"The last truly great NHL game was NHL 95." Nope. That's NHL 2008. NHL 95 and all other hockey games in history are absolute trash in comparison.

I ndon't hate 2KJ. I just thinkl their hockey socks comapred to EA's. 2K's basketball, on the other hand, is superior. "There is actually a rather fun and amusing "battle" between fans of both companies sports games with zealots on both sides, whose opinions can't really be taken seriously when you consider the absolute hatred for the other company." The best ones are the ones who go on the otehr game's site just to bash it. What a waste of energy. Just stay on your game's board. L0L P.S. I meant 1000s of games. Problem with 2K9 is that one of their 'BIG' features they're hyping is the ability to drive a zaboni inbetween periods. OMGZ! *must buy*

"NWN PW ALFA - This persistent world really captured my imagination and gave me a PnP experience I missed from High School" Ahh... So you are one of those actors who think role-playing = talking on a park bench with funny accents, and doing repetive quests. L0L Seriously, ALFA was a fun little PW; but it wasn't that good at role-playong. It's real strength was social chatting.

"So since you`ve allways believed in the prectice why cry bloody murder now when Russians are following suit? lol? See it works perfectly the same both ways... Round and round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows." Eh? I'm not defacto against 'regime change'. But, from what i've seen there's a huge difference between Saddam Hussein who slaughtered Iraqis, wasn't truly democratically elected by those he suppsoeldy represented, ruined his country, and wa sinvolved and multiple wars of his own doing and the Georgian president who was elected (as far as I know) by his fellow Georgians. *shrug* Plus, it reeks of hypocrisy on the Russian part sicne theyw ere against unilateral regime change. At least the Amerikans had support when going into Iraq - upwards of 50 countries actually. Russia has nobody else going in with them. Talk about unilateral. L0L R00fles! P.S. Of course, all countries can be hypocrites including my own. *shrug*

2K isn't even on my radar. I have already reserved, and paid for 09. I have played probably played 100s of games with 08, and 09 sound slike 'more of the same but better'.

So... Russai *does* believe in regime change based on force? K, then. I guess all their whining about Iraq was bull? Yup, it's as I thought. Yet, people seem to be shrugging their shoulders over this while theyw ere crying blooody murder when the US and others were doing it? L0L

"Which is the way it should be - Balors are supposed to be bad-assed mofos." Except the TOEE balor was easy.

Hilarious to see that a thread about a war between Russia and Georgie has its share of US bashing. LOL

"Their sports games are just that. Games. Not simulations. Games." Wrong. They may not be 'perfect' sims; but they are simulations. And, EA is awesome. And, they don't destroy companies. Those companies imploded by the greed and failure of their previous owners/creators. Sorry; but it's true. If BIo 'dies'; EA didn't destroy them. BIO did that when they 'sold out' (even if they had 'good reasons' to). Besides, BIO as a company doesn't really exist. At least not as a seperate entity, anyways. They're 'just' an overly large and somewhat 'independent' (for now) division of EA.

"What company? Have you read anything about this game? It was one guy, as I just told you." If he's trying to sell it; he's trying to make money. I believe you try to sell soemthing you shouldn't get freebies. And, yeah, you can do what you want. Not like I'm going to stop you. L0L You stated your piece, I'm stating mine. "I enjoy games in general." OMG! That's my point. That's why I buy games, too! WOWSERS! If you like the game Jericho, or think you will, good for you. I'm not opposed to that; but it be pretty sad if you bought it 'knowing' it would suck just because you want to be 'supportive'. Now, if you bought it becuase you thoguht you'd get enjoyment out of it and support good on you. But, don't you think one is better off 'supporting' game developers (be it a company or just one peon) if they make the games you'd like? *shrug*

TOEE, The Witcher, Gothic series, IWD2, Two Worlds (getting there), and many other unimportant ones...

"When you buy a game you are supporting the creators." Nah. Disagree. When you buy a game you do (and should) do it for your own selfish reasons. 'cause you think you'll enjoy the game. It's not my job to support money making enterprises like game devlopment. They do that themselves by making games customers want to play. "They were probably not too far away from qualifying for welfare when they created it" Comnpanies whose business is to make money and arne't making money shouldn't get welfare. I think government handouts to these companies are garbage. their jobs is to make a profit. if they can't do that, they should be out of business.

"Well, I figure $15 isn't exactly a huge amount to support an independant, creative endeavor like this. Even if it grows old fast, it's the kind of project I'm comfortable supporting from a financial end." You shouldn't be 'supporting' them. They're not on welfare. If you think you'll like the game buy it; if not don't. Just sayin'.

"Party members on the other hand (ala BG, KotOR) can have scripts (!!)" L0L but, no. BG series joinables are HENCHMEN. NWN OC joinables are EXPERT HIRINGS. NWN SOU/HOTU joinables are a mix of HENCHMEN and PARTY MEMBERS. Don't let BIO, and OBSIDIAN trick you with their delusional changing of actual D&D terminology.

Outside of that one game against Philly, the Giants weren't exactly getting a biion sacks per game. As you mentioned, good passrush doesn't neccessarily mean sack the QB all the time. The big reason why Favre threw that foolish intereption is he was trying to avoid the pass rush and hurried his throw.

Define 'handle'. The Giants' pass rush was effective that game. *shrug* As for the rankings... by the end of the season GB's OL stats won't be that impressive... Definitely not top 5.

"OL is a great pass-blocking unit (the only one that consistently handled the Giants' pass rush in the playoffs last year)." L0L But, no. They got skewled like everyone else.

Probably just interceptions wise since that's Favre's weakness.

As long as people keep repeating that Obsidian should stick with 'what they know' a billion times or MMOs suck, I'll return the favor.

QB is too important unless your D is as good as Chicago's was a few years ago (and, even then, their QBs had some great games). Roger has been overrated. People actually think he's better than Favre!!! LMAO

"If Obsidian went doing MMO who would do quality RPG with depth? There is not allot of them out there except for Bioware." Companies get created. BIO was a medical software company yet look at them now. *shrug* Obsidian was only created because of the failure of the Interplay division of BIS. *shrug*

I figure both teams will finish between 5-10 and 8-8, and miss the playoffs.

"Well, if some of you want to believe that these guys did nothing more than watch from a distance when those past games were in development, that's up to you." 'They' did what all publishers do. Take that as you will.

One dimensional AI that fcosues on one thing and that's it. ie. Enemies that will go directly towards one character (ie. mages) despite the fact it means giving up AOOs to like 3 other characters. the lack of magic using characters - espicially intelligent ones.. Only spellcaster battle worth anything is the one versus the bandits when you go through the backway of the temple. Otehrwise, bleh. Encounter design overall is just bland lacking creativity.

Your point being what? In a thread entitled 'your top 10 favorite games of all time'; of course it's gonna be subjective. Duh.
