Genesis, etc. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Jurassic Park on the Genesis was a good game... For Reals. The second Toejam & Earl was a real letdown for me, considering the greatness of the first. And what was all that cyborg grandpa **** in Streets of Rage 3?

Amentep Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I hated Jurassic Park on the Genesis. I know others liked it but I didn't. It had some interesting conceits but I'll be honest I got tired of platformers around that time, so maybe that's it. Speaking of Toe Jam and Earl, while the second game was a dissapointment I didn't hate it. I did really dislike that modern game that came out a year or two though. I cannot - yet I must.

Rosbjerg Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 ...NeverWinter Nights, hands down... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... Totally agree.. I was severly dissapointed! I didn't mind Lionheart. I actually thought for the first half of the game it was quite fun. Then it turned into a boring hackfest for the 2nd half and I stopped playing. I went into Lionheart with zero expectations - and I was still dissapointed.. can't stop playing ever now and again though.. it bothers me that I've never finished it. But I will say that I had one of the best multiplayer experiences in it, which is what saves the game for me. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I kind of enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. It's nowhere the quality of its predecessor, but it just seems like a different target audience storywise. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

It's nowhere the quality of its predecessor, but it just seems like a different target audience storywise. I didn't like being forced to play the game in certain ways (the "rules" system that would force you not to use certain items/spells/classes/whatever) and I hated the conceit of it being an "imaginary" story.

Tale Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) I should probably add Final Fantasy 8, 10, and 11 to this list. They're 3 games I would have been better off not buying.

Tale Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) The thing I liked about 9 was how obviously it didn't take itself seriously. 8 tried to be a love story with no story to the love, just two people who barely know each other claiming they're in love at a relatively random moment with a giant plot twist in the game being they all forgot, but didn't know it. 10 was headed by an emo poster child and might have been a good game if not for him.

Shryke Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Sacred? Why Sacred? Because it was just mile after mile of hacking through improbably numerous monsters to get to the other side of the map to be rewarded with a single paragraph of badly-written plot from the NPC and the next quest, which consisted unsurprisingly of traipsing back across the other side of the map through waves of slightly different monsters. It's essentially a hack'n'slash version of Pong. I hated it. i'd have to agree with that and the fact that there were absolutely no consequences for dying maybe there were on higher difficulties, but the fact that you had to complete the game before you could unlock the extra difficulties was just irritating and my worst purchase would probably have to be either Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, Red Faction 2, or Dune 2000 when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
