Game News "Neverwinter is truly a D&D game"

The third-person hack-n-slasher Neverwinter from Cryptic Studios now has some pre-alpha gameplay footage to show. Sadly, it's presented in this aggravating "we were nominated for show rewards but I guess we didn't win any" E3 video:

​

I think they got Dungeons & Dragons confused with World of Warcraft.

I think they got Dungeons & Dragons confused with World of Warcraft.

Is there any difference now?

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Jesus fucking Christ why does everything have to be going to shit?

Yeah. There's dialogue in World of Warcraft.

 

[Micmu]

UNSTOPPABLE !!
What is this? Unreal Tournament?
Also, >1000 hitpoints crap.

Typical console crap.

Why does this even use the D&D licence, let alone Neverwinter? Dungeon blow stuff up with WoW UI.

Actually it looks like an even worse DAO.

Stupid devs! Havent they learnt anything?

The key to 3rd view hack and slasher is a bikini butt. Preferably a hourglass figure, but a bikini butt is non-negotiable.

As for all you gloomy posters up there? Remember that Deus Ex, play in certain way, can be called an action game. Ditto with Bloodlines.

It's aint over until the fat lady sings. Wait for it!

What else would they spend money on? Game design? Don't be silly.

 

[Infinitron]

Why is the Youtube video called "Neverwinter Nights"? Stoopid tubers.

 

[Achilles]

I don't know, I think it looks kinda cool. Then again I did like Dragon Age 2 so maybe that doesn't bode well for the game

"Classic monsters straight out of the Monster Manual..." ...with 10,000 hit points.

This kind of games sucked since the days of Hillsfar and Deathkeep, and nobody ever wanted them.

Why don't they ever learn?

 

[LeStryfe79]

Dark alliance is far better than this and a decent diablo clone for a console game. The action in this looked worse than DDO although its clearly a loot grinder to boot, albeit a poor one. Even shit WoW players like a little depth in their popamole. This game appeals to NOBODY! Damn, publishers are stupid. Can it get any more pathetic?

:declining:

 

[Black]

:declining:

Are you challenging them?

 

[LeStryfe79]

Yes I am, I don't think cryptic can survive another fail. Time will tell. I'm a huge D&D and hack&Slash fan, and this game looks horrible to me. I AM their target audience and I barely made it through that shit video. F-U-C-K!!!!!!!!

 

[Edward_R_Murrow]

Is this supposed to be an action-RPG or something? Look at how slow it is.

ME OGRE! ME WIND UP FOR WHOLE MINUTE BEFORE ME SWING LIKE LITTLE KID WITH CLUB TOO BIG!

Yeah, I'm sure it's probably just the first level or whatnot, but that's still pretty damn pathetic to make an enemy look so gimpy.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Yeah it looks fail in terms of D&D, Action, and RPG. Why do they think anyone will play this? DDO is by no means a great game but looks light years ahead of this shit. Who do they think will play this? THEY OFFER NOTHING, LOL!

"X-COM : Enforcer is truly an X-COM game"

 

[LeStryfe79]

Of course I realize my hiveresque rage is over the top but goddamn. D&D is the wellspring from which all of Kodexia flows. Yet, it is dying a slow death. 5th ed looks shit as WotC has their heads up their asses, CRPGs offer no salvation, and the world of RPGs is forgetting its godfather. Is it game over for my childhood?

 

[Captain Shrek]

Is that Dragon age 2 engine perchance?

 

[sea]

Why are publishers so hellbent on ripping off World of Warcraft after all these years? Seriously, is there an actual reason, or are they just trying to throw their money away and this was the best way they could think up?

 

[sgc_meltdown]

I think WOW has become perceived as a genre style unto itself like the modern military conflict fps with multiplayer unlocks

so the logic follows that the closer your product resembles the apex banality the same resemblance will surely follow in sales numbers

remember these are people who don't play games but look at market graph trends and company stock to product launch relations

Fat loot ! FAT LOOT !
