Re: Guess the game
I'm back from my holidays. More game guessing from me soon.
I just want to say a big Thank You to Saumun for compiling that list: it's fantastic!

Correct! I loved it too - a very addictive game, and a hard-fought battle was always satisfying.

Re: Guess the game
Hmm, I'm gonna guess that Saumun's is, erm... ? The only game I've played in that series was so I can tell it's not that but it looks similar in some ways. Don't recognise Jan's but based on a clip I saw on the Yogscast once I'll guess it's , even though I have no idea what that game is even about. Actually I think it might be a series of games - I'm not even sure of that .

Re: Guess the game
Okay, I'll guess that Saumun's is the one preceding the one that I guessed then . I just know it can't be the latest one because the HUD stuff is different.
Mine was - both my screenshots featured the protagonist (well, technically deuteragonist as there are two main characters, but this is the one the game's named after) so if you don't recognise him then you're probably not gonna guess what game he's from .

Since Saumum said specific title, rather than specific number, maybe it is not just another number in the series. What about ? Is that a thing?

Re: Guess the game
Ahh, I thought games like were more like expansion packs or something for the previous games, having never been interested in the series at all until I saw various Yogcast members messing around in the latest version and thinking it looked pretty fun .

Wow! Coincidence. I had never saw or even heard of this until last night. It was on Dara O'Briain's TV show.

On the previous subject of GTA... was originally meant to be sort of an extension of , but ended up bigger and better. Then even more so. I think of the 'stories' games as expansions. Depends on your point of view i suppose.

Re: Guess the game
Yep, Saumun is right on mine . I've been watching Dara O'Briain's show too, but that's not entirely why I picked that game. Seeing it on the telly last week sort of put it in mind, but I've played it quite a lot before and I find it really fun so I know it very well anyway .
OB - If the ]spoiler]"Oddysee[/spoiler] part sounded familiar, perhaps you've heard of the other games in that series, the series. The protagonist of the first two games (at least one of which I'm sure I've already posted on here somewhere ) is the second playable character in the one I just posted.
I have no idea on Saumun's latest pic. As for OBs, I've played quite a lot of ARPGs by now but that particular one would appear to be one that's passed me by thus far, so I'm interested to find out which one it is so I can go and look it up if it's one I haven't heard of .

No... but robots are involved, so i can see where you're coming from. I sort of wish i'd posted because it was hyped so much, but turned out to be terrible.

Re: Guess the game
Turn-based combat in an ARPG? How would that even work? Urgh, or is it like in the Final Fantasy games (well, the couple I've played) where you get forced into another screen to have a fight and then back to the map again when you're done? I've played that game's predecessor, which was more of a straight RPG (the view was a chase-cam style) and very fun...

Re: Guess the game
That's why I wouldn't call it an ARPG, just an old school RPG
But thankfully combat does not involve transferring to a different screen. It is more like X-Com if you have ever played that (or indeed a tabletop RPG). It is standard real time until you meet enemies, at which point it pauses. The characters in your party have initiative and action points, as do the enemies. Highest initiative acts first, and when that person has used all of their action points it moves on to the next in the list. It makes it very strategic and tense at times. I'm not sure I would want all RPGs to work in that way, but I found it enjoyable here.
