WILL THE ALMIGHTY

... um, how do you know that?

Giving XP for kills pretty much make stealth obsolete, or at least an option no one will take. It pretty much forces the player to go on a murderous rampage instead of sneaking to be able to advance in skills and the like. It might also make immersion less successful.

The life and death (mostly death) of Jar Jar Binks.

You can stop using sarcasm now Volo. ... you've been using sarcasm all along, right? Right?

That was my 20 second worry right there. I'm sure they'll pull off a hybrid well, but I wonder how much RPG will be left in the actual game. I'm all for real-time combat, but I like seeing heavy RPG elements in action RPGs.

Doesn't Batman have some sort of antihero other than the Joker? As in, a nega-batman?

I'm still really disappointed by this. I would really like to be able to have each player be one member of the squad; including Cole and Baird. I'm not sure why they wouldn't include it in the game but maybe dev costs are too high. There was an interview about why it was limited to 2 player campaign. They had a perfectly good explanation: the campaign isn't designed for 5 players. It moved too fast and became too easy. You'd be picking up weapons and skip right next to the cinematic. 2 player is perfectly reasonable.

I just replayed Kotor 2 in time from a save where I got to experience a Darth Sion scene and the Jedi Academy scene with Kreia near the end. These have got to be the best moments in RPG gaming yet. I'm serious, the Jedi Academy scene was incredibly emotional and deep, not to mention Kreia is the most interesting RPG character I've ever encountered. Also, I like how every single person on your ship has presonality and lots of things to say, while also having some very interesting stuff to find out about them by earning influence (a great idea which lacked polish). The whole game wasn't run by a single choice like the previous Kotor or Mass Effect, and the endings felt entirely different though they implied the same locations. The combat was only ruined by the enormous amount of lag on the Xbox. This reminds me that pretty much the only Western RPGs to come out these days are action RPGs, while these semi-turned-based RPGs with d20 rules were perfectly fine and were a lot of fun anyway. This is why I really want a Kotor 3. Because it's been a while since I've played a game with d20 rules that worked well.

Well, uh... that IS a pretty big bonus.

That's because it's *not* an RPG. I have to agree here, if BF2 is an RPG then we've made the definition too vague... which I think we're already doing.

There is no MAKO in AP, if that makes anyone feel better. *cries tears of joy* Though I would have settled for a helicopter.

I escape by jumping through the window... ignoring the fact zombies do not jump. I procede to try and organize the zombie movement. Predicted result: success in 2367.8674 years.

Hey, if they can make a petition to change Diablo 3's art style, we can make a petition to stop another franchise from being milked!

Yeah that's great. What you guys don't seem to get though is we've been waiting for Kotor 3 for 5 ****ING years or at least some sort of news of its development, and now they decide to make a ****ing MMO of a singleplayer game. Nobody wants this, nobody should want this.

No. Bioware has a focus on party RPGs. No, it has a serious z-axis phobia. Like they didn't want to implement decent vertical physics and controls.

It sounds like an awful game, honestly.

Lame. Think of something new please.

Pretty much. Warcraft 3 had some RPG elements, and RPG maps were quick to appear. That gives them a head start.

There's one support wall in every house at best, and even then you never have any reason to blow it up, seeing as you'll be blowing the exterior walls all the time.

Hilariously bad.

You're confusing it with the Ninja Army. Though they might be ninjas.

I swear, they're making a secret society.

You've been Thunderstruck! EDIT: I writhe in pain at how awful that pun was.

/gasps in a zombie fashion. (it sounds lik GRRRRRRRRRARARHGH, but deeply perplexed and confused)

"We're gonna educate the **** out of you."
