A game for MEN
was cancelled due to problematic themes
Shame they never did much with the engine, would love something like a construction set for it.
>>10866451
>>10866451I got my Big box set of the 2.
Anyone ever play Dark Sun Online? The ad for it that came with my AD&D collection looked intriguing.
>>10866467>problematic themeswhat was it?
>>10867246rape
>>10867263I played Dark Sun 1 & 2 (only finished DS 1) but I didn't remember any rapes in the games. On the other hand, it was 30 years ago so I didn't remember much. Or was it in the pnp?
>>10867270No, it isn't there either. He's just making things up, as one is wont to do.
>>10867263I will doubt it.Only reason games got cancelled back then was when they just made games for faggots with homosexuality,no other reason to cancel it over rape.>you got the perk child murderer.>you got the perk child rapist.>you got the perk serial rapist.
>>10867263Oh, you mean the 'thing' most women actually fantasise about and fetishize unironically?.
really like the graphical style, overhead jrpg but less chibi. can't think of many crpgs that did something like that.
>>10866467Faggots like you kept jerking it to the promo art.
>>10867246Slavery
>>10866451Western developers trying to make a hetereosexual game for hetereosexual men be like, yeah, even the chicks have bigger dicks than we do.
>>10866451I remember this ad, I can't remember what game it came with though, maybe something like Wings Over the Pacific or some Dynamix game.
>>10866451Anyone play the sequel?
>>10866451is this achievable natty?
was Strategic Simulations considered a good dev?
>>10868946It's true, I did. Mul daddies for days.
>>10867020I wanted to play it at the time, but my poor-ass family wasn't paying a monthly fee for any vidya. It's why I never got into Everquest, either.>>10869030I beat this years ago. It's fun but very, very buggy. You should keep multiple backup saves in case quest items disappear or NPCs don't let you continue the game. Also it has monsters like mind flayers that should not exist on Athas.
I got it for my friend on his birthday. He seemed to really enjoy but managed to soft lock his game by killing a bunch of cultists and then later needing their red robes for a quest (its been years, I don't remember it exactly)Setting sounds awesome, one of those fantasy series I keep meaning to check out.
>>10869478>but my poor-ass family wasn't paying a monthly fee for any vidyaIt just seemed absurd to most people at the time, to.
>>10870612? monthly fees weren't new
>>10869478>buggyBuggy as hell. I played the floppy disk version when it was new. Restarted many times because missing items or corrupted savegames. But I love it. They also changed weapons that cast spells on hit like El's Drinker. El's Drinker disappears if you use it a lot. I heard they give those weapons charges and when they run out of charges, the weapons disappear. It was unlimited in DS1.
>>10870693Kinda sucks, most of the fun I had in the first game was meleeing people with extra damage effects, since you could dual wield, it stacked.
>>10870748My favorite weapons in DS1 are El's Drinker (cast Vampiric Touch on hit) and Terror Blade (cast Poison on hit). There's a genie who offers you 3 wishes. One of the wishes he offers is duplicating an item, duplicating El's Drinker is a really good idea. Speaking about El's Drinker, I think I met this El character in DS2. He is evil and you must kill him. I never finish DS2 because of the bugs. I heard the CD version (possibly the GOG version too) is less buggy because they patched the game.
>>10870778> I heard the CD version (possibly the GOG version too) is less buggy because they patched the game.Can anyone confirm this?I'd defininitely give these games a shot if they aren't too buggy.
>>10871112The CD version number is 1.10, it was a patch made by SSI. I think GOG version is patched. But it's still a good idea to save often (multiple saves). Sometime I wish to replay DS series but the buggy DS2 made me consider to choose other games. I recently played Ravenloft series, also published by SSI.
>>10870620I didn't say it was "new".
>>10871225Or, you know, just play the first one. Wake of the Ravager doesn't just suck because it is buggy. It also sucks because it has terrible graphics, locations, story, aesthetic, voice acting, etc.
>>10870778how the fuck do you remember shit like that?
>>10872141NTA, but sometimes the vidya you play repeatedly as a kid can stick inside your brain forever. I know more about Final Fantasy Tactics on the PS1 than I know about my own family members.
>>10873320Fair point. I actually remember random shit from my childhood too. Sucks how your memory goes to shit when you become an adult, I can barely remember that I had for breakfast most days.
Moar liek gayme 4 pseudomaculine fanstasies>>10868778zoom zoom detected
>>10872141>>10873320(i'm not the same anon.) oh if you've played this game, you remember el's drinker.i came into this thread just to shitpost about el's drinker; to this day, it's my favorite item in any game, and getting 4 of them via the genie and then importing them to darksun2... that was the absolute greatest. and ,yes, there are less buggy versions, i can't say if it's GOG, but it's possible to beat the game. i had crashes when i was little when the games came out, finally beat it 15 years later.
random favorite darksun moments:- DS1: the subterranean heart puzzle spread across the maps.- DS1: the fact that you can end/"beat" the game just by attacking the villages and killing everyone.- DS1: how desolate and barrren and poor the cities were. holy shit.- DS1: random crap like the dude wandering that pattern in the dragon illustration map and you can follow him and get experience.- DS1: dagolar. seriously wtf is that dagolar side quests? it's super creepy.- DS1: randomly going to the slave pens late in the game just to punch people.- DS1: wandering the map and punching people after beating the game.- DS2: the mines. shit was creepy.- (overall DS2 breaks the atmosphere a bit and is less good. Why is there so much metal and greenery? dafuq.)- DS1+DS2: notaku selling you random shit.- DS1+DS2: having chatacters split like 10 classes and all be able to cast fireballs, ironskin, haste, etc.- DS1+DS2: psionic abilities are SO FUN.
>>10874887>- DS1: the fact that you can end/"beat" the game just by attacking the villages and killing everyone.What kind of "ending" did you get?
>>10866451Why don't they make a new Dark Sun game? It has a cool setting. An Elder Scrolls type game in the Dark Sun world would be amazing.
>>10875345Read OP's post. A game for MEN.Zoomers are not MANLY enough for Dark Sun.
>>10869247at the time they were successful and well reviewed. there were still some problems and some games that whiffed, but overall the were fan favorites for DnD nerds and strategy geeks.
>>10875345>Why don't they make a new Dark Sun game? Because Dark Sun is so heckin problematic!!! No fun allowed.https://www.wargamer.com/dnd/dark-sun-problematic
