WorstUsernameEver Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I do! But I'm kinda behind with the news about it.

Majek Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Even should the gameplay be utter garbage, this looks worth playing for setting, atmosphere and art alone. Kinda like with Arx Fatalis. Arx Fatalis was fine indeed. Hopefully adding Harvey Smith to the mix will produce something even greater. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
LadyCrimson Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Interesting to see bullet time in multiplayer. Indeed. Wonder how that works. I love bullet time visually. “Things are as they are.

Rosbjerg Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I've gradually lost interest in Max Payne 3 .. They aren't playing to the series strengths, it looks like they made the gameplay much better than the previous games, but the story, which was delightfully silly and serious at the same time, now just seems kinda bland. It'll be like making a Serious Sam game that suddenly deep and emotional with adequate shooting mechanics.. Fortune favors the bald.
Morgoth Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Linear Action games with film-flair were teh awesome back in the late 90s/early 2000, but for today's standard, I think a game like MP3 is completely obsolete. I just don't see the point in this. Bullettime? Booooooring. Rockstar should stick with the open-world stuff, they're better at that. Rain makes everything better.
Gorgon Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Looks kinda meh. Hope I'm wrong. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
zero_or_more Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah, nobody does linear action games anymore... They seem to have abandoned the comic book feel of the first 2 games - sad. Words to avoid...
greylord Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I'm not really following, EVERY FPS and TPS I've played in the past 2 years is particularly linear. I don't think there's a one that's an FPS or TPS that hasn't been linear. Closest you get would be something like the Mass Effects and they aren't really TPS games at all, they're RPGs... Though ME3 tries REALLY REALLY hard to be a TPS, even has MP, but compared to other shooters, it's not really all that great.
Gorgon Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 what the hell is a TPS Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorgon Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 ohh... yeah. nevermind Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

entrerix Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 the Mass Effects .... they're RPGs... if mass effect 3 is an rpg then i think we can definitely consider the rpg genre dead, buried, forgotten, and paved over. 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.
Volourn Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 ME3 is an action rpg yet it has more 'rpgness' in it than the BGs and other so called 'full fledge' RPGs. LMAO Then again, there's a large sect of people who honestly believe dungeonc rawlers like the GB games are the ultimate rpgs. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Jaesun Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Mass Effect is a terrible squad based shooter, because it's an RPG. Mass Effect is a terrible RPG because is is a squad based shooter.

Morgoth Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 WH40K: Dark Millenium now a single-player MMO; a couple of lay-offs Rain makes everything better.
Tale Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 WH40K: Dark Millenium now a single-player MMO; a couple of lay-offs I was just about to post that. I'm actually rather happy about that change (though not the layoffs). I hope they keep the RPG elements. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Drowsy Emperor Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Shame about layoffs hitting Relic. I really don't want them to fail. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
Morgoth Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Shame about layoffs hitting Relic. I really don't want them to fail. They were already a dead and irrelevant company to me after 2006. Rain makes everything better.
greylord Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Mass Effect is a terrible squad based shooter, because it's an RPG. Mass Effect is a terrible RPG because is is a squad based shooter. That pretty much sums up the entire series. What's funny is today, just for fun, I powered up a CoD MW game. Wow...as far as shooters go, that blew ME3 out of the water and MW 3 came out before ME3 and still rocks all over it. Yeah...ME3 is an RPG...cause if it were a shooter it is epic fail. I like it as an RPG... Then again, people say I'm one of those who are part of the stupid masses instead of some of the elite RPG artiests here. Sometimes it's good to be able to play CoD though. I completely like the ME series as they are, and view them as RPGs. As RPGs they are just as fun as CoD...but not ME3 MP...that actually is pretty bad in comparison after I fired up MW. And MW 3 is worse than MW 2 of all things...maybe we're retrogressing? In other news, haven't seen much about this game coming out. Of course, this mainly talks about PC games, and this is an Xbox game...but looks really cool. Unfortunately I don't have an Xbox...if I did I'd have this game pre-ordered already! next week Teusday.

Morgoth Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Crytek releases Fibble for iOS. Oh cute. Rain makes everything better.
Malcador Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Shame about layoffs hitting Relic. I really don't want them to fail. Yeah, it does suck. I didn't have great hopes for Dark Millennium, maybe it'll be more fun as a SP game. A nice full out RPG in the 40k setting would be fun to play. Why has elegance found so little following?

Gorth Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 From various press releases around the net... In a press release issued today Brian Farrell, president and CEO of THQ, revealed game-changing plans for the project. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Nepenthe Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 They are also the publisher of Obsidians South Park game if I'm not mistaken. You are not. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Zoraptor Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 'Distributor' rather than 'publisher', iirc. ie THQ will fabricate and distribute the physical media and the like, but the funding itself is THQ independent and if they folded it would not (necessarily) take the project down with it.
