Slowtrain Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 NOLF was pretty awesome except for the "you were detected: mission failed" parts. Not a lot of them but even one is annoying. NOLF 2 eliminated that iirc. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Rosbjerg Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Eets. It's something between Lemmings and The Incredible Machine. Great fun. The incredible machine.. wow I had totally forgotten about that.. Did you ever notice that the game changes it's style if you play on a major holiday? Like snow and candy canes in Christmas and lots of fireworks at New Year? Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Caliban Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think Left 4 Dead single-player is one of the perfect 'a few minute' games. I can play a half-hour of it and enjoy myself before moving on. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Nothing. My desktop keeps crashing and I don't know why, though that amount of dust can't really be helping.

Morgoth Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Rise of the Argonauts. I thought that had been delayed. No, it's out since yesterday. But I heard it's delayed to 2009 for UK only.

Morgoth Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Delayed for the U.K. Rest of the world is getting it today. So Morgoth, I'd be happy to hear your first impressions. Well, I've played some 2-3 hours now, and I just landed on the first story island Satiria (?), where those grumpy centaurs are doing their things. Anyways, the game sorta starts out a bit "meh". Very confining level design, but it starts to open up a bit later. Combat is pretty good, feels very gory and satisfying, there're a lot combos, and each weapon (sword, mace, speer, shield) has it's own important functulaity, which can be further improved in the "Aspects screen", depending to whom god you align. You spend these deeds into more efficient combos for your weapons, or general improvements for your team mates as well. The atmosphere is very nice as well. No Hollywood bull**** around here, so far. Overall, it's not extraordinary good, nor extraordinary bad. I just started on the first island for the search of the Golden Fleece, so I have to push my teeth a bit deeper into it. More later.

crakkie Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dark Messiah again. I neglected staffs on my earlier playthroughs, not realizing how fun they were. Oh Jimmy, you were so funny.

taks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 ut oh. oh, i'm playing IWD2 again. i got bored of SoZ and wanted some old skool IE action. one of the hardest things is switching my mind-set from NWN2 3.5E rules to IWD2 3E rules. subtle, but enough to make me think a bit more when i level since i'm so used to the 3.5E crpg thing that we've all grown accustomed to. taks comrade taks... just because.

Hmm, I wonder who the final boss will be? Well, without revealing too much, my favorite one is a schizophrenic madman wandering the docks of the main setting. He has three different names and personalities but it's always the same guy. You can engage him in conversation and each time calls himself something different his opinions change a little. And it always leaves you a little irritated after talking to him. I'd say the names but that would just give it away.

taks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hmm, I wonder who the final boss will be? me. you'll have to find a way to either trick me into accepting socialist ideals or convince me that all hope is lost and i should just jump off a cliff. you can go the MDK route, but i'm jabba the hut big so it might be difficult, or at least time consuming. your schizophrenic madman idea sounds kinda funny. i can see him now, wandering around muttering to himself. yakman indeed! taks comrade taks... just because.

Morgoth Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) RotA starts to grow on me. Just finished the jungle island, and now have the hot Atalanta on board the Argo. The game quite follows the Bioware formula successfully, without the timewasting bull**** like looting and Bio-boring combat though. Writing is competent, character likeness above average, art is mostly nice, voice acting average, facial expressions are horrible, and overall nice quests and motivating story. It's not the second coming for RPG standards, but nonetheless a very competent one. Edited December 12, 2008 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
