Yeah, the PS2 game's manual mentions control schemes for dragon movement and combat, indicating that at some points, you can control the dragon (I forgot his name). The other games I mentioned involve dragon-riding, but most of them I don't like (either because the controls svck, or I don't like the style).

Oh! And that new Divinity game, the Ego Draconis thing. You turn into a dragon in that one, right?

I don't know anything about the game but it says you get to be a dragon.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis is actually the sequel of Divine Divinity.
Yep, you can become a dragon yourself. It's an action based rpg from the belgian developer Larrian Studios.


About Sacred: there is also Sacred 2, which is different from the first sacred. It doesn't look like diablo anymore, although it is still a hack&slash game.
Oh and with the expansion Ice & Blood you can play with the dragon mage. The dragon mage can call dragon powers, like being transforming into a dragon, call a pet dragon and call a dragon to burn the foes. He has also powers of the elements and normal magic.

Ooooo, sounds fun! Is there any plot/story? Does my character get to make dialog decisions (like in Neverwinter Nights), or do I just listen to NPCs and not say anything (like Titan Quest)? I have so many games I need to finish, I'm hesitant about picking up one of those "endless" games where it never really concludes, you just keep killing stuff and leveling up until you get bored and play a different video game or watch TV or something.

There is no real plot that I've seen in Sacred 2. It's like a Diablo 2 clone with a huge overworld to explore.

I guess I'm under the false assumption that Diablo 1/2 has a plot. I bought a comic book that featured stories of a few Diablo characters... I'm guessing such character development and plots don't really happen in that game?

Not really. As a better comparison, since it's a game you've played, Titan Quest is also of the "Diablo clone" genre. Your character is mainly just a vehicle for your monster-killing, having no lines or development, and the plot mainly exists so the NPC's have a reason to tell you to go to the next area.

There is a story yes, but not that it plays a big role like in The Witcher. Well, there aren't dialog deciscions, except accept and decline.
You just get your quest, finished it and claim your reward. Most of the time it's just slaying enemies. Like i said; it's a hack&slash game, which means chop till you drop. One warning though; the enemies will spawn fast. However, there are some quests which are different. Sometimes you just must fetch some items or escorting a person and be sure they survive. And then there is a quest where blind guardian is involved. You choose at the start from six prefab characters, which all have unique skills. With ice & blood a seventh is added. You also choose if you do the ligth or shadow campaign (except with the seraphim and inquisitor. seraphim is only light, inquisitor is only shadow) and you choose a deity. Since ice & blood you can change the hair, hair colour and skin colour. You can play the game at several difficulties. From the beginning you can only choose bronze & silver, but if you beat the game at silver you unlock gold and there is also niobium. There are tons of items to get, also unique ones and legendary (which is very rare to get) and there are complete sets for each character, based on their CA's. There is a mainquest, sidequests and character specific quests. And there are also bosses. Ancaria is pretty huge and is divided into several regions. You start at the high elven region Tyr Lysia. The main soundtrack is made by the german metal band Blind Guardian, as also the combat music. The game uses your standard rpg music when exploring (flute/piano, you know it)
It's not a direct Diablo clone. It's a game on it's own.




There is a plot. You either save Ancaria or let it turn into chaos. Not that it plays a big role, but there is a story where you strike for. Much more then diablo 2 if you ask me, where it is just about the reïncarnation of the prime evils.
And it's not a Diablo 2 clone. Diablo 2 looks totally different. The only thing they have in common it's that both are hack & slash. Overall Sacred 2 is a different game then Diablo 2.

Has anyone played Just Cause 2? I played the demo, and it was excellent. I think its basically what Farcry 2 should've been like, but it mixes destructive elements and sandbox elements from grand theft auto. I think the system they have created for the game would be great in a super hero game, as the stuff this Al Pacino looking guy does is pretty super human like.

Anyways, the game makes action so easy to pull off, the graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay/gun play is great. It has a repetitive factor, and i'm worried if it falls into the same hole as Farcry 2 in that sense.

Im thinking of getting a PS3 soon so am thinking of what PS3 games I may get, but one game I am undecided on is Lair, it had bad reviews but looks like a fun game concept, is it realy that bad ?

A local place was going out of buisness and I got Mirror's Edge for $15 on the Xbox,how good is it?

I may just sell it on Ebay or something.



Also,from the same store I got 12 copies of MW2..was fun explaining to Game Stop why I was trading in 12 copies of the game. >>

ME is a good game, 4 hours long and has fun time trials.

Curiously what did GS say about the MW2 copies ?

I know a guy who's high up in the deal there(manager or somthing),I talked to him and explained that Anna(my girlfriend,he knows her) had ended up at Movieland(the place that went out of buisness) and had found those for crazy cheap.

He just laughed and took 'em all-I'm sure they make a killing off buying used copies of MW2 for only $25 anyways.

From what I recall, the bad reviews seem to mostly stem from complaints that the controls are sluggish. I remember reading that the dev's wanted it that way to simulate the hugeness of the dragon (no lightning fast reflexes). Several/many months after release, the developers relented and released a patch that un-sluggishified the flight controls. If you read reviews, try ones that are recent (after the patch was released). If you can, try to rent it; if it has a demo, try playing that. I think because it initially did so poorly with reviewers (and players), the game probably won't be very expensive (??).

Downloading Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for PC from Steam for 9.99 as we speak.

Can't wait really, I love all the SC games and this is a perfect warm up for Conviction. I've never really played a SC game on the comp, though, only XBOX. It's gonna be a big change in controls....

The PC version isn't a bad port, is it?

Does any here play Fallen Earth? Is it any good?

No Fallout jokes.

Well I totally forgot about this thread and I opened one to ask about a game but I only got one reply so I'll ask here instead <_<

Is the MMO Darkfall any good? :dance:

I heard that they just recently fixed a lot of things in it and that the users are starting to love it.

Anybody have Hustle King on PS3 from PSN?
I want to know if you walk around the table to see what angle the ball needs to be hit to go in?
(Don't really know how ask this question better)
Does the game have the auto-aim and if yes is it turnable off and on?

Any opinions on a game called http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0011U14YO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_t4?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=1ZKFZVT3AJM8RCKWE00M&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467198433&pf_rd_i=468294

How is the online play with the PS3 version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2? I'm pretty certain my old beater of a rig wouldn't run the PC version very well.

Reign of Fire, PS2. Its good but very short and very difficult.

It was OK. The tank mission was bloody hard though, don't think I ever got past it.

White Knight Chronicles for the PS3. Any good?
