Giadon Saga

Yeah I gave this one a go, but like a few others in this thread I just threw in the towel once I hit the werewolves/healer combo. Try to take out the werewolf and the healer keeps him going, try to take out the healer and the werewolf claws you a new one.

Also, not being able to sell anything in the shops? Sorry the whole point of upgrading (ooh, look I bought a couple of black katana's) means I should be able to sell my old ones so I can maybe buy a bit of equipment. Seems a little harsh to stop me doing that, and also makes me less likely to keep going when other things get to me (like the werewolves).

I also have to add my two cents to the mapping, the rooms are HUGE with almost nothing in them, the shop keepers are miles from the door with no stock on display, the castle seems to have 3 rooms in total (throne, big brother & Da-Zar's) and miles and miles of corridors, the pub is 14 windows long with 6 tables and a bar in the far corner, in fact apart from the crazy collector lady no-one needs to have rooms that large.

Though the CCL does bring up a point. I really like the humour in this game, humour is a hard one to get right, but this really works for me. I found it hilarious that one of the first quests was to make sure the 'service provider' got paid and then the way the prince was paid back, priceless. The prince is an arrogant so-and-so, but you say he is in his bio and he lives up to it, characters are well rounded and actually interesting and do make me want to keep going.

But oh, those sodding werewolves!

The area might well be small but the frequency of attacks along with the strength and continually hitting you while it takes you time to scroll down and fight,spell or bendover, makes each battle something to basically sit back and just see how long it takes to wipe out your party. And then you have to fight that skeleton....monsters are simply overpowered or too damn quick...SOMETHNG is too much...and this early in the game....?!
Obviously others have gotten past this and even finished the game. I am thinking there is simply bad luck for most players.
On the other hand whats the gainof creating monsters that people complain about rather than tell you how they enjoy the game overall. Most like a challenge whether its monsters, bosses, puzzles etc but when you find areas like the one we are all talking about,and you see posts about being frustrating or throwing in the towel....and your comments are essentially oh well, get past this bump in the road and all will be better...THAT is frustrating. I think even you alluded to the fact that the game will only get harder...gee what an incentive to keep playing.
As I mentioned before I like the game and the music is really good. Like Nhubi said the humor is really witty! I look forward to seeing what someone is going to say next.
As far as I am concerned you guys and gals who make these games have extreme talent....kudos to all. And a game is a game is a game, been there done that,etc.....its hard to create something which will stand out.
In any case, Nhubi presented the overall case very well ....pay attention to it. Your response didnt really address anything she/he) said.
Ok little brother I am finished. Dont take my post as being mean spirited. If I didnt think it was worth playing you would have no post from me at all.
Maybe for people who want to enjoy the game, create a patch that can be d/l if wanted.

Hi,
can you give me a hint where the damn special floor tile is ? I'searching now for hours, can't find it.

How many side quests are there ? I see 24, i have finished 23 (Level 37).

Wildwind

I'm in the final chapter, quite ready to begin the last journey (but clearing last missions is my actual priority).
The game is probably "a tad worse", you are right. No, Just kidding.

I personally hate the great part of random fights because they are lamely hard. I mean, if you are levelled up enough to one shot one kill A WHOLE GROUP of enemies it means you have grinded enough BUT..
There is no item preventing status changes and some enemies are just too randomly hard.

FOR THOSE WHO WILL PLAY, KEEP THAT IN MIND: You could get a match every 2 seconds and most of enemies hit twice and fastly so you will see 12 ENEMY HITS IN A ROW and in some cases you can't do nothing. In a certain area you will find an enemy group that will CONFUSE AND SILENCE ALL YOUR PARTY before you can even click or in another area a group that will BERSERK AND BURN all of your party. It means you have just to wait and hope you won't get killed.
Escape rate is near 10%, status change rate near 100% (even sudden death...).

Resume: This game is hard, but boringly hard. What you have to do is stand next to an healing point and save after every battle. That's the only way to grind. Even this way you will have to restart a lot (because of impossible fights, like the "I have all my party confused and silenced from round 0.5 and I have learned that's easier pressing F12 to restart than wait 3 minutes to be dead").

The next time try balancing a little more. ;)
Anyway this game has a lot of REALLY FUNNY stuff, if you're kinky you will love it!

I'm pretty sure anyone could be happy of "weakness spot defense".
In your next game keep that strategy need focused but give players some item to defend from status changes or from elemental weaknesses (even a bit).
I'm in the last dungeon (cleared the "optional" one), against the last boss and my way here has been a nightmare! The 3 elemental masters random encounter kills all my 34 level party before I even click most of the times.


Another hint: for the last last secret post game dungeon. Please, make a way back LoL. I've overwrote the save and now I can't complete the last guild mission :( :( :(

Done... hope you can warp me out! I want to know Madame Vi... better :D

Going to stop playing this one. First - monsters are wayyy too overbalanced - I have to keep going back to the castle to hit the heal crystal in Da-Zar's room every two or three battles so I don't burn through potions. Second - potions are too expensive in comparison to the amount of gold dropped. I understand mana potions being more expensive, but healing potions should be at least half the cost of mana potions, and potions that remove bad statuses (poison, etc.) should be cheaper than healing potions. Third - no place to sell old equipment. Fourth - random encounter rate is too high considering the overbalancing of the monsters. Fifth - not enough chests in which to find either potions, weapons, armor or accessories. Sixth - weapons, armors and accessories in towns are way too expensive in comparison to the gold dropped. This game needs a complete overhaul.

If I knew how to make a game, Id fight for it like it was my own child. Id want everyone to love my game even if they didnt and for sure, not everyone will. I wouldnt be so complacent in my responses to people. I really liked your game BUT it WAS overly biased against the player. Thats not really even a major problem because a challenge makes you say, "Hey I can go back and try this bitch again."
But whenever someone tries to draw you out and hope you show some major love for your creation, you always seem to be,"Well whatever happens, happens...if you dont like it, tough titty."
If you made it just for yourself to enjoy you shouldnt have put it out. But you did. And we played it. We had concerns and ideas and suggestions. As it went along there started to be slight warnings about the difficulty and none stated in meanness but in hopes you might fix it or have an attitude of,"Thanks for the great ideas and I WILL make a better game next time."
But you are so laid back.
I really am curious to see your next game because this had some serious good things with it. But little brother, you need to be more humble in your reactions to those who played your game. That was some bad advice you gave there to Horror even though the review was a little forceful, at least it was accurate.
Right click, delete, empty recycle bin...
This was your child and you kicked it to the curb.

Ok.
Game completed, 30 missions cleared, everything in my way killed.

I already said what I think about the overall difficulty setting and you are aware about it too, so it's useless repeating myself.

2 things, one public and one hidden:
PUBLIC: I see in you a good potential, It's pretty amazing the progress you made in such a short time between your games and personally I can't wait to see your next game. Despite your reactions you proved yourself open to suggestions. Keep going!

Hidden


Thanks a lot for this game!!! ;)

I've finished Chapter 4.
Anybody know how many times you have to talk to the old man's cat before he says something other than meowwwwww????
