Pete Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Good article Thor! Liked the video as it's often quite hard to tell what a game will be like from screenshots alone and it looks interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I put on my robe and wizard hat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looks really nice, a Civ in arcane suit. Also Elemental series seems similar, except the hex grid and battles. I like hex grid more to be frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGCSG1 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..... Civ V should be flattered. EXTREMELY FLATTERED. Oh, and another thing. The writing style for this article.... it really doesn't work. Lots of noise. Not much signal. But I like Civ, so I might like this. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Sunflash Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Smells like a Master of Magic redux? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The writing style for this article.... it really doesn't work. Lots of noise. Not much signal. It's nice to see someone trying something different. It may not be 100% successful, but how many writers do you know who are going beyond "This is the game, this is how it plays."? I can think of a handful, in an industry where there are thousands of people writing about games. For my next article, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to use IGN's writing style, where everything is kept simple and is wrong at every possible opportunity, e.g. "Mass Effect 3 is an isometric puzzle game where you control Leon S. Kennedy, a one-man-band, as he goes to Spain in an attempt to stop the President's daughter from launching her entire nuclear arsenal using her army of highly skilled stunt drivers and time-travelling samurai." Needless to say, 3/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunflash Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 ..... I'd play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah, a lot of people would. They just wouldn't enjoy it. Stunt drivers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be a style usual for articles about video games, but I consider that a + instead of -. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks for reading everyone! A shocking change of diet. I know, I know; don't know what got into me... Next time, the real pièce de resistance: addled speech, shows of copy/paste withdrawal and 'have played' with plausible deniability. :: I swear.

FullAuto Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Was it Christopher Paolini who admitted he wrote those atrocious fantasy novels to some sort of rhyme scheme? Good Lord, man, have some pride. I also remember he went about with a lute (mandolin?) to promote them. I'd cry, but I honestly don't know if it would be fear, hilarity, or sorrow.
