That was posted a while back! As cover art, anyway.

But yeah, I really do like what new art there is, the style is cool.

Eh... has something new happened? Why are we back to fapping cautiosly Jaesun?

The horrible information from all the various professional gaming reviewers who have never played a cRPG before.

Still waiting for some solid info from oh I don't know... a reviewer that has actually played a cRPG before and can finally give us exact specifics (cRPG mechanics wise).

I'm hoping for a Blood Dragon-esque "preview", if you know what I mean.

That UI is awful compared to MMVI-VIII by the way, dunno why people laud it so. It looks like something that should be in an iPhone game.

What do you guys like about it?

To me it looks like the usual "Floating UI With Big Rounded Icons" that we've been putting the hate on for the last ten years. I like my UI blocky, solid and straightforward.

I dunno how you are able to judge a UI without messing with the game or at least getting a real preview.

I don't know if a UI is any good until I know how many clicks shit takes and everything you use more than once every five minutes or so is hotkeyed and instantaneous

I don't care if they make shit look rounded on the corners man... I guess I want legible fonts? Don't make the foreground text illegible against the background?

Luzur got into the VIP forums, so we may finally get some more tangible information, or at least as much as NDA allows.

Apparently not, sadly. They might've been more impressed with Luzur's collection, and my knowledge of the games doesn't really surpass his, so if they wanted one and only one then he's a more reasonable choice.

A shame. I really hoped they'd invite you both! I think you may have been too critical here and there :P

Good thing at least Luzur has made it though.

Yeah I am a bit shocked that Sceptic was not chosen. You do have a very good grasp of the Might and Magic series and it's mechanics. But happy to see at least ONE person on that VIP section who actually knows and understand's cRPG's. Here is hoping to hearing finally some solid info (depending on the NDA). :salute:

I think it's got all the potential in the world. It's the execution that matters. So far, what the designer has stated, not the previewers, seems to be moving in the right direction.

In the context of the game what does "cautiously fapping" means? I though that it meant to be an exercise of self-pleasuring in a surreptitious way to not get caught. Why would you do that for a game whose qualities are yet not known?

There's some info, gameplay videos etc. The qualities are half-known.
That's why it's fapping "cautiously".
I for one welcome the X, it's already clear it's not gonna be popamole. Question remains, is it gonna be any good.

Dude that joke has already sailed, the issue has been cleared with admins.
Besides, you're even greener newb than me, so chill out, don't edgy out like a 2004 vet, you look like a fool.
Post well, post happy and the KKK will come to you.

I'm here since 2008. Even before if you take in account my lurking period. This is just my second account Bryce, I'm the shitposter formely known as Kosmonaut, the one that trolled you with the Schattenjäger doppelganger account.

Anyways, I don't really care about joining dates, I was just thanking you for answering my question.

Sincerely, The Misogynerd.

actually, i may not reveal much at all, upon treat of being dragged to court.

Apparently not, sadly. They might've been more impressed with Luzur's collection, and my knowledge of the games doesn't really surpass his, so if they wanted one and only one then he's a more reasonable choice.

actually, you have a better grasp of some the underlying mechanics of the game.

so i would actually have liked to have some backup over there.

Not that I'd have to put my butt on ice everytime you call me "Bryce" and you're welcome to go on with it for all I care, but consider this. I was banned a few days ago because somebody higher up thought I'm this guy's alt. I contacted the admins and some info was exchanged.

I supposed the reason I was unbanned is that that someone doesn't think I'm an alt anymore. Otherwise I'd have stayed banned.
If that doesn't convince you (or Jason or anyone else), then please, knock yourself out and Bryce away.

:hero:
