Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

Seriously awesome game.

Only gripe is the bad quality of the pre-rendered cutscenes.
Scratch that, I just have a bad version.

First thoughts:

mgc. says:
*Dude, got any more of that futa?

Shit, wrong paste.

mgc. says:
*i am apalled by the lack of usable cardboard boxes in this game.
*but being a woman makes up for it.

mgc.         (velvet assassin lol) says:
*so yeah
*i'm playing a game where you're a female morphine addict with a knife killing nazis
*it's awesome.

I saw it up for sale on Steam. Wasn't interested in it really, but I might take a look into it later.

CAFG, you've obviously never played the game.

I saw the trailer. If it isn't so typical then I don't know why they would go out of their way to advertise it as such.

Relatively ancient and inactive

What CAFG said. Seeing the trailer, along with in-game shots, what is it if not an FPS?



None.

A Shooting RPG? :O

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

It's a third-person stealth game, read: Splinter Cell, MGS. More noob friendly than Splinter Cell, but harder than MGS.

It's not an FPS whatsoever. Ammo is scarce, you die easily and you gain health from silent knife kills.

Repeat: It is not an FPS.

Heard it was quite average. It doesn't do sneaking right as some games and the action isn't as well as an action game. I don't think the multiplayer will be up to par as well.

So this is like, a World War II Assassin's Creed (somehow)?
GameSpot's review says its only flaws are the AI and sometimes dull gunplay.



None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
