DeathKeep - awesome but hard
It is without any doubt a massive technical achievement. The framerate is better than Dooms (no suprise) but also Immercenary, Defcon 5, possibly Escape from Monster Manor and definately KillingTime. The whole thing is textured, and looks great, thing is --- it's just too hard -- if you play like you play doom. I took my time and it's growing on me. Although the 20+ attempts to get off of the first level was somewhat unattaractive.
Anyone else stuck it out with this gem?

I liked Radiant Silver gun, i liked it a lot. I found a copy, and it was awesome, I had to emulate it because it was the NTSC version and I had a PAL saturn. There is a rumour that RSG will be out XBL or PSN? Of late bullet hell shooters have become very trendy, Cave shooters right? I can't say i liked them, but games like RSG, Raiden, Einhander, Raiden DX are very beautiful.3DO Experience wrote:Yup. Slayer was too hard for little ol me. So I go on to play other more enjoyable titles.
For torture that feels good try Radiant Silvergun for the Sega Saturn.
Racket boy did a PS1 vs Saturn shooter comparison, and since my PS1 was chipped and my saturn wasn't (and the fact I couldn't get a straight answer on how to get imports working on my PAL saturn) I sold the saturn. My two regrets (three actually) were radiant silver gun, virtua cop, and Panzer Dragoon Saga all of which always looked awesome.
Maybe once I get my millions and retire (sneak off) to Panama i'll get a Saturn back. We'll have an anual 3DO Zone party or something. I'll get a US one and we'll play all these.

Well, I will be getting rid of an extra NTSC first run Saturn, with an import cart. And since I have an extra copy of Radiant Silvergun that I found as well that will be in the bundle. I'm still sorting through the game room, thanks to Trev, and being delaying in the cleaning by Syberia, also thanks to Trev.

Ha ha, make sure you save before *SPOILER ALERT* putting the mammoth on the train or you might be delayed even more ...

It is the only "glitch" I found. Still a real good game once you get uese to controlling w/a d-pad & not a mouse.
As for Deathkeep, it has zero customization, yes? That automatically makes it bad next to Slayer (which was only average anyway)

It's actually quite awesome.
Can you create characters, pick monsters, and choose the layout of the dungeon like Slayer though? Surely those are missed features!3DOKid wrote:I've double checked and checked again, and you are wrong sorry.Trev wrote:Ha ha, make sure you save before *SPOILER ALERT* putting the mammoth on the train or you might be delayed even more ...

The first bit where you are on the ice is real pain but do-able. Also, playing it like Doom is a recipe for disaster, it's like the Anti-Doom since your best bet for success is one enemy at time, but the game engine takes great pride in shoving 10 at once at you. You just have to be carefull - like you were in a real Dungeon or something
