When playing ROTT, do any of you care about the score you get at the top or are just playing the game to play the game and don't really care about getting all the score items and such?

I try to collect as much as I can but I'm not massively concerned with the score itself. I'm more interested in finding secrets and gathering lives. I count the lives more as a score thing for some reason. Maybe because the big number at the top doesn't really count for much until the end of the game...

What about you? Smile

Hmmm, I replied to this but it never appeared.

For me, score in ROTT is about as useless as "extra lives".
The only thing close to "score" that I might care about it obtaining bonuses...

Do you actually actively go for the bonuses or are you just pleased when you see what you've got at the end of the level?

The only bonus I actively go for the first time I play a level is finding all the "secret walls". Or maybe the one you get for killing all enemies (forget what it's called). The other bonuses? Meh.

I sometimes try to go for points, it usually depends on the day. Some days I feel like collecting, other I feel like killing or finding secrets.

I was just wondering as would it interest anyone to try and create a hall of fame type thing for points collecting? See which one of us could get the most points for certain levels and such.

A top 5 Hall of Fame sounds good to me. I've got an idea (nothing big!). I'll get back to you. Smile

I'm damn care about get scoring...

Not in DarkWar(because it's not a good scoring levels for me) but on HUNTBegins.

I was played HUNTBegins over and over(from whole E1 and two E2 levels, then before exit E1A7/E2A2, use \gtl to go back E1A1 and start all over again) when I was about 13 or 14...

I remember I got about 10 millions score, it was taken about 1-2 years...

But the savegame file disappears after my old 504MB HDD dead... damn... :3

I don't really care much for the score but it doesn't mean I won't try to get all the secrets in a level.

Heh, this likely will be one of the things on our "to-do list" as we've still got quite a bit up our sleeves Wink
