Savage?

Nurot · February 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">Um ...ok</div> I recently acquired savage and upgraded immediately and went to 2.0c. Am I the only one who heard great things about Savage but was just a tad bit disappointed when they finally got to play? The game is alright I suppose and It'll provide some downtime but it still can't even touch ns and I expected a lot more. It like warcraft 3 with a lot less options and 3rd person view.

It's another fps/rts hybirds that contains rpg elements. It is not a bad game, but it just cant compare to the gameplay found it ns.

Mostly because the similarity ends at FPS/RTS hybrid.

Its weakness and strength are in the fact you can have 10 NPC builders.

I hear completely dift from the guys playing SaVage vs. HL. They say it is unbelieveable and easily the best and most addictive game ever.

www.s2games.com for the person that asked where it is.

Ithink one of the probs is it hasa real steep learning curve, and unless you are willing to suffer through it, it may not"take".

Hence the reason the community is trying real hard to help noobs through noob nights and lots of info on forums to help.

let me know what you think is missing, maybe I can shed some light.

normally bumping isn't that appreciated... but when there's another savage thread 5 lines down you wonder <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

Oh and I tried the Savage demo. Wasn't that much impressed tbh, especially with the fact I couldnt use items on my wonderful french keyboard (and no way to edit it up)

It's a very different game from NS. I think the biggest difference in the setting; making a game all outdoors instead of all indoors makes a huge difference in gameplay. I didn't like it all that much, but that's just me.

Most of the currently annoying/lame problems in Savage will be quelled by patching again. They patch frequently and are usually adding new content. Bear with it.

Only thing I liked when playing the demo(since I ALWAYS ran out of virtual memory or something) was getting a ballista. Even then, I got stuck on one of the NPC monsters and couldnt do jack about it, as the ostrich thing pecked me to death. That turned me off.

Does it have voicecomm yet?

Swilt · May 2004

Allot of the clans are using teamspeak and enjoy it immensley.

I can certainly see how it would add to the game and enhance the teamplay aspect for sure.

One of the challenges of Savage of course is that people that join and try a few times do not understand the teamplay aspect and are not very successful as a result. I does have an extremely steep learning curve, but the addiction quotient for those that stick with it for a bit is off the charts. Allot of the Alpha guys are still there and players that leave tend to come back after they get quickly bored of the other standard games.

give it another try and try to learn what you can do to help the team, that enhances the addiction and enjoyment enormously. Give it a week or two on the demo and then you will see what I mean.

Narfwak · May 2004

I'll take that as a "no, it doesn't have voice com." Pubs do not have teamspeak servers.

Also, as far as this "OLL UR A BUNCH OF NUB THAT DONT UNDRSTAND THE GAEM" stuff goes, you're preaching to the choir. Everyone that plays NS already understands the difficulties of teaching FPS/RTS game elements to new players. Stop treating us like we're inferior fools and recognize that some people don't like your game for other, simpler reasons.

Swilt · May 2004

I didn't think I was doing that, so I apologize if I gave that impression.

And yes there are teamspeak servers.

And it still rocks.....you would not believe how dedicated the community is as well. Very refreshing. Post a question, get an answer almost immediately and some very good answers. Lots of helpful people there.

I tried the demo. The main thing that sets it apart from NS aside from the outdoor/indoor thing is that it's much less intense than NS. This is actually a good thing, as it's possible to have fun and sometimes even win when you have a few idiots on your team, as long as your commander isn't an idiot.

Swilt · July 2004

Yeah, It just won top 5 games by PC mag in June.

Awesome Mods coming out too.

Once again... stop bumping old threads.

Edit: Sorry just had to put this (found it in the threadomancy thread)
