Depends what your definition of triple A is. Awesome co-op? Yup yup. There's also a 60player PvP mode, but I don't give a crap.

Don't ever mention that piece of crap to me ever again.

You guys are all idiots, anyway. Just get the version which your friends are getting. No one cares if PC or 360 is better. If you pick a version based on its 'superiority' without any friends to play with, you're an idiot. You're an idiot anyway.

Yoink. In any case, not committing to this until splitscreen online guesting is confirmed.

No one gives a crap about the explosions.

You're better off getting CoD5!

I'm in the beta. 8p co-op is fantastic. It's not like your usual co-op mode, instead implementing various class-based PvP elements to it. Only, instead of fighting another team, you're fighting massive legions of AI. IIRC, there are 6 maps, based on the PvP maps. They're semi-randomized. Each map has a bunch of zones, and every mission you're being sent to different zones, so this should have some good replayability. There are 3 classes. -Soldier - big gun, and a secondary fire summons a shield which allies can hide behind. -Medic - attack beam to absorb enemy hp and refill your secondary fire ammo. Secondary fire is a wide area blast which heals allies but not you. It's a good balance between having to shoot enemies to replenish your secondary fire, and trying to keep your time alive (you can also revive dead allies by going next to them and pressing a button, though anyone can do this). -SpecialOps - Don't know the details, but this is your ammo guy. Keeps allied guns running, and replenishes shields as well, I think It's a good balance. You need your soldiers to actually deal good damage and to absorb shots with the shield, your medics to keep people alive, and your SpecOps to keep the war machine going, pushing forward slowly on and on, as you're advancing your shield. Deploying shield near corpses so someone can get near to revive, fending off attacks from multiple flanks. You really get overwhelmed. Didn't get the party wiped out yet, but there's been some instances where more than half the team was dead. Good fun. (re: Nick, medic feels a lot like the monk in GW in terms of awesomeness/keeping the team alive - only, without GW crap)

Guess what I already gave away yesterday!

Infinity Ward is a piece of crap for not implementing co-op in CoD4. Unless CoD6 has it, it can rot in Hades' sphincter, for all I care. But yeah, CoD5 mp feels *a lot* like 4. Squads makes keep tracking of buddies in battle a lot easier, which makes teamwork actually play a role. Also, dogs are awesome. If the co-op campaign is good and it has guesting, I'd be pretty sold on this.

Nick and me are in the COD5 beta. I have an extra key. First post gets it. Or not. Depends on whether I hate you or not.

Dead Space can screw a rock. It took 2-3 days from the time they received the box to the day I got it back. 6 weeks, rofl. Yeah, things break, but PC gaming has brought me a lot more hassles. Meh. Just in time for Gears2.

L4D sucks anyway.

But it's not 2D!!! (I forget, is that 3 or 4?)

There's a few SRPGs on 360 (Operation Darkness, Spectral Force 3, Zoids Assault), though apparently none of them are particularly good. If you're up for trying something different, Culdcept Saga is turn-based and isometric, but 3D :/ The gameplay is a mix of Monopoly and Magic: The Gathering. The game takes place on a board (of various sizes and shapes), and your character moves around, building bases, attacking enemies and so on. You employ collectible cards (in-game) as well. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30500.html Mostly, the last haven for turn-based 2D isometric games is really on the DS.

'Strategy' RPGs, though they're actually more tactical. Basically, grid-based turn-based combat is the gist of the gameplay. Outside combat, you spend time upgrading skills, buying items, customizing your characters etc. Story exposition is usually done in-between battles. The real focus of the games are the actual battles. This is the latest one. Just released 2 months ago on PS3. 2D (3D backgrounds lol). Isometric. Turn-based. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35125.html

Yes, but do they use 3/4 isometric view and 2D graphics? I did use commas and an "and" to connect all three qualifiers. Nearly all SRPGs (though not all) are turn-based 2D isometric games.

Er, no, there are still tons of turn-based and 2D games by big-name publishers for the console market.

You know that dinosaurs are extinct, right?

Come on, join us, guys! Bastila Lovers Club 4eva! http://swforums.bioware.com/forums/viewtop...rum=89&sp=0 Join us in our debate about whether you can get Bastila to officially kiss you only one or actually *twice* in the game!

Yeah, Kreia was probably at least on par or maybe a little below Carth and Bastila. Are you part of the Bastila Lovers Club as well? If not, join us at the Bioware KOTOR forums!!1!

Bastila was a horrible character for male PCs too.

The problem with Mass Effect being an action RPG and not a shooter is that it has pretty horrible action RPG combat mechanics. It has very severe/significant flaws and very questionable game design elements, more so that other Bioware games. Its high points, though, make up for it for me. Other Bioware titles (I've played all their RPGs except Sonic Crapicles lol) *are* significantly more polished as a whole, but having played them a few years back, I have no real praise for them, or little more than a few fond memories here and there. They were just forgettable. Is ME destined to fit that as well? I don't know yet, but I enjoyed it enough I'm looking forward to its sequel. Can I say the same about any other Bioware game? Not really. It was still severely botched in many area, but it's still the best 'worst' game I've played, I would think. Guess what? I think KOTOR is half-baked half-arsed garbage too lol. Two or three or more can play that game. Heck, Magical Volo mastered it.
