[Ikerous]

[Reginald]

Any other hosts for the video? 22 kb/s

 

[Ikerous]

Nope, sorry

I was going to upload it to filefront but i didnt wanna wait fifteen minutes

 

[Lucid]

...What exactly is "Rakion" ?

 

[Ikerous]

Um.. hm, how to explain it XD

I think about it as an rpg counter strike.. but kewler

Your characters can be one of any five races, each with different strengths and weaknesses and you kill other people
The games usually conist of two teams, you can either try to kill everyone on the other team or complete the objective of killing the other teams golem (So i guess its kinda like capture the flag too)
Theres also deathmatch games

When you play you get money and xp, when you level up you can put xp points on w/e stat you want and you can use the money to buy armor
(Although, it really isn't that important to level. A talented lvl 1 could rape a lvl 20 noob)

I usually hate rpgs cuz they're time consuming and you have to do a bunch of crap, but this one just involves killing people My kinda game

(I'm uploading the video to filefront... a movie is worth a thousand words )

This looks... odd. Can't say it looks too appealing.

Shh, say it looks awesome or I won't have anyone to talk about it with

 

[Reginald]

Gee Whizz. That looks jolly spiffing.

I'm a level 17 swordsman!

Also, you can only level up to 15 before paying to level up thereafter.

^_^ Someone plays!

And yea, i really want a power user card, but im so lazy
Ill probably get one once i hit 15

I have a lvl 12 swordsman with +33 on his special
he's fun to play deathmatch games with

I'm leveling up a ninja with just attack speed
I need to get better at dagger gliding though
Nothings more fun than dagger gliding up to someone durring their attack and grabbing em
They can't do anything about it

 

[Lucid]

That looks damn fun... but is it only in korean/japanese/chinese/(insert foreign language here)?

 

[CSD-San]

There is an english version. My brother plays, and I've seen him on it quite a bit. Personally, I think it looks painfully average at best, in every way. It's not for me. Even he admits he only plays it because he has nothing else to play.

Downloading now. Sounds interesting. I'll watch the video after I eat my steak.

<3

EDIT: Saw the video and downloading now. This looks really cool... almost like Gunz only not gay. Too bad its going at 32kb/s
.

 

[Lucid]

God damn, the translations on the webpage blow. o.0...
Holy ****, this better be worth the ludicrously slow download speed.

 

[Qonfused]

Updating. Uhg... that took another 45 mintues. Just finished.

 

[AiM]

From the looks of it, it doesn't seem all that great, more like a 'hey it's neat for 5 mins' type. I guess I'll wait until there's more feedback for this, especially considering how bad the download / updating speeds are.

 

[Ikerous]

Wow, i forgot about this thread XD
Yea, the download speeds are appalling, but once it's installed, you don't have to deal with it again

It's kept me entertained for a few months now
But, it really isn't the best game
The programming is about as bad as the translations
But the concept is really really fun, especially if you get good at it

I'd really like to find a game thats exactly the same, but wasn't programmed by a buncha crazies
(Does a game like that exist?)

 

[ricera10]

It looks good, and it is insanely addcitive (I've been playing it regularly for months), but it's actually a crappy game. Though this game is proof of concept that a game is more than the sum of its individual parts.

 

[Qonfused]

I downloaded it and played for 20min. Meh.
