Which positions are you losers playing?

Jagged Alliance. It's like Morrowind with guns.

The EB I checked in to pick up Infinite Undiscovery and Disgaea 3 says it was expecting the shipment in later today. I didn`t bother preordering.

This news sucks. It doesn't even break anything except your face.

I'd recommend you sell off your system and buy a PS3. That's where the real next-gen experience lies. You can get great games like The Darkness, or Warhawk, Resistance, MGS4, Heavenly Sword. Not to mention great upcoming titles like Resident Evil 5 and FFXIII. Save yourself some disappointment.

Is the 360 demo out already?

I have a better idea, let's make a new thread whenever a game gets pirated before it's officially released. It'll probably be more populated than that PS3 thread, at least.

DID YOU HEAR THAT VOLO DID YA DID YA POT MEET KETTLE HAHAHAHAHAHA VOLO JUST GOT TOLD POT MEET KETTLE VOLO POT MEET KETTLE LOL VOLO PLAYS EA SPORTS GAMES WHAT A FAT LAZY BUM WHICH JUST SITS ON THE COACH AND PLAYS EA SPORTS GAMES BTW VOLO POT MEET KETTLE LOLOLOLLIPOP

The Hippocratic Oath isn't even mandatory, boohoo.

They take away my money whenever I kill civilians.

BG1/2/KOTOR/ME are also full of time-wasters, boohoo. In JE's defense, it had nice music, and the ghost orphans quest was nice (for the music).

"Should I get Castle Crashers?" Man, you idiot.

I use the fish. Or the chicken. Or the lobster.

The demo was 'bad' as an introduction to the game, but it was pretty good for me, since I was already familiar with the series. You start the game with one character. Midway in the first dungeon, you'll get a 2nd one. Then a third one just a little after. The first battle teaches you the ropes. All the characters start with one special ability each, and learn extras as they fight more. The learning curve is very low. The demo was also apparently made harder than the actual game for some reason (heck, the boss killed me a few times). In any case, there's easy/normal/hard difficulty settings.

Tales of Vesperia is pretty nice so far. Love the combat system. <3 co-op RPGs.

I want the ability to play a female character, for roleplaying purposes. Don't make me an ugly scarred ugly man, thanks. Urg, men. I hate men. FREAKING MEN. I'LL KILL THEM ALL. Don't ever force me to play a man. I hate them so much. What a useless waste of breathing space. Now, roleplaying a woman - now we're talking, especially if you get to romance other female characters in the game. I want roleplaying options like that. I also want: Good story. Good well written npcs. Character development at start up, looks, stats, class. Skin color, hair type, hair color, facial features and other body alterations at character creation. Good voice overs. Excellent music.

Ironclad made Sins, not Stardock.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Heh, looked okay. The C&C presented from blowing up the town are significant, I'll grant it that. Hopefully the rest of the game offers stuff to that extent, rather than it just being a sole example of such. The writing was pretty average, though, so my interest is pretty gone at that. The Oblivion flashbacks were especially traumatizing (from the engine). I'll pass.

It's too bad PC RPGs have for the most part shunned turn-based combat for years now, whereas the dumbed-down console kiddies get force-fed turn-based after turn-based RPG. Heck, they even made a genre for it.

I would have enjoyed NWN2's combat a whole bunch more if it were turn-based and designed around it.

Mass Effect's sidequests were pretty horrible, but KOTOR's weren't particularly good, either. It was just 'stuff to do' because it was a CRPG and CRPGs have sidequests rather than actually involving stuff.

I'm going to kill you. I'm actually looking forward to AP/Aliens most for the story/writing/characters/C&C/etc, since that's what Obs does. However, that does not mean in any way that substandard combat mechanics are acceptable. Frankly, if a developer knows that one aspect of their game (especially one that'll probably take most of the usual player's time in that game) is subpar, it should be changed fundamentally. If you can't do shooters, don't do shooter RPGs. If you're aiming for a specific type of gameplay, you better deliver.

Oh yeah, I guess this is important too.
