Title: from dust
Post by: Bethor on July 27, 2011, 01:16:44 PM
Must say this game appeals to me also. Does remind me of Populus and more recently Black & White.

Hope its as good as it looks, but from the eggsbox 3.60 review i've seen its not "that great" :(

reminds me more of "Doshin the giant" than "populous "

early reviews ive heard of it state horrible controls and that with a controller ;)

apparently working the controler is a hassle, also some pathfinding problems

I thought that the preorder of Star Wars was f-in cheap too, till I found out it was only a down-payment. Wondering if the same applies here.

£12 to get this off steam on preorder...

However huge downside is needing an ubisoft account too - for online play (why when its connected to steam ffs!).

What online play. Its a singleplayer game! I fear its DRM

I don't do drm, i buy via steam so you can shove drm where the sun doesn't shine

than again, it looks fun though. If they ever add some sandbox or freeplay mode i'll suffer DRM.

But for now its just a puzzle game, there are achievements. But after that its done, so either MP or Sandbox/freeplay else it will just be a shiny bauble that i can resist.

Yeah that put me off once I heard that, id much prefer it to be sandbox (on the pc at least, fuck console users).
