WILL THE ALMIGHTY

I didn't think we were that annoying. I haven't seen NS around much, have you? Honestly, I think she's just very busy.

Modern Warfare 2, if only for the singleplayer. It's about as actiony as it gets - but you should probably rent it and not buy it if you're only playing SP.

Multiplayer was handled by a different studio (Digital Extremes). The Singleplayer was done by 2K Marine, with support from Arkane studios (=double win). That sounds perfect, actually.

Looking forward to this one, hopefully they won't have focused too much on multiplayer and ignored the story/singleplayer.

I like the movie trailer style, but melodramatic much? It reminds me of the Matrix Revolutions trailer. Agreed. That was a bit *too* dramatic.

I really wouldn't call that a ripoff. You can see this twist in loads of other games/movies and it's really not the most important twist in the story.

No, its not. I don't even get how you can say that. Did we play the same game? All you have to do is run up to it and beat Big Daddies with a wrench. When they kill you, just run back and do it some more. There's nothing to be gained by being creative vs being thuggish and unimaginative. And the thuggish approach is faster and less resource intensive to boot. Defend Bioshock for its attempt at narrative if you want; don't defend it for its cruddy combat gameplay. edit: And I'll just point out that 2 small changes would have made Bioshock's combat a lot more interesting: 1) Make respawning in the vitachamber cost resources 2) Make all wounded enemies in the gameworld reset to full-health when the plcayer character respawns. Suddenly it's a much different game, combat-wise. What I meant is it's only fun if you get creative. I know Vita-Chambers suck, I even said so, and to make the game fun you really have to avoid them. We played the same game, I just decided not to rely on Vita-Chambers and play the game the way I wanted to. Remove the Vita-Chambers and the combat is great. How do SS2 and Bioshock have the same story or plot twist? Bioshock pretty much ripped off SS2 on a lot of gameplay elements, that much I agree with, but they didn't copy the story. How does

I did it, multiple times. Pumped up on wrench strength, studied the big daddy through photos, and also if I recall correctly put something to shock him, and whack away. Of course it works much better for gun wielding Daddys. ... were you trying on Hard? EDIT: Ah, I guess it works a lot better if you electrify him. Nevermind. I don't know what you mean. The story was fantastic, not to mention the writing and acting were great. Well... until the "third act meltdown", I guess.

Beating bid daddies is all about how creative you are with the combat. I love it. Hack some turrets/drones and lure him in, enrage some other splicers to attack him, stick 6 mines on an explosive barrel and throw it at him with telekinesis, stick mines and electric traps in a line so he runs into them, etc... Bioshock's combat was at its best when you experimented and decided not to use any weapons directly, but the vita-chambers made it all too easy and boring. Although no matter how much you boost the wrench you're never killing a Bid Daddy with it. I tried.

Best review in a while.

Now at the "Sea of Lost Souls". Words are inadequate to express my hate towards the ship-controlling vessel.

Thanks, playing Homeworld 1 right now. It's... very slow paced. This is a good thing though, I'm terrible at making quick decisions in RTS games, except for the fact I'm still getting my ass kicked constantly. Also I think I'll try to find a high res patch and something to fix the weird framerate.

I'm sure AvP will feature lots of that.

I agree, but we should have a Volourn thread, simply because there is much to discuss about/with him.

Is this a good time to show my hate for Half-life again? No, shush! Back to your ice cave. Funny enough, last time I brought it up, most of the forum agreed and said and it was nothing special.

Quick, Obsidianites, Homeworld 1 or 2?

Is this a good time to show my hate for Half-life again?

It's the tip of the lips. Every female Shepard lips had that and it drives me insane.

Cool, I just wish I could have killed everything period.

She looks awfully pale TBH.

Too bad her face is weird.

Well those are just fantastic.

Hey, I just want a 50 cal sniper. Silence if you want, but nothing beats long range assassination.

Please do not make Tali romanceable. There are so many other places this character could go that would be much more interesting.

Ah, I see.
