[Spectacle]

I really wonder to what degree this game is going to resemble d&d 4th ed?

 

[catfood]

At-wills gonna have a 2 sec cooldown, encounters 10 and dailies 45 or something stupid like that no doubt.

 

[King Crispy]

Did you feel that? That was Gary rolling over.

 

[Luzur]

SSI, where are you?!

SSI, where are you?!

SSI, where are you?!

SSI was acquired by Mindscape in 1994, spent time as part of Mattel, and finally became part of Ubisoft (in March 2001), which has since retired the brand name.

I actually got to visit the SSI offices in San Jose, CA once. I think I already told this story here once, but I traded a few motherboards to them for a whole box of their games.

Suffice it to say, it was awesome.

God i hope this flops...

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

Just the fact that it is 4th edition fills me with uncontainable rage. And the fact other fact that it will be real time press A fast to win shit makes me rage even more. To top it off the fact that they call it an rpg when it clearly will not be one pushes the rage level beyond what a mere emoticon can express so I will simply spam the same ones a few times.

 

[Crooked Bee]

I wouldn't mind a 4th ed turn-based RPG/dungeon crawler.

 

[Metro]

I watched a thirty minute 'demo' on Giant Bomb a week ago and it's pretty much what you'd expect: a generic hack and slash with $15 production value. From what little I saw I doubt any major rules will come into play, 4th Ed. or otherwise. Also telling is the fact the game has gotten little to no marketing so obviously they're hoping to sell units based on the D&D brand alone without revealing its mediocrity. It's due for release tomorrow but I haven't seen it on Steam or any other digital download website.

WELL THEN I GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!

No fucking trace of 4th ed MECHANICS can be found ANYWERE in this game!

 

[Excidium]

Fucking Atari only does shit with the D&D license.

 

[J1M]

They are putting this in stores for PC for $10? lol

All the videos do their best to show a flashy move and hide actual gameplay.

I suppose the move names will be from 4th edition, but I wouldn't expect anything like what they first announced.

 

[Metro]

Here's a video of extended game play -- unfortunately it's of the beginning and the Giant Bomb guys are as air headed as ever.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

That name always makes me chuckle. It makes me think of an unholy abomination of a Daggerfall mod about Icewind Dale.

[meh]

Better spend some money on Hellcats & Hockeysticks setting games...

 

[sser]

Looks just as good if not better than DSIII.

No

One of those turds might not stink as much as the other, but I still wouldn't eat it.

Goddamn MMORPG apes.

Oh look, you can bash barrels. Imaginative.

If the player is a Wizard does he lightning bolt the barrel or go all quarterstaff on it?
