![]() Thanks, it's ironic that lagnut was the person I learned that trick from (the game before-I got completely owned). It seems to be a "take a genre that was popular 15 years ago, make a modern shitty version of it, hope that everybody forgot that genre existed so it looks fresh and exciting" kind of said: Nice way to clear the path to your fellow soldier. What happened to the red soldier on the right? The camera just zooms off of him. Maybe if he had actually made, you know, graphics? Maybe then I'd like it. And it's crummy "this game is using a 3D engine even though we were too lazy to make proper 3D graphics and it probably shouldn't be" makes it so visually confusing, half the time you get shot you're thinking, "wait, that guy wasn't behind cover? But it looks like he is- shift the camera a bit- oh." Seriously? I will never understand people's love for this game.Įven if you think that style of gameplay was fun, the game is so lazy and bland. The story was so goddamned insultingly said: Frozen Synapse is the best game. I'm about 4-6 hours into it, but I've seen enough to be able to HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone into said: Defender's Quest - Valley of the Forgotten If anyone is getting into this and needs party creation tips, let me know. They really need a proper documentation for what influences which weapon type etc. ![]() I had to restart the game like 4-5 times until I got my characters just right. Special moves are tied to weapons and are no longer luck-triggered. ![]() Better character system (5 races, 7-8 classes, traits). So what's improved compared to the first part? Outdoors areas. Sounds strange, but don't knock it until you try it. This makes for pretty exciting action-y battles, while still retaining a strategic undertone. Movement is grid based, but in real time. An exemplary approach to making sequel.įor those who don't know, Grimrock is a first person party-based RPG. It fixes what was broken, extends where it was lacking and otherwise leaves the winning formula intact. I'm finally deep enough into the sequel to post this. I've hinted that I'm a Grimrock fan a few times before. Sleeping Dogs - Zodiac Tournament Trailer – 01:23 Now, I just need to grind up a bit more and I'll be ready to start the Zodiac Tournament DLC - a riff on Enter The Dragon, complete with 70s music and visuals. My chief gripe is that it isn't particularly comfortable to play with a mouse/keyboard - I've a feeling that a controller would do wonders for the kung-fu fighting (not to mention the driving and action hijack sequences - I'm pants when driving with my left hand). Hong Kong provides an interesting and exotic, yet vaguely familiar backdrop, which is also a refreshing change from the norm. The fact that you play an undercover cop is a welcome change from the standard "be a gangsta and fuck people's shit up" fare, typical of the genre and adds some nice depth to the story. I like the story, I like the characters, I like the setting and I like the gameplay. It's, hands-down, the best GTA-style sandbox game I've played so far (mind you, I've not had a go at GTA V, yet). Sounded fun, checked it out and I wasn't disappointed. I originally came across this one on El Reg, as part of the "games of 2012 you probably missed" list, or some such. I got the DLCs for this one lately, so I've decided to replay the main story and then have a go at those. ![]()
