My Dark Messiah review

[suibhne]

I just started a blog, frog blast the vent core, as an outlet for occasional reviews and semi-random, semi-coherent thoughts on the industry. Not much content there yet, but I have posted a detailed review of Dark Messiah in case anyone's interested. Have at it. :wink:

Give me another publication outlet and I'll agree. :D

What about bottle post? It really gets neglected nowadays...a shame, really a shame...

You want to post reviews here?

 

[Bah]

Going to have to pick RPGs to review first.

What about journals? All RPG heroes have their own journals, no? Are you familiar with the expression "Updated my journal"?

HI

I liked the review very much - especially the point were you stressed that the new game isn't an rpg, but an
FPS. And as such, it is a pretty good one.

I didn't intend to angle for that, no, but in retrospect I can see how it could've looked that way.

Dark Messiah is an RPG. Look, Wikipedia says so!

The game is a first person role playing game which lets you choose to one of many charcters from a Mighty Warrior to a Wise Mage

If the masses think it's an RPG, the Codex can review it.

You didn't answer my question! Seriously, we think Saint's died so we need more staff.

At first, I was against this idea since if the developers didn't advertise it (the game in question) as an RPG but I'm not sure any more. As for Dark Messiah however, I don't think the wikipedia article represents the masses or masses do really think it's an RPG, so it shouldn't be really here in my opinion.

edit: some corrections

Arkane have said countless times that its not an RPG. The Guild 2 would probably qualify as an RPG more than DMoMM.

You didn't answer my question! Seriously, we think Saint's died so we need more staff.

If you're looking for staff, there's this guy called Sol Invictus who runs his own RPG site and a Hellgate London fansite.

And I hope Saint's not dead. Maybe he's decided to wear animal skins and hunt elk for the rest of his life.

Arkane have said countless times that its not an RPG.

And Bethesda have said countless times that Oblivion is, yet we all know the real truth behind that. Your point?

The Guild 2 would probably qualify as an RPG more than DMoMM.

Well, if you write a review for it, sure. Seriously Silent Storm review. Escape Velocity Nova review. If it even has a sniff of RPG elements, we get to review it.

If you're looking for staff, there's this guy called Sol Invictus who runs his own RPG site and a Hellgate London fansite.

Unfortunately for us, that guy is an idiot.

Fair enough.

I'm getting both The Guild 2 and NWN2 on Thursday. I'll play them over the weekend and submit something. If you think think its suitable and you can use it, I'll write a more comprehensive review.

Died of shame maybe. He kinda disappeared after the GH incident.

suibhne,

that is a very well written review. much better than some of the professional site reviews.

you may well consider getting it posted in this site, as DarkUnderlord suggested.

I HATE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saint's been re-incarnated as Nick the Imperial? Oh what a cruel world.
