Anybody playing Portal Knights?
My son and I are playing today as his Mother's day gift to me. I've played a bit, and watched a little video, seems right up my alley!

Not familiar with it at all.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

It has been described as 70% Minecraft and 30% Zelda. We had a great time playing it yesterday.

Looks really neat, thanks for the heads up! I'm burnt out on early access games, but I've got it added to the wishlist now to keep an eye on it.

It's coming out of Early Access next month, so not too long to wait.wonderpug wrote:Looks really neat, thanks for the heads up! I'm burnt out on early access games, but I've got it added to the wishlist now to keep an eye on it.

Oops, Portal Knights came out of EA today. I haven't had a chance to play 1.0 and probably won't for a bit but I'm looking forward to it!

Re: Anybody playing Portal Knights?
I'm sold on the game, but I just read that a Nintendo Switch version is in the works. No release date yet, but I think I'll wait for that version.

Better hope the camera is better than the ones for the Xbox/PS4. Compared to the Steam version the camera was nuts. Otherwise I'd have bought it on one of those instead (there's demos for both consoles).wonderpug wrote:I'm sold on the game, but I just read that a Nintendo Switch version is in the works.

Oh yeah? Trouble with keeping it at a useful angle or something?Lorini wrote:Better hope the camera is better than the ones for the Xbox/PS4. Compared to the Steam version the camera was nuts.

Re: Anybody playing Portal Knights?
It's too loose. You want to move it a small distance and it moves a wide distance, meaning you have to keep correcting it. Annoying coming from the more precise PC version.wonderpug wrote:Oh yeah?

Re: Anybody playing Portal Knights?
We got through the second boss after dinner last night. That was fun, but we are not ready for the level 20+ stuff int he worlds past the boss. We have gone back to the previous areas to find fur to upgrade his armor. He is a Ranger and I am a Fighter. We're both having a lot of fun with it. I never really liked Minecraft because it was a pure sandbox. This gives me something to work towards. I am still doing sand-boxy stuff, building my own house and such, but I just don't enjoy pure sandbox. It also helps that it is much better looking than minecraft.

Agreed on the graphics, plus it has real bosses.

Re: Anybody playing Portal Knights?
I generally play it solo and it works pretty well. I have only killed the first 3 Bosses though. It's a good light game and easy to kill several hours exploring worlds and working toward the next "goal".

It also has the Minecraft like creative opportunities, but with better graphics built-in.

Re: Anybody playing Portal Knights?
Yeah, I've ignored this title, but coincidentally read a article talking about it's new DLC. Sounds like something my son (and daughter) would like to play, so I grabbed it. Haven't tried it yet, but it says it offers local split-screen co-op so we'll see how that goes.
