    Rant:

    TROIKA YOU SUCK
    YES THATS RIGHT YOU *BLEEP*IN SUCK
    YOU PROMISED AN AWESOME GAME HERE, A GREAT FULLY MODULAR MP MODE, COMBAT SYSTEM TO BEST FALLOUT, WELL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN YOU *BLEEP*IN *BLEEP*HOLES

    THE MP MODE SUCKS, IT OUTRIGHT SUCKS, THIS IS THE LAGGIEST GAME EVER! TWO *BLEEP*IN PEOPLE CANT EVEN PLAY TOGETHER THE LAG IS TOO *BLEEP*IN HIGH.

    AND THEN THE COMBAT IN TURN BASED IT *BLEEP*IN SUCKS IF YOU TRY TO TAKE AN ORE GOLEM ON WITH A GUN IN TB HE'LL SMACK YOU DOWN HARD, BUT IF YOU *BLEEP*IN DO IT IN REAL TIME YOU CAN *BLEEP*IN BEAT HIM BEFORE HE GETS ANY *BLEEP*IN WHERE NEAR YOU. THATS STUPID

    THE TECH IS WAY TOO UNDERPOWERED, IT TAKES TOO MANY CHARACTER POINTS TO GET ANYWHERE GOOD WITH TECHNOLOGY

    MAGIC IS WAY TOO OVERPOWERED AND TRUST ME IT WORKS ON TECHIES JUST FINE ESPECIALLY HARM WITH 100 MAJICAL APTITUDE

    THIS GAME HAD MONTHS OF "OPTIMIZING" TIME YET ITS CRAP SCREW IT

    hmm, I wish it looked and smelled graphically and engine wise as Fallout: Tactics. Now that would be cool

    Yeah thats another good point, the artwork, FOT's engine was totally new, and yet its artwork was spetacular

    They made their engine alot faster than the arcanum did

    and I also think they made too little music, or it's too much thesame all the time. It now makes a hole in my head. Only really like the Quintarra.
    And Fallout on the other hand had the best music in all time (My opinion)

    yeah I agree to the Cnc series. I was amazed first when I played the game. (seemed like the soldiers were marching to it) but Atmosphere wise the best was in fallout.
    but that doesn't change the fact that the arcanum is drilling a hole through my head

    I also feel sorry for those that have 21 inch monitors, must look ugly since it's only 800*600.

    I lol on those who say pc games rule, since most of them have an isational amount of bugs to leave you pondering: "Did they leave that on purpose to make me mad?"
    Some games really really suck.
    Like Alone in the Dark 4 that was my biggest dissapointment this year!

    I don't know, there were some really crappy looking sprites in Fallout Tactics. Here's a few:

    Any excuse to bitch about FOT eh, Saint?

    Jureel and Jinxed I agree with a lot of your points there, but you are taking it to extremes. I haven't played the MP yet so I can't comment on that, but yes there are some definite balance issues with tech characters and gunslingers. In an ideal world though, there wouldn't be a real time mode, so the combat balance would've been much tighter. And for that little "innovation" I'd point the finger at Sierra/Vivendi rather than Troika. Goddamn market trends.

    Yup, Gareth is right about the market trends. I've heard from several people that Arcanum wasn't supposed to have multiplayer, but it's something that the publisher demanded. It wouldn't shock me if the real time combat wasn't a demand also, or at least a consequence of the multiplayer demand.

    Does that explain the massive amount of shitty bugs that flow from the monitor smacking my face silly?

    good point bout the publisher sp

    and as for arcanum not having it, I doubt I would've bought arcanum if it didn't have it. But the mp does suck, it needs a tb option at least
