Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer Review
Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer Review
comment=31556
Definitely not. Sorry to disappoint those of you who think I hunt down games I don't like in order to destroy them. =)Finally, there is the issue of whether games should be fun. Fun is a very strong word that I have tried to avoid using in my time at RMN. Why? Because this is definitely the most subjective thing related to playing games. Also, it is flawed to value games only on the basis of fun. Why? Because not all gameplayers choose to play a game necessarily looking for it. Ever heard of wasting time or looking for a challenge?
Sorry but I don't understand this argument at all. How are those other things you mentioned mutually exclusive to fun?
That's why I included wasting time, on purpose. Some people would rather be doing something than nothing at all. And they don't necessarily do that because they want to have fun.

I look for challenge, but I find challenge fun.
Honestly I find this statement incomprehensible edchuy.
That's exactly my point, you might find challenge fun but others might find it frustrating. Your idea of fun might not be the same as others. I normally like challenge as well but also can get easily frustrated by it (which is no longer makes it fun). That's why I'm ambivalent about it.

A few things I would like to mention:
I don't think anywhere here condones rape and torture.They are things that I'm sure all would agree we would prefer wouldn't actually exist. It does take some courage to aboard such themes, which I believe calunio has tried to do. This type of game could have never been approved for a legal, commercial release. Thankfully (regardless of whether you agree or not with the premise and content involved), indie communities like RMN have a space for it.
The game does include a rarely seen disclaimer that's intended for "Mature Audiences Only" (which should be included more often, IMO). Presumably whoever considered downloading it at the minimum saw that the game involved torture, which should hinted those who have a very strong ideological stance about exposing themselves or their families to that to avoid it altogether. I have no idea whether Solitayre would have even considered playing it had he not been a Game Gale judge.

I don't agree with almost any aspect of your review, but I still respect your opinion, especially since you made some good arguments to support it. The one thing I know for sure that we had in common was noting that the Dungeoneers' website bore a certain similarity to something we all know. I suspect this game will be one of those which people either love or hate. Whether it erupts into a flame war (I am hoping it doesn't), we'll find out soon enough.
EDIT: Here we go!

Don't double post, it's rude.
It wasn't intentional. Damn RMN 3.0. Don't tell me it has never happened to you.

Could I have missed him in the beta? Anyway, I'll eventually replay the final release.
I basically agree with the conclusion of this review, although I haven't seen "Saw".

calunio, is the first screenshot something you change?
BTW, I more or less agree with this review with regard to some of the particulars. The thing I don't contend with is its bottom line.

EpiQuest Review
Yes, liza. To the avoid the encounters, you have to able to dodge or run away from the sprites that generate the battles, which is not always possible, especially in some dungeons, where they actually chase you or the paths are very narrow. The rate of respawning seems to vary a lot from dungeon to dungeon.
I also loved all the attention you got from the dogs as well!
