Malcador Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 That trailer wasn't too bad. Why has elegance found so little following?

Nepenthe Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Ah, I see, ol' trusty Obsidian forums homophobia. Never fails to amuse me. In the "look how old-fashioned!" 50s bra advert kind of way? In that case, agreed. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarghagh Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 New Reckoning trailer I'm posting this for one reason and one reason alone. Is that narrator Claudia Black? If so, day one buy. Tim Cain's MMO announced From Fallout to...this. How the mighty have fallen. That trailer is really interesting. If it wasn't an MMO, I'd be excited. I have to agree with Tale here. This thing's got style, which is more than I can say for most games coming out these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorstUsernameEver Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Snappy action game locked at 30 fps. Do they even have any idea why fans liked the game in the first place? This will bomb harder than Dungeon Siege III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will bomb harder than Dungeon Siege III. That's just silly. They are consciously breaking the game's gameplay in order to provide better graphics? What?

Drowsy Emperor Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm watching the DotA 2 championship stream and for the life of me I cant see whats fun in the game. It sure is boring as hell to watch. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.

The only games I've enjoyed watching are Mortal Kombat and Starcraft 2. And I'm not sure why they manage it. Being boring to watch is kind of the standard.

It sure is boring as hell to watch. The only games I've enjoyed watching are Mortal Kombat and Starcraft 2. And I'm not sure why they manage it. Being boring to watch is kind of the standard. Speed and sudden shifts are probably the cause. Although MK is not much faster than other fighting games. I admit I don't know the intricacies of DotA or tower defense games in general but the actual gameplay is so bare bones and drawn out I'm put off it already. Then again I found Skirmishcraft III boring as well. Ten man armies ain't my thing. Unless its Myth.

Drowsy Emperor Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 but the actual gameplay is so bare bones and drawn out I'm put off it already.Dude, what. I was referring to the fact that 10 minutes in game I couldn't see a single palpable difference except maybe for the fall of one tower. And that I can't see what there actually is to do in the game except spam hero abilities and use the shop. Contemporary games which offer FPS-like interfaces still rely on randomized accuracy, which drives players nuts. His own company's Alpha Protocol is one example of this. "No actual human being likes this! You really struggle to get to the point of competence in the game," said Sawyer. Well damn, I could have told him that when Bloodlines was released, like almost a decade ago. That was my biggest annoyance with the ME series as well.

Controlling the your hero is more complex than Q-click-W-click-E-click, but I agree about the first part. As I said,DotA2 looks really boring.
