Tale

Perfect Dark Zero? Too much Doom, not enough Hitman. And not nearly enough space. Correct me if I'm wrong. And an understanding of spaghetti western themes would be a plus.

what about Stranger's Wrath? it qualifies, somewhat, I think I actually have that on Steam, but haven't gotten around to it. I've heard negative things about the porting. What about Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter? Barely remembered its existence. Would probably be impossible to find now, but next time I'm near a second hand video store, I'll keep an eye out.

Looks nothing like Prey. I'm no fan of Prey, so I won't hold that against it. It actually looks precisely like what I've been wanting for a few years now. A space opera/sci-fi/space western bounty hunter game with gadgets that's not Star Wars.

This is the best news about the patch I've heard.

I'm planning to see X-men: First Class today. I'm intensely skeptical, but reviews are looking good. Ebert rated it poorly, but for this movie he seemed to be just complaining about the costumes. I'd love to hear from anyone who sees it before 5/6 Central.

What is the purpose of this, if that's not prying? Is your friend having a child?

Is this something particular to Italy? If this is in the US version I played, I can not believe I didn't notice.

I have hoarded my college textbooks. So I know I have a book on the subject that I can look up for you. If I remember, which I probably will not, I'll see what I can find later on tonight.

As the first abuse of my power, I shall ban myself! I'm now being informed that I am unable to ban myself.

Crusader is the only thing I know I'll get. Debating Dungeon Keeper.

Ooh, all the retailer DLC is in 1.2 patch.

And they're doing a livestream right now. By right now I mean they're screwing it up and all we have is black. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cdp-summer-days Edit: It's not black anymore, we're back to the title screen.

"No really guys, this time we're shutting down for realz" Who knows what they're up to this time. It's an announcement of a new publisher.

I did not wish to imply that it would be difficult. The three coat thing seems either exploratory or for his post-companion quest look. "Does he decide the NCR are the nation he wants or the Legion?" I haven't followed Old World Blues, but I don't see the NCR/Legion conflict making a return for it.

I'm thinking you might be confusing Tales of Monkey Island with Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition. But, with you, it's hard to tell.

2 years is old? That's some standards.

Three coat concepts? Intriguing. I would wager that won't make it into the DLC, but nontheless.

Isn't one enough? Of Monkey Island too? They must be even crazier than our own Tale! One is not enough. Five is not enough. I need more.

Daily deal on Steam is Tales of Monkey Island http://store.steampowered.com/app/31170 This was the answer to the question of "what is probably my favorite adventure game of all time." Well, there's no probably to it. If you like adventure, get it now.

I don't even remember the first Sephiroth battle, the one with multiple parties. But they were both pushovers if you could remove wall and had omnislash or knights of the round. Games that focus on combat shouldn't really have abilities that kill the final boss in one attack. I can understand a social RPG or an adventure game, but...

It was pretty easy. Just put random junk into open slots and you could still win. VII and VIII both had no real balance. I don't remember IX or X's systems as well. VI was more streamlined and managed to present challenges at times.

Yeah sorry some of us here actually played Dungeon Siege and are not just simply Obsidian fanbois Hey, I played Dungeon Siege! I think I got a good hour out of it before I uninstalled.

I saw a dungeon. Okay, more of a cave. But that counts, right?

EA or Lucasarts are signed up for 25+ titles to be released over the next three months. Which specifically to be revealed at E3. Lucasarts would possibly be most likely. It's been hinted that System Shock isn't included, which would seem to rule out EA. However, an EA employee was found winking on his twitter account. I like the Lucasarts idea because they've become increasingly fond of reviving old franchises lately after Sam and Max's episodic success. Monkey Island just seems more likely than Ultima.
