Drowsy Emperor Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't understand either. There is a group in the EVE universe that goes by that name and has a bad reputation, and their avatar is the same as her avatar so I presume EVE gamers know what its about.

Keyrock Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Curiosity question, what is the context of the use of "Goon" in this? I'm suspecting some kind of alternate definition from the norm the way its used (something common in online gaming?) From what I gather, it's some kind of group that focuses on causing chaos and grief to the gaming community, a troll group, I guess. I don't care enough to properly research it, so I could be way off.

sesobebo Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ultimately, the question is, what are these gender exclusive discussions that need a "safe environment" and aren't suited for general chat. nope. that's not the question. the topics of discussions are immaterial. the gender exclusivity is there as a sift to create a safe environment for discussion about anything.

sesobebo Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 i'm just explaining the logic behind the female only social club. as far as i'm concerned anyone can lock themself into a cloister, as long as it's by their own choice and not imposed by others.

I wouldn't want to be part of any forum/guild/group or any other system that said women weren't welcome.

Why not just blue hand the shadow dog? The greater conundrum is... why did they make this trailer in the first place? You could basically slap it onto any fantasy game.

Keyrock Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yeah, that trailer tells next to nothing about the game. I'm mostly sad because they dropped the pirate motif in favor of a return to generic fantasy. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Bound By Flame launch trailer: I'm happy to see they've continued the tradition of hilariously bad voice overs. I'll be interested to hear impressions of this game if anyone here winds up getting it. I have it pre-ordered from GMG Was only 27 bucks EDIT: FUSWJT-B1DU64-JBV8UY 20% off code for GMG that I used. Hopefully it still works That's a good price. It shows fifty bones on PSN and only 34 on Steam, but, available now PS4, PC not till Friday. Would like to play this. Edit. Oh, Steam says only 14 more hours Edited May 8, 2014 by ManifestedISO All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly sad because they dropped the pirate motif in favor of a return to generic fantasy. Yeah, probably too many people complained.Me personally, I think Risen 2 is just meh not because of the pirates, but because the gameworld feels badly designed. Right now I feel no motivation to play Risen 3. The setting shown so far simply doesn't interest me at all.

Right now I feel no motivation to play Risen 3. The setting shown so far simply doesn't interest me at all. To be honest I'm confused by your guys comments. I don't know how you can formulate an opinion on the world setting in Risen 3 from a 2 minute video that showed a battle between the hero and some sort of undead necromancer in a ruin? Yes it doesn't appear to be a pirate theme, which I did enjoy, but surly we can't comment on the success of the Risen 3 theme until we actually know what it is....or am I missing something "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
