Does this game still hold up?
Yeah, it still kicks ass.
>>331195428
No, it's kicked the bucket
I still play it for kicks.
>>331195428
nah, tried it again recently and was sorely disappointed to find that it was pretty much entirely nostalgia
Combat that allows throwing/dropping physics stuff on enemies and ragdol kicking them into hazards in Source Engine cant really ever be truly boring. Its actually the only fun aspect of the game that hasnt aged at all imo.
>>331195428
Oh yes, its still an amazing game. The combat is top notch, especially if you ignore the kicking meme and embrace the swordplay and magic.
>>331195545
>nostalgia
>for a game from like 2007
What?
>>331195428
Still alive and kickin'
>>331195428
yes
>>331196295
>kicking meme
Kicking is fun and efficient. Especially when you knock enemys over and then stab them in the chest with your sword
>>331197881
>enemys
enemies, fuck me.
Only if you play it for the demon pussy
Still the best FPS melee combat game on the market. Followed closely by Dying Light.
>>331195428
Yes, DO NOT EVER JUDGE THE GAME BY THE
GOD AWFUL CONSOLE VERSION
This game's entire selling point was the title as in being the world it was and being this type of game, as well as the first game to support AA and HDR due to how HDR was used in the game. Source engine gameplay allowed for fun physics usage.
This game was amazing, back when Ubisoft wasn't total shit.
God awful console version couldn't handle HDR and the lighting was replaced by this white glow that absolutely killed the feel and look of the game.

It's an arkhane game, ubisoft was just the publisher.
>>331198356
I know, I still call it an ubisoft game because there was a time where they weren't hated.
Some other studio did the multiplayer too which died super fast, but was actually fun.
Who /Arkanebro/ here?
Dishonored 2 is gonna be great.
How does it determine which cutscenes you get?
First time I played I got demonic ones and now I'm playing again and I'm not getting any demonic cutscenes
>Kept crashing on windwos 7

The game actually got a late patch on Steam, it has nothing to do with Windows. It used to inexplicably crash on certain machines, now it works.
ye
Should I play Arx Fatalis?
>>331200161
Disgusting
>>331195428
Played it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was amazing.
>>331199293
Please respond.
>>331198545
/arkanebro/ here. I am ready.
Oh...Sareth!
>>331200607
yes, and get open fatalis for that support
>>331200607
I would also like to know this, I got stuck at some orcs and quit a while ago.
KILL THAT WENCH
>>331198545
Right here. Arkane are still one of the good devs out today. Even if they don't release games that often.
>>331200634
Agreed. She could have been fairly attractive but ruined herself with terrible ink that will age worse than she does.
>>331198545
>>331200720
I do not forgive them for not making Arx 2
>Choosing the filthy demon over pure divine beauty

pretty sure bethesda overlords will not let them make RPG ever again
sad really they could've been very good RPG studio
their art director is great

>>331201676
They really now how to make character development effect gameplay.
Though I think that dishonored progression system is slightly better then arx's.
>>331202420
>Code: Lyoko will never be as good as you remember
>>331203385
The Code Lyoko I remember is certainly not good.
What the fuck is up with the combat in this game? It's fun as hell, but it's broken as shit. I can't get past the first two fucking blackwatch guards because I will randomly be damaged for 1/5th my HP, sometimes when the enemy isn't even facing me. My blocking is pointless because I'll still take the damage if I get hit, but dodging doesn't work because even if the enemy misses I get damaged when I re-enter his range to counterattack. I have legitimately never seen such wasted potential.
Not really no. I got memed into buying it.
It would have blown my mind if I had played it when it came out, but it's aged like fucking shit.
>>331195428
it's basically a blueprint for Dishonored, but somehow more fun
>>331202053
at one point there was supposed to be a curtain of fire instead of mist in those cutscenes with Xana.
The file with animated fire is still there somewhere in game files.
>>331203775
>using the aged poorly argument because you didn't like the game
just say you didn't like the game.
>>331195428
I played it through a couple of years ago and the combat was fun, but in general the game wasn't that great. I wouldn't replay it.
The problem with the game is how small the maps are and how short the game is.
The gameplay is good and it's a fine game. There's just not enough of the game.
We need mods for it. New maps. Fan campaigns. New enemies. New spells.
>>331203998
Did I say I didn't like the game you meme loving fuck?
The game was alright, nothing special, kind of a slog towards the end. It meant exactly what I said, if I hadn't experienced better and more entertaining games before I would have been incredibly impressed by it. But I didn't buy it until last year so I was way late.
The combat is still top notch and some of the level design is still fairly clever.
The game has aged a bit though, and you can tell (especially in regards to story and progress), but it definitely holds up.
It's about 10 hours long, just enough to be insanely fucking fun and then it starts to wear out. Perfect lenght.

Yeah, right.
Never forget.
>>331204205
>We need mods for it.
the funny thing is that the game editor works fine as far as I know.
There was a mention of some graphical corruption in the editor but it's easily fixable by overwriting the shaders the editor uses by the ones from the game.
Kicking orcs off cliffs was incredibly fun
Most of the game is kind of mediocre though
>Between 2006 and 2007, Arkane Studios was working in conjunction with Valve Software to develop a game in the Half-Life series called Return to Ravenholm. The project has since been cancelled and its existence has been confirmed by Valve employee Marc Laidlaw
we could have kicked headcrabs
>>331204446
Man, i just want custom levels, fuck everything else. The game was short, most of the time you are into a fucking catacomb/crypt/temple. I want different places to explore.
Stealth was basic enough but sucked dick in the end.
I just got to the epilogue, no motivation to continue playing, it's boring and I don't like this xbox hueg super dark filled with ghouls level
>>331202617
THE CROSSING
OH FUCK I FORGOT
>>331195428
yes
The difficulty curve is really, really fucked
Beginning is easy, mid way is really hard and end is easy-normal again

Game is super awesome, kicking and playing with the physics engine is way more powerful than most spells. https://youtu.be/I8okWWzYSrU

Recent AAA titles have worse ragdoll and physics interactions than a game released in 2006...

Yes.
But only if you have patience with huge levels full of nothing.
Seriously fuck those dungeons. Once you kill the orc leader you can pretty much uninstall.
>>331212070
The game takes place on a catacomb/temple/crypt most of the time, everything is dark as fuck and the only enemie you face are zombies or ghouls. Thats one of the cons of the game
>>331206136
I never finished the game, I got stuck and lost and confsed in epilogue
>>331212070
>>331212470
what about the fire and the blood?
there are like, 3 dungeons in the game
by chapter, it's
Zombies -> dudes -> dudes -> dudes -> orcs -> zombies -> orcs again -> dudes -> dudes+zombies -> dudes+zombies
>>331213429
same, on my first run
you're not missing /that/ much. it's a confusing level
