1. Metal Gear Solid* Spyro games (1, 2, 3) Syphon Filter I & II (maybe 3 too, dunno) Ape Escape Final Fantasy IX (VII and X sucks *****) Medievil (1 & 2, esp. 2) Tekken 3 Tenchu 1 & 2 Resident Evil 2 & 3 Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy VI Crash Bandicoot(s) GTA 2 Driver 2 Dino Crisis And propably bazillion other titles I don't remember. Ape Escape was my first PSone game and it still is my favourite platform game You'd do better with buying PS2 though, games got on average a lot better *even if you dislike later installations in the series this is ace game My top picks would propably be: 1. Metal Gear Solid 2. Syphon Filter II 3. Tekken 3

I get it, it's funny because he's black? Black people sure are funny. Blacks! blacks being mad for KFC and watermelons = racial stereotype hilarious racial stereotype being oh so well fitting in this case = epic lulz

Except you get to kick ass of Arthas himself Only difference would be trivial - you control one character or platoon. In WoW you don't play as some random foot soldier. You go on and kick ass of Kel Thuzad and like, obvious core characters and enemies of the setting just like in RPG. Only difference is there are millions others doing the same thing. MMO players don't want to have nothing IMPORTANT to do. In Guild Wars your actions and importance is just as vast as in single player RPG. same with WoW. Your ragtag bunch of players does all the same stuff your hero and NPC party would. As I said difference would only be trivial. And Battleground system or whatever it is called is quite advanced. I'm not sure if it lets you to command AI characters fighting but YOU and your FRIENDS are the key of quests, shaping the world, saving plot critical characters (like millions of others), investigating strange ruins (like millions of others), kicking bad mofos asses (like millions of others) etc. ONLY difference is that in MMO it all is utterly meaningless. But that doesn't change core nature of game's important missions. Besides, the Battlegrounds system (based on which you refer MMO characters as foot soldiers) is not integral to main storyline quests and raids which players are doing all the time. No, WoW retconned whole Warcraft mythos and added bazillions of new stuff. And you don't play as mere "foot soldier" if you don't want to, you get to change the whole world, defeating slumbering Ancient Gods (stolen from Lovecraft btw) rising from depths of earth... untill mission resets to next party that is. again you're confusing battleground skirmishes and small time missions with BIG storyline quests and raids that are ever present in MMO's. Especially in games like LotR Online and Guild Wars difference in main character's importance (in comparison to single player PC) is near to null. You save the world in MMO's too. It is completely meaningless but you do it. You really think MMO players would be happy with merely standing by and not doing anything important? I find this whole deal with you guys trying to squeeze out the hellhole kotor has fallen in rather humorous as your misconceptions about MMO story and quest structures

Who dares to say racial stereotypes aren't right? Bwahahahahahaaa :lol: :lol: that made my day

I have that DVD somewhere It was rather good actually. Not brilliant but certainly good

The game's story as it ended in Frozen Throne was retconned and continued in entirely different form in WoW. In WoW there's a lot storyline missions (and more comes with updates) that directly continue the main story. Now with upcoming Wrath of the Lich King gamers are going to get in the epic battle with Arthas and his armies, the biggest looming threat and obvious main plot point left after Frozen Throne. The thing is if WC4 ever gets made (and WoW has already postponed it with many years if not for forever) - I'd like to have sauce for that "I've heard" stuff - it'll have to start from entirely new point, maybe even hundred years forward from WC3. In Kotor franchise that equals to restarting whole franchise. Unless the MMO focuses on Mandalorian Wars (which is less likely for couple of reasons) it'll take place in True Sith war, which is essentially core of K3. If K3 later gets made it is entirely new game with different timeline, characters etc.

heh, indeed

Uhh, so you haven't watched it yet? I for one am waiting for reviews. Trailer didn't impress me and they don't deal with year 2012

Awsum

Wait, you didn't? No way, that's like claiming earth is flat

You do know WoW replaced any plans for Warcraft IV, right?

Yeah yeah Volo we've heard that hundred times Core of the Obz, as well as their developing ideals and such similar stuff, are directly from Black Isle days. You could say OE is Black Isle reincarnated

oh wait that was from March. This however is from May

Well, reportedly if SoZ sells well there'll be NX3 with 90 % certainty However the game's not shipped yet (which is main reason why I just don't shrug my shoulders and consider it as NX3) so why would they start it already...? I also found out that interview is from March - time when both SoZ and AP were unnanounced so I was right, yay Most curious...

huh? BIS didn't do MMO's

I guess some of you have seen it before but woah, that cover kicks ass

Same with me It might've been case in earlier versions... but nowadays commands work fine

Well, I only talked about dialogues edit: Is it just me or did Bloodline's just take Morte's "what's up chief" and changed that simply to boss for Gary?

Frank Black - Ole Mulholland

And I for one just finished replaying PS:T It is still utterly undefeatable, though great chunks of KotOR 2 and Bloodlines gives it good challenge. MotB is fantastic too. oh, and how could you NOT mention Fat Larry?

Yeah, I kinda figured it out

Boring? Really? Big fan of theirs, my favorite group. Their first 4 albums compete with anyones. Nobody Fault - Off the Rocks album. Of course I've only listened to couple of songs by them but I like just making **** up The Beatles - Sexy Sadie

Well, happy news for ya Sharen! It is still extremely unlikely, but. Sauce Now, I have no idea when this interview was done, however Obz currently has three projects going on: NWN2: SoZ Alpha Protocol Aliens RPG Now, both of those were clearly unannounced when this interview was made. Other one of those games is of course Alpha Protocol HOWEVER Avellone is NOT lead designer of SoZ This means Avellone acts as Lead Designer for some unannounced title, it being project which this thread about, that is propably in pre-production currently. Now WHAT would be title important enough for MCA to jump in to get LD status for yet another project in addition to AP that's his current full-time project? Only title I see as possible is Kotor 3. MCA has longed for making it since K2. Still, that is very unlikely and that could NWN2: Expansion Pack 3 just as likely

I recently had an argument with young lad who maintained, perfectly seriously, that Genesis were better than Aerosmith. And he won amirite? I do not think you have ever been more wrong. Dude, I don't even like Genesis much. But at least they aren't total borefest that is Aerosmith's hard rock *yawn* Pixies - Where is my Mind (Live)
