Kaftan Barlast Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 It's not just about the battles though, as magic spells and hundreds of powerful weapons and artefacts play a huge role in the game. another brainless hack n slash to the bunch <_< 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. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

mkreku Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 another brainless hack n slash to the bunch <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you played it already? Or can you spell prejudice? If you can't come up with anything constructive to write: don't write at all. That's a general tip for all you whiners and crybabies out there. If I start a thread about a particular game that I am interested in, I'm not interested in hearing people not interested in the game telling me how braindead and bad it is. Especially since noone has played it yet. By the way, isn't it fun to see people call games "brainless" to make themselves look smart? It never works, but it's a cute newbie mistake.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 but seriously, after the "its not just about the battles" there should have been a "involving deep story" not just "and theres loads of 1337 sh*t to kill stuff with!!" its a telltale sign of a horrid action-rpg if the devs are just writing about how many nifty new spells and magical items you can have.

Llyranor Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 No, its a telltale sign of a horrid action-rpg if the dev is claiming that all his past successes were crap and that they were made only because of the technological limitations of the time, and that this is his ultimate RPG *BECAUSE* it has live-action TOTALLY IMMERSIVE action combat. It's *the* combat RPG of 2004. You don't hype a RPG with virtually solely its battle system, which is what being done here, you hype it with the CORE of the gameplay. Not to say that action-based combat wouldn't be fun in coop, I just don't think I'd pay this title any attention unless it turns to be have really exceptional combat AND really exceptional everything else.

mkreku Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 A good summary of what to expect from the game: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/dungeonlord...ew_6116941.html Posted January 24'th 2005.

~Di Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Gosh, I wish I was as elite and cool as the CRPG purists of the world. Then I too could heist my nose in the air, and pretend I was so much better than anyone else because only I have the knowledge of what is good and holy and fun in the CRPG universe, amen.

Anyhow, I found another preview, this one a little more personal than the rather boring Gamespot one: http://pc.ign.com/articles/582/582322p1.html?ui=watch Note this (from one who has actually played the beta-version): "One of these developers is Heuristic Park, lead by industry veteran D.W. Bradley, which most people will remember from his work on a few of the Wizardry games. Their next game, Dungeon Lords, is an effort to bring RPGs back to the deep adventure bound stories that RPG fans enjoy so much." Of course, it is still an action-RPG, but it sounds awfully close to Gothic-style action, and that's fine by me. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

~Di Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I truly love the Gothic series, so I agree that if Dungeon Lords parallels a Gothic-type experience, I'll be in seventh heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulp Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 The game looks to be turning into a real-time clickfest. I'm saving my money for something requiring less.. dexterity. I'm waiting to see if (potential) demos surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting to see if (potential) demos surprise me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, it is real-time and not turn based. Doesn't mean it will have to be a "clickfest" though. Personally, I am hoping it will be more along the lines of Gothic or perhaps Blade of Darkness. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Getting burned recently on cheap promises from devs have made me a little more prudent. I'll probably wait six months minimum before I decide to buy another "innovative breakthrough", D. W. Bradley or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Di Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I'm interested in it. I hope it turns out to be worthwhile, but I'm skeptical of all games nowadays. I'll be reading the forum feedback before I buy, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakron Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 D.W. Bradley: Dungeon Lords is the first game to combine a deep 3D RPG with real-time arcade-style fighting action... I will pass thank you. Note: I say this after I played Shenmue II and have nothing against "action" RPGs .., I am having a verygood time with Seal of Evil despite its awful voice acting and occasional script typos.

mkreku Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 Gamer's Hell recently posted a Dungeon Lords interview that I thought gave a good view of how the game will end up.

Musopticon? Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Mkreku, you really seem to have high hopes for this game. Why? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuvein Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Mkreku, you really seem to have high hopes for this game. Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's by the guy who made Wizardry 6 and 7. We should all have high hopes. I hope the 'random' number generator isn't so hellishly evil though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I have high hopes, I only wanted to know our swedish friend's reasons for his excitement.
