Yeah, except the intuitive thing to me would be to have trainers for base skills, and then just use skill points for ranks. It makes no sense that you can teach yourself Fire Magic from scratch in the field, but need some jackass to teach you to do it better, lol. Regardless though, I liked...

Oh shit, I've been using that "only show known skills" checkmark. Fuck! Serves me right for thinking they'd keep it Might and Magic and still need trainers.

Can you learn skills you don't pick at creation? So far I've only found the trainers of higher ranks (Expert+).

Ok, so wtf. I found a simple "Wooden Shield" in the first spider well dungeon, and it fucking requires Expert Shields just to equip it? LOL? And what's with this 50% block chance stuff? What is going on there? Everyone just has a base 50% chance to avoid/block attacks? My crusader did dick...

Oh that, and the fact that apparently when I quit, Uplay is still running after I close it, and when I try to run MMX again it just says it's already running. Fucking wtf? Uplay blows. Yo dawg, I heard you like steam, so we put a steam in your steam so you can steam while you steam.

Just started this. Really should have bought it at the reduced pre-order price, but whatever, I was broke at the time. Not a fan at all of the highly restrictive race/class selection thing, but other than that I'm very much liking it, and looking forward to delving into it more!

Never tell a stranger you're fucking (or had been fucking) their gf/wife. Their relationship is not your business. That's the stupidest fucking thing you can do, seriously. Other than that, do whatever feels good with your own morals, or lack thereof.

What the fuck is a Uplay?

Holy shit people, it's quite simple. There's a bit of an overhang/lip between the rim and the seat, so any up-splash can hit that, in addition to your ass/thighs. Nobody in here can claim they've never had a diarrhea type shit that splashed all over the place, including on your ass/thighs a...

Yeah I guess I just don't have as discerning an eye as others. It really doesn't bother me at all. I look at that picture with the door and I'm like "Cool." But then again I've never been one for ultra-realism in my games. The better the graphics get, the more they tend to slant toward...

Yeah I have a feeling this is going to blow away even my already high expectations. Looks/sounds fantastic.

I think it still looks just fine for a game like this in the "bad" pictures posted. I don't understand it when people bitch so much about graphics that look just fine, but maybe look a bit dated. If they look "dated" but from an era that still had good-looking graphics, then what the fuck is the...

Yeah, I feel the same way. Similar to stuff like Zelda, Mario, etc, when the big 3D paradigm shift happened. It's great, sure, but it no longer felt like Zelda/Mario/M&M anymore. To me, anyway.

Chick protagonist, lame.

It's actually quite the awesome little RPG/platformer thinger. Controller recommended though.

Hmm, that stuff about Unity doesn't bode well for Pantheon This game will probably get my money if I can get it for 15 or less. I absolutely love the MM series, and the older tile-based Xeen games are the best of the bunch.

Yes maps in-game (some form of exploration/purchase required to "fill them in" though), no, never show your location on them, and zero minimap. Done and done.

Yes, the limited viewable range is the main reason to bother with actual dark nights. Sure, give everyonesomekind of response, even if its a simple torch. But that torch only really reaches ~20 feet away, whereas your normal viewable range during daylight is much much farther.

I checked the wiki a bit. Not necessarily wanting spoilers, but basically wanted to A) see what in the world I need to do to unlock new classes, B) try to figure out more of this inscrutable item/stat system (it's not very intuitive at all, really), and C) pick up any other random tidbits. I...

Ok my second Alchemist got fisted in the second dungeon, I made it to level 6 or something. Hooray! Didn't even know I could level up my golem and equip him until right before I died. Anyone have some kind of noob guide/breakdown? This game is quite intriguing, I love the complexity/depth...

I gave up on this show at the beginning of season 3. It had gradually declined from S1E1 to then, and by that point I was just so fucking sick of the gays, the shrieking hispanic woman, Manny, etc. Such a PC diversity circus. Really obnoxious.

Wow yeah, just got this. Awesome and extremely overwhelming all at the same time. I got anally raped in the first area on my alchemist.

That's the one! Thanks man

Just got an iPad, looking for some good games to play. In particular, there was one I remember seeing at some point from this thread, but I can't find it fishing through the posts. It was a first-person old-school style RPG like Eye of the Beholder et al. Anyway, recommendations for anything...

Some of you keep talking about how certain mechanics in EQ were fun for the person doing them, but "boring" for everyone else. Well you know what? In an MMO (a game that you're playing for hours on end at a time), there need to be ups and downs--lulls in the fun. Humans thrive on relativity for...

Oh god Surgeon Simulator is cracking me the fuck up. What the fuck is this game?

Yeah it shortens since they finish before their estimates.

It's reminding me why I never even finished the campaign (first time ever not finishing a Blizzard game). It's just not fucking Starcraft anymore. Looking forward to the Half-Lifes though.

There are never fewer than 2 hero characters, so in a 2 player game, one player plays the Overlord, the other player runs 2 hero characters. The reason I suggest no fewer than 4 heroes is because while it does scale, 2 heroes favors the OL quite a bit, and 3 heroes favors the heroes quite a...

+1 for Descent 2E. A couple of points: 1) Descent is playable with 2-5people, but I would highly recommend using 4heroesat all times 2) The number of classes actually has doubled to 16, contrary to what Vaclav posted

Zones never bothered me in EQ, and never detracted from my feeling of it being an actual world I was exploring. It also has the added bonus, as Mr Creed states, of allowing the designers to quite easily add new content into existing areas, if they design their zones well. In fact, that's...

Yeah as much as universal loot sounds good on paper to help mitigate un-wanted raid drops and such, in reality it VERY quickly makes the game quite stale and soul-less. Same issue with point/badge systems. MMORPG's go hand in hand with seeking specific items off of specific baddies, crushing...

Lol @ voice controls. Such a fucking gimmick like 3D, love it.

Hmm, interesting! I guess I'll try Quelaag's next time around.

Well I have Quelaag's sword, but it's not upgraded I don't think. Would that be much better? My issue will be I've been using a spear the entire game, so I'm going to suck ass with anything else. Good times! haha

I've been stuck on Ornstein and Smough forever now. I've only attempted them ~15 times, but that's been spread across 3-4 play sessions. I'm currently using a lightning spear, and don't really have any magic. Basically my issue is I'll bring in that NPC dude to help me, and half the time he'll...

Yeah, a movie is linear and can buffer quite easily, a game has a ton of shit it has to buffer based on all the possible decisions the player can make. Some games might work ok, but the more complex ones I can't imagine working all too well.

Well I mostly meant IRL, because that's when they lack the feeling of nipples. But yeah, they're also a bummer in pictars

Inverted nipples on a pair of fantastic tits. Man, such a bummer.
