BluesNews is reporting that Gamespy have posted a preview of Restricted Area, the upcoming Post Apocalyptic RPG in progress, here's a bit:<blockquote>Much like Diablo, Restricted Area also generates some of its "dungeons" randomly, which should ensure some re-playability. (I played the original Diablo in its entirety at least five times because of its "random" feature.) The game also includes a "collect all" button, so you don't have to hunt around for things you might have overlooked after mowing down half a dozen or so mutated monsters.</blockquote>Ack, sounds boring.

Dont forgot the "Play all" button too, that plays all the game for you :)

But I'd give the game a go, err providing I get a new computer that can play these games :)
 
Wait, I have to add Restricted Area to my "Games I never intend to play"-list.
 
...so you don't have to hunt around for things you might have overlooked after mowing down half a dozen or so mutated monsters.

Ratty.

If this video publication was PREdestined to be a 'screen-saver', then any act of ""free will"' that you imply by "intending"" or ""not intending"" to obtain and - play - this candidate for autistic entertainment is a futile, heroic gesture.

""Playing"" as an option may only apply to this product "pretending" to be a game.

We all know we have more productive uses for our imaginations than to
pretend this disk in a box, this commercial commodity, will be a reasonable placebo for a "'game"'.

What productive use of our imaginations?

Such as? Such as, me flipping this ontological fris-bee your way.

Catch this ....


Smart money ""playing"" it 'safe'. RA predestined to be a 'screen-saver'.



My last gasp at ""free will"", maybe be this lonely leap at a value judgment, ... , on reading, this compromised collaboration, is a Diablo Clone.

They could call it the "magnet button".
 
I remeber playing diablo and having to wiggle the mouse all over teh screen trying to find a tiny ring hidden under a pile of bodies. The only reason that I even knew there was something was because I heard the 'ding' it made when it hit the ground. So I can under stand a that it could be usefull for picking up items.

but there are other ways this could be done:

1) Have the items highlighted so they can be spotted

2) Have all the items stay on the body so you only have to search the body and then click a 'Take all button' (FO2)

3) Have an NPC character who is a robot vacume cleaner that can be ordered to 'auto search bodies after combat'

I think FO2 done this well, maybe you could have bodies you havent searched be highlighted for a few minutes.

Though I think it would be cool to be able to order your NPCs to have looting options
a) 'auto search bodies after combat'
b) 'auto search bodies during combat'

In fact I demand NPCs to have looting options :)

Um, you do know that when you hold Shift the game displays name tags above dropped items?
 
Heh, seems like Mr. Don't-Want-To-Play-The-Game To-Enjoy-It is going to find a good product.

5 Times? I got bored before finnishing second act in diablo II, I can not imagine even in my wildest nightmares how it is possible toenjoy finnishing it *5* times :shock:

I may try that game out, bt if it's like diablo I most certantly won't finnish it, hell, I found even Fallout 2 to be too long...
 
Heh, I played through Diablo II three or four times, but I killed Diablo and Baal about a thousand times. Does that count as "finished the game"?
