Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Another <a href=http://www.beyond-divinity.com>Beyond Divinity</a> review! This time it's <a href=http://www.videogameslife.com>Video Games Life</a>'s turn to share with us their <a href=http://www.videogameslife.com/pages/article/rvw/508.htm>opinion</a>, which, btw, is not overly positive. The score is <b>69%</b> and the word is that it's <i>an incredibly generic RPG, often playable, sometimes frustrating and never original</i>

    <blockquote>Combat is mostly reminiscent of Diablo, if not quite as smooth. It's fast, sometimes bewilderingly fast, so it’s a good thing the space bar pauses the action. There's a default key for auto-attacking the closest enemy, so easier grunts aren't a problem but if you're unfortunate enough to stumble across higher level monsters before you're ready for them, one of your characters could be dead in a couple of hits. In the usual fashion, potions instantly replenish health so often fighting major enemies revolve around the correct timing of consumption of your red vials. It’s addictive, nonetheless; level ups are often hugely rewarding, allowing you to add to an unusually detailed skill tree, and the acquisition of a phenomenal range of new equipment incites a sense of achievement through long, sometimes tedious battling.</blockquote>In other words, if you want to play something like that, get <a href=http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2>Diablo II</a> instead.
