You probably want to go to a D&D board and ask someone overly enthusiastic to be honest. If it's a lore thing and Wizards of the Coast came up with actual chants then Obsidian/Bioware (if carried over from the original) are probably detail oriented enough to have used them. Otherwise it's just gibberish and you should learn to let go, it could also be intended that the words aren't clear as they're more of a general sound effect than a line of dialogue.

Darth Raven used to be a regular here and was a porn star so you've been trumped by just about every poster already. And then there was 'him'. Some say he was the love child of Ron Jeremy and Hugh Hefner. Others say he was grown in an Auckland laboratory located between a sex shop and a brothel. We only know him as, Shryke. Darth Raven was a porn star? I remember it being discussed at one point. Now you've asked I'm starting to doubt myself though. If it turns out she isn't then you've let Longknife win by the way. I hope you're happy.

I was tired and skimming the thread but you are right, this was unacceptable. I shall commit seppuku immediately.

There's a lot of social injustice to correct in this game as well as romances and nudity so odds are that you will love it. It also takes a lot of the best things from games you've said you enjoy like Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and Dragon Age and somehow manages to blend them together seamlessly. I've only hit the halfway mark so far but honestly, what I've played already for the past 30+ hours is some of the best gaming I've ever played. DA:I is a technical marvel and the story is the best thing Bioware has written. The plot has depth and the dialogue is all consistently on par with a good tv show or movie as opposed to a good videogame. Bioware have raised the bar for the industry and we're possibly entering the phase now where games are truly competing with other mediums at storytelling. Here's hoping CDPR do at least as well with Witcher 3. Oh, you mean... Seriously?

2013 Shadow Warrior was one of the most under-rated games on the year. Everyone was put off because of Duke Nukem Forever but SW is basically a 90's shooter made with modern tech, done right. If you buy this btw do yourself a favour and play on the hardest setting, it can get difficult at times but the thing is on any lower difficulty you'll just mindlessly shoot things with your favourite gun. At the higher setting your levelling choices matter and you will notice the difference each upgrade makes. And you will use all the weapons, powers and sword because you have to and as a result Shadow Warrior becomes a much more interesting game where you put a lot of thought into fights and who you target and what weapon will be most effective ect, ect.

So..... How is it? I miss not having a pc.

If anyone playing Dragon Age Inquisition is wondering if they should buy that $10,000 chest, don't. Just don't. It's not even remotely worth it.

The character graphics remind you of Origin? For real? I'm not trying to pick an argument but on a good rig the character models in inquisition are some of the best around. Even on a PS3 they look quite nice and are certainly more impressive to look at than Origins' also nice but nowhere near as complex or detailed figures. The armour aesthetic is also so much more varied and the fact that companions gets a personalised look for each set is just such a nice touch and improvement. And the lighting, the cloth physics both of which add so much to the quality of what you see in-game. I haven't noticed anything bad about the animations either. You aren't the only to complain about the graphics but I personally struggle to see anything that doesn't look fantastic in Inquisition. Sorry by the way, I get that it's just your opinion and you can't be wrong for not liking something but it's hard to accept that comparison after 30 hours so far of being absolutely awed by everything. They even jars of bees. Bees, Anakin! Majesticly animated bees!

That was a funny trailer but I'm a bit suspicious at the complete lack of game info, is there more information elsewhere? I personally hope it's an old style fmv adventure game with a 70's heist theme. If they could keep that level of humour then I think it would do pretty well. You can never have too many stealth games though.

I think killing Desmond and ending that story thread was a huge mistake that the series' overarching plot won't recover from. Not that the new games will be bad, I'm sure they'll be amazing, but I'm in the camp that thinks they should just focus on the historical plots and not bother with Abstergo at all. Which sucks, because I actually was more interested in Desmond and co. than Ezio at times and it was frustrating that the series always seemed to tease that they'd do something interesting with those characters 'next time'. I mean I get the character wasn't popular but for God's sake, if you make all of his sections the dullest levels in the game then of course people will respond badly to the character, then in AC3 it's like they finally teased that they with going to do it right with some of the actual missions Desmond went on and then they pulled the plug. Twats. I'm still bitter.

The best thing about the deluxe edition will probably be the soundtrack, not because the in-game stuff will be bad but because the soundtrack, and the artbook thing, will be the only perk that isn't replaceable with regular content. I mean it's safe to say that there will be a bunch of mounts, craftable weapon enhancements, armour and thrones to choose from without paying for the upgrade. So if you can live without a handful of extras in each category then yeah, probably best to skip the deluxe edition. I mean in the past the dlc weapons and armour have made the games easier than they ought to be so you may even be better off without. It doesn't sound like there's anything like Shale or Warden's Keep included. I think in this day and age btw it's fairly common for pre-order dlc to be sold separately later on. No telling how long you'd have to wait but I'd bet if you changed your mind you could get it by Xmas.

So they got halflings. Why haven't I seen any? Because they're small.

I'm pretty sure the premise will stay the same, but it will affect things in DA:I. It will? Is this also tied into the keep or will there be an import or something to the main game?

We can complain about the keep not importing our wardens correctly now right Alan? (Just kidding)

Yes. The goal of the game is to make sure every American owns a gun, abortion gets abolished, and Obama is exposed for the muslim he is. I'd actually play that, it sounds like saints row level of crazy, stupid fun

Just got back from watching this. Lovely romantic comedy, just delighted at how the lovely couple managed to get back together in the end. Would recommend it, especially for Bruce. I think he would love it to bits. I had to wipe away a tear at the ending. I loved the book. Is it true that this is David Fincher's best film since Fight Club? The book gets very heavily into what the characters are thinking so the ending does make sense even if it was a terrible decision.

My favorite moments were: My favourite bit of dialogue was definitely the part about the battery.

Peter Dinklage is a dwarf. Admit it! http://youtu.be/0Ivt3EdJuCE

that was better than most CGI I've ever seen in video games. It's worth pointing out that cameras and digital art have improved dramatically since FMV videogames were a thing. You'd think that if the genre did come back to life then there'd be at least a few that looked fantastic.

If Guardians of the Galaxy could be turned into a movie then you'd expect Deadpool to make it sooner or later. The X-Men movies have been getting darker and more adult with each instalment so I don't think the age rating will be an issue, they may even want to beat Sony to the punch with their Venom spin-off.

Which engine is that? Frostbite? I thought they were only using it for DA, any word that the new ME will be in Frostbite? There was an article and an early screenshot ages back. But yeah, frostbite is the engine of choice atm. http://airherald.com/expect-new-details-about-mass-effect-4-after-comic-con/5199/
