It's pretty cool.

The intro trailer from awhile ago was pretty hilarious.   Big demon shows up and f*cks the dude up.


I got banned though.  I think they found out I was round-eye.

Have you played Labyrinth of Lost Souls for PS3?  Shit's awesome.

and theres Dark Spire for DS, which might as well be Wizardry

I don't have a PS3, but if I start seeing more Wizardry like games for it I may just pick one up for that purpose. :) Its starting to sound like 2013 isn't such a bust after all.

Yeah I just saw that.  I hadn't paid much mind to it after getting banned.  Guess they banned my email from getting newsletter updates too -_-


lol

I will be trying the Round Eye open beta tonight!

Screw FFXIV's closed alpha.  Wizardrryryyrryjaorijrdoijdroi



The PS3 game has been out for awhile btw, its digital download.  15 monies.

Played a little bit of it this morning, it reminds me of a harder version of FFXI at least the interface does. Permadeath included. Might play some more after I mess about some more with HUC...

I picked a mage.  Slow start, but I like it.   I've only played a bit as I was finishing up Inferno for that MSX contest.   I am level 3.5.  I get slaughtered in the sewers by some assclown NPC alot.

All this talk of PS2 and PS3 amuses me. I still have my original 5.25 floppy copy for PC and my C64 TAPE version of the game.

Wizardry is so damn cool...awesome game.

Yeah.  It's a great series.  Too bad round-eye gamers hate it now and cry so much that they only gave us a digital release of the latest game.

I was into the first Wizardry for NES, I had even bought that SirTech Guidebook for it (it had really great artwork - I regretted later selling it and the game to a game trading store though). I dunno how many hours I put into that game, but I might've gone over 100 I'd say! First I rented it and managed to beat it, but I got hooked enough to where I bought it down the road and went through it again with different character combinations, etc. I went on to buy Wizardry 5 for SNES, but man, I hated that shit and that pretty much ended my interest in series... Anyway, you gotta respect it for being a major influence on early console RPGs and I think in general. Hm, after googling, I just learned that Sir-Tech closed in 2001, eh ?
