It's not worth mentioning because everyone here already reads RPGWatch daily, but the second one is up.

*foams at mouth*

Discuss hopelessly.

Interesting use of skills to modify the player's perception of the story through dialogue choices.

The article should be called Lets Play part 2. Lets Play #2 has a different meaning.

That one was a very nice touch.

This game is going to be great! The massive amount of choices are going to definately make me want to play it over and over with several different character types. It sounds like this will change the game quite a bit. It is supposed to come out this summer, right?

"Let's Play #2" is as far from the intended meaning as "Let's Play part 2" is. "Let's Play" should be separated from the count, like this, for example: "Part 2 of Let's Play" or "Let's Play, #2".

Yeah, but indie devs often miss release dates. It might get pushed to friday or even monday...

Let's Play: The Second

None of these titles have anything to do with the content within, therefore I suggest a subtitle -- Let's Play AoD #2 : The Assin' returns

All the dialogue is in quotations. So funny! I wonder if they used any recorded dialogue... probably not. There's no room in Dick Cheney's America for voice actors!

are you talking about? I could give you a spiel about how indie games can't afford VO, quotations were necessary because there is narration in the dialog, and how that part about Dick Cheney is irrelevant, but I smell a troll.

Indie games can't afford ViolentOpposition?

Err...wut.

Anyway, not all dialogue is in quotes, and the inconsistency sticks out a bit (at least to my eyes); i.e. compare this and this.

 

[Amasius]

Haven't you read the thing?

Also, up until this moment, the forces of good were engaged in an epic battle with the sons of shaitan who demanded quotation marks in dialogues. The forces of good have lost, which is why the dialogues look different now.

 

[Shagnak]

Nope. I jumped straight to the screen shots because I was wondering what flabbyjack was on about.
But that's pretty funny stuff.

Voice-overs. You know, the thing publishers insist upon that ruins games by cutting dialogue down to about 5% of the content.

It's a lot easier to write out some text than to hire voice actors, pay them monies, edit and organize the sound bites into files, and queue them up in the program properly. If you guys don't know what Dick Cheney's America is you should go outside once in a while.

PS - I smell a spamming forum whore.

Every time you say "Dick Cheney's America" I picture you wearing a tinfoil hat.

 

[Lord Chambers]

Would this be a bad time to mention I'm a card-carrying member of Dick Cheney's America, Neocon division? We drive hummers that run on oil imperialism.
