Re: Good old Games Fumble Dungeon Keeper 2

I have to add that I haven't tried the GOG version as I don't see why I should have to buy the same game twice. The version I have by Sold Out Software has run on windows XP and Windows 7 without problems except in the very last very large rounds where you couldn't reload very large saved game files so after a certain point in the game you had to play to the end of that round in one session. In the very large rounds it tended to crash after a while so it was necessary to frequently save up to just before the point where it would no longer reload then hope it wouldn't crash after that. With more powerful computers and better graphics memory nowadays this should no longer have been a problem but now thanks to Windows 10 I am unable to run my game at all.

I can longer play Dungeon Keeper II on Windows 10 because the copy protection file in the disk is blocked by Windows 10 because of a security exploit, so I advise anyone who has some favourite old games with copy protection not to upgrade to Windows 10.

-> I played this game on the XBox version and it was monotonous at best. But it gave me an idea! I was trying to list up the cars and tracks that will feature on the game I had in mind. It will have a cel-shaded style graphics but it will have an RPG-like flavor but way better executed than R: Racing Evolution. Oh well, I need the production money and connections to do this...

Re: How Fighting Games Fail

Very interesting read sir. I'm a 32 year old man, therefore I was 12 year olds when KOF 94 came out and 13 when KOF 95 came out. I was 9 year olds when I first play Street fighter 1 in 1991. The reason I'm giving you these dates is because at 9, 12 and 13 I was able to master street fighter, mortal kombat, king of fighters, Killer instinct, etc...at 32, I wouldn't be able to master anything in the current gaming scene, even if I tried.
Games back then were much, much more accessible right away. You needed to learn certain basic moves, but once you got those moves out of the way, off you went to show your skill, not how good your memory was. Today is definitely different. You need to take a college course just to understand the moves of half of the characters in a game, and then a second course to understand the moves of the remaining characters.
I remember KOF 94 was all about speed and how fast you could pull off the moves, positioning, mistakes by your opponent, etc...not memory. Also, it was slower paced, therefore it felt like a real fighting game...maybe i'm just old school.
I tried to introduce my 10 year old son to street fighter by buying him street fighter 4 in 2009...case in point - he played it about 5 or 10 times...never touched it again. It's sitting in steam, unplayed since 2009...lol, AND HE IS 9! he should be into these type of games like I was back when I was 9. Instead, he opted to go for the easier route - call of duty, starcraft 2, Super smash bros for wii...
He became 1 less player in the fighting genre who probably won't go back to it because of its complexity and feeling of not belonging.
Good read sir.

Capcom make all the Moto GP games since 2008 so its not the only racing game they have every done.

Admitted, Moto GP games are utterly horrible as well!

Re: How to Get Into Tabletop Role-playing

Suggestion #1: start with Pathfinder: it's the best system I am aware of with so much material freely available online. d20pfsrd.com is probably the best site for rules (paizo.com/prd is the official one)

Suggestion #2: like the storytelling aspect? find it hard to book hours of time to sit and play? consider play by post -- it's slower, but much more forgiving as far as sheduling goes. Also, the story tends to be richer. rpgcrossing.com is my favourite spot for that.

Re: My Game of the Year: Tokyo Jungle

James Henderson — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:34:05 -0000

I remember first playing this game at Eurogamer Expo in September and I loved just how fresh the idea was. It's something zany like this that you kinda think "Oh, only the Japanese could come up with something as bonkers as this." But they're right, and it's kind of a slight to Western developers who are still tied up in war and shooters and all that lark, that anything original and new seemingly has to come from somewhere where these games are the polar opposite from commonplace.

I've not sunk many hours into it since I bought it, admittedly, but it's definitely deserving of its place in the mix though. Kinda hard to believe that over in Japan that this was a full-fledged, boxed retail game though, but the risk of moving it to PSN over here paid off. Can't say it would have got a great reception at retail, given the core concept.

I haven't even started the story yet. My sister and wife were kind enough to play the survival with me for a few hours earlier today, and after that I've come to the conclusion that my only real niggle is the toxic gas. It's just annoying. Still, I'm glad I bought it.

I thought the game was only local coop though?

Re: My Game of the Year: Tokyo Jungle

Colin Dettmar — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:08:01 -0000

I haven't had a chance to play the coop! I wanted to do it with a friend, rather than with randoms, and so it just never happened. We shall have to give it a shot!

Thank you for your kind words, as well. The GotY discussions are going to be interesting this year....

Re: My Game of the Year: Tokyo Jungle

Darrell Drake — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 07:25:50 -0000

I bought this game after reading the article. The article got me interested; the coop struck the killing blow. Good nomination.

I began to reply by explaining what I did, only to realize I'd already covered that in the article. But yeah, your approach certainly changes her. It's somewhat polarized and could have been done better, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done well in my book.
