Old school dungeon crawler
Legends of grimrock april 11th. Around 10 - 15 bucks, new indie game. I'll be getting this cause eye of the beholder was one of the first games I played as a little gremlin.

LoG looks pretty good -- definitely reminds me of the Might and Magic games, which I loved. Will definitely check it out.
I've never seen gog.com before. Very tempted to go back and play the classics (Baldur's Gate, Might & Magic, Fallout). I still have most of them in the original boxes, but playing them on today's machines isn't always a great experience. Looks like the folks at gog.com have done the necessary work to get them running smoothly on modern systems. Wish they had the Bard's Tale series -- one of my first games that got me into RPGs. Although, as much as I loved M&M, BG, etc, looking back at those screenshots is pretty rough. BG and FO aren't *too* bad, but the M&M games... eek. Not sure I could actually play through those again despite the very fond memories I have. |
yes asano you nailed it on the head that reminded me right away of the good old fun in Might and magic, only think I wish is they had a hand or a wand showing looks weird to me with just nothing but eyeballs and stuff flying.

GoG.com is great for just that, being able to play older games on the newer systems without having to emulate or mame etc which is nice. As for LoG, i'm preordered 20% off, 11.99. I'm all over it! Bring back some old school memories. |

GoG has Total Annihilation for 2.99. Amazing.

Weird. The guy that wrote the gamespy article has my last name. Kind of rare.

Interestingly, there are 264 people with the Zombie surname on MyHeritage.com
I bet people with a first name of "Rotten" are even more rare. |
That's pretty cool, name change inc.

I just recently changed my legal name to R.J Puddingsauce

I haven't played any of these yet, but they had good reviews when they came out. If you can overlook the old school graphics then you will most likely enjoy some of these games. These are the ones I picked up and plan to play at some point.
Deus Ex http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/deus_ex Baldur's gate http://www.gog.com/gamecard/baldurs_..._original_saga Baldur's gate 2 http://www.gog.com/gamecard/baldurs_gate_2_complete Icewind dale 2 http://www.gog.com/gamecard/icewind_dale_2 Planescape torment http://www.gog.com/gamecard/planescape_torment Alpha centauri http://www.gog.com/gamecard/sid_meiers_alpha_centauri This one I did play and enjoyed it alot but that was like 20 years ago!

One other thing about gog.com they have weekend sales all the time and other type of sales. Never buy games at full price cause they always have half off or more sales all the time.
|
I am gonna load a bunch of these games on my laptop! To bad they dont have the age of empires games!
|
Planescape torment is one of the best RPGs ever made. It's amazing.
|
Also the original Deus Ex is a must play for anyone who hasn't.

Nice! Give us an early review when you come up for air.
|
i need an update so i can make up my mind!
|
|
I'm installing now. Will give my first impressions in a few hours.
|
Watched that stream for awhile, game looks pretty fun. Sorely tempted to get it.
|
Ok, initial impressions...
Graphics and sound are great. Environment has high detail, monster animations are smooth and look very good. Puzzles aren't trivial. Early on they're not too hard, but the difficulty ramps up pretty quick. Magic is kind of annoying. You have to click some combination of runes to cast each spell. Doing this across two characters each fight gets annoying fast. And if you fail to put enough points in a specific school of magic during character creation, your caster(s) are completely useless for the first level since they won't be able to cast spells. No hotkeys for fighting means there's a lot of frantic clicking across your 4 characters during a fight. Again, it gets annoying. No healing spells and few potions can make combat a challenge. I'm only level 4 and I've already died several times (hi 4-pack skeletons). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it means you need to save often. Which brings me to the next point... No hotkey for saving your game. Again, annoying. It's not a dungeon crawler like Diablo/Torchlight/Nethack. It's more like Tomb Raider. Very linear, no regenerating dungeons or regenerating mobs. Once you clear a level, it's permanently cleared. You spend at least as much time figuring out puzzles as you do fighting -- maybe more. Despite the annoyances, it's a fun game so far. I don't think there will be any replay value though. But for $11-12, it's not bad. I just started level 3. Dunno how many there are. I suspect it'll keep me busy until D3 comes out. |

So how are you enjoying LoG, Yoox?
