Bay 12 Games Forum

Oh, never mind what I said about trouble progressing earlier, I just beat the game. Currently sitting on a 2 billion cash pile. I got really close to going bankrupt but managed to pull back impressively, earning over 10 million dollars on one last second game, and then just continuing from there.

Currently on year 60, 30 years after the story ended. My console, the Grand Orca, has about the same market share as the Wuu, and my alien/action MMO is earning me millions.

I like this game. Screw you, GDS, and your portable ways.

I personally like Tycoon more than Story, if only because it allows you to make your own console. I'm still waiting for a proper electronic hardware manufacturing simulator, so this is as close as I can get.

Anyways, I'm having a bit of trouble progressing. The garage is easymode, I usually manage to get to the first office with a million or two, but after that it just goes downhill. The farthest I've gotten was the release of the DreamVast, around that point I just can't seem to earn more money than I spend.

Koo.

Just wondering if anyone is still playing this? Lots of people from here got banned for some reason, so I'm guessing no, but I've been playing it a little and figured I'd ask. The old GS is still intact, none of the files have been deleted or anything.

You monster, children should be saved before the adults. Triage shouldn't apply for bebbys.

Whoever got through that section without any help or guide has my respect, it would take some real mettle to dash through that thing blindly.

Seriously? That's, like, the easiest part of Sen's in my opinion.

Well, I suppose it depends on your build somewhat. I found all the combat sections exceptionally easy as a mage, killing the serpents before they even became a threat which just left some easy traps to waltz through. By comparison the fire bombs were instant death on an uphill battle with no visible enemy to kill/evade.

There are combat parts in Sen's Fortress?

It's true that the idea of the head being unarmored is stupid, that kinda goes under "unrealistic", just like females warriors wearing basically nothing. The main point is that it looks good, and taste is relative. I personally think huge armor with stupidly large shoulder pads looks cool. It wouldn't fit Skyrim's otherwise realistic universe at all, but in any other game I would have no problem with it.

But I dont see why orcs having that personality implies they should have such ridiculously oversized muscles. Its not like they are "fairly" muscular either. They are ridiculously muscular. Ontop of that, from a personal POV, I do not like that personality and thus don't like orcs.

I dont expect anything to mimic the real world. I can deal with exaggeration to an extent. I don't think the gears of war image looks too bad for example. But that first image looks just outright silly to me. As in "clowns packed into a small car" silly. No one is strong enough to wear the armor in the first image, not even close. just think how thick the metal would be between the armor and the person and how much that would weigh. Not to forget that his arms and legs would have to be substantially longer.

It probably comes back to me prefering character aesthetics that are less brutish and more... "weak" (or at least, not a super-ripped enemy-mass-murdering machine).

Its all my opinion though. I understand that people like the aesthetic and thats fine. Its just really not for me.

Well, it is fantasy after all. In a world where magic is commonplace I wouldn't be surprised to see people strong enough to wear armor like that. If someone's whole life is about fighting and training then surely it would have some effect.

Getting knocked off isn't the problem, the attacks don't have knockback. It's the health attrition. That lightning hurts and it makes you rush and do stupid things like walk into guillotine blades. And then you get knocked off.

The serpent people's attacks do have knockback, it's pretty minor though. It's only a problem on the really thin ledges, and when you're very close to the guillotines.

There's a serpent throwing electricity at the last catwalk, and I'm pretty sure you need to kill it with ranged attacks. Sometimes you can just ignore it, but I've been blasted off a couple of times.
