Anyone bought Conan?
Jeff Holinski
If so, how is it?
I liked the demo and have been thinking of picking up the full game.

Have been playing it for about a week. I'm about 5 hours in, and I think
there's about 12 hours all up. It rocks, reminds me of more old-school hack
and slash games, but there are enough unique elements (platform areas,
trebuchets to operate etc) to keep you interested. The combo attacks are
good - I'm buying up and using mainly combos for two-handed weapons like
staffs and claymores. Next time through I'll concentrate on the 2x
one-handed weapon skills. Kills are very gory, there's female nudity so I
wouldn't recommend if there are kids around (there are parental controls to
remove this but it would take most of the fun and "conan atmosphere" out of
it).

I rented it and finished it in 2 days on normal difficulty. It's pretty
much a god of war clone. It does have some cool moves you can learn. Really
you can get thru the whole game with just mashing the light attack button.
Some enemies you might need to hit the heavy attack button.
Be warned the voice acting for the characters is really awful.
Overall it's a good rental but, I would never pay $60 for it.

I got this one about a week ago and finally got around to opening it
last night. So far, I love it. It is definitely inspired by God of
War, but with enough to keep it fresh. As one of the posters above
said, it does remind one of those sorely missed hack and slash games
of the good old days.
I would recommend it if you have $60 burning a hole in your pocket.

@i38g2000prf.googlegroups.com:
I am about 2/3rds way through, but would recomment waiting until it has had
at least one price cut.
It is a great hack and slash, but I want to know who thought it was okay to
allow one of your combos to be interupted by an enemy touching you, but
there is nothing you can do to stop one of theirs. Probably the same person
who okayed the slow motion effect after you land a good combo, but then
allow your enemy recover instantly and land a combo on you before you even
get control of your charecter back.

Yeah, that frustrated the hell out of me - they can interrupt your combos,
but you can't interrupt theirs. The lions are a good example.

Based on the comparisons to God of War (which I've never played, but
have heard is quite good) I picked up the full game and am enjoying it
a lot.
I find the extreme violence quite entertaining and was quite surprised
to find bare breasted maidens to rescue. :^)
(they should have those in every game)
I'm playing on the normal skill level and have been manageing fairly
well with the combat other than the sand dragon level. I died a lot
trying to kill that lizard.
All in all I'm pretty happy with it. :^)

And Age of Conan is an action MMO, in which you - again - fight, do
combos, etc, but you don't have to be a fighter.
