There's been a blowout of info on this game recently due to the developer giving inside looks to a number of gaming news peoples.

Good games coming out: Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, The Outfit, Elder Scrolls IV, Burnout Revenge, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Far Cry Instincts, and Dynasty Warriors 5.

The Scales Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I got this tower because of Providence Big Boy... a couple of years ago Dual 1.25 ghz 2 gig of ram 4 yes 4 ...180 gig hard disks...quick math, thats 720 gigs.... Super Drive keyboard mouse Geforce 4 with a warranty I've had one disk die which apple replaced free of charge.... price? I bid $1300 (I built the same computer on Apple.com at the time and the price came to just under five grand) Where? Airborne express Unclaimed freight silent auction. and the tower is behind my monitor but you amuse me so keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scales Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I played a demo of Fight night at Best buy and the graphics are amazing. I just may get one....then trade it in when the ps3 launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scales Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 does the 360 ship with hd cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BadassBengal Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hmm... bout a week or 2 late, but yea, it does come with the HD cables attatched to the regular cable if you get the Premium. I cant WAIT for this game. There's said to be ONE Unicorn in the entire world of Tamriel in this game. Just one unicorn. I don't know what I'll do with it. I have a feeling that my sadistic ass will probably try to kill it and take its horn to sell it somewhere. But its also said that there's some sort of crazy powerful minotaur protecting it. Should be interesting. If you can steal paintings that people are painting, i will steal the painting, sell it to get some money, use that money to buy a weapon of some sort, and then find the artist and kill him using the weapon i bought with the money from his painting. so he better hope he sucks at painting. so many things that can be done in this game. You can also become a vampire if a vampire catches you, or if you decide to just go and become one. You get increased stats and such, but if you don't feed at least once a day, you'll slowly lose the ability to walk in the sun, and you'll start to look less human and more like a monster, thus, the NPCs(non playercontrolled characters) will attack you and try to kick you out of their town.

A new trailer and pics were released today. The game looks crazy...

Guest Matt_Six Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Badass.... what characters can you be? Do you know controls yet? It's not one of those gay RPG where you get 50 hit points and you have the option of RUNNING, FIGHTING, OR using MAGIC and it hits them for you and get +5 hit points or some shit. I hate that. However, I do play Age of Empires 2 online, which is somewhat like that. I love this midevil times stuff... im a sucker for anything like that.

This is an WRPG, or Western RPG, and the western game developers typically hate making RPGs like that. This is an action RPG focused on exploration and such. In the game that came before this, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the fighting was based on the whole D&D dice roll type garbage. So in that game, if you hit someone, you didn't actually hit them unless you rolled the right numbers and had high enough stats and such. They completely flipped the script on this one. This one's combat is much more action based. If you hit them, you hit them. If you press the block button, you block. You can't just go into combat wildly swinging ya weapon, or you'll get pwned to the maximum extent. I'm a sucker for the midevil type stuff as well. Shits amazing. And here's some videos that Bethesda has been releasing counting down to the game's release on Tuesday. Might have to turn up your brightness some, but the game is BEAUTIFUL. Check out the spell effects, too. Looks great.
