Wrath of Dagon

Does it really matter. How would you like it if I did the same to you so I could know something? The difference is I'm not a terrorist. If a terrorist ever captures you, it won't matter how nice you were to them.

I guess all of you guys know exactly what information CIA got and exactly how they got it. I must say I'm very impressed and flattered to be in such elevated company.

Men of War is supposed to be really good, haven't tried it myself though.

Have you ever played Deus Ex 1? Or System Shock 1 and 2? Or Terra Nova? Or Thief 1 and 2? Thinking Invisible War is a "best" game is totally cool, if you haven't played other similar games. It's like people who think Bioshock is awesome, but have never played System Shock 2. Now if you have plyaed Deus Ex and yet think Invisible war is a superior game then I go: DX is one of the old games I couldn't get into. I got into the Statue of Liberty but was too bored to continue. Not saying it's a bad game or IW is better, just didn't hold my interest long enough to find out.

Not really, but it depends on what you mean by simple.

I couldn't disagree more. The fact that the oligarchic technocracy has sabotaged the education system and turned the average voter into a blathering idiot is not a reason why oligarchic technocracy is justified.

The reason more Americans are obese is most of us don't smoke like chimneys.

Lulz. No wonder you think KotOR is so good. I also think Invisible War is one of the best games I ever played. I guess I'm just not part of the RPG elite.

I might some day, but I find for some reason I can't get into old games when I've tried.

It won't be KOTOR 3.

Sniper.

You're such a cut up, I don't know why you don't do it professionally.

It's OK as a semi-fun shooter if you lower your expectations enough, and there are a few moments that belong in a much better game.

I'm really not sure what to say right now, I started to care a lot more about the characters but some events just don't make much sense to me, which really annoys me.

PC Braid has a level editor! http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/15/braid-pc...a-level-editor/

The doctors are so stuck in hype now I hardly pay attention to them anymore. Every game they make is "their best ever and awesome and fantastic!" I'm halfway through The Stolen Throne, and it doesn't seem very dark at all so far.

Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2 also "recycled KOTOR" - Humm.... I guess they had plan for it way back then. Anyways, Jade Empire, and practically every Bioware game, handles the plot better than KotOR did (not to say that KotOR is a bad game). Well, I haven't played the BG games, what exactly did KOTOR recycle?

I agree with that, my point was specifically about Oblivion though. Why isn't there a point? You're given tasks and you fullfill them, just like in any RPG. In addition you can explore and have adventures. The point is to enjoy the gameplay. I understand not everyone enjoyed the stuff you did in Oblivion, but like I said, that's personal preference.

We already tried nation-building in Somalia, didn't work out so well. I guess Australia can try next.

Freaky

They're not absurd if you consider everything else that's currently available. Sure, comparing it to some perfect game from 10 years ago the scores might be too high, but comparing to the current sea of crap they're pretty reasonable. And of course there's the well know phenomenon of review score inflation. On a 5 point scale, an average game is 3, but on a 10 point scale, it's 7. Also disliking Oblivion is mostly personal preference, it's a solid 8.4 on the quality scale. Just look at the level of detail and compare it to almost any other game.

The analysis was interesting, thanks, I didn't even realize . I have to say the story makes more sense to me now, whereas before it didn't at all.

JE was good until they run out of ideas and time and started to put in filler and recycle KOTOR. Then they said, "hey, we should do that to start with!", and made ME.

I think it improves though. Having said that, if you didn't like anything in the sample chapter, you probably won't like the book either.

Oh do tell! Us non-initiated want to get a piece of the nonsensical pie. You'd probably have to read it in context to see why it would bother someone.
