I am playing the demo for Kings Bunty Legend. I have to admit usually I am not so much in RTS games but this one I like because it doesn't feel like an RTS but much more as a party based RPG
I've joined the club... I began playing King's Bounty today... I've put in about 4 hours and I have to say that I love it. It really captures the spirit of the original... and I love the turn based combat. It's a real gem, and I have a feeling it's going to take up quite a bit of my gaming time.
It's a great time for PC gaming (for me anyway ).
I had been falling into the grip of a PC resurgence.
Every night, when I must apportion my time, I'm choosing between King's Bounty, The Witcher: Enhanced, or Warhammer Online. And I can't decide, so progress in each is very, very slow. And I couldn't care less.
These are, every one of them, PC Games, unapologetically. They're not in any way generalized for some theoretical, universal palette, some nonexistent creature. They're each of them beautiful bastards that give generously, but will wring you out with their own demands. I like to be challenged by games, and I don't necessarily mean by their difficulty: I want to play games that ask serious questions about my genre assumptions. I don't think this is a universal desire, by any means. But it's a large part of why I play, and that raw, unapologetic, almost wilderness aesthetic doesn't exist anywhere else.
The time has come: final fight w/ Sarevok in BG1. Actually, just got past the first part, the doppleganger mosh pit at Duchal Palace, and now headed thru the thieves guild maze. Tonight i want to wrap it all up!
Well, then i get to install ToTSC...
no, i didnt know that. Oh glot....
I havent beat Sarevok yet tho, him and his homeys totally mopped the floor w/ me and my crew. Reading up on it, i think i can still do the ToTSC thing. I just have to install the expansion, load my save from before i went in to Sarevok's clubhouse, then cruise out and hit Ulgoth's Beard and go from there.
Looks like I'll probably be hounded by the Flaming Fist all the time tho... I'll just have to make a beeline for the loading zones when they start after me.
The "murder" of the Iron Throne cronies in their HQ when they attacked me, first part of the final Sarevok trail. From that point on, Flaming Fist have been confronting me, albeit only a single soldier, not the kitchen sink brigade that appears if you really start being bad.
got ToTSC running, loaded an old save and in Ulgoth's Beard right now. Had to use the MoveTo cheat and transport there tho, UB was not accessible otherwise. I scoured the edges of every map near and and couldnt get access.
BTW - gave in and picked up King's Bounty today - I'll be going on that pretty soon!
