Brayko Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Looks fun. 'Bout time someone brought mechs out of their sustained coma, if nothing else.
entrerix Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 that actually looks really cool. it would be REALLY great if they had different class mechs, the very large ones feeling more like traditional giant mechs, and the video here actually just of the smaller types. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Tale Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Finished The Darkness 2. I stand by my previous positive assessment. Now, it's ultimately a different beast from The Darkness. Which was a slower game and did the drama better. This one does the action better. If you're curious about a recommendation, I'd mostly recommend to people that they wait a while for price to go down. It's still fairly short, my playtime is 5.8 hours. And it won't achieve the status that the original game did by a long shot. But it's lots of fun. Onto Amalur. And after that, I might even do New Game+ in The Darkness 2. Yeah, I did enjoy it that much. Edit: And I apparently posted this in the wrong thread. Again. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Interesting are also Avellone's comments @Dracogen @gamasutra I'm pretty intrigued if this turns out. I hope it does, b/c that's going to open brand new doors for the industry.

Gorth Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 You know, the mech FPS? Best looking Mech game I've seen since Slave Zero (never tried BF2142). Not sure if it's more fun to play than Unreal though. Coop/Multiplayer? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 You haven't played the MechWarrior games I presume? And check out MechWarrior:Online. I think I tried one of them, can't remember if it was the first or second one though. At the time I was in love with an Amiga shareware game though, called BattleForce. A turnbased RPG/Tactical combat hybrid mech game, so I never really looked closer at the "simple" action games of the time. Slave Zero however had that dystopian "Bladerunner" feel to the city fighting and destructible terrain. Something I'm a bit of a sucker for. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Hurlshort Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I can't really disagree with you there, Mafia 2 was sorely lacking in the game department. But I still think it was special.
C2B Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) 654k..... Seriously Obsidian, put together a kickstarter project for a small turn-based rpg ASAP. Edited February 9, 2012 by C2B
Lexx Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I'd pay for it. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

C2B Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Update on the double-fine kickstarter UPDATE: We did it! 100% funded in just over eight hours. You people are amazing! But it's not over yet. The number keeps going up and now the question is just how much news do we want to make with this? We're getting a lot of attention already and it seems like this little project could have an impact beyond itself. All money raised will go to make the game and documentary better. Additional money means it can appear on more platforms, be translated into more languages, have more music and voice, and an original soundtrack for the documentary, and more! Your backing and comments have been truly inspiring to me and the team, so on behalf of Double Fine and 2 Player Productions I want to say THANK YOU!!! I can't wait to see where this thing can go!

Malcador Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 That is pretty neat, always liked Schafer and another adventure games couldn't hurt. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Tigranes Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Threw in $15 too, I never finished Psychonauts but I like the venture and I really want to see the whole 'documentary' process. 780k now, they could hit a million, though that's not really a large amount of money for a game. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
