Re: Magicka
Interesting, and Paradox are good, but i'll have to see the mechanics before buying. I'm all good with co-op but with RPG's it can be problematic.

Re: Magicka
It's not an rpg at all I think, more like Diablo (and probably much less complex) than anything else.

Re: Magicka
This is promising: Spell Check: 5 Mistakes To Avoid In Magicka http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/01 ... more-48603 | | | | Quote: #2: My Protector What is technically possible: Using shield elements with the “area of effect” casting button creates a glittering, impenetrable dome, with plenty of room for the whole team. Need some time to heal? Not sure what to do next? Swamped by goblins? Just throw up a shield and huddle together to discuss your next move.
What you will do: Yell something vague over teamspeak like “GUYS, ME, BUBBLE,” and cast your shield spell with none of your team-mates actually inside it. With no small amount of horror you’ll realise that you did manage to trap a couple of goblins inside with you, though, meaning you need to get out now. Your mind races- what breaks a shield? What’s the most powerful spell you have? Of course! The arcane beam! You charge a real murder-mother of a beam as the goblins bear down on you, release it and… remember that arcane and shield are opposed elements. The beam ricochets cleanly off the inside of your dome, bounces four or five times and finally collides with you, popping your flesh and mind open like a bag of crisps. In time the dome sputters and fades of its own accord, and the two goblins within join the mob attacking your friends. | | | | |

Re: Magicka
don't worry man, it'll be over before you realize it. Maybe. Assuming the world doesn't devolve into massive civil war.

Re: Magicka

Re: Magicka
I played the demo like J, and it's pretty cool. There are some issues with the controls you need to 'get' first, but once you're rolling they become pretty smooth. Most importantly, the game doesn't pretend to be serious in any way, funny as shit sometimes. It's maybe a good thing we haven't tried the MP yet, since there appear to be massive problems with it. Many people couldn't even connect (!) to each other to play a game...they released a 500 MB patch on the first day after release. So yeah, if we do get around to magicka (which I hope we will!), we're best off waiting for a sale and a month or two until most pressing issues are ironed out. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/01 ... h-already/

Re: Magicka
Haha, yeah ok, but 10 € for a bugfest isn't worth it. I'll definitely organize a party on here once the bugs have been tackled (and perhaps a sale is on ) because it does look awesome.

Re: Magicka
yea, let me know. I have no clue what the bug squashing status is. If and when they fix it, I'm game.

Re: Magicka
I do have a friend who has been playing this game and he says he really enjoys it. I have been encouraged to get it and play co-op. Always a good thing.

Re: Magicka
Awesome. So that's already one person we'll probably have aboard!
