Unlimited ammo has been replaced by regenerating health.

A two part story over two episodes doesn't count as one episode. 6 episodes doesn't seem like enough, but then I have no idea how it's all going to end, and how much they're going to pack into the final episodes. ^ No, there's still only 6 left, the last one is just longer. It's not like an episode is defined as 45 minutes.

Comparisons with ME or GoW aren't just down to using the same engine.

Huh? PS2 and Gameboy top those lists. What exactly is it you think The Media is not telling us?

I still don't know what the hiding behind barrels thing means. We really shouldn't let your disgusting xenophobia derail the thread.

Sounds a bit like CoD games, where nothing happens, or enemies keep respawning, until Player Character moves forward. It is times like these that I suspect you people play games by hiding behind barrels. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. And just what do you mean by "you people", you filthy racist?

Beats me, it was years ago I read this stuff. It's entirely possible it was all a dream. I'm fine with the mute protagonist, I had a problem with the fact that everyone acted like I was some totally awesome hero, but then treated me like the Doom marine. The characters were lame. The unoffensive female sidekick with a heart of gold. She's really into you, ya know, you'll love her. She's friends with a giant robot, how cool is that! Her dear old cripple token black guy dad with a heart of gold. The bumbling scientist with a heart of gold. He has a pet alien, but it's always getting into mischief. What a scamp! The buddy-cop-movie security guard friend, always there to help you out of a jam. His heart is made of pure gold. Anyone without a heart of gold is a bad guy, or a traitor.

Supposedly some other team is working on an episode 4 that will be a separate story, but this bit of info as well as the "episodes as HL3" thing are from so long ago who the hell knows what the deal is anymore.

There was a rat on my balcony. It's dead now.

^ Apparently the episodes are supposed to serve as HL3.

Meh.

Starbuck is GANGSTA!1

There is an awful lot of smoke in the bushland outside my apartment window. If I don't post again within the hour, just assume I've burnt to death.

Wrong. Bio did KOTOR and JE for consoles before ME. And this is were you go wrong, making up silly reasons why other people would like things more than you. That the "console crowd" likes ME because they haven't played better (read: PC) RPGs. Obviously hurlshot thinks ME is awesome because he has never played anything better, right? How much one enjoys a game/movie/book/whatever isn't dependent on whether they have first experienced some other, objectively better game/movie/book/whatever. I thought Fallout 3 was great, I guess this means I've never played the original two? Does the fact I have played them, and enjoyed them, make me the exception to the rule? No, because the rule is utter rubbish.

So, the game no longer features unlimited ammo?

Not liking something is all fine and dandy, but claiming to know why other people do like it, with explanations like this: is just ridiculous. If only krookie and hurlshot had experienced the same awesome storytelling as you, they'd be able to see how bad ME really is.

Separate game. "Project Redlime" is apparently an old franchise, and people seem to think it will either by Syndicate or System Shock.

That's like how angry people were about how buggy Titan Quest was when first released, but people were complaining about bugs that only existed when using a cracked exe.

You're not talking about the one made by Pandemic, right? I'd assume he is. It does look rather fantastic. Seems like they are going for a Chronicles of Riddick style that might work very well for the Dark Knight. Batman: Arkham Asylum is being developed by Rocksteady. The Pandemic game was cancelled before it was even announced.

Console gaming is doomed, WildTangent is the future of gaming.

"Good" and "interesting" are entirely a matter of opinion, and you're confusing "good design" with "stuff I like". To use a bit of CrashGirl wisdom, just because you like it, doesn't mean it's not crap. As for the objective truth, Oblivion doesn't have cliff racers, and is therefore the superior game.

It's hard to take your opinion seriously, but at least you actually played this particular pile of excrement. Keep on truckin', you crazy anti-fan. Many people like Oblivion, and that's one of the worst games ever made! And considering how inept Bethesda are, it's far more likely that FO3 is, in fact, a huge disaster.

My comment still applies, you big drama queen. Then what, prey tell, was NOT a disaster about that game? I'm sorry but the onus is on you to back up your claim, I'm not doing you job for you. I'm wasn't even commenting on the game itself, just saying that calling the design a huge disaster is a ridiculous overreaction.

Something that bothered me in the scene where Starbuck saved Lee, why did no one pull a gun on her? She shot that one guy, and then everyone just stands around like idiots while she shoots the next. Surely someone could have gotten the drop on her. Also didn't care for Adama shooting from the hip through the narrow gap.
