vault_overseer Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Will it capture my interest if I'm not Russian? Did you like stalker?
Morgoth Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Unfortunately, no. But I heard it's quite different from Stalker, no? Rain makes everything better.
Morgoth Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Guess I'll pass then. Still have to finish Chaos Rising anyway... Rain makes everything better.

Nemo0071 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 The episodes *are* HL3. No they're not. That's why it is called Half Life 2: Episode #. AFAIK, Episode 3 will be the end of the franchise (at least, the story they begun in HL1). Link, anyone? Some kind of official statement on that, maybe?

Hell Kitty Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I enjoyed the parts of Metro 2033 that had me sneaking around enemy bases, but fighting monsters was quite dull. Graphically very impressive, if you've got a powerful machine and want to show off what it can do, this is the game to do it I guess. Roaming around your characters home base in the beginning just made me sad the game was just a linear shooter.

mkreku Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 New Arcania interview: http://www.faceoffgames.com/section/1180665 Two things: "Based on our analysis, accessibility was one of the worst parts of the previous games. So we focused on that quite early during development." That's one of the things I adore about the Gothic games; they will not EVER hold your hand! I love that and I'm sad to see it go, but I can understand the change. Regarding character development system: "The system that was used in the forerunners of ArcaniA felt too clumsy and made it possible to create a character that was underperforming because of wrong choices the player has done." Another thing I liked about the Gothic games: if you build an idiotic build, you'll suffer for it. I liked that there were consequences if you were an idiot. I never felt it to be clumsy either. Let's just hope that it's not a system like the one in Fallout 3 where you're rewarded so often that you're a god by level 10.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Wombat Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 "Based on our analysis, accessibility was one of the worst parts of the previous games.

I liked that there were consequences if you were an idiot. I never felt it to be clumsy either. Let's just hope that it's not a system like the one in Fallout 3 where you're rewarded so often that you're a god by level 10.. Making accessibility high is a key factor for some CRPG developers. As long as they don't remove the depth, I'm not against widening the entrance for role-playing games. In fact, I feel developers of other other genres are learning faster about the character advancement system than some CRPG developers learning about modern gameplays. As long as I read some comments by system designers such as J.E. Sawyer and Nathaniel Chapman (Especially about his blog post about difficulty setting), I believe they are on rational course. Alpha Protocol, which seems to have gone against what they are saying on these boards in this respect, puzzled me, though. a game suited for the 21th century. Is that such a difficult task?

Pope Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) new Mortal Kombat trailer http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6265111/ I still play UMK3 quite often with friends on the SNES. Never liked the installments after the original trilogy. 3D just isn't as much fun, and the characters were uninspired ripoffs of the originals. Looks like this new one is going back to 2D combat (with 3D graphics) and oldskool characters. All I can say is: yes. Now I just need Scorpion confirmed and then it'll be: hell yes.
