  1. LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
  2. It's not gone and it hasn't been reassigned. It is Z, as it's always been. TAB is a different game. I've had the same problem a few times.
  3. 3/4 view is a mostly side, partial top view.
  4. Doom Clone was not a term used to actually represent games that were clones of Doom. It was a term for any FPS practically up until Quake was released, which happened to be 5 months after Duke Nukem 3D. Further, as I already stated, I did not use the term to imply it had a lot to owe to Doom, but to infer that it belonged to an era long gone.
  5. He could be a VA. Did the dragon talk?
  6. Was Tom Bombadil in The Hobbit?
  7. Those posts settle it, Yahtzee's a goon.
  8. This is almost assuredly what happens. Aside from Psychonauts he's touched all the big name titles. He's not even technically reviewing in a traditional sense because he's not giving out scores. Oh, and that one Medal of Honor game.
  9. Yeah, voicing your opinion is a good trade. I dabble in it on occasion. It helps if the opinion includes "hands in the air" and "I've got a gun."
  10. I think they should have Leonard Nimoy play Bilbo.
  11. It worked for a short flashback. I don't think they're going to pull two theatrical movies with that trick.
  12. Does it have to be irrational for me to make a joke out of it? See, we'll just have to agree to disagree here. I think the only people who would care about another Michael Jackson are nutjobs and myself. And I'm not even entirely sure I'm on that list.
  13. This is part of what I have to contest. Not every generation is like the one that came before. Cheese is dying, if not already dead as a valid form of commercial humor. It'd be like releasing a Michael Jackson album to kids who grew up on Linkin Park. Sure, there was that Blood on the Dance Floor album, but I don't think that's what those kids are looking for. And music hasn't even progressed half as much in that time as gaming has in the past 10 years. That would be completely dishonest to the setting that Duke Nukem represents. I agree.
  14. I've never had problem with the quality of the games. My contention is that the B-movie humor of Duke will easily show through as trying too hard to be funny with modern game design. They'll inherently be forced to provide more context to the adventure than in the previous games, which automatically means that facet of it will gain more prominence. If they apply Duke Nukem's B-movie style to the entirety of the setting, it will invariably end up with brain cells dying for every member of the audience. Whereas if they set up the setting so that it's all fairly serious, but Duke comes in and provides the comic relief, they could pull it off. All I ask is that when Duke Nukem gives off one of his atrocious one liners, someone in-game tells him to shut the hell up.
  15. Now to be positive, I can see one way it could work. If everything about the setting is entirely serious with the exception of Duke himself. That's kind of how it worked for Ash.
  16. In other words "because of nostalgia."
  17. "Doom clone" is an old term used for just about any FPS game at all. It is an outdated term, however it is appropriate because at the time Duke Nukem 3D was released the term was still used and Duke Nukem as a design is just as dated as the term. Nice attempt at making yourself a martyr. Nobody's talking beheading. However if you start getting excited over Pong 2, we should rightly have you checked out by a professional. The game simply does not hold up without nostalgia.
  18. Because the three first Duke Nukem games were beyond awesome? Or are you referring to those strange people who have been on the 3DRelams DNF forum for years without any news on the game still being in developement? No, I'm referring to people who are no longer teenagers aching to see boobies and excited by any "Doom clone" that comes to market. They might have been awesome for their time, but that time is long past.
  19. I never said that I figured out what it was all about, just some of it.
  20. Witcher is a little more demanding than Mask.
  21. Not quite: Play it if you like KOTOR and RPGs because it won't be an epiphany if you dislike them. Edit: He does mention that the boobs were probably Biowares best idea Ahh, so too many words but he's glad for the boobs!
  22. I'd like another series in that universe. I'd simply like the continuing story of Kain after Defiance. The part where he goes on to fulfill the destiny he forsook in the very first game and attempts to restore the balance.
  23. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/v...ion-Mass-Effect Mass Effect Without sound I can still gather that he thinks it has too many words and relies too much on boobs. He also feels alone in not being absolutely enamored with it.
