Demons Age - Releases June 30th

Felipe (of CRPG book fame) tweeted that he is also playing the game and kind of enjoying it. He is fairly critical of new stuff so that was kind of surprising.

Doesn't surprise me, actually. I wouldn't be surprised either if it's found out that some regular Codex poster was the one who actually made this abomination.

Hmm now I think you are pushing an agenda :p You like EVERYTHING under the sun so I am highly surprised you think this is an "abomination". I would have believed you if you just its "decent"! Since I would have equated your "decent" with my "abomination"!

I am joking of course but you see how your views on this can get people to think?

Also I am not fan of codex but they have pretty solid views and ideas on RPG and I would more interested if the game was actually made by them!

I'll refer people to my post about what a hassa is. You are full of shit, period. The game sucks.
It is hilarious how you lost your shit over a tablet level rpg when you yourself are so proud about playing console and tablet games with your controller.
Can you show us on what naught spot the mean Fish in first combat of this game touched you? There is no other explanation for your rampage atm

Oh, I have an agenda. Now I do. It's to make sure anyone who would have scammed by these creatures doesn't get scammed. I just posted my beta impressions over in the General RPG forum for all of your perusal. :)
 
Yes its very narrow but they are usually spot on about "old school turn based" games.

In fact, so long as it's an old-school turn-based RPG - it's going to be good according to the Codex.

So, there, now you don't have to visit their forums anymore ;)

I just have you all the insight they're ever going to give you.

Well, to be fair, whatever solid views and ideas about RPG design they have, this game in no way, shape or form reflects them. From what I understand, most Codexers like old-school CRPGs that actually have meat and substance to them. This game has none of that, which is why I find it suspicious that certain Codexers give it such an easy pass, yet bash something like Pillars or Wasteland 2.

Yes I hardly visit them!

However I don't know anything about Demon Age but now a codexian thinks its decent. Since I am interested in old school turn based RPGs, i draw the conclusion its has to be better than what Fluent is making it out to be!

It is better but not much better. I played worse (legends of dawn for example) and I played much better ones.
This one needs a few more months of cooking but this time with real effort.

They are not giving it easy pass. He simply said it looks good so far....

I am not claiming its good or anything! Its seems very odd that Fluent thought it was an "abomination"! Hence why I posted about what Felipe said.

Hey, throw your $60 down, then. Go for it. And I want to see the Paypal receipt. Also, you can let us know what you think of the game afterwards.

If this is "looking good" than Wasteland 2 must be beyond God-Tier.

A few more months? I'd say more like an actual development cycle. Or some attempt to create a game worth playing, however long that takes.

When your CRPG dialogue options are Skip and Skip All, yeah, I'd say your game needs some "real effort". That makes Fallout 4 look downright intricate.

Yep, and impressions become quite negative fairly quickly:
"Sadly, the more I play, the more of Chaos Chronicle's face falls off and more of Demons Age I get… no char gen, no skills, auto-level up… :("

There's literally nothing that makes it worth playing. Not. One. Thing.

I'd maybe give it a pass as just a bad, even terrible game and let it slide, but then I find out they're charging $60?! Yeah, no.

Are you over reacting a bit here? :p

Even if I love a game, I don't as matter of rule avoid buying a game at release. I wait few weeks or even months!

I am not claiming this game is good. I am only surprised about your views of the game given your past about other games on this forums. Thats it and nothing more!

My view of this game also comes from the fact that I think it's a scam. I am being harsh for that reason as well. But, the game itself is beyond terrible. It is not an overreaction, I assure you. If you believe it is, I kindly urge you to buy the game, try it, and come back and share your thoughts. I mean this with all sincerity.

No, please don't buy it. I question if it will even come out now.

Well Age of Decadence was basically a Codex game.

And by all accounts, a real game.

This waste of hard drive space encapsulates nothing, absolutely nothing that the RPG Codex would tout they wanted in an RPG. You can't create a character, you can't customize your stats/skills/feats, you can't do ANYTHING IN DIALOGUE WITH ZERO ROLEPLAYING and the game auto-levels you when you level up!! As to just place the dog doo-doo cherry on your shit sundae!

5 laughing heads out of 5!

I'm kinda busy the next few days, but I can always download it and try it for a few minutes and give you my two cents ;)

DArt, please, no. Do not spend a penny or give anything monetarily towards anything related to this game. Do not encourage these people.

Shoot, if you figure out a way I can send you my Steam beta copy, I'd do that first. Do not give them a cent.
