Darmoth Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Well true, but there are some decent people and developers that got sucked up by those corperate mongers. Such as Chris Taylor, the man behind Dungeon Siege, which is really a pretty decent Action game. Though I will never forgive Microsoft for buying up Bungi and thus depriving me of Halo, which was being designed for PCs in the first place!!! As for EA... bleh. Yeah, they rather suck. But then again many of their games have been decent, only by virtue of the developers whom I do support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 I notice that you say Dungeon Siege is an Action game and not an RPG. Good description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marxist ßastard Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Well, the discussion of pseudo-warez disk copying by Laser helped to transition this thread quite a bit. And regarding Dungeon Siege... I regard it as more of a graphics demo than an actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darmoth Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Well indeed, I saw Dungeon Siege as an action game due to the lack of actual roleplaying, and would describe it much more hack&slash aka Action, as opposed to roleplaying. Though it does have elements that are commonly found in roleplaying games. Diablo and Diablo II are other examples of this, or games I would call Action... or maybe... Action RPG. *shrugs* All though I followed the story of the Diablo series and read intensivly on it, so I found it to be a rich experiance to some extent.

Shakkara Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Not to mention what happened to Freelancer... It was supposed to be 4 CDs, and they cut out the high-res textures, cutscenes, voices etc etc, to fit it on one! And we all know what happened to Origin... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
