I like Oblivion, will I like this?

dave2k2005 · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:11

It's a mix between oblivion with heavily emphasised combat in it, and more linear. More like an action game.

nero120 · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:16

Can anyone host this for us? It's going so slow!

eekfek · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:18

well you need a beefy PC to get the best outa this, only played for 10-15mins and first impressions are its ok, nice gfx and easy to get into.
i think i need an upgrade .

** P4 3.2 HT, 894 ram, 9800XT **

Will my OC'd 4000 and OC'd x1900xt and 2 gb ram run this ok?

Chaos · 8 Aug 2006 at 20:34

Pretty good, similar to oblivion.

Its fun kicking orcs of the edge of clifs

Runs well on my rig.. Good game infact although does feel a bit disjointed at first. Some of the moves and combos you can pull are great though. Plus using the HL2 engine its pretty also

But id prefer it on 360

I thought that was pretty average and drab looking. It's fun kicking Orcs to their death though.

Psyk · 9 Aug 2006 at 02:04

Not much to the demo but it sure seems fun. Pelting boxes at an orc's head seems more effective than a sword

modo77 · 9 Aug 2006 at 12:47

Looks very promising from this demo. Nice to see its on the source engine

Just a shame the demo is so short

nickels · 9 Aug 2006 at 14:24

anyone know why i get this when i try and start it

its rather annoying after a 1.4gb download

Adam Senior · 9 Aug 2006 at 14:43

mine crashed during the loading screen

Frosti · 9 Aug 2006 at 14:53

yep i get the same error as you Nickles, it won't start up on my main rig.

A64 3700
X800XT
2GB Ram

It does however work on my laptop

Core Duo T2300
1GB ram
7600GT

seems quite fun but my lappy has trouble running it smoothly running it at a decent resolution with HDR enabled

jtorry · 9 Aug 2006 at 15:07

I get a crash to desktop at the end of the first load, even before I've seen a menu of any kind.

A64 4000, 1GB RAM, 6800GT with what i believe are pretty up to date drivers as I had a fresh install yesterday.

nickels · 9 Aug 2006 at 15:16

my rig = A64 3800 x2, x1800, 3gb ram
