Judge Hades

The X-Box is a underpowered obsolete system.

The game was indeed badly balance. In every major fight, if the game was properly balanced, should have the PCand friends coming out of it being 90% dead. Minor fights should leave the PCs 30% to 50% dead. This is they are smart in character creation and tactics. If not, then the players should die. There needs to be consequences for playing stupidly.

I would say more along the lines of a sedan and a coupe.

Never heard of the character and the name sounds stupid. What is one of his underlings called? Private Partz?

Not really. I was able to get a "clean" version of it. It is quite handy.

One thing about CRPGs is that I must feel like I am playing my character and not the developers. I always make my characters in PnP and that should be true in CRPGs. I have no interest in playing someone else's character because I don't know their history, their personality, and so on. It was one of the major flaws in PS:T but as the game went on I did feel like I was playing my character due to all the options it gave during play. That was not the case in Gothic 2.

If a game doesn't work there is no reason to have it in your game library. Especially if it is a console game. I have no interest in a short POS such as Fable.

Actually it is quite simple for me to get a new account on the Bioware forums. Just change my IP address and I am in. Since I use a dynamic IP address each time I log on. It would be rather simple for me to make a new account and post on their forums. J.E., it is geared for shooters because that is the only style of game that have been made with the engine. An engine is only as good as the games being made on it.

Good thing I am not a SW fan then.

Like I would believe anything that that bugger says.

I was talking about the Unreal Engine as a whole not the various versions. As for Deus Ex, it is the best shooter I have ever played but it is still just a shooter. As for Bioware, we will have yet another formulaic game dealing with fours, female betrayers, and predictable plotlines. I don't even bother with Bioware, their games, or forums any more.

I'm not. I didn't bother going to the theatres to watch Episode 3. I didn't bother going to see Ep 2 there either. I downloaded off Kazaa, played through it and fast forward the crappy bits, and made my judgement from that. I will not be wasting any money on any Star Wars movie after EP1. Hell, I still have the OT tapes and play them when I get the urge to watch Star Wars. No, I am judging the quality of the prequels on their own merits in comparison to contemporary movies such as the Lord of the Rings series, Blade series, Titan A.E., Fifth Element, and the such the prequels sucked.

The prequels sucked. The remaking of the original trilogy sucked. Episode 3 will suck.

Gothic 2 is one of the worse games I played. No significant character creation, hell you cannot even choose gender which is a basic option in most CRPGs. Also the controls of the game sucked big time that I couldn't even coordinate an attack. I mean an intuitive user interface would be nice, you know. It is a waste of money.

As I said before being capable of doing something is irrelevant to what is actually done. I can buy a shotgun and blow away my boss, but that is irrelevant to the fact that I haven't done it yet. I rather deal with what is actually out on the market and what is tangible than deal with what if. So far the Unreal engines have produced no games of substance.

ATI makes great cards... and crappy drivers. Even more reason to go with NVidia

Gothic 2 is one of the worse CRPGs I have played. Sorry, you are not selling me on the basis of the Gothic series. :puke:

Really? What good hardcore CRPGs have been made with the Unreal engines? None that I have seen. Just because an engine is capable doesn't mean that it will be used as such. What can be done is irrelevant to what is actually done and the tech has been used and geared for shooters.

Its no excuse. Its just the way it is.

But that graphics engine is geared for shooters, and not for CRPGs.

Fallout 1 was playable graphic wise. So was BG.

Don't hope. Do.

It doesn't matter what settings you guys have. Whent he movies play the screen is resized to 640x480.

I doubt KotOR 3 will allow the player not play a force user.

I doubt it. The tech is geared for shooters and not games of substance. Yes, this sounds like a visceris mode moment but I have yet seen a good game done with the Unreal engine.
