  1. any good DS games?

    Etrian Odyssey is an awsome old-school Wizardry stlye RPG dungeon crawl. You even have to draw your own maps on digital 'graph paper' using the touch stylus. It's huge, it's bloody hard, and it's tons of fun. I bought a DS mainly to play it and it was definately worth it. It's anime...

  2. Prediction: the next release Dwarf Fortress will be INSANE!

    Eh, it's not that hard to pick up. My girlfriend, who usually only plays stuff like The Sims, Oblivion, and Bejeweled watched me playing Dwarf Fortress for about an hour and by the end was insisting I install a copy on her computer. Now she plays it more then I do! :shock: Actually...

  3. Cow Guru, I too have been banned.

    The drama on Bethesda's offical Fallout 3 forums will to make all this Oblivion discussion look like a love fest. That is, assuming they dare to make a Fallout 3 forum. :twisted:

  4. Gaider on Ultima VII - 'It sucks, my games are better'

    Yeah, the problem is the 'at any level'. Sure, in most respects it's awkward, clunky, and old, but for gameplay, world design, and RPG choices that go beyond 'killing stuff for loot', it can hold its head high alongside any modern game. Similarly the Ultima Underworld games have not even been...

  5. Which Ultima to try?

    Plus you have to play the two Ultima Underworlds because they transcend awesome.

  6. GalCiv 2 & Copy Protection

    If you enjoyed those games then you have to play Master of Orion right now. It is one of those rare ultra-classics in the same league as Civilization, X-Com, Master of Magic, and other such 'golden oldies'. MOO2 is also fun, but I would play the first one to start. It has a clean simplicity...

  7. My GalCiv2 Review

    Similar, but expanded. I burned out on GC1 too, and relatively quickly. There's a lot more fun stuff to do in GC2, I like the planet maps for example, and it's a lot more polished, but at it's heart it's preaty similiar. Overall though it's more fun. If you're not really sure I'd hold out...

  8. Interview Pete Hines interview at Gaming Trend

    Yeah, I've been really impressed by just how well DosBox runs with a lot of games, including stuff like the old Elder Scrolls. It's really a shame Bethesda hasn't made Daggerfall more available. I still own my origional copy, but I know it's not easy to get ahold of for those who don't...

  9. On the subject of NSFW pics on the forum.

    Ugh, well I can voice a strongly worded opinion, but it's preaty clear which way the wind is blowing, and I'm not going to pretend my opinion counts for anything here. Thing is, asking for a minimum level of semi-intellegent discourse isn't really in violation of an 'unmoderated' forum...

  10. Oblivion question for MSFD

    I really wonder about that poll. I wonder what exactly 'trouble finding Caius' really meant. Did it mean "I looked on the wrong street at first but then found him a couple minutes later" or did it mean "I'm illiterate and brain dead, never found him at all, and was unable to continue with the...

  11. On the subject of NSFW pics on the forum.

    It would be good if it defaulted to disabled images if you aren't logged in. When I, and possibly others, pop on to lurk during lunch break I often don't bother to log in. As for the NSFW stuff I think it ought to stay behind links at a minimum. It's not witty, it's not funny, it's about as...

  12. Interview Pete Hines on Fallout 3

    Actually, I agree with this. I mean, it's a neat idea to have AI thieves able to loot your house, but I think it would be hard to do without turning it into a sub-game with upgradable locks, guard hiring, and all that. Furthermore, the ideal end result of fretting out about protecting your...

  13. Interview Codex interview with Basilisk Games

    Actually, I like the graphics a lot. Far more attractive then the Spiderweb ones. Attractive and clean. I really don't need more then what it's got for graphics. Sounds like a fun game, too. It makes me excited too, not just for the game, but because I hope these small 'classic' RPG...

  14. OBLIVION GERMAN VIDEO!!!

    Maybe so. I never played Trespasser. The physics in all the games I've played have either seemed totally wonky or just weirdly 'off'. I all fairness I suspect 'realisitic' physics is a hell of a big order and things like Havoc use a lot of fudges, cheats, and shortcuts to get things looking...

  15. OBLIVION GERMAN VIDEO!!!

    Well, you'll probably want to get used to wonky physics. They'll be with us for a while. Graphics have taken 20+ years of development to get where they are now, but physics in games is still brand new. It's going to take quite some time until physics really start to look really good. If...
