Being fiction doesn't mean a movie/tv show/book/game/whatever can't be realistic. Not really. My pet hate is the whole "tapping a few keys on the keyboard turns a grainy low-res image into a super sharp high-res image" thing. There is really no way to make that believable.

Sayid isn't a cold-blooded killer, he was pretty emotional at the end. My guess is this.

Resident Evil 5 Mercenaries. I'll also get around to playing The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex.

Any specific reason for putting Linux on your PS3?

Why?

The dialogue system is more Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) than ME.

When it comes to guns and stats I prefer something like RE 4 & 5, where it's the guns stats that I raise.

Better to be Danish than think Carth is an interesting, well-developed character.

I do hope they move away from the tropical island setting.

Which is why you take you time to create a quality product rather than attempting a quick cash-in.

Rhetorical Question: You're not supposed to answer it. Dude, GTAIV is a friggin' huge hit. Calling MP3 a cash-in is just typical gamer pessimism/whininess. Rockstar can afford to take their time.

I don't see Mark Wahlberg at all. Looks more like the love child of Max Payne the Second and Sam Fisher, Double Agent. Yeah, I'm sure Rockstar needs the cash, I mean when was the last time they had a hit? Really, that'd be less ridiculous if it hadn't been 5-6 years since the previous game.

So who exactly is developing this? And when is Alan Wake coming out goddamnit? Edit: Rockstar Vancouver apparently. What have they done? Edit: Bully apparently. Also, MP3. Amusing.

Yes. While the SC, MGS and Thief series all allowed the player to resort to action (yes, even Thief, you didn't carry around a sword for nothin'), they were very much focused on stealth. The DX and SS series allowed stealth but it was never the focus, and being a jack of all trades meant the stealth couldn't compare to those other three series. I do hope the stealth in AP is closer to the first three than the last two.

As soon as I needed to repair my Lincoln Repeater, that stopped being true. I blame Todd Howard.

I don't think you understand what the word "generic" means. I'd also question your definition of "action".

Except, you know, for the entire branching dialogue/plot part? Er, what part of Comparing x to y isn't the same as claiming x and y are EXACTLY THE SAME are you not understanding? It's not idiotic to say that AP shares similarities with other stealth action games, because based on what we've seen it's true. That there is more to AP doesn't change this. Similar does not equal the same. If people are dismissing AP because they don't think it's individual parts look as good as other games ("Combat isn't as good as Gears of War.", "Stealth isn't as good as Splinter Cell", "It's not a real RPG like Fallout"), then they're missing out, but whining that they don't get it isn't going to change that.

Not really.

Why are such comparisons idiotic? The action gameplay we've seen is similar to those two titles. Comparing x to y isn't the same as claiming x and y are EXACTLY THE SAME. Oh, and I pretty much agree with Cl_Flushentityhe...

What makes you think that? She saw no hope for the future so she decided to end her life on a high. I thought they made that pretty obvious on the show. how does that contradict the "weak and/or off her nut" observation? seeing 0 hope in such a situation, given all the crap they had already been through, seems weak or nutty to Gromnir. were a damn terrible way to kill her regardless. When you said the explanation I though the were referring to an official explanation from the writers. Whether or not you think see was weak depends on what you think about ones decision to end their own life. "She's off her nut" certainly wasn't what they were going for. Anyway, an interview with Ron Moore on the finale.

Standing is a typical anime pose?

I was worried for a while there that they'd introduce the beings of light from the old series and explain exactly what the head people are, so I was glad when they left a little mystery. Pandering would be to offer an answer to every question ever asked. What it means to be human? In the end they were all human. Yep.

And just what is a "proper conclusion"?

Isn't that the case for most people? I mean, who here is getting choked up, because of this death or any other celebrity death? Of course there will always be folks who think they can know someone just because they see them on tv, but commenting on something like this doesn't equal feeling genuine sorrow. No one is being told they need to care, so asking why they should seems odd, assuming of course they are asking a genuine question, as opposed to doing an internet tough guy routine. Anyone who honestly has to ask why this single death gets more coverage probably needs to look up the definition of celebrity.
