That would certainly explain the Gold Box games.

Sean Burke is off to Tampa Bay! And Comcast has signed the $100 million cable deal with the NHL.

That's why I'm here!

Oh yeah. I wasn't stating that in defense of Mr. Thompson.

Well, in that same interview he mentions that his goal is to destroy rockstar.

There actually was some points that he raised in that radio interview that I also agree with, so it's not just you Squidget

Elisha was an added bonus to 24 as well!

I like the women! :cool: EDIT: Although relationships between Masters and Apprentices make for interesting stories, including betrayals and redemptions as well as vengence. When a tight bond is created between the Master and the Apprentice, when something happens to one the other is challenged in a variety of ways.

Eliza Dushku. I remember her from as far back as True Lies

I think they could play the Master-Apprentice relationship really well if they wanted. I think it'd also be neat if you progressed to a Master in the Master-Apprentice relationship as well.

I think the only reason why a console RPGer would be less likely to play a PC RPG is because he doesn't own a gaming PC. It's still a move to a style of game, regardless of what platform it's on. After all, Final Fantasy games no longer feature anime characters with horribly exaggerated features like FF7. They still have a similar art design, but games like FF8 and FFX seem to indicate a trend towards more realistic looking characters. KOTOR 1 and 2 were both insanely popular sellers, and have been the gateway RPG for gamers such as GoA. Many people I worked with loved the open ended, do whatever you want style of Morrowind on the XBOX as well.

My take is to not worry about it. Bioware still has a PC only game in development, and it sounds more ambitious than any of their previous projects. Furthermore, I see increased exposure for console RPG players to play RPGs that aren't just like the JRPGs and whatnot. It lends more to the validity of western RPG styles. I'm optimistic that Fallout 3 will do the same, should it be released on a console. As clearly indicated by companies such as Obsidian working on NWN2, Bioware's Dragon Age, and Bethesda's Oblivion.

Meh, I always found the swoop races to be rather easy as long as I didn't do anything stupid.

I likely didn't play the game enough. Having said that, I can say that I like no-win situations. Or at the very least, decisions that force you to make a sacrifice. The easiest situation to illustrate is being in a situation where two lives that you care about are at steak, but you can only save one. But I wouldn't even mind if it was not possible to save either.

Fair enough. I would attribute it more to the style of game design however. Doom 3 wanted to shock you and make you jump at times, but I would still consider it an action game rather than a scary game.

I don't remember little dots in Jagged Alliance 2, but that engine IS the Silent Storm engine. It doesn't appear to really be modified in any way with respect to its interface. Silent Storm was a sweet game....I just didn't like the way it ultimately ended up in terms of story.

I can see your point. Many games that I see as being "typical" CRPGs are the Gold Box games like Eye of the Beholder and whatnot.

Graphics alone don't make a game scary. Especially seeing as it's the unseen enemy that scares me more than the seen enemy.

If previous experience is required to make something good, then how does anything new become good?

Which I think goes back to people maintaining static definitions of the genre they like. Is this unwillingness to change a good thing? It's beliefs like this that kept decent party interaction out of western CRPGs for as long as there were.

To be honest, it's not THAT big of a deal though. Usually when there's badguys I'm not too concerned with accurate portrayal of shadows on their bodies

Here's hoping for career years from Ryan Smyth, Chris Pronger, Mike Peca, Radek Dvorak, Marty Reasoner, Raffi Torres, Alexei Semenov, Jason Smith, Igor Ulanov, Steve Staios, Marc-Andre Bergeron, Shawn Horcoff, and Ales Hemsky. It's not too much to ask! Oh what they hey throw big Georges in there too!

Gah, I need to see it before I can comment!!>!?#$1111

Is there any place where I could see Bertuzzi's attack? It's been so long I don't remember the details.

Silly numbers man....everyone knows everyone is 14/f/cali
