Too bad about the pixelated graphics. Otherwise, it looks good, if a bit over-the-top (but perhaps that's the point).

The cross where Shebzu spilled his seed and people licked it from the ground.

The term 'putting everything into it' is a figure of speech, not something to be taken literally.

no offence to anyone who likes those style graphics but no way im playing that in 2016+

maybe if it came out in like 1996 we could talk

e- everything about this game looks retarded/terrible lol

dont know why people think excessive curse words are cool in entertainment, i feel like most people who think that way grew up in rly conservative homes and thats one of the only ways they can be edgy

Well, some people just cannot stand graphics that are below top-notch and/or just cannot see some art styles as a deliberate design choice, instead seeing it as some kind of "thing of the past".

To be honest, I don't like the art style either. But that has nothing to do with the year, it's just a personal preference.

Absolutely. SCUMM adventures or even masterpieces like Another World are graphics-wise, very, very playable today, and I consider them to have better graphics than, let's say, Sword Coast Legends. 3D can be great, but in many cases is just a cheap substitute for the quality and effort that was put into 2D, and also it can be confusing as heck.

But don't pity the millenials, let them enjoy their shiny modern classics.

I think these graphics are cute. I don't mind playing with these graphics. I don't like crappy 3d.

And there we go with the graphics argument again... I find the graphics and artstyle beautiful, but I always forget that this is the codex, where everyone pretends not to be a graphics whore but somehow graphics must always be the main concern.

I really love the Gothic series, especially the German versions, for their colloquial dialogue and liberal use of swearwords, it really adds to the atmosphere in those games. But here? Holy fucking shit this isn't "grimier, scarier, nastier" than Fallout, this is just fucking immature. A couple of hardass characters saying fuck all the time? Sure! Having a "fuck you" dialogue option in most conversations? Why not! Basing your entire game around the premise of inserting the word "fuck" anywhere and everywhere possible? I guess I would've loved this back when I was 12 and easily amused.

Did you enjoy AoD's dialogues? A large part of it felt like that to me (not all of it thank god).

I agree with the swearing. As well as nudity in games or overly sexualized females. Its just gratuitous and unnecessary.

But, I can think a game looks like shit and still love it. Because it is a game. It is made for playing, not for looking at. Are you this much of a superficial pretentious fuck when it comes to playing monopoly? You'll only play if the little hat and thimble are shined to gleam and the bills are crisp and the board has no salsa stains? Would you only play poker with a 3d card set?

I don't go for this bullshit art style argument people make either. Its usually the same weirdos that buy game soundtracks, but that's another story in both cases.

I bet you like your "games" to be more slightly interactive movie than game? Most of you fucking trough suckers think you like games when you don't. The only important thing about games is if they are good games. Nothing superficial. No putting form over function.

Why don't you post on fandango and IMDB and leave the people that actually like games alone. Why would you think your monkey spewing would be relevant at all in this thread? Just go preorder your hipster shit like Dark Souls 3 and leave the people that are here for a reason to the reason we are here.

Compare this:

To another game set in the strange world and released 26 years earlier.

Altered Destiny is graphical consistent. Death Trash looks like bunch of sprites viewed in 1280x1024. Look at this font. I have not used this in graphical modes even when had 320x200 B&W display! Look at small inscriptions and compare them to big! Discrepancy everywhere. They are not big things, but they gradually add to overall cargo cult look. Developers should've started with fucking using proper VGA resolutions!

P.S. Would play if combat is turn-based.

Yeah but it was in latin, so it probably sounded pretentious as fuck.
Futue te ipsum.

The demo seemed a little excessive with its fucks, but the full version turned out to be quite fine with its writing, keeping it to appropriate characters and situations. Nobles spoke differently to commoners or criminals. It wasn't too excessive.
