I'm now downloading the open beta of Gunz. Why? It's the Wild West, envisioned by Korea with Japanese pretty-boys, light sabers and magic. It's so absolutely awful that I can't put off trying it anymore. I think I have an inner sadistic urge that draws me to these things and it's irrepairable. I have absolutely no idea of what to expect from this, just like I didn't when I threw myself into the Irth beta (which I managed to endure for an entire day before giving into the pain of it all) but I'll let you know after I've tried it out.
It's one of those things that appeals to me because it has so many awful ideas thrown together that inversely, it might just manage to turn the Universe inside out and pull a strange form of niftyness out of its arse in doing so. I blame Britain for this, Monty Python and Doctor Who, I have an affinity for cheese and really horrible things. So if anyone wishes to share in that, you're welcome to download the beta and try it out with me.
I have this nagging feeling though that this is going to be a genuinely painful experience.

... and it has a guy with a "No Frogs" sign printed on the back of his long, flowing trenchcoat in it. My urge to play this game is rising.
Oh look, a steam engine as the title screen. Nifty! I like steam engines. It's all in 3D. So I get my character standing in front of a steam engine. That's rather cool. Okay. Let's see here. Ooh, interesting. Hey, this guy has double machine-guns! Not very Western but it's time to go Woo on them! Yay for Akazi!
Er, he probably should be doing that. That's a wreckless thing to do with an Uzi. I mean, sure. You can twirl a six-shooter but an Uzi? Still, it looks groovy.
Waiting for the Game
Chat room. AOL people. Lots of gogogo. Help me, my mind is melting. It's like the worst of Warcraft, I didn't need a reminder. Please, teach them how to use their native tongues, great dieties of language, I beg of you!

In the Game
Okay! What? Wozzis? I have a katana? Where're my uzis? I want my Jon Woo! Damn you, damn you to hell! Okay, fine. So I can do sword slashes of two different types and I can ... I can block bullets with my sword, hey. That's pretty neat. It's still like Tomb Raider deathmatch though. Hm, hey. And I can wall-run! Woohoo, I can wallrun, I can wallrun, I can ...
*Rowne falls into a pit.
Game: Rowne has defeated himself!
... dammit.
I shall do this!

There has to be a way!

DAMMIT!
Okay, I need to read the manual. Advice to everyone and to myself. Read the damned manual before going back in. Find out how to get uzi's and how to run over pits.
< Edit >
Oh, I also found out that F6 makes me bow and offer up a "Thank you so much!". Which I found out right after being fragged, once. So I hope it came over as sarcastic, a golf-clapping or a "May I have another?", if you will.
Okay. So I DL'd it out of pure *wall climbing* curiousity. I looked through some of the website features to see how to sign in (or where to sign up at), but I don't see it anywhere.
HELP!
I must see this wall climbing expedition...
<edit>
hang on.. found this evasive "manual" link you referenced... What? they expect us to READ before slaughtering various mob_01? BAH!
<edit>
Wow. Umm... that is a "Manual Update" to patch the game there Kayde... Nice try though. Back to drawing board... HELP!
<edit>
I found the tiny login thingy in the upper right corner. Registered and will try again later.
Tried it out tonight. I got lvl 3 and have about 23 kills under my belt. Snipe city right here. The limited combinations for characters kinda sucks, and the fact that I'm playing on crappy wireless in the hotel cost me about 100 deaths to get the 23 kills.
Sorta fun and most people are light spirited. I have no idea what so ever what the hell I'm doing yet, but I'll try again and see if i cant get it down.
Made 2 toons: Caltrops and Heatmiser. If you see them around, kill someone else. LOL! /nod :oops:
Reminds me of my first experience with Guild Wars PvP. You can choose to create max level PvP only characters right away. So I did. And I ran around probably giving my opponents a good laugh, and my teammates sighs of frustration.
Don't worry Kayde, I was the same. I honestly didn't have a damned clue what to do at first until it all started coming together. These Korean games are weird. First they give us multiplayer Worms and now we have multiplayer Tomb Raider. What'll they do next?
Its hard to get use to the missing "Turn left" and "Turn right" keys. I think Doom and Unreal Tournament was like this, but still miss em.
I am exceptionally good at the keyboard/mouse combo controls, if I may say so myself, but the lacking buttons are proving to be the cause of my death far more often than necessary:
"Oh crap, he coming in for close combat!"
<draws sword>
"He went left!!! Argh! I must mame thee!!"
<turns right><draws dueling Uzi's>
"Swing dammit! ARGH! Guns aren't sharp!"
<Attempts to pummle with butt of guns>
"Draw sword!! Draw the bleemin sword you fool!!"
<draws sword>
"HAHA! Die you mangy rat-pig-dog!! Wait!?! Where's going?"
<draws duelaing Uzi's>
"No!! Turn LEFT!! LEFT you half-breed!!"
--You have been killed by n00b_03--
*Sigh*

I'm about to install it. You may catch me before I do though if you hop on ICQ. I have a fix for your Ascend problem.
