Oh Yeah, can't wait for this, so hyped. I haven't been so excited for a game in a long while. *Edit: This definitely deserves at least 1,000 posts. Foursaken media forever!
So just curious, there's a important story element or it's like the original H&C? I'll instabuy this one either way
No story at least in Beta version. Wonder if the GA version adds anything in that regard, like some meaningful dialogs from NPC.
That's kind of a bumer, but you know, who needs story in a game like this? Everyone just roleplays their own story!
There is a story, which wasn't in beta. But it is similar to H&C1 in that it is presented through optional dialog when talking to NPCs in between the levels. There is also a journal that records the gist of it as well. But again, its more like a general telling of the lore, some background tidbits, and some history, as opposed to an integral story line that you have to follow.
...Which i think is perfect for a game like this. This doesnt need a story telling really, but some sort of lore which gives it a background will complete the experience. The structure of H&C titles is somehow similar to that of Monster Hunter, and having no real story unfolding works perfectly for their kind of games. They do however benefit greatly from the lore-type of story telling.
I've had separation anxiety since beta ended hahaha. I've been playing alot of Auro which is a fantastic strategy game... also some H&C1.. Toca games with the childrens... But no one yells "To battle!" And blows and amazing battle horn. No game lets me carry a battle hammer and a scythe and unleash all heck...gosh if any of that happened in a Toca Boca game it would be incredible lol
