I've d/l the spenish demo to my computer, and I'm speechless. this looks to be one of the best games this year. The setting is beautiful, the engine is superb, and enemy AI seems to be astounding, not to mention the great sounds and extremly well thoughtout gameplay!

sorry for hoggin the forum, but how far can I go in the demo. I've reached a point where there's a "box" and that's it...how do I remove it?

# 11

Comment by: Berruga

You have to burn it!!!

# 12

Comment by: Marfan

I tried burning it, I cant get it to work.
I can burn other boxes, am i forgetting something?
thx

# 13

Comment by: Warlock

Yeah, there seems to be a bug there...

If you don'tt open the door up the stairs from where you find the torch on the ground, the box will react to your torch. So...dont open that door and you will be able to burn that damn box up! :-)

Comment by: Marfan

Ok cool that works.
1 more nubie ques... is it just me or is the demo friggin hard??

# 15

Comment by: Warlock

It's friggin hard ;-)

The level are quite big and as you can't save games in the demo, it's a tough one to complete. But hey, I managed to complete it after a few days! :)

What is Blades Gore password?
Ive tried Warlocks Sesame
and Marfan's Seasame?
What is the PW?!?!?

# 20

Comment by: Marfan

its 'sesame'

# 21

Comment by: JokerH8T

Ive tried that..I type it in the Parental Lock area and it wont let me Change Blood and Mutilation to YES.
Do i put the PW BEFORE I load your Zip... or can I do it after??

Also, The game is running slow..really choppy...And when I try to lower the resolution in the Configuration menu, and try to play the demo...It says it doesnt have D3D or something and Then i get booted and I MUST hit Auto, which load ths maximum settings (obviously) and my comp is turned to a SNAIL...
THough..OMG..the lighting of the game is TO IMPRESSIVE..GREAT Games So far..

# 22

Comment by: marfan

Type in "sesame" in the password spot. exit the menu and you can set gore/mutilations to yes
I just tried that after installing my translation. It works.

get directx7 to get d3d working
and if you dont have a graphics card yer screwed =)

my changes are only a few bitmaps and some text files, none of which has anything to do with the functioning of the game.


LOAD/SAVE Works, but.... it screws up sometimes when you try to load a saved game, and even when it does some things are screwy. Like f1 doesnt work, and the end game text doesnt display.

so you gotta beat it without saving to see the end right =)

# 23

Comment by: JokerH8T

oh..not Directx, Ive got Win2k.
Im going to re-install the Demo and then your Zip again..I think its my fault..I played around the Parental Settings for a while before I entered the real PW..hehe..oops

Blade hang after finish loading, I can't figure the problem. My Comp:
PII 333 MHz
RAM 64MB
VGA I740 4MB(supproted in the 'leeme', I guess)
Sound Card Avance Logic

Comment by: Warlock

Ouch - your system will have a hard time running Blade properly I'm afraid.

Try using 'Auto' in the video configuration and see if that works. Also be sure to have dx7 installed and your videocard is fully dx7 compatible.

I can't get the box to burn, even if I leave the last door closed. I picked up the torch, started it on fire, "attacked" the box, stood there with the torch by the box, jumped, threw it at the box, hit enter, etc. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

# 27

Comment by: Warlock

You must use the "use" key with the burning torch in your hand while standing next to the box.

Not sure why it doesn't work for you...just be sure that the first thing you do is to go directly to the torch laying on the floor, light it up and move directly over to the boxes to set the wooden box on fire with the use-key.

Comment by: Orogrog

I was looking forward this game but this demo disappoint me. The controls are very bad and this game play way too slow, is there any way to run? I hope it will not be like this in the final version because it will probably turn out into another nocturne : awful controls kill the good game.

Comment by: Willy

Has anyone beaten that big guy with 900 hp? If so, what was your strategy? Thanks.

# 30

Comment by: Warlock

Download the english translation patch!

It will inform you of all the movements while you load the game.

Of course you can run, just double-tap the forward-key :)

For the big guy...stay close enough to prevent him from charging electrical bolts at you, but distant enough to be able to dodge-jump backwards when he swings his sword at you. Circle him and move in on a fast attack and move back to a safe distance. He is slow, so this is his weakness. I found the mace to be the best weapon against him.

Comment by: adinet

yes. the game is a bit slow. compared to Rune, but I think it's for his advantage. The combat is way more real, way more intense.

I think the best thing against the big guy is the Death Sword. found in the church. It's pretty big, but it has 46 power.

I can't save sometimes, it outs it self from the game.
