I've played the gate probably 20 times, beat it on hard and everything. yes, spawn events are scripted (but this makes for some great challenges and endless mode is a thing) and some of the voice acting sucks, also their are enemies that break the theme, and some sub bosses that aren't that complex. It's also not what I would call horrifying though their are some creepy sounding enemies. But the story is fine over all if a bit disjointed and with a rather rock headed protagonist. Also I thought the sound design was good and the last boss fight was really great! The guilt over not letting some of the nicer ones out was an interesting touch, but I mostly played it for the challenge, and in that respect I liked it better than adventure at C: personally.
I liked the tutorial system too it really helped, it was not worth 40 bucks though, 20 maybe 25 would be more like it.
Actually, I think I'm gonna go play it again right now
A blind legend may not have much replay value, but try it on hardcore or in french mode and that helps. Come back to it in a few months to enjoy some of the more difficult bosses... That's what I did.
I found the sound design to be very nice as well... not just with the various weapons and such but also with scene elements, and the binaural stuff was really cool. Voice acting was hit and miss, better in the french version IMO, but it wasn't horrible or anything and it was all well recorded at least... Combat could have been faster paced but, again on hardcore some of those fights are pretty intense... The variety of environments to fight in was pretty neat too and I liked the dark past thing that made you suddenly feel like an antihero two thirds of the way through.
For the incredibly low price I really can't complain.
I find that Alter can get kinda boring after a bit too, yeah the huge amount of areas to explore and all the cool quests is truly awesome and the sound pack, especially with attack aliases and a bunch of skills under your belt keeps things interesting, but blazing through giant enemy hordes in groups feels so much less personal after a while, and all the conflicting info about what gear is the best, along with the paid locker slots and weightless bags thing gets kinda old after a while since you start needing it for basic stuff at around LVL 30. Also their are some zones with stupid spelling mistakes or bland as hell mobs that no one cares to deal with, but most if it's really great.
The massive selection of cool looking armor/weapons/magical items, player run shops, and now these crafting skills though really add to it for me.
Also annoying when you can't even see an area or form a plan really because of all the aggro mobs... MUDS are not a good platform for a beatemup or hack and slash, had some great times with friends on that mud though and their are allot of cool people their along with the addicts and control freaks LOL.
I actually enjoy the Curb game my self, you need to play it with IE ideally. Click on the play link under the play heading, and it will pop up a dialog to install shockwave flash. Install it and then try again, now just play. The higher level you get the better it gets, all sorts of crazy cars like space ships and marching bands and robots and stuff... It's great. And if you get run over by the first fart hog, the giant farting elephant sounding thing that goes stamping along, you can play the burb game, which is a bit different haha.
Also apparently the visuals are pretty great too.
Most of the games I really hated were either A. experimental and so I really couldn't blame anyone or B. are so small and lost to time it's just hard to remember their names...
I do get frustrated with RS Games allot though, it's got several long standing, incredibly annoying bugs with admins that don't answer reports about them, and yet I know people are still around because they do news posts sometimes and new cards got added to cards against humanity recently, a bunch of games that are kinda shit, most of the radio station presets don't work, the web interface is slow and doesn't play sound or looks good for sited people, ETC. Over all though I still enjoy it, especially Farcle, Uno, Monopoly, Cards against humanity/apples to apples, and Rummy. At least it's got good English, doesn't require you to memorize keystrokes for everything, and has mostly high quality sounds/music.
