Topic: Looting (gaming)


  
  Game Review: Dark Reign, Page 2
One complaint in particular I had was fighting a guy that appeared to be a swordsman, yet while looting his dead body I discover he was fighting with a staff or no weapon at all.
Even in the better deathmatch games, I love to play cooperative games to learn the levels and share the fun.
While a couple of graphics issues make for some performance issues and the multiplayer games are a little disappointing, the game is playable on more powerful machines with a few tweaks to the control system.

  MMORPG - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
In games such as this, there are different jobs, vocations, professions, etc. MMORPGs are usually medieval based (even though some are futurist) and vocation dynamics usually are: Different kinds of mages or druids that use all sorts of magic, knights that use melee fighting, archers that use bows, and some games even have merchants.
A zone-based game world can be extremely large and accommodate a huge number of players, because each individual zone can be managed by a single server, with a farm of servers working together to form the entire game world.
Some games such as Roma Victor and Project Entropia take this incentive a step further, allowing players to convert real-world currency to in-game currency such as "Sesterces" or "Project Entropia Dollars", which can then be spent on better equipment, and even houses, for their character.

 Phantasy Star Online Ep. I & II Review for Xbox - Gaming Age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
We're talking about basically the same game we were playing a couple years ago on the Dreamcast with some extra polish and new content.
The bulk of the game is made up of hacking and looting the dungeons looking for higher levels and better weapons for your character.
Voice chatting during the game with people from all around the country, while hammering through the games dungeons and challenge modes, is an awesome experience.

 Gaming Illustrated - Rise of Nations (PC) Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
The game begins with a world map (and mini-map) with your opponents arrayed against you, vacant territory visible, and your territory and army.
In my first encounter, where I went into a new territory and had to establish a base and build an army, I was really at home creating a town, library (where technology is created through many varied technology-trees), university (used to generate knowledge), mines (used to generate metals), lumber camp (used to generate wood).
The game is very addictive, just as you finish one battle, you see form the World Map update that an opponent has defeated another opponent and moved his army away from one territory you have had your eyes on – so naturally you must quickly jump in to exploit this vulnerability.

 GamingWorld - X Clusive GNP: "Wario Land" (Virtual Boy)
Of all the games released on this little red menace, Wario Land is the one worth the trip to the optometrist.
Most of his adventures involve him looting some ancient temple or cave for all the goodies he can find, and this incarnation is no different.
Games released for the Virtual Boy were all subjected to the blazing red graphics that left many a gamer rubbing their eyes and seeking a higher prescription.

 EverQuest II (PC) Review at GamingExcellence
Sure, the game may look outstanding on the highest detail, but the average gamer simply can't afford top of the line hardware to play a game.
At the actual level where the game is balanced between performance and quality, the only improvement in the graphics from the original are the spell effects.
The looting system isn't nearly as good as it was in the original, and the large number of changes to the experience bar and overall UI has made the screen seem crowded.

 Buccaneer's Bounty Review PC-CD/DVD at Next Level Gaming!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Of the three games in the pack, this one is definitely my favorite, with the mixture of trade, growth, exploration and privatering, the game leaves you to your own devices, letting you play it as you see fit.
Tortuga is the game that really lets you live life as a pirate, not just trying to avoid them, or practicing privatering in your spare time no, this game really lets you get your hands dirty in the pirate business.
If however, you have most of these games already, then you would be better served just picking up the third, as most of these games are somewhat older they are no longer expensive to buy on their own, but all of them are easily worth their current cost.

In many games, due to long travel times or inventory limits, it is helpful to create a character explicitly for the purpose of being able to check auction houses or store extra items.
Ninja looting refers to the purposeful and malicious looting of a drop from a monster that doesn't follow the rules set by the group.
In games where different areas of the world are parceled out for loading reasons, different areas are referred to as zones.

For the first half of the game, you will make a lot of money looting hexes (which is different than capturing themÑbasically you just scrounge up all the valuables left over in the hex after the Scourge wiped out civilization).
Your convoy can move 5 hexes, so loot your starting hex, move along the road to an adjacent hex, loot again, and continue doing this until you are out of moves.
Small island hexes are worth more looting than anything else in the game (as compensation for how difficult it is for you to loot coastlinesÑyou have to move out into the water, then into another coastal hex, and then loot, making this operation slower for sea convoys than for land convoys).

 Bounty Hounds Playstation Portable Review Index, Bounty Hounds PSP Reviews
There are a lot of similarities between the two, not just in terms of their settings and the basic template of their game mechanics, but even in character design and overall aesthetics.
None of this detracts from the very heart of the game, which is straight-up hacking, slashing, shooting glee.
It's very good to see that this game didn't turn out to be abysmal, but it also hurts to see that despite the fact the game turned out well, there's no real enjoyable multiplayer.

 Headaches and guilds - A Forum Post by Draginol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Since quite a few of the quest related loots are the 'you pick up, you own it for ever' varient, hard feelings are easy to come by.
If you "just want to play the damn game", Draginol, you should probably resign from being guild master (I hope that doesn't sound too harsh, it is not meant like that) or maybe get good 'advisors' that handle the social stuff for you.
The game automatically divides up the loot among the party members, eliminating the first round of difficulties, and simply creating a trading situation with players wanting the item and teh player who was assigned the item.

 Early build of Doom III leaks onto the Internet. - Nov. 6, 2002
Internet pirates are getting a taste of 2003's hottest game these days, but if the developer and publisher had anything to say about it, things would be quite different.
It's not the entire game that is being pirated - rather a three-level demo that was shown at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, the trade show of the video gaming industry — but it's enough to outrage developers and confuse publishers.
The retail game, of course, will be optimized to run on a typical PC before it is released.

The big difference is that the loot window's position doesn't change after the window is opened, this to make high-end looting easier (lots of epic items from one mob).
If you're looting more than 1 item, u gotta move the mouse to the 2nd item on your own, (the window moved to your cursor before).
Never had any problems looting mobs but today I started fishing for the first time in a long time and it sometimes closes the window before I can loot the fish/junk that I caught.

 Strategy Gaming Online - Reviews: Tropico 2
For instance, gambling games can be rigged in the player's favor, or random executions can be scheduled to keep the captives in line.
My other complaint is that the tongue-in-cheek attitude of the game, while true to the original and often quite amusing, is sometimes a bit silly to the point of not making sense.
For instance, the game makes use of auras, such as fear, order, and anarchy, to affect the contentedness of pirates and captives.

If player don’t have hours to spend looting and delivering messages, it might be worth to simply buy SWG credit rather than taking the necessary time to earn it.
Whether players are new to gaming in the MMORPG realm or an old hat at it, players have probably wondered where on earth or in the galaxies player can find cheap SWG credit.
