RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS


Recommended Posts

 

I still don't really know what to think about this game. How will it work? Does it have singleplayer? How much fake is the walking on planets and space stations? Will it be an MMO like Eve?

 

From what I've gathered, you will actually live in space with Chris Roberts.  Although it has permadeath.

 

Kind of like the Ultima MMO with Lord British and events and things regularlybeing created around him?

I realize that few people on this board would care about this now, but an interesting sandbox/PvP MMO called Crowfall is in the final 24 hour of their Kickstarter campaign. I just found about it yesterday. They've made their goal of 850k, currently at 1.4M.

Well you can start with that or any other of the packages listed on the store page. The first two items listed are 'complete' in that you get access to alpha and beta testing, which at the moment exists in the form of "Arena Commander", which is the game's dogfighting module - i.e. it's a combat demo, no persistent world or economy stuff is implemented yet. You can also buy alpha (and later, beta) access separately if you don't want either of those starter ships. (It's not exactly made clear on those product pages but the Mustang option is for those who prefer a pure fighter, the Aurora is the merchant-oriented option)

 

And yeah, you can buy additional ships - and acquire a whole stable of them - either for real money now, or by 'earning' them in game later.

I kind of want Star Citizen to fail just to spite these cultist-like fans of the game (also the ensuing outrage would be amusing). But space MMOGs are always appealing.

Well I backed on Kickstarter back when there was, oh, less than a dozen different ships planned, and I've had no real reason to keep track of the dozens they've added since. The ships page shows the intended role of each ship which might be helpful, because what each person wants in their space sims is pretty divergent - explorer, fighter jock, peaceful merchant, pirate - all would prefer vastly different starting options. Hell, some of the ships are fleet carriers for massively multiplayer style raiding.

 

Personally, as a long-time Privateer fan I'll play and earn my new ships ingame. I will start with a Freelancer because of the two options available for the amount I felt like pledging, it's the one that's more likely to provide that Privateer-esque experience.

I wouldn't recommend anything but the Aurora package. Even if you have the money to spare. It should be enough for anyone to start with and then slowly get better stuff.  Instead you should save for a proper joystick so you'll be able to enjoy the flying properly. :)

Well, to bad they did not introduced it in WotLK, maybe I would still be playing that game :/

There is this new game on steam called Pillars of Eternity. Should I get it ?

It's by some fly-by-night company called "Obsidian Entertainment".  Never heard of them.  I wouldn't trust them.  Label it a "stay away" for now.  :shifty:
