I asked my sexy bearfriends between Dark Sector and Viking, and both said get Viking, so I will be picking it up later tonight
So this is where I will blog my eventual disappointment with this game, and force myself to get all the achievements
-
I ALREADY MADE THIS THREAD. And it had the same pun. But I 4give u.
-
Oh, well I just wanted to give a shoutout to my sexy bears

'sokay. How's the game? It looked okay.
-
I don't have it yet. Gonna head out around 7.
-
I was going to get this but then I saw A-Train HX is out too. Decisions, decisions...
-
Ok, I just got back with Viking
-
1up gave it a D+ :(
-
yuck it's like an uber-repetitive, dull version of Fable with MMO mechanics, crappy interation with NPCs, shitty exploration of barren plains, no ambient sounds and no storyline
Fable was already awful enough, now imagine something even more boring, as if it's humanly possible
AVOID
-
shut up dork, i'll do the avoiding around here
-
WOOOO HARD MODE, LIKE A REAL nicca
-
awesome if achievements stack
-
post impressions.

It's like... super watered down Fable... ish
Your character is silent, which totally isn't Viking-like, I should be grunting and fucking bitches for Valhalla
You can't equip different weapons, you get your sword and axe. You buy Runes for 3 elements to power up your weapons.
You learn new moves by buying them at the Battle Arena.
World Map seems to be small so far, but maybe I get to explore new places.
-
how is combat?
how is exploration?
How is interaction with npcs?

Yo what's some epic Viking sounding music I can use custom soundtrack to? There's absolutely no music that plays when you're walking around, fighting, all that shit
I'm thinking Sonata Arctica and Dragonforce is in order
-

GODDAMIT I WANTED TO BUY THIS FOR THE WEEKEND :maf :maf :maf
-
Fuck y'all. Viking rocks. I just finished the battle of Holdenfort and OMG that was AWESOME. Sure there's some repetitive shit in the game but the set piece big battles are really well done. Fun stuff.
-
No, it's really bad
-
smh
Did you finish it demi?
-
All 1000 points
-
lol...if you hated it that much why the hell would you keep playing to get all 1000 pts?
Anyway, you didn't like the major battles at all? Not even a little? IMO, the game so far was worth any bit of boredom just to be able to play through that one fight at Holdenfort.
-
Nope, it was all really bad
-
I don't know who to believe. I have a promo copy of this unopened on my desk.
-
Play it. It's one of those pleasant unexpected surprises.
-
I was quite excited with it before it came out, I was hoping for an epic Kindgom Under Fire style game with weapon upgrades and stuff. I think my expectations were too high for it. I'll give it a bash this weekend (3 day weekend :bow2) before GTA.
-
Play it. You won't last a day. It's awful.

Yeah, that ain't Viking but what is there is pretty fun imo. There's some issues like repetitive mission structure (but not anywhere near as bad as Assassins Creed), and it can be tough to know just what the hell is going on during the big battles due to the ammount of stuff on screen, plus the game seems to suffer from numerous sound problems during its cutscenes - like you'll see a big explosion but no sound...it can be a little distracting. But it can look pretty darn impressive at times and I found the combat to be fun, even though I don't use a lot of the special moves that you can buy.
Viking is this year's EDF 2017 for me.
-
If it's half as good as EDF 2017 I'll be happy.
Plus it's free so even if it's shit I'll get my moneys worth.
-
Nope, nowhere near close to EDF 2017

Man, sometimes this game can look freakin' amazing. I'm on the third island right now and I'm ready to start the first big battle but I'm just sitting here staring at the fire and smoke effects in a cave. I take a pic of it with my camera but god knows it wouldn't do it justice.
