How is it then? I'll let you know when I've played enough to render a verdict. 5 hours in and I've had enough laughs to remember why I liked the last one. Puzzles are significantly challenging. But, some are in the class of old adventure games where it's obscure objects, combinations, and pixel hunts.

It was awesome.

I just purchased Secrets of the Ark (Broken Sword: Angel of Darkness to non-Americans). I've spent way too much on games in the past week and a half.

World | V Handbasket -> Hell

It really was the easiest Resident Evil game for me to beat. They'd been moving towards action for a while, introducing a few things in Code Veronica, then really upping it in 3 before 4 came along and they went full tilt. I've beaten all 3 and, by comparison, I've never beaten a single Silent Hill and Resident Evil 0-2 were only beaten through cheats or glitches. I don't handle stress well.

Resident Evil 4 (though, for me, it didn't really need saving) Neverwinter Nights 2 (massive improvement over the 1st in terms of original content) Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (Far better by many accounts than the first, though some like it enough that it may not have needed saving) Shadow Hearts (Many don't know it is actually a sequal to a relatively obscure PS1 title Koudelka) Wild Arms 2 (There was a first?) Star Ocean: The 2nd Story (There was a first?) Tomb Raider: Legend (Lara's back as a good game!) Legacy of Kain: Defiance (The third installment in both the Soul Reaver and Blood Omen franchises, not sure how it compared to Blood Omen 2, but Soul Reaver 2 was poor) Suikoden V (Much needed after III and especially IV)

Fixed.

Warlocks aren't a prestige class, though!

Did I see a slight against Warlocks? I'll cut you. I can't play anything but, now. The only way I can is if it's something mixed with Warlock!

I'm playing ICO. Yorda is so helpless. Aww, it's so cute watching these two run around holding hands.

Considering that a large amount of "failure" at combat in CRPGs comes down to either encounters not customized for your party, a bad roll (or succession of such), or (as is to often the case) an expectation from developers that your characters have been powergamed or otherwise optimized heavily towards combat, how is substituting death for a different, yet still existant, penalty a bad idea? Partial failures become a waste of time that is not desired, while still not forcing the party into a cookie cutter design specific for each encounter or the developer's explicit expectation for what your party should include. One thing I absolutely abhored about Baldur's Gate II (although, I love it so) is it expected you towards the end to practically have two fighters in your party with +5 swords. I'm playing a RPG and the only fighter I liked was Sarevok, so up until Throne of Bhaal, closest thing to a fighter I had was Jaheira and Minsc. IF, just IF, D&D characters and parties were capable of overcoming any hurdles thrown at them it would be one thing, but they're not.

My friend commented that speach must have been written by Mel Gibson. I told him it would need more gratuitous blood and limbs flying around in the background.

I own every game worth owning and then some. If I don't own it, you are a lesser being for owning it.

Mine would be a sandbox game like EVE (which has near infinite RP opportunities) just without the Dev and GM corruption. I'm going to avoid saying Blizzard should turn WoW into EVE.

Do they have a purple DS?

An understanding that World of Warcraft can't really undergo drastic changes for free and that maybe it doesn't need to be more RP oriented aby more than Diablo does.

If the people in accountable and paid positions for EVE online can't avoid favoring their friends and creating an "old boy's club," I don't see how people in unpaid and unaccountable positions can be even suspected as potentially avoiding it. Just a single corrupt or even simply overzealous "QM" could ruin an entire server's experience.

It also means you're a princess.

Oh yes, give a group of unaccountable people power (even if it is just rewards). That'll do anything. Or it'll turn into them just favoring their friends, which is what it would explicitly do.

Short winded rant flaming World of Warcraft and anyone who plays it as significantly inferior human beings based on shallow abstract criteria I can't qualify nor support having never played the game.

I take these lists and run them through a database that outputs a purchase profile which I sell to spam sites so they can custom tailor your e-mail junk box.

What is that, a Blue Shift HUD mod?

You should see someone about that, could be a tumor. You've been watching Kindergarten Cop, again, haven't you. You only ever really need to see it once to use that joke for the rest of your life.
