I'm not all over the price. Getting the console with some controllers is going to add up. I can't necessarily say it's a bad move from Nintendo. The consoles will sell out anyway initially. I think allowing for more eventual price drops could make for more sales in the long run. Of course, this applies to the other consoles as well. Either way, I'm not planning on getting one until the titles that fully exploit the new control scheme get made. So far, the titles I'm anticipating the most are Fire Emblem (make one for DS, morans) and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, which don't really draw from the Wiimote's potential. Ooh, I want a survival horror game where they give you a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other. Or let me independantly dual-wield two guns at once, or two swords. Or a gun and a sword, letting me carry out a duel with a swordwielding boss while I'm also shooting cronies that are trying to ambush me. Basically, I want experiences that the traditional control scheme simply can't provide. In the meantime, the DS is getting awesome titles, so I'm in no rush to go back to the console realm.

I preordered from EB Games. They gave me a card with the code on it.

Wait. You're being sarcastic.

Preordered yesterday. Can't wait for next week ^_^

The irony was that all the doom and gloom was generated mostly for the DLA mod. Most of the other modders/teams stayed relatively quiet.

Haha, after all the drama, DLA takes back all the hate and makes up with Atari.

I dunno. My brother just got home, with a brand new copy of NHL 2007.

Tee hee.

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/europa...reviews;story;0 Never played EU1/2, but Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday has sucked away any sentience I once had or pretended to have. I'm quite looking forward to this game. Coop mode will kick butt. Hmm, looks like there's been a PR boost recently. http://pc.gamezone.com/gzreviews/p28887.htm http://www.firingsquad.com/games/europa_un...is_3_interview/ http://pc.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=12371 http://jaguarusf.blogspot.com/2006/09/euro...ii-preview.html

No kidding! Thinking about it a bit, doesn't the Biosphere gone awry setting kind of mimic a post-apocolyptic setting? Things have gone very bad, there's mutations going around, and people are scavenging to survive!. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Man, that has gotten me exited in Bioshock in totally new kind of way! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah. I'm quite anticipating this game. The artstyle is very nice. The setting sounds neat.

Hmm, Bioshock should be very nice in that aspect. It may not have SPECIAL, but the system should be similar enough in its implementation.

True. In a way, Deus Ex was the spiritual successor to Fallout.

How are past failures proof? Did POR2 and TOEE prove that DnD and TB doesn't mix?

Support the commies! Left it is!

This game is why I'm really anticipating the real-time adaptation of SPECIAL by Bethesda when they release FO3. Should be pretty innovative.

BURN THE HERETIC Besides, any setting blatantly promoting communism is good in my book ^_^

Hmm, this would be an awesome setting for an RPG. PURGE THE UNCLEAN

IIRC, I think just specific units have specific spells, which you can - I think - research to gain higher level spells.

Well, I had only played the demo. I was looking for impressions for someone who had purchased the full version.

Yes, alanschu. I believe that is a good comparison. WC3 has situations where you can lead a smallish party with your hero units.

RPG elements.

You already made your opinion clear and have nothing more to add to the topic, though. This isn't making the forums a community-friendly place. Greylord wanted a FOBOS discussion.

Erm, that's the point. This is a FOBOS thread, not a FO1/2 one. *WE* didn't come in here to bash it.

I've been reading up on this DnD RTS, Dragonshard. The average review score seems to be 80%, which isn't bad. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/922155.asp I've seen it for a decent price recently. Should I get it? How in-tune with DnD is it? How's the roleplaying elements integrated with the RTS gameplay? Until NWN2 comes out, I'm looking into getting some DnD gaming going on :cool:
