Bound by Flame

[BenGerman]

An RPG/Action game that comes out May 9th for the PS4. Don't know how this one flew under my radar, but it looks great.

Re: Bound by Flame

It's on my radar. Think I'll preorder tomorrow when I pick up The Show.

I posted this trailer in the PS4 forum. Looks good.

Interesting tidbits about the story.........

1. Choice-Driven Gameplay: Your Decisions Influence the Story and the Hero

Depending on the choices made by the player and the influence of the demon, some chapters will offer different scenarios and a different experience, adding important replayability to the game.
(Spiders, May 5, 2014)

In Bound by Flame choices can shape everything and everyone around you. The decisions you make regarding yourself will not just influence future events, it will also divide your companions and allies. Besides that, you can gradually change your own appearance by accepting the demon’s offer. The more power you receive, the more demoniac your appearance will become. Indeed, it’s a role-playing game where decisions are meaningful and impactful, so choose wisely or you risk ending up with a story you didn’t wish for.

This game is also coming to the 360 and ps3 as well and I heard it's only $40.00. I certainly didn't see this game coming and I am certainly interested.

Re: Bound by Flame

After trade ins and picking up The Show I had enough left over to pay this off for 50 bucks so I'm going to get it. I'll make sure to give my impressions. I am all for RPGs with decisions influencing the overall game.

Re: Bound by Flame

Looking at some LP's on Youtube I just don't see me buying it until a little of a price drop. (50 on PS4) It doesn't look all that bad but not something I'd grab right away on PS4.

I really want a RPG on PS4 and good ones will come soon enough I hope.

Re: Bound by Flame

Yup, give me a decent sale and I'll probably pick it up.

Probably end up with it on PC first, even now it's already available for $25.

Re: Bound by Flame

Gamestop called me, I was able to pick this game up today. If I can take a break from the show I'll be giving impressions later.

Re: Bound by Flame

If you are looking for a game that has the next gen look and feel this isn't for you.

Combat reminds me of DA2 with a few more additions to it like dodging and parrying on your own. I'm enjoying the combat more than I expected to. I prefer the ranger approach more than the warrior approach.

Another note, the dialogue in this game has had me laughing at times. Some great lines.

End of prologue example:

Spoiler

You end up possessed by a demon and have flames coming out of you, you defeat a giant monster. Afterwards your crew comes up to you talking about what next, your character replies "Did anyone just see what I did to that big F'n monster?"

Re: Bound by Flame

I know this not your run to the store and buy type game but if you have a long weekend ahead of you, and you want to pick it up now, Gamestop has lifted the street date release with the publisher to release it. And this is for PS4, PS3, XB360 & PC.

There are three different skill trees, one for warrior, another for ranger, and the last for whatever the "mage" one is. There are also abilities like extra xp per kill that you can get through leveling up and doing certain things.

The thing that is interesting to me is the integration of crafting. You can craft potions, traps, or anything like that. You can also craft parts of your armor/weapons and whatever add ons you make or craft you can actually see it on your armor.
