It looks really good, are there any plans for it to come out on PC? I assume there are, all of the good XBox games come out on PC.

no.

Thank goodness KotOR 2 will come out on PC at the same time as xbox.

Martyr's dad works for Microsoft, I'm trying to get him to use his discount to get us an XBox and this game

My sister-in-law-to-be Elizabeth was talking about how sweet it is. You all like it, I think I'll try it!

Omg do NOT get it. Rent it first or something. I bought it and beat it in 8 hours so a week later sold to Blockbuster. It sounds awesome but it really isnt. Theres 1 difficulting setting, and its way to easy. I never died once or ever used a revive pot which I had like 20 of. The boss battles are stupid, left left hit hit hit left left left hit hit hit left left ect. It takes no skill once you learn the pattern. Combat is relitivly boring and you end up running from it from bordom. Your thumb hurts like crazy after an hour or two of button mashing which thats all there is. I never blocked once in the game, never had too. Lack of weapons and armor sucks, theres hardly any armor except for chainmail, platemail and clothes. Being evil sucks as everyone runs away and wont help you and it gets annoying after awhile. Owning a house is retarded, least in morrowind you could store loot and decarate a bit. Nope only way to decorate is to pay large ammounts of money and instead of having wood furniture you have gold. Nothing in the house is interactive except bed where you sleep.You can slaughter an entire village leave the city for like 10 minutes and the guards have already forgiven you. There is no free roaming like in morrowind. Its all on a path thats small. Theres only 3-4 citys all that are basicly the same and suck, theres only 1 house for sale in each. When you kill someone there house goes for sale but for high amounts like 20k+ for a lil house. Shops go around 60k, gl getting 60K, youd have to save up entire game and buy nothing. Haircuts are stupid and eventually look dumb. Tattoos are the only cool thing but since you wear clothes and armor you cants see most of them. Theres my rant for now but seriously most overated game ever. It was top 3 on E3s most wanted, well now its like top 3 most stupid. Also theres no custimizng your char except haircuts and tattoos. Scars you cant control and are harder to get then dieing. I sat for 10 mintutes letting bandits hurt me to get scars and nothing happened.You cant choose your own path except in like 3 situations. Kill your sister, kill bandit king and kill whisper.IMO it is not worth $50, barely worth a rent but try it and see for yourself. Oh and on a sidenote I loved KotoR and Morrowind.

Correction, all the good XBox games used to be PC games, but were bought by microsoft and turned into the flagship title that saved the console.

Mr1337Duck · 2004-09-25, 11:28 PM

Oh. Any other games out there to get then? As soon as XP comes I'm gonna occupy myself with Thief 3 for a bit. But are there any good shooters out there right now?

Triggar · 2004-09-25, 11:28 PM

Wow, I never thought these words would ever come forth from my body:

Thanks firecracker

Infernus · 2004-09-25, 11:30 PM

I like it. Combat is niceand the emotes are fun, I love sniping birds and random people with my crossbow. The haircuts and tattoos are cool as well...

Setari · 2004-09-25, 11:34 PM

i actually like it. its not worthy of the hype it received by any means but imo its still quite fun. Sadly, firecracker is right about most of the stuff. hehe, i always forget to push the block button though and i get scars all the time. i do die a lot but again thats because i cant make my finger hit the block button. with the cool tattoos, you end up not being able to see that scars anyway.

get RTW instead

firecrackerNC · 2004-09-25, 11:36 PM

You die? How? Please I havent learned to die in that game, I was able to find all the keys yet I still cant figure out how to die. What are you tho archer, melee or wizard?

Setari · 2004-09-25, 11:37 PM

melee and magic. i find the bows weak and useless.

btw its really not that hard to die, especially if youre like me and never press the block button.

firecrackerNC · 2004-09-25, 11:40 PM

It depends, I had a crossbow which did like 230 dam. When I hit someone full force I got like 500-800 damage outta em. The magic was the only semi-interesting thing in the game. And even then it was like eating cake while getting pissed on. Sure cakes good but your still getting pissed on.

Microsoft won't give an employee discount on the system seeing as they don't make a profit on the thing. However, if it's a Microsoft produced game (Fable is, they published it) you can generally get it for $10.
