Still kickin' for now.

Trying out some new "Fable-esque" game called Venetica. Woman protagonist who has a village attacked in the opening and her finace' (?) is killed. She then meets Death and she's somehow the daughter. Right before this sequence of events we see the faces of some people in a very dark room that apparently just all turned themselves in to Lichs or Archons and now Death is somehow bound and can't eliminate them so he sends his "daughter" to go and kill them.

Along the way you get new weapons, custom-fit armor and special undead-killing weapons. Eventually you start learning necromatic magic and can later even call Death himself to instantly kill some enemies.

It's supposed to be a cinematic RPG instead of it being super combat heavy. It's got nearly as much ambiance as Oblivion but not quite as open world. I'm very impressed with the attention to detail and can easily overlook the pixely tree canopy and occasional artifact tearing.

Oooh, another game goes on my "Want List"; I hadn't heard about this one yet. Although, my bank account is officially depleted as of this week, so it'll be a while before I get to it (same old story with me. I'll probably buy it used one day). Plus, my PS3 has taken a backseat as of late, partly (along with my poor choice of spending and erratic income) due to my giving up PSN and games requiring OFW greater than 3.55. Venetica would probably work though. Too few games have a female protagonist (and Death's Daughter no less). Also, an Oblivion-like game with a more limited world is a good thing IMO. I'm interested.

Glad you're still around Kay! I was afraid you gave us up. :)
None of us have been around much lately though, it's not just you.
This place is just destined for obscurity...
...and yet, it remains one of my favorite message boards. I'll never completely forget here, even if I'm super quiet most of the time.

I'm reaching the end of chapter one of four, I guess. One is quite short compared to the others. There's dozens of side quests and more "buried treasure" to dig up, much like Fable but not with the same ugliness.

I'm a stickler for "dressing up my paper dolls" in games and it seems the main character has about a half-dozen or more outfits all tailored to fit her. I've seen three (four, I guess if you count one as intact and torn) and each has amazing detail. Weapons leave cool slice trails that are perfect circles (unlike PS1 era games where they were always straight lines to show movement) and hammers can hit the ground and cause a concussion warp like a charged shot from Samus' arm gun in Metroid Prime games. There's also neat-o cinematic "heavy hits" like if you chain enough attacks together and you get a slow motion last strike that smashes you opponents face in.

It's good fun and reminds me of older games like Fable, Tenchu, Oblivion and maybe even some Nightmare Creatures or Resident Evil.

wow, i guess i should feel sorry for myself. visiting the GRB is like a highlight to an otherwise dismal day. i have been around but my brain can barely string more than a few thoughts together before i lose focus and that is how you make a really good blueberry pie. until next time, good day and good eats.

I'm so horribly confused by that comment. *spins out of room* (Go to 0:18)
