Title: Richard Garriott goes to space!
Post by: Kitsunexus on September 30, 2007, 06:41:54 PM
I don't really like the Ultima series at all (they're too boring and Underworld just PISSES me off especially when I have to start off in the dark on my gamma-challenged monitor) nor do I like much space stuff but Richard Garriott is a nice guy with some good game design philosophies and a cool house plus a few of you here like his games so I thought I'd link this.

If that paragraph sounded kind of mean and rushed and run-on, it's because I'm getting a headache and I really am rushing this. Sorry. :(


Also, I did not know NCSoft was American. I thought they were Korean.

EDIT: Wow, I thought Richard Garriott was a game creator, turns out he's just a gamer. Oh and DNF comes out tomorrow.   :lol: I thought I would get a snapshot of Yahoo's dumbassery before they fixed it. It's a big screenshot (2.25MB according to XP), so here's a small version, click for the big version:

This is why I hate Yahoo. They never get ANYTHING RIGHT, and they report year-old shit as brand new news. Too bad I can't get the rest of my family to use Google, I guess it's not graphical enough.  :roll: Oh well, I have my own personal Firefox, so they can use their shitty IE6 with Yahoo without bothering me.

I loved Ultima Underworld! I played all the way through number 2, but I've never finished the first one.

The game is too damn big...but it's not just Ultima Underworld, it's also Arena. I REALLY want to play Daggerfall though, even though I heard it's buggy and the NPCs have shit interaction, it would be cool to do everything Morrowind does in DOOM graphics.

The badass boxart doesn't hurt either.

Unrelated to this topic, but related to my previous post, I found a working download of Daggerfall! Despite some bugs (which seem to be the Dosbox emulator itself) this game rules.

PM me if you want the link.
