<a href=http://pc.ign.com>IGN</a> have done a <a href=http://pc.ign.com/articles/602/602892p1.html>preview</a> of master creating's upcoming cyberpunk action RPG Restricted Area.<blockquote>Some cool tactical options are opened up by the presence of exploding barrels. If you shoot one of these babies, it can take out a whole group of enemies at once. Since many of the enemies are a good bit slower than you, you can get a nice little train going before leading them to a cluster of barrels. Mutants is so stupid.</blockquote>Exploding barrels aren't exactly the vanguard of innovation they were back on the NES.

Going by your little quote; I don't see them calling it an innovation just a cool combat option. There's a huge difference. It seems odd to call them out on soemthing they seemingly didn't write..

not mutants, dumbass - the AI is stupid

but yeh - exploding barrels? if the game is so barren as to require mention of them - i'll pass

Mutants IS so stupid?

This game might be fun if you treat it as the "diablo in teh future" it seems to be.

What's wrong with you guys? Restricted Area never presented itself as anything more than an action RPG. It's like listening to American Idol and expecting Beethoven.

NMA has dubbed it a Diablo clone, if my memory serves. I'm not saying thats a bad thing, on one hand. On the other, I might just be saying I'm not eagerly awaiting it.

But you said that it would be filled with plots and intrigue...and fun stuff like that. I feel so relieved that I didn't take you seriously. Not even after you persisted.

After playing the demo to this, I sure as hell won't be buying it.

I suggest giving the demo a spin before defending/hating on the game.

 

[Sol Invictus]

Are you sure, RGE?

Fuck it, I preordered it out of frustation. There hasn't been a decent Isometric Scifi game since Fallout 2, pretty pathetic.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

anyone got a link to that demo? I cant find it on their site.

Are you sure, RGE?

Yes. I mentioned in a thread unrelated to Restricted Area that I'd like to see a cyberpunk game where I get to experience interesting plots and intrigue or something like that. You suggested Restricted Area, I asked you if you were kidding (since I had already seen the gameplay video), and you claimed to not be kidding. Unfortunately the search engine won't go that far back in time.
