RPGDot - the RPGs of 2005

[Odin]

RPGDot have posted a new feature called The RPGs of 2005, the first part talks they talk about various upcoming games like The Fall:<blockquote>Silver Style Entertainment’s The Fall: Last Days of Gaia had a difficult release in Germany, with numerous technical issues causing problems. The team has been quick to address these issues with a string of patches hitting in quick succession. No US or UK publisher has yet been announced but Lead Designer Carsten Strehse has indicated on the forums that a likely partner has been found. If you like the idea of a traditional party-based RPG in a post-apocalyptic environment, the English version should be fairly polished by the time it is released. German reviews have been generally positive, with particular praise for the strength of the quests and story.</blockquote>Releasing a buggy game isn't a strong indicator of a good game, but I'll give Silver Style the kudos for at least patching it.

The Bard's Tale appears to have turned out quite a good game. At least I like what the reviews said about the design.

Er actually the reviews were awfull, i`ve been following them on RPGDot and RPGCodex and it has been quite trashed as a game with lots of humour but no gameplay at all.

Edit: Part 2 is up, many Fallout references this time.

Maybe I read the wrong reviews, I noticed BT mentioned in the RPGs for 2005, and quickly looked up about half a dozen reviews, all of which gave it great scores.

If bad gameplay scores would affect me, I wouldn't like Legacy of Kain so much now would I.
