Transformers general
Someting tells me you weren't going to like the movie regardless of what was done. Easy, ditch the productplacement, the AWESUM references military equipment, stupid technology-errors + 50% human screentime and i would've liked it. And Paul Verhoeven should've directed it. Come, now. You were looking for things to complain about. Product placement in a huge summer blockbuster movie? Big effing deal. Did it make you feel you had to go out and buy any of those things? Doubt And complaining about technology "errors" in a movie about giant transforming robots from space seems a bit nitpicky. You wanted these things to distract you from liking the movie. Admit it. Again, easy. I haven't seen a "Summer blockbuster" since Armageddon, and there sure wasn't nearly as much productplacement there as in this movie. I remember none of it. Also, it's really disingenious and stupid since it breaks the fourth wall between the viewer and the movie itself. Yes, technology in a Transformers movie shouldn't be much of an issue if it wasn't as blatantly stupid as in this one. Christ, admit what? That i can see crap for what it is? The original movie from 1986 was way better than this, but maybe i am too nostalgic. Action-movies in general has gone from hilariously bad, with some exception, such as Die Hard 1, in the 1980's to just irritatingly stupid. Or maybe it's because Michael Bay has done the "biggest" lately.

Sorry, sarcasm-detector wasn't working today. No worries, i just used Starship Troopers as an exaggerate example to get my point through

Watch Starship Troopers. He knows on how to make a movie out of cheezy material. I don't expect someone like Ridley Scott or James Cameron to have done a better Transformers.

What game would you rather see Obsidian work on
First, finish off KotOR III, then i wouldn't mind a new Vampire or Cyberpunk RPG.

A PC version will be released, my best best is 6-8 months after the Xbox360 release.

morality question no. 1157
This depends on what drugs you buy. I know a certain someone who likes to smoke some green. He buys it from a guy who sells it to finance his hippie-life (playing with his prog-band in bars for the rest of his life), who in turn buys the seeds from Holland where owning seeds is legal. What terror and destruction did he finance again? Or are we only talking about hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin and meth here?

Necrophilia aside, i liked Fahrenheit. Heavy Rain seems to be the step in the right direction as well--->Necrophilia in HD!

How much have you changed?
I am certainly of the opinion that a lot of disagreements come down to the premises on which a view is based, more than the internal logic. At least between smart people. I don't know if that's what you mean. Smart people know the underlying logic behind the argument and they can also read between the lines of the other's rhetoric. But are all Obsidian posters that smart? Otherwise every discussion and debate would be pretty civil around, would it not? Hell, i even fail to understand the point of the argument sometimes Shut up, poopie-head.

How much have you changed?
I have learned that most Internet-fights don't start by people having radically different views on life and politics, it's more in terms of failure to communicate properly due to cultural differences and difficulties expressing yourself properly as well.

Anime recommendations
Some of you have mentioned "Darker than Black", while i am not too lazy to "google it, mother*****", i want to hear fellow Obsidian-animeholics take on it

Ninja Gaiden Black
Does NG:Sigma have the same options as NG:Black for voiceacting? I.e, one can change from the hideous english voiceacting to japanese with english subtitles.

New stuff on F3
Sounds like someone got their girlfriend stolen from a though, badass alphamale, who happened to be a Fallout-fan. Or better yet, the guy was involved in Fallout: Tactics or Brotherhood of Steel and was crushed when the fans ignored/publicly hated it.

New stuff on F3
Okay, let's say for a second that groin shots doesn't exist, the children have vanished and mini-nukes are everywhere for everyone to use, toasters shooting barbieheads are considered as weapons. But what i don't understand is non-drivable cars powered with nukes for our exploding pleasure, how does that fit in exactly? Where there nuclear powered cars before the great blast? Isn't Fallout based on that the nukes where dropped in the 50's? What?

Chris Avellone posted a year ago that he wasted 2 years of PnP for planning, optimizing and testing gameplay for an eventual sequel for Fallout 2. Not funny.

Discussing minigames, killable children, groin damage and immersion is redundant, since everyone who has posted in this thread will buy Fallout 3 anyway
