Mr.knowitall Warrior Member # 5619	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 16:59 Profile Homepage #0 This question is for MAC user. After playing GF3 is it worth it for many months of waiting? I can't answer this question, because I'm a window user,so I have to wait 'till summer.... -------------------- If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 17:03 Profile Homepage #2 If you liked GF2 and wanted to play more of it without much alteration, then you'll probably like GF3. If you liked GF2 because it had new creations and new factions, you may be disappointed by GF3. If you didn't like GF2 but liked GF1 for the discovery and exploration, you may like GF3. I personally think I'm going to play some Blades scenarios for a while until I get bored with that, and then I'll probably play GF3, but then, I was always more of an Avernum fan than a Geneforge fan anyway. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Maybe it's because you can play avernum so much longer. I have good memories of playing avernum. Well, I guess I could say the same for geneforge but it sucks now, and even though I haven't played any spiderweb games for months, I would choose avernum over geneforge. As I said in another post, probably cause it has monsters that respawn. Plus you can have more than 1 PC. -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse! Posts: 394 \| Registered: Saturday, November 20 2004 08:00
Zorro Lack of Vision Member # 2717	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 19:54 Profile #6 I've purchased Geneforge 3 and am having a blast! It feels more polished than G2. It includes a lot more unique enemies, and some NPCs that can tag along, often inserting themselves in conversations. They seem more engaged that NPCs from Baldur's Gate, but less so than Baldur's Gate 2. My only real complaint is that I'm not a big fan of the new shaper avatar. I think I liked the old one better. As to whether it is worth the wait - that's a very hard question to answer. I think it was, but others will surely disagree. The person above who mentioned that if you liked G2, than you'll really like this one, is right. I also think that the factions seem to be more brutal, all of them. None of them are really well-meaning - they're all power hungry and taking an "any means necessary" approach. Don't expect to get a lot of warm fuzzy feelings from this game. In all likelihood, you'll genuinely despise aspects of the faction you've joined. Z -------------------- Pan Lever: Seventeen apple roving mirror moiety. Of turned quorum jaggedly the. Blue?

zippy_zaboo Apprentice Member # 5354	written Thursday, March 31 2005 02:03 Profile #7 I think it's not different enough. No new spells, really, or new creations. No new general plot schemes--same old 'shapers versus powerhungry maniacs' thing. Similar, though slightly improved, graphics. Having played the demo, I don't intend to register this versino though i loved GF2. Posts: 21 \| Registered: Monday, January 3 2005 08:00
Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Thursday, March 31 2005 02:54 Profile #8 Yes. I like the 'shapers versus power-hungry maniacs' theme. It's a big theme. It'll hold up for a few more games beyond this one even, as far as I'm concerned. The developments in G3 seem to be interesting but inevitable in retrospect. I like the technical elaborations in the engine. And I like how the various NPCs all seem closer, somehow. Maybe it's just that more of them have more in common with the PC, but folks like Master Hoge and Diwaniya seem more understandable and sympathetic than people like Barzahl or Ellrah. Maybe what it really is, now that I think about it, is that the mid-level NPCs are given a lot more personality than in the previous games, where practically only the sect leaders had anything much to say. -------------------- We're not doing cool.

Toenail Returns Agent Member # 3349	written Thursday, March 31 2005 03:09 Profile Homepage #9 I guess I'm kinda more of an Avernum fan too. But anyway, I liked G2 and G1 so I'm hoping I'll quickly get into G3's plot. -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 \| Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00
Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Thursday, March 31 2005 05:57 Profile #10 I think it is. In G1 and G2 I pretty much led everyone on. More or less power played it until I had to pick a side. In this one you are forced to make side choosing decisions to advance. I'll know for sure when I find out about the geneforge and if I get to use it.

Controversial BANNED Member # 5219	written Thursday, March 31 2005 06:03 Profile #11 I think the original was better than the second one. A reason for this might be because everyone has expectations for the sequel. -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I didn't really take much of a shine to the new creations in GF 2, and wished they had stuck with the originals. To be honest, I have fonder memories of GF 1. The plot was more... intriguing, and the atmosphere was more 'tense'. You were totally alone, had a hell of a lot to explore, and could use the Geneforge. I can't wait for GF 3. At least they haven't added more uncreative creations (Drakkon? Eyebeast? Give me a break!) -------------------- VIVE LA TAKERS! VIVE LA REBELLION! VIVE LA GHALDRING!
