I can only remember one spotted-and-fail stealth mission (I believe where you're infiltrating the rocket) but if there were more I remember the fail conditions go away rather quickly because I shot my way through a ton of them like the mission where you're rescuing the scientist from the Societs. Every other "stealth" mission lets you kill people and raise the alarm with no repercussion even though it stresses you should be silent. And yeah, the stealth missions were as much bullshit as the ones in the original Medal of Honor. "Show me ur paperz." *thrust papers in dude's face* "Show me ur paperz" *yo, right here* "ACHTUNG!" NOLF2 greatly improved stealth but the story and design were much more conservative. NOLF1 had Metal Gear Solid levels of cutscenes and humorous dialog. NOLF2 removed half the cool gadgets, cut out most of the dialog, and had a ton of respawning enemies although stealth and shooting were improved and the levels a little more open in exchange for an RPG system. al-azad fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Apr 19, 2013 |

scamtank posted:That they've included the Windows 95 version as a bonus. Oh, that's nice. I still prefer the standard music, as great as both sets are. I've never really played its multiplayer outside of hotseat, but both modes still suffer heavily in Heroes 2, since only the last player to go actually sees computer movement, so unless he's been scouting out the entire map, the other players are boned unless they scan the minimap every turn.

Dominic White posted:Get the Circle of Eight pack straight away. This in not 100% accurate, the NC version also adds a bunch of short side areas/dungeons that start from the first village, by talking to the blacksmith(IIRC). It is a really good thing because it allows you to get to level 2 by running a small dungeon that they added instead of doing tedious courier quests in that miserable village. I really love the turn-based combat in ToEE, it's such a shame that all the other modern d&d games are real time.

It's not the greatest game Telltale has created but it's still really fun and hits all the right nostalgia notes; at that price it's a no-brainer.

Last time the subject of Co8 came up, I remember some people being really hesitant to even touch it because they heard that it changed the game and that they wanted the pure, true ToEE experience as the developers intended.

And to make any headway into the last act of the game, you need to learn and memorise all of them  .Tales of Monkey Island, however, is generally pretty intuitive and fun for the most part. There might be one or two things you hope they improve on after playing the first or second chapter, and they generally do so.

Nothing's ever quite going to match the magic of the first two Monkey Island games. It is what it is, the puzzles are good, so is the voice acting and story.

Well, personally I loved the hell out of Tales of Monkey Island. Nonetheless, I'd also say that it's only meant for Monkey Island fans and I just assumed all such people had already got the game by now. It is absolutely worth playing; its only real weak point is the first episode, which in my opinion doesn't match the quality of the rest of the game at all. Episodes 3, 4 and 5 in particular are excellent. As far as I'm concerned, Tales is the true sequel to MI3.

Telltale is really good about tying the episodes together in the last 2 episodes of a series, and it works pretty well for ToMI too if I remember correctly.

Additionally, the button presses for Monkey Kombat were random so you couldn't even really look up a guide to easily breeze through it. Unrelated to Monkey Island, am I the only one with nostalgia for Seven Kingdoms? A friend and I used to play multiplayer games all the time. I doubt it really holds up now, since I bought it on GoG but of course I haven't played it at all. The whole system of having people have to improve various skills, and the espionage system made it a lot of fun. If you've never played it, you could change the player color of any of your people at will, and if you changed it to the color of another player they would have control over it as well and it would basically act like one of their units. So you would infiltrate their villages/forts/whatever and see what they were doing. If your spy had high enough skills, when you turned him back to your control he could bring other units with him from the enemy team. I think, theoretically, if your spy became their king you could steal a huge part of their empire. I drove said friend insane, as he was terrified of that exact scenario, so he was easily beaten because I could just move same-race citizens near his stuff and he would drop whatever he was doing and basically not play because he was watching them like a hawk. You could execute your units at any time, too, so if you thought someone was a spy you could just kill them. He would empty out the populations of villages I got a spy into and have mass executions just to make sure one spy didn't worm his way into a factory or something. It was a unique RTS, I've never played with the expansion or the sequel so I don't know anything about those.

Considering the target audience that would even bother to participate on these, I have this suspicion that the GOG staff simply disregarded the results and went with what they were already planning: "presenting DLC in a better way" and only allow multiplayer games that "do it nice like Planetary Annihilation".

Anyone care to weigh in? From what I've heard, the game is buggy as poo poo and the user interface sucks. Also, It's just a graphical facelift of the original game, there's nothing new. I recommend avoiding Masters of the Broken World. I do, however, highly recommend getting the original game, Eador: Genesis if you even remotely like RPGs or TBSs as it's loving amazing. Edit: I should also mention that while Genesis is old, it still looks really nice, so the graphical update is even less of a big deal.

Actually bouncing off of your point, all they need to do is find one respected and desired game with a DRM lockdown or season pass or whatever, and hold the same poll, just with one question: should we change our minds for this one wittle game? The skirt would come off immediately.
