hi

didn'u know where else to post..i'm curious if anyone has any opinion on malfador's new roleplaying game.

i went to their site and the graphics look crappy but i was thinking maybe the gameplay will have some depth like SE4

I think it is supposed to be a nostalgia game, hence the crappy graphics.

Don't know if I'd call the graphics crappy... unfashionable maybe, (because they're not full 3D rendered blah blah blah) but I was never bothered about fashion anyway. I think they look just fine considering the genre and gameplay.

Define 'crappy' -- non-photorealistic?

I think the level of detail/realism of the graphics is not a big deal in a fantasy game. Anyway, it's apparently supposed to be in the 'rogue-like' genre, which includes NetHack, the ultimate ascii graphics game!

I actually dislike the 'graphical' mode in NetHack. I much prefer to play in ascii mode.

Nethack is cool.

Diablo is just graphical and dumbed down Nethack.

I've never heard of Nethack

What is it, besides a non-graphical, more intellectual Version of Diablo (which I've never played, either. What can I say, my gaming budget isn't very big.)
