God Damn Son Of A Motherfu... Where The Hell Is Arcanum??!?!1!!!111

[Derfud]

A couple of days ago I was hankering for a good rpg, so I decided to download the arcanum demo. I had played it a few years back, before the game came out, but was too stupid to be able to play it properly. So I play the demo, and I think, "Hey, this game is really great! I should get the full version!". So I decide to head up to the local radio shack in the mall, because I had remembered seeing it there numerous times. So I arrive at the store, but there are no copies. Fair enough, the game is about 2 years old. So then i ride a bit further down to the local London drugs. No luck there either. My last stop would be staples, I was sure they had some copies there, as I remember seeing about 4 while digging through the bargain bin, numerous times. So i ride futher down to Staples. Not a single copy on the shelf, or in the bin. I was quite surprised that no copies were left. Later that day, my parent's were heading to another large city, so I asked them to check the future shop. They returned empty handed. So today I went to another city with my mom to try to find it. I went to 4 different stores, and none of the had it. I went to a different future shop, a different Staples, an Electronics boutique, and an Office depot. The guy at EB said that 2 days before someone had traded their copy of arcanum in, but the next day it was gone. I dont get it?? How come a game that I saw every where before, has suddenly disappeard off the face of the earth. I'm not much for piracy, but there wasn't even any on Kazaa!! It seemed like some evil conglomerate is buying all the copies from the stores, to prevent me from obtaining a copy! What should I do??

Good luck finding it... I bought it couple years ago. Alot of my friends want it now days and I'm burning it for 20$ a copy :lol:.

All I have to say is good luck... try to find one on e-bay or Amazon... that's all I have to say :ugh:

Edit: Btw, the game didnt sell enough so they stopped production of it. Now all of a sudden, people are jumping on it. Same goes for fallout :(

[Lonehunter]

What kind of game is it?

[Derfud]

It's an RPG. The theme is an Industrial revolution in a world of magic.

Also, Spider. Do you think you could arrange some sort of *cough* transfer *cough*.

I dont like using online auctions. First of all I dont have anything to pay with. (No credit card, or Pay Pal)

[Everay]

who made it?

[Vick]

I loved that game...

Goodluck fiding a copy, it rocks. To bad no one bought it so no Arcanum 2. :(

[Mtx]

[Spider]

The same people who created fallout created Arcanum.

And no copies on kazaa sadly...

[Lonehunter]

Not true, I realized it. They're still around, Black Isle and Troika I believe, are making a new Fallout/arcanum style game about an alternate universe after the crusades. It's gonna be wicked cool.

[diluted]

a new Fallout/arcanum style game about an alternate universe after the crusades
fancy. whats the title?

[Navaron]

Fucked if I know it. It's nothing fancy, you'd pass right by it if you saw it.

[Everay]

Spider, are you saying Fallout is bad? or just tactics? i havent played tactics, but i love Fallout 1 and 2, and i think i heard Black Isle fired the Fallout team and they all went and either started their own company or joined another, and then made another game like fallout, and from what i hear, is better, and i also hear there is a spoof in that game, where you ask someone about this place, called Black Isle, and they all say that place sucks, and stuff like that....hmm, WAIT i think Arcanum is that game...lol.

[diluted]

how would the bohica WoW clan work? actually how do guilds work at all in it??

off topic but who cares :)

[Spider]

Tactics I hate. It's good, but its shit compared to the rest of fallout games :o

[Derfud]

Oooh, sounds cool. You have my attention. Maybe the game will actually be a quality title. Unlike the saturated crap game of today that sell for $70.

EDIT: In reply to the new game that Mr. V mentioned

[diluted]

yea well you're canadian. end.:love:

[Derfud]

There are plenty of auctions on e-bay right now, but I dont have a credit card, or paypal, plus I am suspicious of online shopping.
