Malcador Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Well now that gets me pumped up to play the game. 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

alanschu Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Meh, I don't mind the trailer. I'm curious what the reaction would be had it been Obsidian doing something similar (i.e. I am curious if people's perspective of the company and franchise taints their reaction) 2
Malcador Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'd find it just as silly and cringe worthy. Might be a bit more funny though, given the games Obsidian turns out.

alanschu Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I'm sure on some rule of marketing, "it worked." I know more about the game now than I did pretty much at all, and it even piqued my interest somewhat, purely based on the gameplay footage. All because Morgoth shared it because he was disgusted by it. Some of the things I think that worked was the people narrating words, with the gameplay (at least attempting to) show some gameplay/narrative elements that applies to that word. And we're hear talking about it. Of course, some people will probably take the campaign a bit far and assume that it must be implying that because you played this game, you are both functionally illiterate and ready for the apocalypse. 1
Morgoth Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 It's a corridor Gears of War/Uncharted clone where you play a young girl that emits orgasmic squeals. Still inrerested alanschu? Rain makes everything better.
Nonek Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I am still a walking extinction event for endangered species. I am incapable of losing a tooth, messing up my hair or being scarred despite hundreds of melee's. I am stronger and more experienced at fighting than a seven foot tall pirate, who wasn't raised in english aristocratic luxury. I am incapable of gaining muscle, despite any exertion, and will remain a delicate malnourished underwear model. I am Lara Croft...and even i'd have preferred another Legacy of Kain game. 5 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
entrerix Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 i really wanted to love AC 3, i got it right away when it was released and jumped excitedly into it. I LOVE the setting (big last of the mohicans fan) and felt like the game was targeted right for me. but it sucked. frustrating lack of polish, terrible design decisions, and worst of all: boring. so many boring "missions", a 6 hour tutorial, very repetitive exploration with little/no reward so, despite me being excited about the idea of a pirate themed AC game, i have to put on my cynic hat now if it gets good reviews then i'll buy it for $30 sometime next year i guess 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.
LadyCrimson Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 That Tombraider trailer is terrible. Altho, this is largely because they put real people into it. If it had been just the game footage with voice-over and dramatic music, it would have just been cheesy instead of terrible. “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts

Still inrerested alanschu? corridor? i thought the game was set up like arkham asylum where you have an island to explore and some areas are cut off till you get the right gear ala metroidvania games?

TSBasilisk Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) That's largely a joke regarding Alan's interest after seeing the trailer. --- Creators of the Game of Throne RPG and Of Orcs and Men are at it again - Announce Bound By Fire Honestly not sure what to think of it. At least the Light/Dark Side mechanic has a somewhat more interesting story than usual. Ouya shipping to backers on March 28 Almost time to see how it does in the real world. Torment: Tides of Numenara pledge tiers hashed out Lowest tier is $25 for the game and manual. Interestingly, there's mention of the "Tides" left by past characters for the future, so the name may have more meaning than I thought. Edited February 28, 2013 by TSBasilisk

Still inrerested alanschu? I haven't played either Gears of War nor Uncharted, though I have heard Uncharted is pretty good. I'll probably pass on Tomb Raider since money is tight, so it's mostly meh. Edited February 28, 2013 by alanschu
