Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Game systems

Andrew,
You're making me want to get this game even if I only end up running around in the wilderness or caves for a few hours. Is the audio really that good? Would you play it with an 8 y.o or is it too graphic/adult for kids?

I'm certainly not as far into it as many here so I'm still in the "Wow, look at that" part of the experience. I would definitely rank it somewhere in the top of the line for both video and audio. Good surround effects and some deep bass coming out of the subwoofer. The world is fantastic so far. You can spend a lot of time just panning around staring at the horizons.

It's tough for me to comment on the kids question. I'm not a parent and all parent's have their own level of comfort with these things.

Yes, you will be killing lots of monsters and lots of people. However, it is a lot less gory and less intense than many games, like say Call of Duty. It is not overly gory or graphic. It will cut to some slow motion kill scenes some times but a spray of blood is about the worst visual it will show.

So far, I haven't hit any foul language but I'm just barely into it. Nothing sexual so far either. Previous titles would have some spoken innuendos and you can strip a dead person down to their underwear if you steal all their armor & clothes as loot.

People deeper in can probably comment better than me.

I must be missing something.

What's the point?

Once the developer's tools get out there you will be able to download Bob's expansion pack.

Not without dinner and a couple of drinks first.

There has to be some middle ground.

What's that? Oh, now I remember! It's where the fun ISN'T!

LOL Bob. You reminded me of a bon fire party I was at ages ago. We're all drinking, playing guitar singing, chatting and just having a real good time when one of the over achievers in the group decides to try and organise a party game. Best line someone shouts is 'Organized is fun is no fun!' We carried on with no further interruptions from there.

Thank you, Dan. I always knew there was a good brain under all that fiberglass, kevlar and padding.

I think he takes the padding out.
