Hey, I'm new. I can hardly wait to engage in exciting and intellectual conversations with you fine fellows about electronic entertainment!......ok, I only joined to enter the Titans contest. Shameless, I know, but hey, FREE GAMES=me be shameless.
Well, I might start my own, but usually I feel more comfortable doing that with knowledge of other AoM/RPG likers here.....u see, my thread starters are looong posts.
*waits patiently for fellow AoM/RPG gamers* Do you play RPGs or AoM? There's gotta be some ppl around here....anyone know Baldur's gate II or Age of Empires II or.....=P
Same here Coaster...AOE I was my first RTS and I loved the aspects of exploration, combat, etc featured in it....
I have to thank one of my friends for introducing me to RTSes. Before then I played some puzzle/educational games (like Carmen Sandiego and Zoombinis, two pretty good game series mind =P).
So err.....when will reviews of AoM: The Titans/AoM and the rest of the Age series be up? I wouldn't mind a nice NWN review either....but I'd esp. love to see a new, fresh BGII review. Teeehee
i actually just installed bg2 on my pc fresh maybe 2 weeks ago because i had totally skipped that game. i was thinking about getting into it. but, isnt it like, 160 hours long or something?
It is long, but the atosphere is great, u can romance characters and do all sorts of things in BG2...nearly everything is polished and high quality, and it follows AD adn D rules, but it has a cool storyline and cool villain......very immersive. The best RPG ever in my opinion....better than most modern ones due to its replayability and challenging content. ^_^

Except the expansion kills the game and it seems like it wasn't even developed by the same people.
The portrait styles are different, the entire storyline seems to be in a different style,and it almost degenerates into a hack and slash style game.
If you value the BG series, you wont play the expansion for BG2, it will ruin it all.
I totally disagree, because even though the expansion wasn't as expansive as BG2 original (it's an expansion) it had cool enemies, a proper and suitable ending....as well as some great new spells and music. It has Bioware's fingerprints all over it. =)
Well, u really should try out other games.....there are LOTS out there which are better than hack and slash DS, which is basically like a 3D Diablo II with better graphics. -_-
I was also considering getting Neverwinter Nights, but once again, money's an issue. Mebbe for Christmas. BTW, what are the minimum requirements for said game?

Welcome to Icrontic Forums anyway
Drop in anytime
Good luck
Hopefully some people will start threads on AoM and all those other strategy games. I don't mind RPG either.
