Dunenewt Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 How could we attract more people to this board and get more people to buy the game? I mean it doesn't cost that much to get it off e-bay and if just a few people from this siteĀ bought it we could get this board much busier.

Andrew Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 If it was still being sold at the store near me I would have bought it. I saw it there one day but I didn't buy it. $10 Canadian.Dunno, is there a competition that is possible for the game? Like a time race or some other stats? Would be a pretty cool multiplayer game. Trying to kill your opponent with a Crysknife. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 I don't think its possible to edit it :(Maybe we could tell people to buy it as a stocking filler for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Why should anyone try to convince people to buy a crap game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Reverse engineer the game and offer it with workable controls, bug fixes, the author's name spelled correctly, and a few mor missions for good measure.(Ok, to be fair, I did complete it with a touchpad, but the controls are still lacking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 You've completed it now? No longer stuck on the Worm mission?Ā Well I'd like a FPS done with some of the features of FH's Dune personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Yes, I used a computer with an external keyboard without a broken down key and was careful. Thereafter, it was relatively straightforward, with the possible exception of the lengthy smuggler mission. (And the last mission I managed first time). Though that's no excuse for it being difficult to control. Difficulty should come from the gameplay, not the controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I brought emperor cos it was a RTS and dune2k only for the same reason. So I guess it is just the wrong type of game for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 But if you saw it in Game for a fiver would you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Well, of I did, it would only sit on the shelf next to Dune2k, while I wear out my emperor discs.Ā :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Wouldn't you give it a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Oh shure I would try it out, I would try everything it can do, but I just dont think it would be as much fun as emperor. Maybe I could be wrong, but I have played a lot of those big hyped games, and they have been good, but a small low hype game like emp has my loyalty.I would give it a fair shot, like I did for Dune2k.I wish I could suggest a good way for you to attract more people. Maybe somewhere to get some info would be a start, as I dont know harldy anything about this game (including its existence for a while).

Sober Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I saw it for like 10$ Jewel Case, but tis long gone. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ok, I 'll satisfy Dunenewt's sig demand.But truly this game is crap. I mean, is there any action-adventure gamer stupid enough to waste his money?Gamespot rated the game with a 3.3. Below are quotes from its review:It's a poorly designed 3D action-adventure game that actually has precious little to do with the source material and equally little to recommend it.Despite a couple of moderately nice touches, Frank Herbert's Dune is a dud of a game. Any strengths are marred by a long string of poor design decisions and equally poor execution. The game utterly fails to capture the majesty and mystery of the Dune universe, turning it into an interactive Saturday morning cartoon--and a bad one at that. Toss this one to the worms.And you can find the same opinion in any gaming site.To answer the topic's question, we should make no efforts whatsoever to promote this game - the only thing we could achieve is make people dislike the dune universe.

Dunenewt Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Each to their own.Ā I rather enjoyed it. It's a great RPG, and the graphics were and still are very very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Erm..RPG?!And the graphics were good at best. How many action games have you played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Role Playing Game.Ā The graphics were very good, I doubt therefore, your game was running at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Lol, I know what RPG is. But Frank Herbert's Dune is not a RPG.Rest assured, the game was running at its best on my comp. I rate the graphics by comparing them to games of that period - and as I said they are just good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNWOUNDS Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 This game is not a RPG....Morrowind was a RPG... and FYI a "dud" with pretty graphics is one of the worst gaming offenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I agree with most of the post above except for one thing - if by Prince of Persia II you refer to the Warrior Within then I believe you are wrong - it is a quite decent game.

XaarKhan Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I used to have the game but never managed to hold out long enough to learn the controls.The controls putted me off and finally I never played it.As for the topic, if you want more players to get the game you could make a sticky with links to reviews, patches and more stuff.
