You're just bitter because you want to be Bethesda CEO.

Wait, didn't Gamespot say DM was one of the best games at E3? And now combat is unsatisfying? Okay....

Heads-up, Digital Distribution fans. NWN2 will be available on Direct2Drive, and is available for preload now. North America only. As a sidenote, I've just noticed Space Rangers 2 is 20$ there. Hmmm.

The question is why you saw a psychiatrist in the first place.

PC games for the rest of the year will be NWN2 and Armed Assault. Oh, and whatever Close Combat remake comes out. I'm getting two copies of Children of Mana for coop goodness, and Castlevania Portrait of Ruin. I just ordered Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime and Trauma Center. Kirby Squeak Squad, Yoshi Island DS and Magical Starsign are maybes. Wallet

YOU're being rediculous, pixies.

Feargus said that Obs were pondering porting NWN2 (the OC, at least) to consoles at some point.

'on good authority' Hahahahahaha.

While we're waiting for the game to come out, get a bit of reading done. Oh boy oh joy. http://www.nwn2wiki.org/Manual

Have you tried Galactic Civilizations II? It's been getting rave reviews. There's also a demo out.

I just don't want the AI to override my orders when I switch characters. That was kinda annoying in KOTOR1/2.

Ignore that, it's BS. All you need is a card that supports Pixel Shaders 2.0.

Excellent.

The assassination scene and the battle of the Gardens

I'm wondering why they aren't updating CC5. Was that a bad game? If they actually have the nerve to implement coop, I'm punching jerkbrain in the face and making him buy it. Too bad it's highly unlikely. Still, persistent online campaign, hehehehehehehehehehehe.

Some of you should be Close Combat fans. Matrix Games - a publisher of wargames - now seems to have the license to publish games in the series, and plans to revise CC2/3/4. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6160284.html?...pc&subj=6160284 Having never really played the games in-depth (yet I loved the demo for CC1 back in the day), this is pretty tempting.

Well, I think Lost Planet looks prettier as far as 360 games go, but the GoW presentation at E3 looked really nice. Nice game mechanics.

Wow, I had a challenging time and I ended up getting everything. I can't imagine what it must have been like without using magic all that time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was very fun having a limited amount of Ultima/Meteo/Flare/whatever to dish out a decent amount of damage, and then have the boss shatter it completely. 'Jolly crap, you destroyed my Ultima'. Hehehehehe. This was especially cool given the direct link to stats. Using up the powerful magic linked to Strength led to pathetic physicals and so on. Very cool.

I enjoyed FF8 except for a few things - "Drawing" magic from your enemies, Guardian Force summons and the "grade" system at the Academy. Drawing magic was probably the most annoying thing out of all the FF games I played, even more so than watching the lengthy summons over and over. FF8 had a good story and the soundtrack was the best of the series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Those flaws, despite being what they are, probably made FF8's final boss the most enjoyable one in the series for me. Since I had barely drawn any magic and was relying too much on summons, it was really neat to have the roles reversed as the GF's were being decimated and put on the role of last-minute shields for my characters, as I tried to actually deal damage with the limited amount of magic I had - all while the boss was destroying my magic *and* stats at the same time. In that context, having the extra boss forms was pretty neat. That redeemed the game's battle system for me. I would not, in a million years, replay it, though.

Exactly <_<

But no other FF game got a perfect score in famitsu. So it's on par with Nintendogs, whoopdeedoo. This still makes me groan.

Hahahahahahahaha, Hades.

Square's been dead to me since they passed on bringing Front Mission 5 to NA or Europe. So.. no. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Them Bastards! Well, look at it this way, FM4 sucked so you probably didn't miss much with 5. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I actually liked FM4. Anywho... from what I've heard from those who have played FM5.... it's the best one of the entire series. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, on the bright side, they're remaking FM1 for the DS.

I loved the Dark Messiah singleplayer demo. I *hated* the multiplayer beta. It was so stale and unenticing
