My crazy brother (ScouSin) has tricked me into playing another Korean game. What is it this time? Rakion. Well, the game isn't too unique, but it's unique enough to be fun. Plus, I think I'm starting to become one of those people who actually finds a game more enjoyable when the graphics are better. Mind you, I can still enjoy a game if the graphics suck (I mean, I do play games on BYOND), but graphics definitely enhance gameplay for me now. Some of you may be sayin' that this is obvious, and blah blah blah, but I used to not care at all how graphics looked. Maybe it's just how graphics are improving and looking really impressive, but I enjoy the game more. Huh, half this post is about graphics--not the original intent.
Anyway, so, after Survival Project, Gunbound, and Gunz, I'm now onto Rakion. Anyone play it? I'm sure Scou would also be interested in getting more people in on it, but we've just started out--level 3's. Scou's a natural, but I think I just picked a tough class (Mage). He went the beginner-friendly Swordsman class. We're gettin' the hang of it, but as is also common with these games, lag is an issue. The people seem nicer than usual, though.

The system requirements are pretty demanding, but the game's a lotta fun so far.

Tried it. My video card wasn't good enough I'm guessing so the graphics kept on breaking up..

Omg, I used to play Survival Project

Katari, have you tried lowering all graphical settings to nil?

Nil graphics... Wouldn't that be a blank screen? ;-)

In general, the game in significantly similar to Gunz, except this game relies a lot less on movement (K-Style won't cut it here), and it relies a lot more on control of multiple choices of attack maneuvers.
It feels like I'm playing Punch-Out!! when I play Rakion. Dodge and counter, dodge and counter...
