Title: Dungeons and Dragons Arcade...
Post by: CanRay on <04-13-13/1925:30>
This is some good news here! (http://youtu.be/nQQ3zq4x4Kw)

As this is likely the closest I'll be able to RP with folks here, what platform should I get this on?

Steam/PC.  Assuming that's an option.  :)

Man, I remember playing the Tower of Doom game in the arcade like 20 years ago.  Wow.  Very cool.

It makes me sad that you'd see this as your only way to RP with us.  Feel free to start up an online game for Saturday nights, and I'll join your group.

Ok, so I'll be getting TWO games in June with this one joining up with SR:R. I'll be getting it on XBox (tag: SunrisenKnight). And yeah, Bull, it'll be out for PC as well.

I can't RP online.  I don't know why.

An arcade game with voice chat would be awesome.  I pick the Dwarf.

Have to see about getting a controller for my PC.

Wii U, Steam, XBLA and PSN are the release platforms.

Have to see about getting a controller for my PC.

Any particular one you're interested in?

I was figuring a wired X-Box 360 Controller so I can use it on my PC and my X-Box.  Get the PC and the X-Box versions of the game, and have a variety of options of playing it with folks.

I'm willing to bet the game will have in-house multiplayer as well as online co-op.  At least, I'd damned well hope so!

I use a USB wired XBox controller for my PC.  Love it, wish more games used it. :)

There's a couple programs out there if you want to make games that don't directly support it work - I've heard good things about XPadder, for example.

What game now doesn't support it? Every game I've seen for years has native support for the Xbox controller, including the graphics in-game for the buttons.

It's out now.  Who is getting it?  What systems?

I'm going to get it for PC right now, myself.

Makes me wonder what happened to people playing with keyboards...

Not with these old hands.  Since I wrecked my arm my ability to work with a keyboard has gone to hell.

Sorry about that. I just meant that in our generation, it was rare for people preferring game controler over keyboard.
I used to have a console, but for most pc games I could not use anything else than kb...

I prefer using a controller, but they're unfortunately worse on games that require fine accuracy.  Keyboard and mouse is always the last option for me, but I do it if it's necessary.

I remember playing the X-wing and TIE Fighter games with the joystick where the keyboard usually was, and the keyboard off to the side, doing the throttle, weapon select, and other things one handed as I continued to fly. Wish they still made flight sim games that were worth a damn.

This.

I did the same thing with an old BattleTech game on the Kesmai network, BattleTech Online: Solaris. Except I had to use a mouse since it was a university computer I logged on from. Right hand mouse, left hand number pad and function keys.

I've heard/read small hints that one of the things that the Disney/EA partnership is working on for Star Wars games is a new X-Wing (which was also, incidentally, my very first PC game). I hope it doesn't suck.  8)

Got it for the PC and am as bad as I remember. I spent a fortune on quarters in these two games. Definitely need a controller the keyboard controls are driving me nuts.

Why play this when Neverwinter Online was released this week?  D&D, MMO, free...

D&D Arcade vs. D&D MMO. Both D&D, aside from that rather different games.
Title: Re: Dungeons and Dragons Arcade...
Post by: Bull on <06-22-13/2117:17>
I like and play Neverwinter Online, but...  yeah.  Two very different game experiences.

That's like asking why play Shadowrun tabletop if there's the Shadowrun X-Box game available. :)

I'm probabaly going to pick this up myself soon.

As someone who played the ORIGINAL nwn (1 and 2, plus all the expansions) for the PC and is used to the the unlimited character options that SHOULD be part of a good D&D experience, I can not play the nwn mmo and it's steel walled cookie cutter classes.

Just picked the arcade game up on steam. Will play it later today.  Nothing like a bit of brainless hack n slash

To be honest, I had it.  And even like dit for what it was.  I wasn't Shadowrun, but it was an interesting take on the Counterstrike-style of game.

And if/when I get the D&D game, it'll be Steam PC, since my XBox has been a paperweight for over a year now.

Sweet!  Let me know when you get it, Bull.  We can have a D&D game sometime!  ;D
Title: Re: Dungeons and Dragons Arcade...
Post by: mtfeeney = Baron on <06-23-13/0056:15>
No, come play Neverwinter Online with me, instead!  I'm up a level 9 cleric at the moment, having a blast doing foundry quests.  I've barely even touched the actual storyline quests.

I'll likely be picking it up soon, but not sure if Xbox or PC.
