Yeah. Her fighting is pretty brutale and she looks totally sexy while doing it :D

... which reminds me... should gog not have that game by now? (Its F.A.K.K. 2 btw ;) ).

On the one hand, most of us do not like the title with good reason. Even grammatically it does not make sense: two adjectives, no name.

On the other hand, the game focuses on killings. The name and the art suggest something mildly devious (spicy but not a full terror game). Maybe the makers of the game do not want it to be mistaken for a family game (à la Ghost Master). Besides, the title is original and fits an original premise.

I agree! I've voted for Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 on GOG like ages ago. Bring it on!

I looked around and found a sort of preview for this on a German website (sadly, not quite spoiler-free, but I'll try to forget the relevant bits ASAP), and they seem to have found a rather good way around this...
From what this guy claims there, one day only lasts 9 minutes, and can be fast forwarded at any time to any given time (morning, noon, afternoon). It sounded to me like there's no need to save every single person every time in order to progress - you only need to acquire their masks (to get special abilities) and to use those masks, the person in question needs to be alive.
Well, we'll just have to wait and see - but I'm intrigued, it sounds like it could be a lot of fun :)

Edit: Ok, further research revealed that there is, apparently, a certain order victims have to be rescued in sometimes. It does sound like the actual puzzle/difficulty is more about finding out who killed who and how, rather than the prevention of said murder.

looked nice, something like the old who killed/murdered .....
but in a very modern way developed, thus : 3d and full rotating, and vectorlike animations of people ( i always favored the old classic bitmap liked which would be blocky but looked more like real humans)

So i clicked and watched some videos, to bad its to modern for me, and even if i would like it and be able to play it the min req are also quite heavvy:

for the ones interested: min req. I know Cluedo (had it on cd) and many 'clones' ( which wont work of course thanks to mickeysoft) and usually i buy them because they were isometric, today everything has to be full 3d and rotating (and zooming ofcourse) must be possible from all angles ( causes motion/seasickness) so although i like the game idea, the way the game is developed with all its3d stuff is much less for me.

Tons of 3d releasing is okay cause its hot and sells like crazy, but always make sure there will be games developed for the people who cant play these type of games, i wonder what they used, i assume the easy way is unity (which will give fps issues ( google for it) even on very big machines, i read some posts on steam that users with a very strong pc still had issues with lots of unity build games.

Anyway i will keep my eyes open for more simple AGS created games like wadjet eye makes, i own all the games so i hope they release some more games soon.

Yes, I backed it, and am also in it. I'm supposed to be a gardener, if all it went to plan. :)

It's a good game, I've played the beta. You have to be strategic about who you follow and where you are at different times, so that you can piece things together and influence actions. It plays not unlike a game version of the TV series Day Break, which I enjoyed.

EDIT: Not sure if it's coming to GOG, but in a just world it should.

Oh, I haven't noticed that... That's not fair, I've got GT650M :-( I'll have to wait and see what people say about graphics on slower cards after release. Sigh :-(

It looks cute, but the writing... Ophelia talking like a modern teenager would just throw me out of being immersed in the game.

Cheers for the chuckle!

And thanks for the info, I like the strategic aspect. What about the point CelticHound raised?


I didn't look at the game that closely yesterday, but I can see this breaking immersion, if true.

I didn't notice it being particularly jarring when I played. I've seen so many variants on Shakespeare though I just about anything works for me if done properly. :)

I find it really funny given the majority of opinions here (my own included) that the website of a major polish gaming magaizne posted news about this game saying that it looks very bad, but has an awesome title :D

I can understand that, but I got the impression that it's not really a modern take on Shakespeare, hence why I can also understand CelticHound's comment. I guess I'll keep a bit of an eye on t he game; thanks.

Just because sth is printed on paper doesn't make it true :)

It's not a straight adaptation, though the setting is period. The characters have had certain aspects tweaked, and some characters from other plays are supposed to make an appearance as well.

Have you seen the play (or the film adaptation of) Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead? There is some of that same kind of disjointed "period vs modern" element happening.

Aha! Thanks a lot about this last bit, now I have a better idea about the game, and what to expect.
