And all the game shops. We get it on the 24th, along with Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners, and the expansion to AoW, and The Godfather, plus who knows what else.

mnnghhh, i want this now after reading the review, i was gonna wait a while, damn pcgamer! silly question but is online play free? or is the entire game online?

Lateralus · Post by **Lateralus** » March 19th, 2006, 22:32

As far as I'm aware its entirely offline. Its just an RPG, not a MMONG.

oh right, i didnt know anything about the game apart from what was posted on here. i thought marrowind was online. oh well, still looks like a good enough game to get my cash

It looks fantastic. They've incorporated quite a few of the things that were made in some of the more popular mods for Morrowind, including the horses and some other stuff I've forgotten just now.

The '2 day' video is out now too, with lots more fighting in it. And read that PC Gamer review spoodie put up too.

i was reading the review, but it made the game sound too good and i dont have the money for it right now, so i stopped reading before i ripped out of my own skull in anticipation

Pffft

I resigned myself to the fact that I would buy it when I first heard about it, and preordered it about a month ago.

Theres a few copies of the Godfather on the floor already tho!

This

I can't wait for it - even though it will arrive on the day I'm due to move into my house*, I know I'm going to be playing it like a crack whore.

*if the solicitors get their FUCKING ARSES IN GEAR!

See also; Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
I don't know if any of you are Lovecraft geeks, but I'm downloading this now, and have prepaid for a copy. Oh, and Act of War: High Treason/Manhattan Treachery is out on friday, too.

*wets self*

Lovecraft rocks, but whenever I've seen games inspired by his writings they all seem terrible. They tend to go for the more "gothic horror" approach, and miss out the "dream/nightmare world" aspects of his work.

Hopefully this one'll be better. I think it'd be hard to convert the dream world aspects into a game. How on earth would you make Unknown Kadath into a game? Alot of his stuff makes no physical sense.

Let me know if it's any good

ooh.

it looks like some parts of this game are starting to fall off the table.

cashy · Post by **cashy** » March 21st, 2006, 0:26

if one were to accidently drop this onto ones floor, how heavy would it be for oneself to pick it up?

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » March 21st, 2006, 0:31

It's currently looking at being about 4.5Grams, that's about 4500MG.

Just to clear it up, it looks like there's just an official release date of week begining the 20th, so you may have some difficultly finding it to pick up as yet.

cashy · Post by **cashy** » March 21st, 2006, 2:37

its always best to be prepared though, should one drop it in the future

*wants* however i think i'll probably sweep the floor first, i have a feeling this will run as bad as cod 2 in dx9 mode...
