I'm a fan of the game. I've played a large number of MMO's but for me its about the setting. I think Turbine has done a good job making the game feel like Middle-Earth. There are some minor issues with the quests and solo playability of the epic storyline quests but LOTRO is getting my time and...
Not to sidetrack here but Riddick is getting a sequel?
I was only aware of the game Dark Athena.. can you point me in the direction of your info on this Frank.
Well with my limited experience I'm not sure it does have a huge departure in a way you might want it to. But the scenery and feel of a world to me is what sells a shared world. I know I can't expect a single-player game experience online.
Well Felon, for me it is the unabashed nature of the universe I find appealing in AoC. Yes you will still have fedex quests, yes it will still follow many of the standard MMO conventions.
Frankly if you want to feel like you aren't in an MMO - which to some extent is how your comment reads...
Having seen both hands on I say Conan is the more impressive of the two titles. I liked Warhammer but it is still pretty rough, at least the version they demo's at Origins this year. While it has grown a heck of a lot in a year since I last saw it it falls into a pretty typical mold.
Conan...
Well i have to agree with about every point you made. As I remarked to my wife after walking out - 3 was not the movies sequence number, it was the number of films they were writing independently before they decided to combine them for a bigger budget and as a way to escape the series as actors...
Yes, he used the voice the first time he and Parkman fought in the sewer/warehouse (can't remember what that was). So I don't think its Eden's power and he has yet to display that power at all.
Oh. Um.. Good point. Its been so long since Heroes was on I guess I blocked out that insidious Deal or No Deal BS. Plum forgot it existed. Since I don't watch 24 when its airing I guess no big deal, now I have a lead into Heroes - though I guess I won't probably have that choice for long knowing...
I think I know how it ends.. now that Daniel is with Adria I think we'll see him get all bumpy faced and pasty and her turn good and ascend at the end..
I have not seen the next few remaining episodes though I do know they are not wrapping up the Ori storyline until the first telefilm so I...
I enjoyed it, good drama, elements of a mystery, an action show and a serial story. I do regret the counterprogramming to Heroes though, so i may have to Tivo this until that series is done for the season.
Has anyone else had issues with strong lag in towns? I have two PCs and I play it on both but they both show problems with severe lag - even at medium settings. It reminds me in many ways of Matrix online when it first launched - it was hardly playable because of visual lag.
Whatever one might think of the ending I think they are shooting themselves by holding off until 2008 for the next season. Plenty of time for people to forget and the ratings were already flagging downward this season.
I'm not as amazed as a lot of folks I guess.. some of the wrap up felt...
Well I've seen it twice now, I enjoyed it greatly. They are still too kidified but I understand the marketing monsters behind that. There are a number of in-jokes and references to how silly the cartoon was or the movies were. It definitely has more angst and a more mature focus as far as the...
Not an origin story - it picks up after they have defeated Shredder and are all growing apart as a team - Leo goes off to study martial arts, Don gets a tech support job, Raph becomes a masked vigilante and Mikey.. well he's doing kids parties dressed up as a Ninja Turtle impersonator.. so far...
Nope, I actually got frustrated with NWN2 the other day and fired up my copy of BG2 just to relive the goodness.. and then I had to remember how to play 2E D&D.. sigh..
Well the CG is really bad - but the film has been sitting in the can for awhile looking for a distributor. I honestly don't think it is a reason to avoid buying it and supporting the series however.. I find it very similar in the Cg design to the old BABYLON 5 stuff - which was produced by...
