What do you mean by nice gameplay? I thought some of the bigger areas had really awesome gameplay - snipers spawning in, flying monsters ,etc. But yeah, not being able to die contributes significantly to the shortness of the game. I do think the afterlife was a nice addition, but maybe should have let you come back only a certain number of times (lives/continues/whatever) per level. That would have made the gameplay a little more challenging.
Portals

Prey had this type in 1997, so I don't know why they didn't put a portal gun in the final game...

That's how Portals should be used.

what tricksters could come up with that?
Someone make a fps puzzle game with push / pull guns and that portal gun. :)
Okay

I'm not a Valve fan, but that looks fuckin sweet. I may have to reinstall HL2 if that's a mod. Nice find.

http://www.titanquestgame.com/ Look very nice and have read nuthing but good reviews from most places. Dungeon Siege esque, how can it not be good? Has anybody here tried this game and is it worth shelling out the �17.99?

i'm planning on getting that soon... i'll let you know when i do. :)

Aye its good, its more Diablo than dungeon siege though (which is great!).
I currently have a level 24 elementalist, and I can see myself replaying this game a lot, as you can only choose 2 skill professions per character (and there are 8 (??) professions in the game) and each one is very cool and different.
Basicly if you loved Diablo you will like this a lot, I would say its not *quite* as good but its sure worth a look.
One thing that has really irritated me so far though is that 90% of the *good* loot that drops is for warrior type characters, ie. damn good armour pieces and huge swords, so my lonely little mage is feeling mightly left out, maybe its just bad luck I dunno but its getting tiresome :)
Also its just too damn easy (im playing on normal though...), my character seems to nuke everything (literally lol) usually before they reach me, and if they do my core dweller soon stomps on them :D

Funny how you went from paragraph 4 to paragraph 5. Surely the irony there is intentional.
Just Started Playing Today..
#627 posted by necros on 2006/08/03 00:04:47
i had one of the ice mage style chars, but it felt really weak, so i restarted as a fire/earth magey char, and this guy is crazy now...
most of the spells one or two shot the mobs, and i just got this elemental beast thing... my minion can pretty much solo a large group of mobs on it's own, so i just send him in and use aoe bombs. whee... :P
hopefully it gets harder later on, but after reading Daz's post, i'm a little worried. :)
game runs pretty well, but there are some odd bugs like some parts of the sound (music and some battle sounds) cutting out for a few seconds, followed by some dumb ai pathing so that when my minion can't make it to a mob, instead of giving up, it makes the game get really choppy until you kill the mob to make the minion stop trying to path to it.
i've heard it crashes a lot, but haven't had it crash on my yet in about 3 hours of play.
anyway, mroe later when i get furthur in, i suppose.
i'm taking this as a good warmup since i plan to renew my WoW subscription again.. 9_9
Hmm

what's with everyone playing mmorpgs? it seems counterproductive to me, since the game is obviously only designed to get you to play nonstop (so blizzard can get your monthly [rent] money).

Playing computer games in general has never been exactly productive,

Well, I guess they are kinda like irc, only with fancy graphics, and silly quests to do when you would be idling and doing something more productive if you were in irc.
Anyway, I don't think I only speak for myself here, but playing Quake hasn't exactly been unproductive, since it has led to a lot of other stuff. Playing WoW would surely just make me have less money, time and perhaps more internet friends... whooopie!
Seem like a waste of money to me.
If there was a pay by the minute option, where each minute cost around 1/40,000th of the regular monthly subscription, then maybe I would bother, but as I am a value for money man, I wouldn't be getting perceived value from a mmopoioreiopppgg unless I played it all the time.

Jago: true, but with Quake you're not paying a monthly fee to be unproductive.

Wow was really interesting for about a year but then it`s just the same old stuff over and over. I just lost the time and patience to sit there 4-8hrs at a time doing 20-40man instances, with some angst teenager shouting bullshit over ventrillo at you.
I don`t think I`ll be subscribing to another mmo, single player is where it`s at.
Hmmm, how about Mmo quake?
