[intelligence] So you fight the Good Fight with your voice on a holotape?

Problem, modern action games?

By spamming the triple batclaw attack you can knock all suckers down. If you time it correctly, they'll get fried.

This is actually one of the few games where quest markers and all the other handholding make sense. Jensen has a computer stored in his brain/eyes. Same could be said for Fallout 3 with the PIPBoy.

Well, the plot takes a huge nose-dive after Heng Shai/Heng Shan/whatever. Gotta love cutscene-induced stupidity.

He reminded me of the end-boss of Wolfenstein 3D.

I beat the first boss dude by throwing all the gas cannisters conveniently placed all over the room in his face. He seemed immune to gunfire.

I thought DRB thugs were non-augmented?

Jensen sounds like Christian Bale doing his Batman voice. I'm starting to warm to the guy. I don't like the gameplay much, though. Gunplay feels very sluggish and stealth just isn't my thing. It's very easy to abuse the AI as well. Enemies act like retarts after you've downed one or two of their buddies.

I saw Green Lantern recently, I liked it less than Thor. Acting was pretty bad and the ending fight with Parallax was stupid. I really liked Mark Strong as Sinestro, though.

Berserk

I'd link to one of those Kronar comics on Oglaf, if it wouldn't get me banned.

That's probably because they hired actual voice actors for the expansions, rather than let the developers do it? The voice-over in DS2 was terrible, but still had its charm.

No idea what PF stands for, but 0 PF should be the founding of Zaramoth's empire.

Hypocrite douchebag detected.

In any case, the Shield should be at the other side of the world somewhere. If it somehow ended up in Ehb, there should be quite the explanation for it.

The environments in SI felt quite Morrowind-y after the ultra-bland Cyrodiil, Mania reminded me of Ascadian Isles and Dementia of Bitter Coast. I also remember a lot of the dungeons having small puzzles and little backstories.

Well the cool guys card is working, then, don't give consumers too much credit. Have they really trash talked those two that much ? I remember them saying their game will look better than DA2 but nothing else, or I've forgotten. Here's their latest:

I don't get it either. They're trying too hard to pull the "cool indie guys" card with their trash talking of BioWare & Bethesda, only to push out a title that's even more dumbed down than the aforementioned devs' latest titles... and somehow they get a free pass for all their histrionics while no-nonsense developers like Piranha Bytes, Larian Studios or *gasp* Reality Pump are all but ignored.

Picked up my Deux Ex "Benelux Edition". It comes with a whole lot of extra stuff like double-barred rifle, grenade launcher, 10.000 credits, sniper rifle... is this normal? I never asked for this.

Pity I didn't know that. I only use Vix and Sartan to do their personal quests (I don't like the other half-giant either), but it would be nice to take along Finala in Aman'lu straight away.

I loved only parts of Oblivion (both Gothic and even Two Worlds that came out in or around the same year, and did pretty much the same thing, were frankly way better). On the other hand, Shivering Isles was amazing, and Knights of the Nine was better than any questline in Oblivion as well.

Now that I think of it, actually, in Broken World the main character no longer had the shield with him/her right? I wonder what happened to it. It's pretty useless anyway without the Agallan pillars.

I wonder if the ME2 writers paid Cage royalties.
