Lyric Suite

Well, the developers of WAR said their game will have "no grinds, period", and "loot - yes, nutty itemization - no" (actual quotes). Not sure what to make of this, the devs seems to have a lot of confidence in this game, i hope for their sake they know what they are doing...

I prefer the Torment soundtrack myself...

Whoa. I'm pre-ordering...

Some of my friends never pre-loaded Half Life 2 until the last day. It wasn't pretty...

Nothing wrong with conventions, it's the execution that matters. Remembering Half Life (since the dev brought it up in the interview), the game greatest strengh lied not in the innovations introduced (albeit the game DID redefine the genre), but it was based on the fact many of the conventional elements of the genre up to that point were masterfully excecuted. After playing WoW for almost 6 months, i learned a lot about what goes on in those games, and i must confess some people have really odd expectations when it comes to MMORPGs and often times many of the things people want are just not that easy to implement given the scope of those games. For starters, the basic concept behind a game like WoW is very similar to Diablo (for all intended purposes they already made their Diablo 3), and that's already a daunting task in and of itself, and still that is only your starting point. Blizzard didn't go very far from there, nobody has. Ultima Online is still the benchmark of what is possible with those games, and i'm not sure the current state of the industry will allow for anything more. That said, focusing on making the basic convetions fun is still a worthy goal, and that's what Mystic seems to be doing with this game. If i ever wish to try a MMORPG again, their game seems like a decent pick, if anything...

Fun From what I saw of it, before the site went down, it'd use a kind of "radiant AI" (woooo catchphrase for the month of april) to handle monster spawns. Plus it used a "job system" like the PnP game. Neither of which sounds like 'fun' to me. Infact, they sound very 'Oblivionish', which is the antithetis of fun as far as i'm concerned. Also, from what i remember the original game had uber realistic graphics , which also i couldn't care less about...

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setview...52/page/2/from/ When i first heard of this game i automatically assumed it was going to be yet another mindless MMORPG, but reading this interview perked my interest a bit. It actually sounds like it could be a good game...

Eurogamer is a good site, but i'm still mad at them for giving Oblivion a 10/10.

Heh: http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=...et&word2=Sawyer

Loved Rise of Nations. I shall try this at once...

Naaa, it's decent enough. At least until Dark Messiah arrives...

Well, so far Oblivion seems very good as an FPS, very poor as an RPG, rather unpolished in certain areas.

^ Yes...

PC...

Rant generator?

What's with the crappy pop music in the second video?

Fair enough. I urge anybody to wait until this game gets thrown in a bargain bin before buying it, so that Bethesda can learn that lesson as well...

^ Most people seem to be obsessed with japanese arsenal. Personally i can't stand any of it. The first time i loaded Oblivion and saw the guards were wearing a katana on their side i wanted to puke...

Have you ever seen any of Giger's art?

I used to be a Dio fan and i still listen to his music... :ph34r:

The stupidity of the gaming press never fails to astound. Ho yeah, the henchmen already had their OWN stories. That is so beyond amazing you can only improve on technical aspects... "

Less overing around with the mouse. All you have to do is move down and to the left. Plus, people are already used to it from using windows...

Damn it, the anime weapon style is coming back. I hate that huge, spikey ****, why can't i have a real looking sword?
