You missed one.

Bond, Bauer, Bourne... and Bartowski?
Austin Powers option, please.

Lost Odyssey had 5 hours of awesomeness and the rest was mostly awful JRPG clich

Ubisoft DRM confirmed to boot you from your singleplayer game when the net drops out
Pretty much the entire piracy debate in three panels.

Idea on how to "fix" the mining system: have it scan planetwide on default, but not detect anything. Then, as you scan a more precise area the sensitivity of the mining sensor goes up until you can clearly make out the exact location of the ressources and send a probe. Makes it less "combing the planet" and slightly more of a puzzle. As for combat... have defensive and offensive abilities on different cooldowns. Defensive abilities being shield bonuses, pull/singularity powers and ammo powers, and offensive abilities being anything used to deal damage.

In this case I'd just buy the game and then crack it. There really is no point to submit to this bull****.

Yahtzee reviews
Felt more like a review than a something that was supposed to be funny. I don't mind it, I guess.

Hunters from Halo are basically a bunch of insects that act as a Hivemind. Amorphous blobs... eh, the Hanar fit the role enough. TBH, I just want to talk to a colossus.

I wasn't aware Hanar could wear clothes. I'd post a Drell/Vorcha to make this even worse, but I can't find a picture, and whatever naked Asari pictures I find are probably NSFW.

No quarians, sorry, but I really hope they look more like this: Also here's a salarian for your viewing pleasure. Also, apparently Elcors are powerful and large enough to carry weapons used on Alliance military vehicles. Now *that* is something I want to see in Mass Effect 3. Blasto the Hanar can go cry in a corner - an Elcor Spectre would just keep a tank cannon on him, much more badass.

Got a look at this on the ME Wiki... and now I can't stand looking at Garrus. This is one sex scene that should simply not be animated. EDIT: Also, if Bioware wanted to make a more "alien" race, they could have just gone with something gigantic yet sentient and definitely no humanoid.

Supreme Commander 2
There are cannons which "shoot" your troops across the battlefield. These troops are 10-feet-tall robots at the very least. Seems like it's taking a weird direction, and honestly it never was all that good of an RTS.

But it's not Total Annihilation 2, so it has to suck.

FO:NV: The Return of Gameplay Mechanics Discussion
I liked her, alright? Her surviving the nuke was just plain hilarious to me. Personal opinion, I guess. I can definitely see why everyone else wants to rip her heart out.

Tiberian Sun & Firestorm
Engineers.

FO:NV: The Return of Gameplay Mechanics Discussion
I loved Moira. She really was awesome, nothing amazing, I know, but I found her hilarious.

I think they simply decided on humanity because they're apparently "genetically superior to other species", which could make sense. Overall, the main plot in ME is just silly.

Choices in terms of story, I guess.

I loved Tiberian Sun. It was awesome.

Outraged about what? I want to avoid spoilers, you know.- I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite thread on Obsidian
Really, we just need a new name for this particular genre. Action RPG doesn't cut it - ME2, Deus Ex, both seem to be in this category of games and arguing whether they're more RPG or shooter is getting tiresome.- I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite thread on Obsidian
Ammo powers on the fly for soldiers made sense - what else could they have for powers? But I agree, this is something I would have liked as an upgrade. You could level up the different ammo types with ressources, somewhat like you build up weapon damage and upgrades, and you'd have to choose an ammo type before the mission for each squad member. Soldiers would have all of the special ammo as powers (and they would be somewhat more powerful I guess). Also, please bring back explosive ammo.- I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite thread on Obsidian
Agreed. It's too easy to upgrade every weapon, there's not much choice involved. IMO, they should just copy Deus Ex's weapon upgrades. As for Biotics and Tech... Increased flame damage? Longer stun? You could get pretty creative with these, since these are pretty much spells. - Bioshock 2
