[blacktick]

I was under the impression that Planet Alcatraz is the original Dungeon Cleaner and who knows how long we have to wait until the sequel is translated.

Nonetheless,I'm hyped about this..will be interested to see if it's as good as the reviews said it was BACK IN 2007!!!!

[clipthat]

Oh its the first one....surprised they haven't said more about this on any of the game websites..no advertising anywhere? anyway hope its released in 4 days!

[persoiranian]

hope the game has enough sandbox features , not a linear mission after mission.....

[blacktick]

Don't worry, I'm sure this is a great game. At least the reviews were great when it arrived in Russia.
There rarely are much advertisement for these games...sad,but true. I'm just glad they get an english release so I might also give them a try. :)
Hope to see this on GG. Also Star wolves 3 along with a farewell to dragons better be on schedule for late october!!! :D

Don't worry, I'm sure this is a great game. At least the reviews were great when it arrived in Russia.

when it arrived in russia? 2007? or perhaps this is a new one?:confused:

however, i will GRAB the game ;)

check this also. according to reborn.ru there is no multi player and the release date is 2009....

[blacktick]

Of course it says 2009 on that site since it's with the new name.
The original russian release is known as "Dungeon Cleaners":

http://www.ag.ru/games/dungeon_cleaners

Ag.ru gave it 80/100 which I consider good coming from them. :D
Oh and it says nov 2006 there,but I think it was 2007....oh well. :)

[Divebomb]

the translated version is supposed to be up on gamersgate tomorrow!

http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-PLAAL/planet-alcatraz

:o

[blacktick]

Ha,good to know it wasn't delayed. :D
Instant buy for me!

Hopefully A farewell to dragons,star wolves 3 and King's bounty expansion are still available on oct 30th. :)

[persoiranian]

good to hear that.....

[clipthat]

Thanks for that link I will buying it first thing tomorrow!
Just wish there was more hype around this....

[Divebomb]

it's just up now along with all the other 1c games they added for pre-order on there today (death to spies moment of truth, xiii century blood of europe, xiii century gold, cannon strike).

damn I really want to check out cannon strike also. but I'm noooooot as sure about it as I usually am with most 1C releases. it looks great in the trailer, but a demo would be nice.

got planet alcatraz downloading anyway. :)

[Divebomb]

Ha,good to know it wasn't delayed. :D

Hopefully A farewell to dragons,star wolves 3 and King's bounty expansion are still available on oct 30th. :)
oh yeah, hope so. what a crazy month for 1c titles. the first men of war expansion is supposed to be then aswell. really interested in a farewell to dragons and star wolves 3.. king's bounty armored princess and men of war red tide are must-buys but they're a known quantity really. I love this more unknown stuff.

gm rally was supposed to be 9th october aswell. not seen anything of that. it looks sort of ok in the media released, but who knows. it's by xbow so should be good.

[blacktick]

Damn work...
Otherwise I'd play planet alcatraz straight away. :D

Ya,puzzles me that 1C releases all games at the same day and with very minimal marketing,but I browse this forum and GG daily so that I won't miss anything so it's no biggie for me.

I tried the russian version of "a farewell to dragons" and it seemed good enough for a party based rpg,but since I didn't understand anything I can't say how good it really was/is.
Star wolves 3 I'm hyped for. Played both star wolves and loved em to bits. :D
King's Bounty goes without saying. :)
The other games I'll try out of curiosity.

[Divebomb]

yeah, same. loved both star wolves games. really interested to see 3.

1c international releases to zero fanfare is a given now, isn't it. hehe.

[persoiranian]

how is the game? there is no review yet (except russian reviews) how do you like the game?

[clipthat]

Hmmm its so so, the voice overs are terrible though especially for the main character you play and this ruins it a little.

[blacktick]

It's a mixed bag,some will hate it.

I like it,sure it has crappy voice acting(didn't expect anything else),grammar issues and they censored it from the russian version(like racism etc).
But it's still a nice game. I can't really explain,but I feel the need to explore more and see where the story goes. The variety of weapons is great,the gfx are still ok considering it's a 2-3 year old game and the music is good.

The game gets better(IMO) once you get past the beginning and that could be a problem for some,but stick with it and see for yourselves. :)

[persoiranian]

thanks for your answers guys. how good is the sandbox features? how much we can move and explore freely,getting side missions and more....??

[clipthat]

Not to bad,so far im still early in the game but have accepted and completed a a good amount of different main missions and side missions this then opens up other areas on the map.

[persoiranian]

thanks for the reply.good to see the game is not linear. about bad voices..they are not surprising;)

[Divebomb]

love the dialogues in this. it's extremely messed up, but it fits perfectly. I have no idea how open the game is though, how many different ways there are to go through it. for my guy, I guess I kind of didn't go in with a real plan for my characters. I get into trouble a lot. like there are a bunch of missions where there really aren't any options for me to talk my way through and I'll have to fight 5-6 guys which pretty much always leads to me dying because he isn't really that good at fighting either hehe. I'm only up to the first "big" town though. after the prison place.

really enjoying it. but I have to trial and error a lot. the game autosaves on every single new character dialogue though, so dying a ton isn't a big problem. and a bunch of dialogue options do lead directly to the game over screen. hehe.

edit: I think the voices are fine. they are bad, but at the same time the game is completely crazy, the dialogue is insane. so it fits fine. it's just a crazy game


"I like it,sure it has crappy voice acting(didn't expect anything else),grammar issues and they censored it from the russian version(like racism etc)."

hehe. oh man, I have thought I've detected a hint of racism in some places though.

[ZIGS]

Oh my God, I never laughed so much playing a game! This is comedic gold! It's like playing Fallout with Hugh Grant as the lead character! XD

[Divebomb]

Haha. Exactly. Where are you, what are you doing in the game now?

[Skuff]

This is such a great game and the miss translations and sketchy voices make it what it is :) mad propz to 1C on this !!

Sorry for my english

If you get critically wounded in game, just put the surgeon kit in the character's inventory. then klik rest until fully healed.
surgeon kit can be bought at the hospital in the city.

Same procedure when we need to repair an item. only put a repair kit (forget the name) instead of surgeon kit.

Sorry for my english.

[phet lac]

I get your answer. I'll try it. Thank you very much.

[persoiranian]

just got this and a farewell to dragons.ok ok i know i'm late... haven't done anything important yet but it's cool. after playing for a few more hours i will come back to discuss the game.

[persoiranian]

at the beginning it may disappoint you..but play for more 20 minutes and you will like it.
various and funny dialogues, many choices,many weapons and more...
quality of sounds could be alot better.
i wish more people will come here to discuss and even make some mods and improvements if possible.

[Divebomb]

let me ask you this. the first gorilla thing you see in the game. right in the beginning. is it possible to take it down? before the prison place. I tried for a really long time before just running past it.

[Nokturnal]

Thanks to those giving their opinions - Without an actual review anywhere to be found it's good to hear that people are enjoying it.
I like the sound of the story, funny dialogue, opening new areas to explore, lots of guns...Ahh takes me back to the old Fallout days..

Looks like i've got another game to get :P I will post my opinions once i have played for a few hours.

[Sneaksie]

Zany game) Russian one was made specially anti-politically correct with 14+ rating, English version is much less offensive though;)

you mean gorilla thing after killing that wild dogs? i could kill that by using many weapons and eating a lot of things to gain health.however i haven't tried that on hard difficulty.

[Sneaksie]

You need to visit required locations on global map (they appeared after you saved Sullen) and complete their quests before proceeding with the main quest.

[Skuff]

ahh sweet as this is good to know ive only got 2 side quests left and then i can carry on ! thanks for the info !!

[Metroplex]

Can you buy DVD version or is it just DL for now?

[Nike-it]

Can you buy DVD version or is it just DL for now?

Right now it is available only via digital download.

[persoiranian]

said so in "a farewell to dragons" topic ,but i repeat:from now please ask your questions or write things you want,in separate topics,we have our own forum now!!

[Skuff]

This is great news thanks for the update :)

[planetalcatraz]

You need to visit required locations on global map (they appeared after you saved Sullen) and complete their quests before proceeding with the main quest.

correct, finish all "human-encounter" on a global map. then you can continue the main quest (and get another allied).

hi all

Pls help me, i got a vampire rifle and an underbarel to attach to it, i got the 30mm ammo for that underbarel too, and i press Ctrl when shooting too, but i can not fire from that underbarel.

How can i lunch a grenade from underbarel?

Sorry for my english.

[Sneaksie]

Did you load the grenade into it? Drag&drop 30mm ammo on this weapon, for example.

[phet lac]

I know how to launch a grenade. U click on bullet icon of the rifle, it has 3 mode: 3 shot, 1 shot and grenade mode. Thanks for reply.

[phet lac]

Hi all

Pls help me again. How to kill a zombie, i shoot it down already, but later it reborn again.

Sorry for my english

[Sneaksie]

Shoot at head (hold down '8' key on numpad). In addition, zombies won't rise after several deaths.

[planetalcatraz]

Just found out, that varod from Industrial zone. if we choose the speech carefully, we can get a sub-quest from him.
