Game Woes

[Eternity]

'lo guys, just wondering if you could help me out with my sexual life.

 

Heh, weren't you pleasantly surprised. Gotcha.

 

Anyway, I haven't bought a game in like, at least 7 months, because they have all been utter crap, or bullocks as you British people say, weirdos, what do you put in your tea. But I'm kind of screwed because some of my top priorities are RPG's and those damn things can waste your life just as bad as MMMORRGHG's do. However, I'm stuck between Dungeon Siege (the pictures look AWESOME...looks really fun, I suggest you check it out, it's been getting press lately) Never Winter Nights, and since I really loved BG2, I'm really looking forward to it, although I'm kind of put off by the whack priority on the damn 'modules' and strict Dungeons and Dragons play...and Morrowind , which is going to be huge. I mean, huge. A lot of prospective buyers are either put off Morrowind because the site is ugly, the forums suck, the multi-player (there isn't any) or they don't like the graphics.

 

Let me tell you, the graphics are sweet. It's kind of weird saying this, but the screenies don't give it justice. Download a bootleg video, and then tell me you think that isn't the prettiest thing you have ever seen. (No sarcasm, please.) Plus, the complexity is supposed to be AMAZING. I'm looking forward to it...but all these games are big time wasters! Plus I want Jedi Knight II!

 

Any recommendations?

i recommend cheddar cheese on ritz crackers.

[Rogue15]

I recommend MotS. but of course u'd be one of the people that goes and bashes a game for its graphics, etc. so don't bother.

or bullocks as you British people say

Nope that's only english people.. weirdos indeed

[StormHammer]

Heh...a bullock is a male cow...I think the word you're looking for is...********...Ooops, the word you're looking for I can't say, because there are preschool Jedi present. Eternity...we British people say a lot worse than that, believe me.

 

And I have semi-skimmed milk in my tea.

 

As for trying to decide between Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind...get them all, even if it takes you a while. You know you won't be happy until you do. That's part of my gameplan, anyway, along with all the other great titles being released.

 

Add Knights Of The Republic to the list as well.

 

I think my own Wanted list is getting out of control, and I'm on the way to gaming Nirvana. Too many games, too little time.

WarCraft III combines RPG elements with Real-time strategy, so you're playing two genre's at once! (Who can say no to that????). Anyway, you asked for a choice between two game and now you get more thrown at you!!! Since none of these games is released, then you can only judge by the hype (which isn't always a good thing), so I recommend waiting for the reviews, then making the decision according to what you hear from unbiased reviewers (if there is such a thing, maybe you can visit video review sites like gamespot or game pro????).

 

Sorry for the long post.

Bullocks is English?

Really?

I always thought it was a Scottish thing....

[Ihatetheblind]

I keep hearing bullocks, but my impression from tv and movies(which is the greatest form of education and never would never lie or mislead me) is that it was bollocks, obviously this is wrong.

Just to make sure though, is there any such thing as bollocks in terms of a european cuss word.

 

 

Ps how do you use bullocks in a sentence?

 

what the bullocks?

that guy is a bullocks?

these eggs taste like bullocks?

?????

"Come on ya big bullocks ninja"

 

Guess the quote win a prize....

UK music junkies out to know this

[Chanke4252]

Im going with morrowind. The other games dont really interest me because they dont focus on one individual character as morrowind will. I just get tired of the repetativeness of the group based RPG's. Oh well, just thought id post my thoughts.

[MAGUS]

I'd say DungeonSiege. I read an article on it in a magazine and it sounds immense. In one part they talk about how unrestricting they're making the game, the producer reveals that in one part of the game you can even get a minigun. A MINIGUN!

 

Also if you're a graphics freak (which isn't a bad thing) then this should be pretty good, although from the trailer I'd wouldn't say they were top notch.

 

Another thing is all the little features and tweaks they've chucked in to make it really smooth and playable. The biggest one I've seen is the ability to pass through areas without waiting for a loading screen.

 

And the GREAT thing about this game is the mods. The team is gonna put an editing program up for download upon release which is actually the same one they used to make the whole game. It's unedited and all, they just give you the real McCoy So that means modmakers will be practically unrestricted, giving ultimate longevity.

 

And by far the coolest feature would have to be... (drum roll)

 

THE PACK MULE!!!

 

Seriously! You can get a packmule to carry your junk aboot. Cool eh? Anyways it's up to you so don't pay attention to me anyway (should've said that beforehand )

[HBK]

If you can wait, check out STAR WARS GALAXIES in the 4th quarter, 2002. Looks VERY promising. However, I think there is a monthly fee.

 

But, of the ones you mention, I'd go with Dungeon Siege. Magus go it right. What I think is cool, too, is that you have to practice things to get better. Want to get better a swordsmanship, keep using your sword. Want to cast a better fireball? Cast more 'smaller' fireballs. You can control a party of players, not just one. You can bring SP characters to the MP world. Different styles of play in MP, e.g 'capture the castle'. I also think you can create your own spells in the editing program. And yes, PACK MULE OWNZ!

 

Good luck choosing!
