Sanity Check in General

With the sudden increase and return of fun polls, I thought it would be useful to add a fourth one.

Really.

Check it out, it is useful, especially if you have created a poll, intend to create a poll, or think that polling on SW is a valid use of the earth's resources.

Edit - It turns out that polliong isn't a word.

The best part about the hintbooks is that you don't have to ask a question here, only to have it criticized and not answered at all.

You don't need the hintbooks. gamefaqs.com You may want the hintbook to fully explore things, as the gamefaqs may not have every detail worked out. I bought the Ex3 hintbook and didn't regret it. Especially for the golem factory. Stupid belts...

1. Decent storyline and unique setting.
2. Good logical gameplay.
3. Hugely double plus good customer service.
4. Free downloads, not limited by time, but by scope of action. (I've installed and forgotten things, and never played them because the free trial was up)
5. Just because it is a small indie game company. That's the kind of thing that must be supported.
6. With free trials, you should be asking which to try first, not why to try any at all...

DUEL me then! Unless you fear the terrible powers given to me by my permanent and unbreakable bond with the Word Association forum from which I did spawn and was ultimatly granted these gifts to purge the universe of all sentient life and to turn them into lifeless zombies with titles like "Streaker" and "Unlucky 13?"

Yeah, so if you do decide to spam, at least figure out how to write a coherent sentence. Or maybe even two, if you think you are just running on and on. I've cleaned it a little, but had to snicker the whole time. You sounded like the terrible wizard of OZ, except with even less power to back your "threats."

What is particular to Beowulf is that it survived. Not many other epic poems have done that, especially those originating within the 10th century.

Why not have an RPG where you can choose to start as a decent thief or a decent warrior and then fight in the army or rob shops, etc.
Please explain how seeing GAME OVER!!! when you die in a war, or are caught stealing and thrown in prison, would be an enhancement to your gaming experience. Seriously. Solve those two issues. Because if the game allows for PCs to be advanced enough at the start, the NPCs have to also be as advanced, or you lose balance and reality.

Why me? You did a fine job.

Really, if you find Geneforge 1 to be less replayable than Metroid, then it fails that test, for you. Others may enjoy tweaking their experience by using limitations. There are 3 player types, and several alliance paths. You can limit your creation work or canister use. You can figure out alternate routes.

I'm not saying G1 is the most replayable game out there, but for some people it may be moreso than for you. What it seems to lack, for you, is reward-stages. FF did that with their save-points. You knew something important had been accomplished because you had that opportunity. Clearing a zone just doesn't have the same effect, especially when you need to advance 10 more zones and then return in order to really clear it. (Hill of Jars).

Where did this crafting thing originate? If you seriously feel the need to make junk, take a course at your local community college, bring it to the state fair, and sell it. It will provide a whole wealth of practical experience that won't be found in these games, especially if there actually was crafting, which would mean that Jeff had finally succumbed, and gibbered as his main form of communication.

Runescape. Pffff.

Edit - Forgot the common comma.

I recommend naming things as they were done in medieval times.

PPP1: The exhalted one.
PPP2: The conqueror.
PPP3: El gordito.
PPP4: ?
