Its exacty the same things. Britney Spears extremely dumbed-down but catchy tunes appeal to people in the same eay that Diablos simplistic gameplay does. Face it, most people are dumb and completely lack taste, they will listen to whatever catches their fancy at the moment and play whatever game offer an hour worth of mindless timewasting. I mean, just because people eat millions of hamburgers each week it doesnt mean theyre the crown of creation as far as food goes <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it's not. I was never discussing whether or not the game was smart or difficult to play, but whether or not it's an RPG. Most people are also what drive the market. We're the odd and unusual ones, not them.

Then I guess many of those old gold box games you claimed to have played (and championed as being the good old days of RPG gaming) aren't RPGs either.

I enjoyed Toreador. I'd suggest Malkavian for the second playthrough.

SS2 came first <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Umm... That is what predecessor means... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, my reading skills were off. Spiritual is often followed by successor, so while quickly reading it over that's how I read it.

Now, you are just being silly. They can be made adaptable to them. And how much does a keyboard cost like 20 bucks? lol Here is a link for our skeptical friend. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're the one being silly. Nartwark's point that console's don't come with CDs is a very valid one. Especially seeing as that $20 price tag suddenly makes an $80 game a $100 game. Besides, you should be happy....the Pirates! remake made it on to the XBOX. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Huh? Who is talking about CDs here. You mean keyboards? Sorry but $20 for a keyboard is chump change for all the games you want on a console. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whoops, I meant keyboard. Chump change? In your opinion perhaps. This argument doesn't fly with the DVD argument, and it won't fly for keyboards either. There has to be a large variety of games to effectively take advantage of it before it will become a popular purchasing decision.

How cliche. Besides, taste is subjective. It's not like we're saying she's not really a singer.

But that just means the majority of people are somehow inferior to us or something, right?

I enjoyed diablo.

No World Games? That's ok...I didn't have summer games

OMGOMGOMOGM I still have yet to play the first one, though the demo was fun.

Some of the making of stuff is pretty cool, as is the skating bonus game that can be unlocked :D

Athlon64 3500+ 1GB of RAM Radeon 9800 Pro 160 GB SATA Seagate 250 GB SATA that I never bothered checking the model since I got it for free

Hehe, good ol' Hacky-sack. The Jester was hard to do! There was the rollerskating, though that one sucked IMO. The surfing one was my favourite though. There was also the discus. I played it on the Apple II though. I was a big fan of Winter Games and World Games (no wiki ) though.

She's in the medical clinic, right at the very beginning of the game.

You can't complain about Tyler and . Because that decision is all yours.

Yes! I remember: ... Errr, for all those fellow rock-climbers and adrenaline junkies ... :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I loved the South Park where the scene had the South Park priest brave the dangers of the Vatican basement to find some old holy artifacts. The scene was just a play scene from pitfall. :D

The only version I played was on the 3DO. It was good times.

I didn't mind the control scheme actually. After a while I was able to perform the actions while still watching the actual action on the screen, which made it seem a bit more cinematic. Also, the simon says reaction, particularly the last one or two sequences, typically made sense for what your character was doing. For example, when it had you pushing down, your character would often end up ducking in the scene just afterwards. I really enjoyed the game, and have actually played through it 3 separate times now.

I'm sure this has been posted already, but I haven't gotten through the rest of the thread. 20% of $1,000,000 on the PC = $200,000 12.2% of $2,000,000 on the console = $240,000 Is it really better making a game for the PC?

Success and failure is based on the seller's expectation, not necessarily about whether or not a game made profit. Future games in the Jade Empire universe theoretically could have lesser (I say lesser, but it will likely go up since it will be on a new platform...just less up) costs as much of the research into the mythology and design of the setting has already been done. But it's all about expectation. I'm sure Amazon expected to lose a good chunk of change their first few years on the internet as well. If Bioware and Microsoft were not expecting the game to make sales, but perhaps to make up the differences with possible sequels, then the game could still be considered a success. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing if it did or did not meet their expectations.

According to a person who places a MMORPG for crying out loud on 1. You better linked to page 4. Not only is the guy more sane, he also has alot better reasoning WHY bioshock could become a succes... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're tossing everything out the window because a guy thinks that an MMO should be in the lowest spot on his list?

Errr, 400x more than 5 GB. Though one April 1st Google mentioned that my eventual mailbox size will be infinity + 1.

My Gmail has 400x more than that.
