What's the deal on "Project Ego"?

**Veno** · 05-09-2002

Why is everyone so hyped up about it? I'm missing something, I read through the product profile but I still can't see why this is a must have. Can someone please tell me why I just "haaaaave" to get it? ty

I totally am the same way. Personally, I thnik this game looks like *****.

Hey, I'm not saying it looks like ****, I just don't understand why people are getting hyped up about it. Where can I get some more info on this game? I'm not looking for people who agree with me, cmon. Anyone?

You don't haaaaave to have any game. If it doesn't look appealing to you, then don't buy it. There are some super hyped games coming out that I'm prolly not going to get. To be honext, Brute Force doesn't really float my boat, but from what I see on the forums, a lot of people are *really* anticipating this game. I may rent it just to check it out. who knows, i may like it. i may not.

I actually think that it looks pretty good. From what I read in OXM, no two characters will be the same, meaning that they change throughout gameplay.
Here's an article if you want some more info on the game.

God, I already said: I don't want answers like that, all I want to know is why do you think this game will rock? I don't want any people to agree with me or tell me I don't have to like the game. God...

Casper, that's all I wanted, I appreciate that. You musta posted it right while i was writing my last post to the otehr two guys.

Im definitely excited about Project Ego. I think it's because of the freedom you have in the game. Everything you do effects everything else. The replay value would seem to be endless. Think about it, you can complete the game as a giant hero or you can complete it as a dark, always in the shadows person. You spend alot of time in the sun? Your skin tans. In the shadows? You will be alot more pale. You can see it in the screens on any website (or oxm) how your character can evolve. He can have differenct clothing, tatoos, etc...

Also, whats interesting is the people around your character. Kids will try to look and even act like you. Thats if your acting like a hero and not just killing citizens and stuff. Or they will run away from you if you are killing them. If you were to chop down a tree at 14 years old, 40 years later the stub will still be there with a little bit of growth.

Theres much more that gets me excited about this game. But thats a good start. Everything listed is simply about environment and not about the actual story itself (your father is killed and you try to avenge his death). Trust me, you should be excited about this game. Think zelda x10.

A reallllly ambitious idea, but what's this thing about growing old really fast? Like you can't do anything once you reach age 60 and the game just ends. Isn't that kinda... ummm... unfortunate? lol.

**AlBoogy** · 05-09-2002

What more do you want to do after the age of 60? You want to pop viagra pills? Buy a rocking chair and sit in it for hours and hours? See how well Rogaine REALLY works?

I think youre expecting waaaay to much lol.

i dont think you grow old too fast. if im not mistaken isnt the game supposed to have like 200 hours of gameplay? to me that is awesome.

**Veno** · 05-09-2002

Call me old fashioned, but I like a game that has a huge plot, not a game where you roam around doing whatever you feel like. I was a Diablo freak... I also expect rpg's to have multiplayer, without being able to play with a friend, it's like 1/4 of the fun you could have. Morrowind could be interesting, it looks to be baldur's gate style quests without the annoying group and chats. Plus many more options with creating a character.

Everything I have read says something like 20 or 40 hours. Where did you see 200 hours? If this is true then I would be much more hyped for this game than I currently am. Now Morrowind on the other hand is said to have at least 200 hours. I'm definitely hyped for that.

**Liquid Gears** · 05-09-2002

I'll just say it straight. I am not buying this game and I'm not even gonna rent it.

**XBOX Dude** · 05-09-2002

can you say RPG hater

liquid give the game a chance diss it after you play it not before

**gula** · 05-09-2002

Lets see, we have one of the greatest man behind the game. (Peter Molyneux) And he guarantees that this is one of the best RPG's out there. Peter is also behind Black and White, BC, and Project Ego. This guy is legendary. Just like Miyamoto.

**darianX** · 05-09-2002

Um...Black and White was FAR from a masterpiece on the gameplay side of things (the important part). Yes, the AI was tremendous but gameplay was nothing but extreeeeeeme micro-micro-management. Everyone I knew that played it became very frustrated with it fast.

It seems as though Molyneux is a bit overly ambitious...I hope the gameplay kicks major @ss with this one or I'm not buying any more of his games. So there.

Funny... I thought the game was a blast. Maybe you and your friends all have ADD and need to take ritalin before tackling a game that involves thinking.

Then again, I could spend hours picking my people up and chucking them in the ocean... god thats funny (no pun intended)

I heard you could have your create take dumps in that game. God if that was possible, just walking around and taking dumps on things would be entertaining for hours....I don't know maybe it just dosn't take much to entertain me!
