I'm a bit late to it from being released a month ago. Not given the best review, and OK, I've only played it for 10 hours....but I love this game!!

Think of Baldur's Gate + Zelda (seriously, I swear it actually lifts things straight from Zelda).

It has the classic RPG element to it - levelling, weapons, weapon upgrades, spells etc etc.
It has levels in the form of temples, albeit a bit short compared to Zelda (not to mention a boss that is amazingly similar to Bongo Bongo/Boss in Tower of Gods).
You can fish, farm, ride a boar (my personal favourite ), witty banter, and some of the views are the amazing! the texture isnt great, but my god man! I love the game!

Anyone else got this?

 

[MattAY]

Yeah man, I got it. I love it too!

seems pretty rude that no one else will talk about it though?

 

[MattAY]

Yeah , I agree.

Pro: It just looks sweet with a cool concept.
Con: It's a trap!
Pro: Talking book...cuz, y'know, I hate reading so he can read himself to me.
Double Pro: Talking book is a badass.
Con: I'm not willing to shell new game money for this.
Con: MattAY is lonely and talking to himself.

so this is kind of like zelda? I loved zelda!

Can you go anymore indepth about the game, I might pick it up used after I am done with RDR

 

[MattAY]

Well it only has elements similar to Zelda. The entirety of the game is nothing like it! But it has temples (aren't as long or puzzling), it has a boss JUST like bongo-bongo. It takes the mick out of getting a new item at one stage with the whole "da da da daaaa" thing. But that's it haha.
It's more like a Baldur's Gate game, but with some Devil May Cry action based fighting in the mix. I just love the RPG element in it so much.

If you aren't a major levelling/classic RPG fan like me then I'd probably rent or buy it second hand haha.

The combat turns me off. I might get it used some day though.

Welcome back you beer-drinking, gun-toting, awesome music-listening Southerner. How've you been?

 

[Diabolus]

I've been pretty good. How about yourself?

 

[schimmel]

Not bad. In the interest of saving this thread's integrity may I direct you to the chat thread seeing as I've never played this game

I may rent this one day on GameFly, maybe.
