Tale

Yeah, it's the original. I'm more interested in seeing it use the DS touchscreen than being shiny. But I'm with you in being dissapointed that 5 did not come out in the States. What's your opinion of 4? I can get it cheap.

10 days until Front Mission DS. Not a sequel, but it's coming out.

I spent yesterday playing as a Pyro while singing "Hot Hot Hot" by Buster Poindexter into the microphone.

Pfft, unless people are actually related, those relationships don't exist.

I was under the impression that it was being made.

Good luck. It took me forever to find Episode 3. It had been out for over a year before I saw my first copy. I think my local stores didn't pick it up because of how poorly Episode 2 sold, they still had large quantities of it at that point.

Is it like Xenogears, where the control is taken away from the player in the second CD? Nowhere near as bad. Xenosaga just seems to speed up for the second (or was it third?) act. Xenogears ran out of money. Xenosaga was working on both 3 and 4 at the same time when they were told they weren't going to get to release 4.

I loved 3. Best of them. A lot of people seem to agree, especially in regards to the combat system. The art direction is perfect, it's a bit of a compromise between the first two and actually looks very close to the art style of Xenogears. The actors changed around again, but for the better as Kos-Mos goes back to the first voice actress. Some people feel it was rushed and I see where they're coming from. They had to cram what they were developing for 4 into 3. So, after a certain point it seems the plot starts moving fast with less detail.

Because it's not just New York. The nuclear blast in New York gets Sylar elected President. SYLAR AS PRESIDENT. At which point he tries to enact a plan of genocide.

Pascal haters just don't know about my := The hardest thing in the world when I moved over to Borland C++ was to stop using :=.

Just great. I used to figure that Ichigo would eventually hook up with Rukia since they get so much screen time together. But after yesterday, I'm going to be sad if Inoue doesn't get Ichigo.

Tons of great fiction is nothing more than relatively regular people. It's a great platform to explore issues of the human condition and philosophy. And if you're not interested in that, well... you can always have regular people involved in great events (to explore human condition and philosophy).

I've seen someone post this on another forum a number of days ago. I'll repost my response here. Dig 20 feet down anywhere and you'll be surprised what you find. Heat it up and don't be surprised by what gases it gives off. Especially in an area that knows what the word "plumbing" means.

facepalm.jpg NWN2 was not on consoles. Sure, but that's not the point. Next-gen is short-hand for the level of detail in the art assets. No, no it's not. Next-gen is short-hand for next generation, and refers to the generation of the platform. It has nothing to do with "dramatic change in the way video games "look"." It explicitly has to do with the generation of the platform it is released on. So, unless you're claiming that Neverwinter Nights 2 was released as a DX10, Vista, Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii game, which is wasn't, then you're still just throwing around a buzzword with no clue as to what it means.

I'm still playing TF2. STABBY STABBY! I still can't seem to get more than 5 backstabs in a life, but I'm destroying more and more buildings. It helps to play on an FF server.

You are the shallowest dev I've ever seen type. Nah, I like MOD's, I play MOD's, I don't like making MOD's, because there is NO ACTUAL CODE! There's a difference between not liking to make MODs and not thinking highly of modding. One is an opinion of your interest in being involved, one is an opinion of the activity in general.

He's not just a reviewer, he's also a dev.

They supposedly want to make it change upon varying factors, including when you press it. For example, if you press the button to select a response early the character will interrupt and have different dialog than if you wait, where it will make it seem like he thought about something.

EXTREEEEEEEEEME!

Understand one thing, possibly very important, Sand has said he can't play twitch games because of physical difficulties. Sand doesn't say anything good about games he can't play particularly well. Most especially if other people like them.

Played 4:30 hours last night. I am really enjoying it. I think they put a lot of work into it and ironed out all the problems TFC had. Of course, after my short time playing it it is early to be proclaiming anything long term. Personal opinions will vary. The overall community's following of it is not something I can predict, which is important to the long term life of a game.

I am calling it a bad game for me, not a bad game for everyone. Not everyone has the same tastes in games. It's not a matter of taste. It's a matter of your opinion is based off a comedy routine.
