Wow is Psyc just dumb or is he trolling?

LOL!! Wow, you’re the poster boy for transferral. “Overly defensive”? This from the guy who can’t handle the fact that someone dared to “badmouth” people who enjoy a game – oh, except I didn’t, did I? You drew first blood, as anyone with eyes can see, but obviously that not how it went down in the world that exists only in your own messed up head. You’re not even worth my indifference. Have a nice non-life, prick. /thread

Oh well, what can I say?
Keep being over-defensive, calling for support (“the rest of us”, really?) and insulting people randomly if that’s what floats your boat.

Just admitting that you were talking out of your ass could have been simpler, but maybe that’s just me.

And no, competent reviews don’t “bear every point you made”, but that’s even because you didn’t make any point (beside a false statement about the “unfairness” of the game), you just took your chance to be childish and badmouth people who like this product.

@Tuco: you also fail at being either clever or relevant. Every review of the game (and I’ve now read a few) bears out every single point I made – and at the time I was talking in strictly theoretical terms. But hey, keep being an ass online if that’s what it takes to feel like you matter. The rest of us see you for what you are and couldn’t care less about your psychosis.

@psycros: I’m not sure how stating that you don’t know what you are talking about should be counted as “insulting”. Especially when it’s obviously the truth.

Beside, exactly because it’s obvious that you didn’t played the game, it’s not clear why you felt in the right position to make quick and hasty judgments about the challenge it offers and the people who enjoy it.

Try to re-read your post. You stated, in this exact order:
“I still wouldn’t buy it”,
“It’s for masochists”,
“It’s for bloodshot-eyed 15-yr old Dew addicts”,
“It’s for MMO addicts who love to grind”.

Not a single one of your statement is accurate or even remotely resembling the truth, for what that matters.
Next time you can try to be less quick in spouting your ******** and then you can be assured you won’t be called out or mocked for it.

@Tuco: you clearly have no reading comprehension. A toddler could tell from my post I haven’t played the game. But by all means, keep insulting people randomly on forums and pretending your a “l337″ game master – I’m sure its where you gain the majority of your self-worth.

thank for the comment, tuco. did not play risen and hunter tri, so no clue what those feel like…

i watched some pvp on youtube, those duels reminded me of Rune somehow…

looks like a game I’d like. but bad pc port is kind sad…

It’s actually quite unique, but you can think about it like some mix between Severance, Risen and Monster Hunter Tri.

You don’t have a big amount of combos, it’s more about positioning and knowing the attack pattern to every enemy to exploit it.

On top of that, the interesting thing is how every single weapon in the game has its own unique “moveset”, which can change significantly how to use them in battle.

one more thing… can you jump in the game? do you do some wall run, or climbing? or any acrobatic moves?

additionally, can you grab, throw, kick, headbutt, and use shield to bash enemies? can you behead your enemies, or cut limbs off?

do you need to lock on to enemies? or they just auto locked?

By: gorilla325

gorilla325 — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 01:14:41 +0000

I wonder what’s the combat like? could you list a few games that have similar combat mechanics? is it like severance blade of darkness? does it have combos? how do you perform a combo? is it like devil’s may cry? or is like severance? :p

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout
of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Yes the only good thing about Windows live is that you can create and use offline profiles.
Im assuming thats what Zam Zam is making reference to. that being Said. Windows live is still as usless to me as a gamer today, as it was in its inception. Steam i tolerate, but only because it works.. and though i might have to tag the internet now and then to update it, Lets me play all my content offline.

For the record you don’t need to be online to play this game, nor does it enforce online interaction if you don’t want it to.

By the way, burdening this game with the awful GFWL is another HUGE mistake.
It is like the creators of the game do not want us to play it.
Perhaps they do not know of the incredible aversion for GFWL that is common amongst PC gamers.

@Tuco

Thank you very much.
That is important information for someone who avoids online multiplayer like the black plague.

@psycros
I have heard a lot of good things about this game.
I understood it is indeed very difficult, but in a very positive, stimulating way.
But no game is for everyone of course.
I, for one, am very curious after all I have heard.

The fact that it is a bad bare bone port is very disappointing though.
Only 2 days after the game released a ‘modder’ produced a mod to enhance the graphics to be more appropriate for current day gaming pc’s, something the creators of the game were unable (or even unwilling) to do during all the months they worked on this port.

This is the screen I got when I tried to sign out of Games for Windows.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t276/paelian/DATA2012-09-1702-08-31-41.jpg

It says I can’t save my progress if I’m not signed in. There’s no real indication that the saves are local. The documentation is kind of sparse, so when faced with this screen, it seems I have few options.

Oh, and @psycrios: you clearly have no clue of what are you talking about.
Being challenging without never being unfair is exactly what this game excels in.
There isn’t any kind of “masochism” involved and the game is perfectly manageable by anyone who isn’t mentally or physically impaired.

By: Tuco

Tuco — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 00:44:19 +0000

@Argos: he didn’t mention it ” clearly”, he mentioned it “wrongly”, which is a different thing.
In fact he is completely wrong, which also makes him unprofessional and incompetent for his job.

You can play offline without multiplayer features on OR you can play online and stay “hollow” to avoid interactions with other players.

This game could have a native PC version that works beautifully and PvP could be totally optional and I still wouldn’t play it. What possible fun is to be gained from masochistic difficulty and recovering the same ground over and over? I love a truly challenging game but this sounds like its only going to appeal to the ultra-hardcore, bloodshot-eyed 15-yr old Dew addicts (or those who love grinding the same MMO instances day after day – typically the same crowd).
