Quick Look: The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav

Cool

Better late than never

looks neat

Never heard of this...

"I blow on my flute, and out comes the fairy - like clockwork"

I've never hear of this before, but judging strictly by the GB Wiki subtitle it sounds pretty cool.

It's Ryan and Vinny ....Sold

TO THE SNAIL

Little known fact: SATINAV was an early alternative to GPS. It was operational only in Yugoslavia, from 1982 to 1986.

Strange premise for a game. Definitely interested in this one!

Huzzah!

all the sex jokes from Ryan and Vinny, can't stop laughing

GUUURRRRLLL I wanna moss hog your hazel ferret.

Wow, ten seconds in and already Vinny breaking out the trouble. Love watching Ryan/Vinny doing Point-and-Clicks, they're always good fun. Game looks intriguing so far.

WHAT IS THAT ENDING?? lol

Absolutely love the art style, reminds me of a Vanillaware game like Odin Sphere or Muramasa.

But the story and dialogue is a bit.. excessively fantasy-like for my liking. Vinny and Ryan are the perfect duo to handle it though, absolutely fantastic. I shouldn't be laughing that hard at this.

Holy shit, I can't stop laughing!

The Dark Eye = German DnD

Basically. But the "German-style boardgame" version.

One for the ages!

The backgrounds are fantastic. But god damn what the hell is up with the incredibly stupid dialogue?

I'm going to mirror the other comments that this is a bit too serious fantasy for my taste. I'm still looking forward to their next game. It looks completely different in tone.

This is hilarious... Also I love the commentary. Finally a quick look that made me laugh hard.

Should we go into the vagina?

guys, nothing about this look polygonal.

@stinky: The character models look like they're sprites made out of pictures of polygonal models.

Second most annoying fairy ever?

Expecting at any moment for the main character to wake up from some peyote induced dream/coma/etc. Game would be much better with the commentary of Vinny & Ryan going through it as it takes itself just too freaking seriously.

Where are all the Sat Nav jokes!?

This will have to do.

Oh god the ending of this QL.

Drew is undoubtedly the best crew member after that ending. Fuck.

Art is really nice looking. Literally everything else about the game made me want to rip my brain out through my nose and throw it at a brick wall.

All of the whimsical flapdoodly language was just... fuck me, man.

Don't you get too close to me, you hack!

Yep, looking forward to Deponia; this game, however, looks so...dumb...

BEFE.

Oh god the ending XD

Goodness I didn't know they still made adventure games like this. I love adventure games, but these semi-serious high fantasy ones aren't my cup of tea. Glad it exists though.

Also, this Quick Look is one of the funniest in a long while. Great stuff. All Quick Looks should end to Electronica.

Haha, I had to pause the quick look at the end to make sure it was coming from the quick look. Paused it a second time just to make sure.

Don't you get to close to me, you hack!

lol @ the ending

Yeah I thought an ad started running somewhere or something

Beautiful looking backgrounds, awful everything else.

I haven't laughed at a Giant Bomb video this hard in a long time. Thank you so much.

OMG#!!! that endinggggggggggggggggggggg

I still, cannot stand dubstep.

debstep!

This game is absolutely stunning but it seems to lack that certain special ingredient adventure games have to have in order to me to actually play them for more than ten minutes.

I'm surprised to see that they had another take on "Das schwarze Auge" under a different name.

Some might be surprised that this old pen and paper RPG was turned into a videogame before, but under the name "Realms of Arkania".

On the one hand, I am surprised that they didn't try to revitalize the brand with a Dragon Age / Witcher like treatment and on the other it might just be an indicator that there was not a lot of confidence in bringing this back.

@louiedog: That looks... weird and oddly charming. I especially like the part at the end with the sonar.

Wub wub wub wub

The third German game this week on Giant Bomb. WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Nuri basically acts like:
