I'm picking this one up immediatement. Over the last few months I've glanced over around 20 reviews, both from game sites and individuals, and I literally haven't heard one bad thing about the game.

I never played the earlier Gothics, but I didn't think combat was a complete catastrophe, about on level with Oblivion for instance. The game ran mostly bug free, but I seem to be lucky that way. I recommend it, especially since the price must have come down a bit by now. There's a lot of combat, of...

Thirded

I'm about to return to Gothic 3 and try their fan patch, but I'd rather be playing turn-based!

I'm starting to think I might have to switch to an installer and copy all the files to the user's HD.

That's the only reason I can think it would run perfectly for me, but not everyone else.

I'm having some trouble with testing. The game runs great on the two PC's I've tried it on, but they're both fairly recent and built for graphics. Unfortunately, on my wife's Mac it ran like a pig on crack. I'd appreciate anyone here, PC or Mac, just clicking on the link to play and seeing if you ca...

Hidden Evil combat demo now available

As I mentioned many weeks ago, I've been working solo on a party-based, turn-based (natch) Flash RPG for quite a while. Yesterday I posted the combat demo online for bug testing. So while we all wait patiently for Book I, this might kill an hour or two of your time: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~ha...

I love it. Well, that's been said I guess. There's something about some games that draws me to play them over and over and I call it 'character'. Diablo had it, as well as BG, Fallout, Temple of Elemental Evil and a few indy titles, too. It seems to be getting more and more rare, but I think Eschalo...

In my original post on the game, I said: the single-player game is fun and I recommend it, especially in the CRPG wasteland of the 20th century. I now retract that in its entirety. By the end of Chapter one your character is saddled with this talky soccer mom who has decided to follow you everywhere...

Anyone else see the projected play time for FO3? 20 hours, main plot, 20 hours side quests. I logged 200 hours on one character in Oblivion (with some heavy mods to make the game fun and challenging), without pursuing the main plot at all because I just didn't like the black and red hellscapes with ...

I have never used Flash but I know that there are many games made in it. I will caution you that many of those that I have seen are limited in scope, due to, I suspect, the limitations of the language. That's why I was so reluctant to really go for this project, but the more I do, the more I find I...

hidden evil

I haven't posted here in a couple of months, so I thought I'd drop a line to say why: there hasn't been anything I wanted to play (other than JA2 for the 5th or 6th time) in a looong time, so while waiting for Eschalon I decided to make my own game in Flash, in order to learn something about scripti...

Will the game be available in physical form, like a CD, or only electronically?

I wouldn't mind downloading the game --I have a decent connection-- as long as it can be backed up to hard media.

Those look fantastic! Especially considering the tiny resolution (or my huge monitor at work).

Nice to see you've got original creatures with original names.

I dunno, I think the infinity engine games did it pretty well. If you were in a city, you had to pay to rest, and in Baldur's Gate, it could take a looong time to hike out of town. If you weren't in a city, there was a decent chance you would be attacked. If you were in a dungeon, you could basicall...

Just discovered Wizardry 8. Wow. I never tried this title because of the first person perspective, but I should have known that Sirtech would deliver. Wiz 8 and Jagged Alliance 2 are like interactive textbooks on how to: > deliver outstanding voice acting and interacting NPC's > manage parties > dev...
