It's kind of like a poor man's Morrowind with better battles...I haven't put it down since getting it over the weekend

It's also just so much fun running around going GTA on people with Rhaa Vitae

 

[jarrod]

Wasn't there suppossed to be an XBox port? Did it ever release?

That's what I'm playing

 

[radios shipping overview]

Where did you find it for $10?

Well, that answers that.

Best Buy

 

[element]

wait until you see Arx2. It is pretty sweet looking. It is using the Source Engine, they have done a really good job with it.

 

[teepo]

i got this game for free with my gfx card.

 

[Brandon F]

Been eyeing this for awhile, recently saw some X-play review giving it a 4/5. Kind of funny how you can scavenge the meat from a kill and then cook it over a fire for sustenance.

 

[Rhindle]

Best Buy

Picked it up as Best Buy last week as well, but I haven't cracked it open yet. I'll dive into it this weekend probably.

Definately one of the better "lost" titles for the Xbox.

Can you give me a little more details on the what a poor man's version of Morrowind would be? I am always looking for RPGs

 

[Kon Tiki]

I thought Morrowind was a poor man's rpg.

The game is played from a first person perspective, and the combat is similar (hold strikes for power, magic is very similar save for the directional commands), but the plot is very rigid (you're largely on a set path with some side quests instead of just being tossed on the island to told to "go out an do" like in Morrowind) and the levelling options aren't nearly as dense (basically, you can pretty much make only a fighter, mage, or thief, instead of the billion mixed classes Morrowind had)

In Dec. under your radar apparently.

When's that due? And is it coming out for the Xbox?

 

[AeroGod]

I didnt like it too much, although ive only played about 3 hours. The graphics are TERRIBLE and very bland and supposedly the entire game takes place underground..and that really turns me off from playing at anymore. I cant take anymore of these bland and boring tunnels and shit.

 

[shoplifter]

Being the huge King's Field fan I am, I can't believe I keep putting off buying this. I keep waffling on whether I want the PC version or not.

 

[Soul4ger]

Spend $10 more.

not sure if it is coming out for Xbox or when it is coming out. Not sure if it even has a publisher yet.

 

[teiresias]

I loved the PC demo, but I wish the PC version of the game would drop to $10 too. I'd pick it up at that price even though I've got too much to get through nowadays to install it and play it. It's a shame they failed to get the Ultima Underworld designation like they wanted, it would have garnered much more attention than it did.

 

[BenT]

I got it recently for PC. Five or so hours in I'm pretty bored, still waiting for it to "pick up." I'm disappointed. I would say to go with PC over Xbox, though. I mean, come on. It's a PC game.

Sweet, Source engine is getting 2 RPGs so far, Vampire the masquerade which is one of my most anticipated PC game this year and now arx 2

Source is getting much better support than doom3's engine
