Title: DIRECT HIT !! Ring of Red.
Post by: kirath on March 13, 2001, 08:40:52 AM
Damn a direct hit...  Nice...  This article says its the best strategy on any system.  Now this is what I like to see...

Dialy Radar
"To say that the strategy genre on the PlayStation2 is lacking would be a serious understatement. There\'s only Kessen out there. Ring of Red, Konami\'s first PS2 strategy title, doesn\'t just fill the void nicely -- it also provides the best strategy gaming experience on any console. Featuring a strong, well-written storyline, beautiful graphics and far more interaction than you\'d expect, Ring of Red has nary a fault to speak of, and the level of polish and presentation is simply top-notch. If there is one glaring problem, it\'s that casual players may be turned off by the game\'s steep learning curve and complicated nature. "

i like games with steep learning curves, it gives the game a much better feel, cause you have to interact more than in a usual game, and it makes you think as well, wich i s what i love.

I agree 100% with you.  When the game takes a lot longer to learn it makes it so much more involved.  There are many games that I spent hours learning the controls, were great games, that I did not beat.  But the game was great and a lot more rewarding because it was so much more involved..  Even though I did not beat it.  

People seem so concerened with beating a game instead of just playing it...  Thats why there are so many cheaters out there and why games are a lot shorter now.  People need to take there ritalin ona more regular basis so the people like us with attention spans can get some more longer games.. :D

Im sorry to tell this, but today I got the biggest Gamemagazine in Sweden with a complete rewiew of this game.

Graphics: 6
I little to weak, but sometimes atmospheric.

Sound:6
Weak soundeffects and some themes are repeting to much.

Control:6
The control is "new" but way to boring

Other:6
Weak story and bad characters. It takes a lot of a person to want to continiue.

Overall:6
A strategy game that is already passe.

To mention Oni scored overall 7
Title: If they
Post by: kirath on March 13, 2001, 11:20:35 AM
If they gave Oni a 7 and this a 6 that and its from Sweeden elimnates all of my confidence in them..

Oni = 7... no I don\'t maybe a 2...  And every other source I have read is giving this rave reviews.  I guess I will just have to buy it like everthing else to get a good idea...

peace :eyemouth:

Sweden also has the highest suicide rate in the world... I think they are simply too depressed to enjoy the game; or they are just upset that there wasn\'t a SURRENDER option right from the start.

7 for Oni? Marijuana is legal over there... right?

1) Sweden doesn\'t have the highest suicide rate (http://www.who.int/mental_health/Topic_Suicide/suicide_rates.html)

2) Marijuana isn\'t legal in Sweden. :)

1) must be the latter then...

2) they must drive to Copenhagen and do alot of hash

3) do the [sarcasm] tags work yet?

3) Yeah, that\'s why I used a :)

2) Ehem... Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark. While I\'m sure there\'s quite a lot of hash there, I think they would have more luck in Holland (Amsterdam perhaps :)).

heh, sorry for my disinformation then. All my knowledge about your region has come from somewhat "hazy" memories of what a good friend from Denmark has told me... of course that was about 9 years ago and bottle in-hand.

As for the original reason behind this post... I am sitting here waiting for RoR to be delivered to my door today as you read this... they never seem to get here fast enough.

Considering the similarities between this game and Front Mission III, I consider it a no-brainer to pick it up. And every review I\'ve read on it has given it a big thumbs-up. I cannot wait to try it out. It\'s been way too long since I\'ve played a decent strategy game.

definitely

but it may be a few days

A few guys at IGN have posted there thoughts

most are very positive

a few naysayers, but I\'m betting they just don\'t like this type of game. Those who do love it
Title: So yeah

My GF walked in the house on Friday and handed me this game.  That rocked, it was complelty out of the blue.  I did not expect that at all.  But I went away last weekend to Vermont and did not get a chance to play it untill Monday Night...  3/19/01.

I Will say that this game is not for everyone..  Its not a shoot em up, slash em up, run through the game type deal.  Its strategy and some hand and eye corridination.  But the graphics rock.  The back drops are awesome, the music is inspiring..  

Anyone who is into mechs and strategy type games I highly recommend this one.  I can already see myself playing this game more then any other one that I got right now...  

Ddaryl...Did you get this yet and what are your thoughts on it..?????
