Humodour Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 To be quite honest, there wasn't enough crates in Dungeon Siege. We need more crates. And mimics that look like crates and eat you when you go to smash them.
Amentep Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Why have a monster that looks like a crate? I say make a crate that looks like a monster. You enter a dimly lit room in the dungeon where you can make out the dim outline of a horrible Grundersnash. You pause and wait but the Grundersnash makes no move towards you. Certain it hasn't spotted you, you advance slowly. Having worked your way around the room, you approach the creature from behind, making a swift smash with your club. Ah, but it wasn't a Grundersnash at all, but an Atanip which shatters and spills its loot over the floor... 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
Flouride Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) I didn't see any crates in the concept art photos which has me quite worried that this game won't support crates at all. Edited June 7, 2010 by Flouride Hate the living, love the dead.
Amentep Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 I didn't see any crates in the concept art photos which has me quite worried that this game won't support crates at all. To be fair, it isn't called CRATE SEIGE, so I figure crate discussions will come out naturally when discussing features. 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

Ah, but it wasn't a Grundersnash at all, but an Atanip which shatters and spills its loot over the floor... This is actually brilliant. You could be entering a mansion of a wacky inventor, who's been working hard in the dark underground cellars on his latest invention - monster-shaped crates that could help you transport valuable cargo safely, as their fiersome visage will scare off all but the most foolish of bandits on the road. Hell, he's been working on making them as realistic as possible, so that they're on wheels and move by themselves... but he hasn't quite worked out how to make them stop. Cue levels of free-wheeling monster-crates on wheels that you can whack for loot.

Irrelevant Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Half Life 2 has raised the bar, we must be able to attack with those crates. Surely there have been some advancements in crate making technology(Must they always be wooden and brown?) I want to turn enemies into crates!!! oh god, we need more puns...

Flouride Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 How about a fighting game like Tekken only with crates of different size and color! The end boss would be (naturally) a barrel. Hate the living, love the dead.

WorstUsernameEver Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 That's a dangerous combination sir, do we have the technology? Obsidian has designed the game to tailor to that. They had to scrap, story, voice acting and gameplay to do that, but trust me, it's a great experience anyway. Just returned from my hands-on with Nathaniel Chapman, George Ziets, Sasha Grey and Mr.T.

That's a dangerous combination sir, do we have the technology? Voice Over: "The crate, container. An RPG staple barely alive." Voice Over (continued): "Gentlemen, we can rebuild them. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first barrel-crate. Dungeon Seige III will be that game. We can make them better than they were before. Better, stronger, more capacity." Title Card: The Six Million Dollar Crate I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

HoonDing Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Divinity 2 had bunnies... and if you killed a certain amount, a Killer Bunny would appear, Monty Python style. Nothing can ever beat that. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Dark_Raven Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 A cute little pet bunny. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 AP had tons of crates. I'm assuming this trend from Obsidian will continue. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
