Dracula Origin vs Overclocked

Henke · 12-02-2008, 05:22 PM

Which is the best game of the two?

Keregioz · 12-02-2008, 11:54 PM

I really don't think there can be a comparison between these two games. Overclocked is infinitely better...

Definitely Dracula Origin. Unless you are fond of voice recording

Well now... We have one-on-one... I didn't play any of these two games, and I would like to hear some more opinions about these two games

I don´t think it´s possible to compare them, but if i had to, the answer could only be OVERCLOCKED!!!!

I know it caused mixed emotions, but it did exactly what i personally like to see in an adventure game, mature storytelling, a great maincharacter and a captivating atmosphere.
Puzzles surely could have been harder, but i really don´t mind that, since i was very happy with the other aspects ( that are more important to me anyway).

As far as Origin goes, it´s surely something for those that love to solve 10.000 puzzles and don´t need a story, since i couldn´t find more than 5 minutes of story fragments that served as an alibi for all the puzzles.

Overlocked, of course. While it's more of interactive movie, it is professionally written and offeres some really interesting ideas. Origin, from the other hand, is stupid and poorly designed.

Its very hard to compare one game vs another as better. What I can say is that I enjoyed Overclocked much more than Dracula Origin

Henke · 12-03-2008, 05:03 PM

Overclocked is currently taking the lead.

I tried the demon of both games and thought that both had pretty stiff characters. But Origin had some really great puzzles and Overclocked had some interesting ideas going. I'll just let the poll decide my future purchase.

Dracula Origin wasn't a great game, a big disappointment.

buddi · 12-04-2008, 10:08 AM

I didn't like either game much but I think Overclocked wins out over Dracula Origins in all categories.

cwapitm · 12-04-2008, 10:12 AM

Overclocked was a lot better than Dracula Origin. Dracula Origin was a big disappointment for me.

Krystal · 12-04-2008, 01:09 PM

I only have play Dracula Origin's demo and like it but have to vote with Overclocked that I have play and love. I find Dracula Origin's demo great but haven't decide to play the game yet before others that I'm more interested to play.

Lee in Limbo · 12-09-2008, 09:19 AM

I haven't played either game, but I'm waiting to play Overclocked, despite the somewhat mixed reviews and the comments about the technical stuff that disappointed some. So far I've read nothing about Dracula: Origins that sounds like a game I'm eager to play.

I would like to say though that I'm a little surprised at how many people chose Overclocked over Origins. I would have thought the lack-of-puzzles thing in Overclocked would have been a deal breaker for a lot more people.

I will have to make time to play that game soon.

Dracula's interface was apalling, so I choose Overclocked.
