Prince Ichi Sachie Whitby Prince Ichi Whats your favorite game series? aw ******** a tie between Elder Scrolls and Final Fantasy. I still use my mousepad that came packaged with The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall awwwww s**t son I played daggerfall with my uncle when i was a wee babbu, imps scared the ******** out of me. I recently acquisitioned it from the bethesda website. Imps still scare the ******** out of me. I like playing morrowind just to kill everyone and steal all their s**t, then hauling up in balmora in the one pawn-broker's house on the opposite wall from the mage's guild. (I killed her of course)
You're not missing much when it comes to Daggerfall.
It's probably still holds the title of most bug ridden game ever. |

Sara Hysaro Sachie Whitby Sara Hysaro I don't remember the camera moving in wild ways in Amnesia, but the game does get blurry when the character's sanity meter plummets. The game probably wouldn't give anybody motion sickness, but I can see it giving people headaches if they are prone to them. I could be wrong though, maybe the darkness of the environment makes it hard to focus on anything anyways. It is ironic that you say that because I do get migraine headaches from seizure graphics and strode lights. Oh wow, that is ironic. xD That's a shame though, migrane headaches are terrible. I dunno if Amnesia counts as seizure graphics, but if blurriness counts then I'd recommend staying away from it. That and Call of Cthulu, which has the same blur effect when you're looking at the abominations. I can even think of a webcomic that you should stay away from, one of recent flash videos had a pretty severe case of flashing lights that people in the forums were complaining about.
Usually I see auras before the onset of the actual migraine so if I see auras, I take my meds and rarely get the actual pain.
There's a Call of Cthulhu video game?
[I just remember a couple of old PC games.] |

Ah, well at least you have a way to tell when you need to take your meds. ^^
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is the one I'm talking about. It's probably one of the old PC games you're thinking of. smile It was released on the Xbox in October of 2005, and ported to the PC in March 2006. |

Huh, don't think I've heard of those ones. They seem pretty cool judging from the Wikipedia pages though.
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth follows the story of Detective Jack Walters starting from when he investigates an old manor inhabited by Yith cult members. One thing I find neat about it is how Jack takes damage. They actually show you which part of his body is injured, and you can patch it up using what you have in your medical kit. It takes a little while to fully recover too. You can also take a Morphine, but that makes Jack trip out which isn't good in situations where you need to see where you are going. xd He's also afraid of heights, so his vision gets a little blurry when he's up high. Annoying, but a neat detail.
Edit; Changed the drug name to actually be the thing I'm talking about. xd |

Oooh, I didn't know about that website. I'll have to bookmark it when I get my own computer. smile
Yeah, it costs $25 used off of Amazon for the PC version. Which I guess isn't that bad if you know you'll love the game, but for something iffy I'd rather wait for it to get cheaper or check it out on Youtube to make sure that I'll be happy spending money on a used copy. Unless of course Amazon has a return policy like Gamestop does. |

Huh? I didn't name a specific website. Abandonware is just a term for software that is no longer available for legal purchase and reached a point where the creator no longer supports it. |

... *regoogles Abandonware* Ah, I see. xd I was too hasty in my google assumptions. That makes sense. I guess it'd be good for games like Panzer Dragoon Saga, where the actual copies are in limited supply and the creators claim that it'd be a waste of time to go retrieve the code to make a remake or a version to download. |

That must have disappointed a lot of people looking forward to the collection. I know that I'd be a little upset if the one game I wanted to play out of a series wasn't included in a collection. I wonder why they left them out. |

The rumor I heard is that the company that owned the game didn't even have an archival copy of these two games anymore to the extent that they would have had to download them off of an abandonware site themselves had they wanted to included them. [Technically they could have done just that, but yea.] |

Huh, that rumor makes sense. Kinda along the same lines of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Personally if I was in charge I'd probably download the games off of abandonware and send an e-mail to the owner of the sites those games are on to take them down. I guess they didn't feel like bothering with that. |
