I gave pc gaming another chance. Purchased baldur's gate 2. Got to the character creation screen. Saw the races were shamelessly all straight up out of Lord of the Rings and didn't get much further than the first few BORING dialouge trees. There was also the issue of no wasd movement, so I'm having to use the directional keys while trying to use my touchpad to move the viewpoint.

I have two buttons beneath it. Still, I thought pc games were all about customization and apparently I can't remap the damn scroll controls.

Why aren't you using an actual mouse with it? Even a tiny USB mouse would be better than driving yourself insane trying to play it with a touchpad. I mean, you don't play FPS's with a touchpad...right?

Also, get ready to die about a million times, because you will, WITHOUT FAIL, die at least a dozen times during every single battle in the entire game.

N1 just announced Classic Dungeon 2 for March 24th release.  Will have several orders of magnitude more loot and jobs.

Pretty cool.  I really liked CD but it just didn't have enough content for a full game.  Give it tons more loot and other improvements and you'll have a kickass a-rpg rogue.


Oh and BlazBlue CS II for PSP.

yea i didn't like cladun that much,it really didn't feel much like a N1 game to begin with,upon reading such a news my reaction was more along the lines of "heh....."

besides do we even know anything about it other than it's happening? does it looks different? is there a less annoying system to the magic circle? it's even harder for me to care when i don't even know stuff like that

I stopped playing it the second time they expected me to drive around and burn bushes.

I played it on PC and apparently they changed the PS3 version a lot based on criticism.  There were plans to patch the 360 version, but at that point no one cared anymore.

I posted this on gaf because I think out loud a lot and don't usually write it.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=25020503#post25020503

Quote
I bought Broken Sword DC on steam today for $2.50 and I started thinking about how nice it'd be if I could play it at home on my PC and then continue playing it when I'm traveling on my iphone and then resume back on my PC again.

Then I started thinking about how games really should give you copies on multiple platforms when you buy them. When you buy a movie these days you get the blu-ray to watch at home, the digital version to watch on your pc or phone or on the go, and the dvd version to watch elsewhere. Games should head in that direction. I can't count the number of console games I've rebought on the PC or portable systems just for accessibility at some point later. But I understand publishers wouldn't want to do this because they'd worry about lost sales from people selling off the versions they don't use or giving them to friends. But then you could make the same case about blu-ray combo packs with dvds and digital copies too.

In an ideal world you would buy a game and get access to every incarnation of it whether it's phone/console/pc/mac/handheld and their saves would all use cloud saving and so you could play anywhere and resume elsewhere.

But the world is not ideal and that's not going to happen.

So I got to thinking, what else can games do to go in the consumer appealing direction that movie combo packs have gone?

Well, these days almost everyone has a phone. Whether it's Android or Windows Phone or iphone. Most gamers have a phone and phone gaming/apps are taking off in a big way. So why not have phone features in your games? If your game is graphically simple enough like Broken Sword of many indie games, have cloud saving and let the players seamlessly go from one save on their PC/Console to resuming the game on their handheld and then vice-versa.

If your game is more technologically advanced and won't run identically on a phone, then figure out a creative way that the user can do something useful and fun with their save while they're out. For example let's use Gran Turismo 5. Imagine if you could download a phone app that let you log into your GT user profile with your current save and play B-spec races on your phone while you're out and about (for those who don't know, B-spec racing is where an AI races for you and you just give them some directions). It could just show dots on the map of the track that represent the cars and you give your commands. This way you could finish races and circuits away from home and then when you get back to your PS3 you'll have all the experience points, credits, and prize cars waiting for you.

Another example is Halo. Imagine a phone app that lets you build levels in the Forge while you're out or spectate on games your friends are currently playing. Imagine jumping on and seeing a 2d map with icons and you watch your buddies playing a match and can chat with them during it.

Even if your game doesn't have anything currently that you could integrate into a phone app. If this took off then you could start making extra low-fi gameplay systems that would be your phone app and what a user could do with your game while away from the title.

I think if advertised right, this could really help sell games as people would think it's cool that they can play the game at home and when they're out. It seems like a way gaming could take a positive step forward.

just my thoughts.
