Champions of Norrath

I was really really excited to try that game. I'm searching desesperatly for a game that will let me use my damn Network Adaptor for something else than homebrew application. So I was really eager to try it and play online with my friends. I rented it and all I have to say is the game is alot of fun except for the fact that the thing is buggier than let say, Windows 95. But what the **** were they smoking when they did the online portion of the game?? For the love of god, the online mode is SO half-assed it's not even funny. Absolutly no lobby or communication before joining a game. I can live with that little annoyance. But you can't join an already started game?? WTF? And you are teleported back to town every time one of the players use a Gate Scroll, no matter what you were doing or fighting. You have to listen to NPC character talking everytime someone talk to one of them and every player in the game have to wait for the FMV to end. Now that completly ruin the whole experience... And there is absolutly no way of dropping gold and you can't trade items with other players unless you trust them and drop them on the ground. And if you ever use your single player character on the net and save to keep the new stats and item you've gained while on the net, you will have a surprise after loading your single player game. You would expect to be where you were at last save but no, you are now where you were on the net. That's plain stupid, they should have made 2 files on the memory card, one for your characters and one for your saved game... I was planning on buying it at the store isnted of a copy, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Have any of you guys tried it or bought it? What do you think of the online mode? Am I the only one really dissapointed?

PS2 is not good online PERIOD....That's kind of why I don't bother playing online. Hopfully SOny learns and makes PS3 online better...

[Cpt_Obvious]

Arrrrrrrrr, but how be the game in offline mode? is it as fun as Baldur's Gate II????

[Primenal]

Yea, it is...That's all I really care about anyways.

[FF4Ever]

Yes the game is way better then BG2 and it looks better also.

The game is alot of fun in single player mode or playing with a friend. There is some annoying thing while playing with friends but that is to expect when you share the same TV set. Beside all the bugs, it's a really cool game but I was really looking forward playing online like in my old Diablo's day. That's too bad because I don't think I'm gonna spend my money on this one, I will probably go with the Kalisto 2-DVD rip.

[urrbodyh8sme]

is it kinda like diablo 1 for ps1 with 2 player or dose it split screen ? i bought me one off the net and will have it soon i heard the 2nd dvd on the klisto rip dosent work but i know were to get get diractions on how to rip it but to ing for me to do lol

[carnyharhar]

i'd say it was really good except it froze on me already and i've only been playing for less than an hour.............................really glitchy

[Cpt_Obvious]

Arrrrrrr, Yeah, that is me question too...is it split or shared screen when in 2 plyr mode?

Has anybody played Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel yet either? I heard that that game has pretty much same controls and play feeling as BG. Can ye tell that BG is bein' one a me all time favorite games?

[Fat_Mike]

Fortunatly, there is no split screen, you can play 4 player game withosu any splitted screen. But everytime someone look in his inventory, you have to wait for him. But that is to be expected when sharing the same TV set.
