Zoraptor Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 The game should start with Nazi and Red officers carving up Poland, just to get a sense of perspective. The carve up of Czechoslovakia- under the aegis of the UK, inventor of the concentration camp, and with Poland (and Hungary, for virumor) getting a forgotten chunk of the spoils- would be equally as good. Doesn't quite go to the same narrative, though.

Orogun01 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I'm sorry to derail this thread but I gotta know, what's with the rape post? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Doesn't quite go to the same narrative, though. I'd like to have an RPG on such history-based setting but, the issue is, even if Americans try to capture the atmosphere, such an attempt tends to end up with something overly simplified (e.g. typical Nazi villain in Hollywood movies) or, at most, abstractly ideological.

Bendu Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Really looking forward to CoH2. Operation Barbarossa, Operation Citadel and the Battle of Stalingrad. That's great stuff for some awesome missions. But only playing on the Soviet side? That sucks. The German campaign I suspect will be the stuff of XPs, a bit like OF and ToV. Of course, German multiplayer will be playable out of the box. Would be great if the game would get the XPs treatment. But I think it's more likely we will see more DLC stuff.

HoonDing Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Sounds worth buying on release. Zenimax Bethesda Arkane deserves the support. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Wombat Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Sounds worth buying on release. Zenimax Bethesda Arkane deserves the support. Yeah...of course, I expect, at least, quite many bugs but my money wants to go after such designers. Any internet sale will do for "major" titles and it is if I find time to play them. And 38 Studios lays EVERYONE off including Big Huge Games. Shame for Big Huge Am I missing something? I thought Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning sold quite well.Indeed, I haven't bought it since I tend to be attracted to interesting worlds, characters and stories and that the most of the reviews around describe them "generic" unanimously. In any case, by the time reviews began to appear (I was quite busy at that time, too), I had already figured out or more precisely, hadn't been able to figure out what could be expressed by the goofy graphic with Ken Rolston and Salvatore. That said, they say the game has a well-designed action mechanic. I always thought action RPG had been cursed by the prejudice from the mechanic of party-based RPG, where magic users have no close-combat abilities - When in Rome... or, there should be a suitable way to balance games depending on their genres. It seems that they made some improvements in this area. In any case, even if the game appears to have its own achievement in the action RPG genre, a company can fail as a business. Does it happen to be another case of money shortage as in Troika's case? Anyway, it appears to be getting harder for independent developers which try to compete with their massively invested counterparts. I suspect that the same can be said to Obsidian, which seem to be laying off their younger designers despite that they seem to have some talents...
Nepenthe Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Am I missing something? I thought Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning sold quite well. Yes. It didn't. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Wombat Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Am I missing something? I thought Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning sold quite well. Yes. It didn't. Compared with their debt, do you mean? A brief net search, which I should have done before my previous post, ended up with the fact that the company owed $75m (!) to Rhode Island governor, which is more likely to be the missing piece of the puzzle. Even a simple math is enough to show the million seller - "over a million" to be precise, according to Schilling - wouldn't cover it. Oh, well...I could only wish good luck on the designers who lost their jobs.

HoonDing Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 New Star Wars franchise to be unveiled next week. Could be Dawn of the Jedi. Or at least this would be interesting. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Could be also that Boba Fett game. Or that Wii U MMO. Or whatever else. They better all fired that blatantly incompetent SW:TFU team, 'cause that series was criminally bad - even for Star Wars standards. Rain makes everything better.
Morgoth Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Sleeping Dogs 101 trailer. Uhhh... holy cow? Is this a real GTA competitor there? Also, who needs Next-Gen consoles? Unless of course they showed actual PC footage... Rain makes everything better.
Calax Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Sleeping Dogs 101 trailer. Uhhh... holy cow? Is this a real GTA competitor there? Also, who needs Next-Gen consoles? Unless of course they showed actual PC footage... Formerly True Crime: Streets Of Hong Kong, or something. In theory it was a sequel to a "GTA from the cops side of things" game set in LA (which was ok... minor tweaks and it would have been great) and later new york (which was crap) but they lost the rihts to the name.
