Game News Underrail Dev Log #43: Release Date - December 21st

[Zorba the Hutt]

I don't have to look, i was there, i voted for KotC. Knights of the Chalice is one of the best translations of d&d ruleset into computer game ever made - and it lost because of not-so-prestigious individuals who (obviously because of their bad taste in games) voted DA:O. Take it as you wish. I, as a codexer, was butthurt ashamed because of this. And still am. Also i feel a little less presigious since then .

Yes, still can't believe DA:O beat KOTC.

hall of shame

I voted DA

Whatever, voted for Dragon Age.

Only played DA out of all those games, so DA.

Dragon Age, both on its own merits, and because the notion that someone might like it causes simpletons to have kittens, which is enjoyable in itself.
It has been a slow year couple of years.

Only played DA and MoW, and DA wins that by a long shot.

Out of this lot I played Drakensang, Risen and DA.
Drakensang was crap.
Risen was good old G2 and I liked it a lot.
But in the end I voted DA because of its scope and lenght.

Dragon Age.

ENCHANTMENT!

dont see the results as disappointing. any codexer whose opinion is worth jackshit was pleasantly suprised by DA even though nobody went as far as claiming it the best game ever..... the rest is the meme-morons who simply want to show their hardcore, oldschool attitude ignoring that most of them were still pissing their pants during the golden age of cRPGs , know them only from hearsay & GoG and cant even tell apart an action-adventure from a proper cRPG.

there might be a few exceptions like skyway

Not sure who VD voted for:

A lot of titles, not much to choose from:
Knights of the Chalice - the best TB crawler since ToEE. Possibly even better than ToEE.
Risen - pretty good, Chapter 1 - brilliant, "game" of the year, overall it falls short. The latter chapters are dumb hack-n-slash. It's still a pretty good game, but...
Dragon Age - far from perfect, but very enjoyable and has plenty of role-playing options. Tactical combat doesn't hurt either.

I thought DA was the KC option

Just read my amazing review:

Yes, still can't believe DA:O beat KOTC.

The same guy who wrote the glowing KotC review in the cRPG book voted for DA:O that year. Problem?

 

[Lurker King]

Thanks, Grunker!

 

[ArchAngel]

It is not my problems you are an Obsidian fag. Durance and GM are not enough to save the rest.

I was critizing you for saying that the combat is worse.

Ok, I didn't see the second bolded part :D
I don't agree, cooldown combat can never be better than what PoE has.

Is there some sort of demo for this game, or do I have to buy Early Access version? Trying to write a preview for another gaming forum, but its kind of futile without ever playing it.

 

[Dickie]

There used to be a demo, and you can probably find it floating around somewhere. I wouldn't go by that because it's so far out of date now that I think it would only give you the barest impression of what the game is like. It was a very early alpha version. Even when I played the game a couple years ago, the demo was missing large parts of the game that existed at that time when I bought it.

tl;dr: There is a demo, but don't trust it.

But dont trust it.

Yeah there's an old demo from 2012 which had a tiny chunk of the early game. You can still find it on the internet, but Styg has removed it from his site for a good reason. Terribly outdated on all aspects.
