egad, I lol'd No Metallica 4 my guitar epics Well, maybe Enter Sandman but only that. Less stuff after 70's on my guitarz list the better. Heck, how could I forgot Fripp/King Crimon's Red? It's best rock instrumental ever! Jeff Beck - A Day In Life edit: also some Mark Knoppfler/Dire Straits. ...as I said, horrible job.

The rushedness showed in most quests in Imperial City being really underdeveloped and boring. The Lotus Academy was just a retread of the Sith Academy from KOTOR, and they had to resort to even a second academy! Plus you had the arena which took up the bulk of the time there. Also if you look at the world map, it's similar to maps in other Bio games, but this one only has 2 locations, with there really being no point to traveling between them. Clearly there were originally supposed to be more locations, but they got cut. And what weak area in HL2? Uhh, that's called Standard Bio Developing It had nothing to do with "rushing". Hell, Bio games are not rushed Imperial City is chockful with different missions, theater, battle circle, two masters fighting for control of school, the "western" ****...

how did this rushedness show? JE is many things, but being rushed isn't one of them That's like blaming weak area in HL2 as rushedness

yeah, as you might've noticed since I didn't make any other mentions on it I gave up on the idea Well, it already managed to have: David Gilmour/Pink Floyd*: Dogs Sheep Coming Back to Life Money Run Like Hell (preferrably Live version) And from his solo material: Take A Breath Jimi Hendrix: Fire All Along the Watchtower Voodoo Child (THE GREATEST GUITAR SONG EVER) Little Wing Freedom Purple Haze Night Bird Flying Crosstown Traffic Manic Depression Highway Chile Machine Gun From George Harrison/The Beatles I Want You (She's So Heavy) Pixies/Joey Santiago: Debaser Wave of Mutilation Number 13. Baby Dead From Frank Black: Ole Mulholland Freedom Rock From Slash/GNR: Welcome to the Jungle Sweet Child O Mine Eric Clapton/Whatever band he plays in; Layla Sunshine Of Your Love This was as far as I got before I realized the idea was utter madness (and I hadn't got on to Van Halen, Jimmy Page et al AT ALL yet!!!!) Anyway: Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe *I didn't want to include Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb, Echoes etc. other Gilmour's guitar skills masterpieces like those because they would've breaken the mood by being so goddamn beautiful instead of RAWWR LETS RAWK

Frank Black - Ole Mulholland my favourite Black song

Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

Jimi Hendrix - Fire

Guns N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle moar guitar epicness hmm, this is it. I shall make and burn album cleverly named GUITAR EPICZ

Frank Black and the Catholics - Blast Off kickass guitar epic

Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free

ermm what that's way wrong analogy

Jimi Hendrix - Bold As Love

I think I mentioned earlier that anyone with this belief is clearly under 25. Or a virgin.

Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing I just got Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix OH YEAH

The Beatles - Penny Lane

Ranger, I'll write answer tomorrow unless someone else first writes why D&D is superior as turn based That had nothing to do with it really, the story is what set's those two games apart. Plus the music, voice acting, production, design, art direction........ and gameplay and stability. Why I brought IWD1 up is because I knew that apologists would rise up to defend Troika with arguments like "they weren't given enough time!", "Atari ****ed them over!" and similar.

You mean the NWN2 OC? The slideshow? oh dear. That was a painfully uninspired ending. It seemed to scream, "Sorry, we're out of money." The battle slideshow before with Nasher was painful too. Why not cutscenes? I know people here tsk tsk Bio for using them too often. But if there's ever times story-wise for a cutscene over a monologue, it's to heighten the dramatic tension of the plot right before the end-game and to provide closure to the story at it's conclusion. If we could have a cutscene before the duel in Act2, why couldn't we have had them there, where they made much more sense? The slideshows gave off a terribly familiar feeling (for those of us who played TSL) of 'lack of finish' to the NWN2 OC. Slideshow at end to show consequences of your actions is ancient BIS/OE trademark that has been present since Fallout. poolofpoo was being clearly sarcastic though because narrating was horrible. And Nasher clip wasn't cutscene for obvious reason; GAME COULDN'T HAVE HANDLED IT Remember resource hogness of NWN2's engine

Yeah, Revolver is da awesome. Though Abbey Road is their best. hehehe David Gilmour - Terrapin (Live) Great acoustic cover of one of Crazy Diamond's best tunes

MGS4 is basically fan product - if you're fan you love it, if not...well, you might still think it is great but plot nonsensical. Or then you hate it. I'd recommend MGS1 (psone) and MGS3 (ps2), they're best ones in gameplay. I have special place in my heart for MGS2 but it isn't as great game as those two. Try MGS3 and see if you like it. If you like it get MGS1. Then MGS2. Yes, you must've played all 3 before MGS4

The Beatles - She Said She Said Best song on Revolver

R.E.M. - It's End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) yay

Juice Leskinen - Ei El

I made it into Temple after Moathouse, Nulb and the beginning town. Can't remember how far though, propably not too because I was already utterly bored with game. IWD2 is vastly superior game though (and I have never before heard rule change was forced in IWD2 - and I've never heard ToEE was going to use 2E before either) And why should I cut it slack just because it used new engine?

oh, sorry Is hell no firm enough answer?

yet at the same time utterly newb team manages to make IWD1 even in clearly shorter time, game vastly superior to Troika's big title in every possible way. Game's failure was Troika's fault just like vanilla NWN2's shortcomings were OE's fault, not Atari's edit: heck, IWD1 team alone annihilates all excuses from Troika's part. They just sucked at designing that game.
