Pre-ordered and pre-lodaded.

my name on steam friends is: jmaday307
I still carry my typical ingame name: jfmaday

Also getting together on TS under that "some other game" channel is a must also.

And BTW cartboy if you wait until after its released to get it, then you will pay more for it.

Just played it for a bit. Was fun. Did some single play mode first. Got the hang of it. Then had some fun online too. Was a little tough getting into a server. I am not sure how one would run if I started a server. I think it works from your pc someway. Anyways it was fun and I could see it being a blast with ten or 15 people on TS. I was on an 8 person server. Some weapons I found gave me a laugh. You can use a wallet bomb (like c4 with a detonator you trigger). The arm off a mannequin. :lol:

Pool cues, golf clubs.

Seemed to get some lag but not much. You get arrested a lot in the beginning. But don't carrier you weapon in hand and that shouldn't be much of a problem. You can pay off the guards. I dont see many people doing this. But it might be necessary if your target hangs around one so you get arrested before you can kill them.

My in game name is Bullet Tooth Tony.

I have bought it but not installed yet, no time this week. Do you think this game has some staying power (is it here to stay)?

by **[ecgn] btt** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 3:51 pm

I think so. From what I see. It is fun to run around the ship looking for weapons and your target. But it seems to be deeper then that. You have sim like things you must keep up. Like showering, eating, entertainment etc etc... I think there are 8 or 9 things in total. I die to much to really bother with this right now. I see them coming into play down the road when I stay alive more. The other thing is an inventory. While looking for weapons you find books, wardrobes, Hats etc etc. You can use this to change you appearance. Making it harder for the person to hunting you to find you. I haven't done this much. Still busy looking for weapons. It does seem certain places on maps have weapons in them any time you look. Learning these places is a must. The weapons you find there are random but you always get weapons. I think once the maps are learned and the weapon places. The other aspects will come into play. Like changing your look to avoid death, paying off guards so you can kill in front of them. Taking care of your needs.

With all that said. There are 32 unlocked servers with people on them right now. Is that good or bad. *shrugs*

33

Look for a server called "ECGN Dedicated Public Server"

Yeah I got it too, it's kind of fun in single player mode, but so far not so good for long term appeal. It locked up when I tried to join multiplayer, so haven't tried that yet.
The bots seem pretty dumb...

Hey BTT.. how are the graphics? Are they as good as the screenshots we have been seeing? Do you get a sense you are really on a huge cruise ship? Are there areas of the ship you don't have access to that would limit your exploration?

by **Chacal** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 8:21 am

I've been on a ship with 6 decks including the enginerooms.

can you kill people not on your hit list? Like Chacal if you see him?

by **Buliwyf** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:26 am
