WILL THE ALMIGHTY

I still think AP would have done much better if it had been more focused on a single type of gameplay. Letting people choose different combat styles just means more balancing and work. If the game had been entirely focused on stealth, it might have done better.

It's a great movie if you turn your brain off. Essentially it's about Hugh Jackman, who is the world's most badass man and his brother, who is less badass and thus jealous. Hugh Jackman goes on a quest to become even more badass and prove his manliness by doing things like riding motorcyles or lighting a trail of fuel on fire with his claws to explode a crashed helicopter while his brother is desperately trying to be more badass than him. There was something about X-men and an origin story about some guy named Wolverine in there, but Hugh Jackman's manliness was just too distracting for me to care.

The game has full voice acting. I never got the point of this, nobody cares about the acting/story in MMOs and the only effect it has on the game is wasting ressources and ultimately less content. It seems the only reason this is an MMO is to try and grab some more money.

KotOR 1 was a billion times more interesting.

That's what I was thinking too, we really have no idea how this game really looks.

Marburg scared the **** out of me when I first met him. That conversation at the caf

WHAT? I thought he just did some random CIA goons!

These sort of design choices would have been fine if the game hadn't been set in the modern world. Right now it just feels silly.

It would have been amazing, especially if you could have kept the tuxedo. Not to mention it's not the sort of mission where you can go around and clear the level of enemies... but you could start sweeping rooms with a shotgun.

The only problem I have with this game regarding guns is that there was no revolver.

Anyone notice the omega symbol on the boat at the end? Either it means the end of the game or it means there's an omega protocol on the way. EDIT: I don't think we need a cover system. I'd have enjoyed this game more if it had been a straight-up first person shooter.

Can't... get this song... out of my head.

Goddamnit, the hype is getting to me. I want this game NOW.

I loved WC3, but then DotA took over right as I joined the modding community. Oh well, at least some of my special effects made it into the current DotA build. I've moved on to League of Legends, which is amazingly addictive.

In all honesty, this doesn't mean much - these boards iare barely moderated. They don't need much mod attention either.

I wonder when was the last time I saw mkreku say something positive.

Space Combat. In Halo. This is just too good to be true, maybe their next game is going to be based on this sort of gameplay entirely. I'm even hoping this'll be a revival of the whole space sim genre. @Morgoth: Not to mention GlaDOS is reaching SHODAN levels of creepiness.

I didn't see this as a problem. Mike's sarcasm and glibness allowed him to remain relatively consistent despite the various dialogue options. Unlike past RPGs, where you're often free to bounce through an array of wildly different responses like a Magic Eightball of multiple personality disorder, all three of the dialogue stances seemed like plausible facets of the same personality. Mike might be a smug bastard, but within that personality is the potential for a wide emotive range - you can picture a smug bastard going hardass or softening up, depending on the situation. The alternative would be a relatively bland and occasionally bipolar blank slate (i.e. Commander Shepard). I agree with you To. The. Letter. Good review, really. I agree as well, I just hate the bastard anyway.

All hail our new overlord!

He pretty much nailed it, criticism and all. Mike is always a smug bastard.

Yes, this will definitely appease the FO purists.

Oh this'll be fun.

Oh, this is sad. My condolences to you and Michael's family. This is a pretty tragic loss.

No, only roughly 60%. The other 40% is shooters.
