I AM SO HAPPPPPPY

Chippies

@Frank Risen?

Frank

@Chippies Don't believe so.

Chippies

Idk why, but I feel like that game was a buggy, broken mess of an open world game and somehow the name could be confused for Sacred

Frank

20:02

No, not Risen.

It was a Skyrim-esque game, only more colorful.

And several years before Skyrim.

@spugsley I had a lot of fun with the second too. I was really excited about the third one, but after reading an article about a handson, not so much anymore :(

GnomeSlice

hahaha this game used music by Dance With The Dead youtube.com/watch?v=bIKtO6zsuqM

too bad the game looks like shit

Arperum

The handson build didn't even support keyboard and mouse yet...

so it's going to end up being a game that doesn't fit in the series, and a terrible console port.

Frank

I'm actually looking up these games on Steam, see if I recognize them.

@Frank let me know if you find out what it is, I'm curious as well

Sacred (video game)

Sacred is an action role-playing game for Microsoft Windows and Linux released in 2004. It takes place on the magical continent of Ancaria, with characters of various races (dark elf, wood elf, vampiress, etc.) each with their own missions. More than 1.8 million copies of the game were sold worldwide. In 2008 Linux Game Publishing announced that they would port the game to the Linux operating system. Sacred was developed by Studio II Software and Ascaron Entertainment and published in 2004 by Encore in the USA release. Gameplay Characters Upon beginning the game, players are given a ...

@FEichinger I do have half the room on ignore and I have a script that hides replies to the ignored people.
