The sequel was my favorite, just avoid the third one or make sure that you know what you're getting into.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
IDK, I was hyped for PoE when I heard that you get your own castle and that you would manage it but the game failed entirely to deliver on that end. DA:O Awakening and NW2 did better on that aspect. I mean, if they're going to make a game about "Tyranny" it has to have a management aspect to it. I don't want roleplay Saddam hiding on a hole in the ground after all.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I personally enjoy the hybrids, mostly because I can choose all actions beforehand and just let it play without everyone waiting their turn. Turn Based Combat got really annoying later in D:OS, specially how you only had 4 guys and were waiting on 20 guys to do their moves. I found KOTOR combat to be unoffensive, it didn't bother me but it didn't grabbed me either.

Music. Must. Go on!
I've been intermittently listening to Faith No More. Mike Patton is one of the better voices out there, plus he is the go to guy for growls in games and movies.

Oh dear Nonek, whilst I love your optimism the fact is that decay consumes us all. Even if their minds where perfectly persevered after the moment of their death it can't reverse the damage that time did before they died. Best to let sleeping dogs lie, rather than wake them up only to realize that they already given their only contribution to the world and are now empty husks that have been left behind. Please don't remind me. Well this is operating on the D&D (and various religions) premise that there is a "soul," that this fantastic organism can see, hear, think and feel just like its fleshy mortal counterpart and is capable of carrying on the life which its body has given up. Indeed that the emotions of life may still rule it and it still exhibits a personality and individuality. Of course as you say its all bunkum, one cannot see without eyes, hear without ears, think without a brain or feel emotions without hormones and what have you, but then again our hobby is a delightful piffle in and of itself. I don't know that, maybe there is a soul that has separate rules than our bodies. After all part of our "selves" is both energy and intangible, I guess that will be something for future (or hopefully current) scientist to find out. Personally I never understood the obsession with soft, decaying flesh. Cold iron is where is at.- David Gaider is now the Creative Director of Beamdog

Also, your idea that the most accomplished minds are the best qualified is erroneous, the best artist in the world might have never picked up the brush. Anyways, **** Gaider and **** BW they're been going downhill ever since DA:O- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Lords of the Fallen remained uncracked for at least 6 months, most of the sales within this period would be piracy free. So yes, you can measure how well a game does without piracy and whether there is a surge in the sales vs the projected sales. Personally I just think they are other factors and that this is just an excuse, also this may be the moment when publishers realize who the real enemy is: Steam Sales.- Bloody dictatorship in Turkey
Yes I can produce links for any debate I have...no issue there I will have to debate gorgeous women with you sometime then.- Iron Tower Studio (The Age of The Decadence) is talking about their next game, a colony ship RPG
My main question is; are they gonna fix their god damn awful combat?- Music. Must. Go on!
I think I like Oldies- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I think it was John Carmack who said, "Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie." this is why I think video game journalism doesn't exist, what substitutes for it is a bunch of try-hards trying to earn a living by peddling crap. I bet this same reviewer praised Skyrim and Fallout 4 for their story. what a sorry excuse of a journalist. I disagree, I seen good articles that argue from a mechanical point and not through subjective bullcrap meant to obfuscate the point. Erik Kain saying that the eagle eye, detective view from Batman and AC detracts from level design and pointing out Thief games as good examples of how to guide players through a quest via good level design. That was good reporting that didn't trying to aggrandize a story that wasn't there. I actually suspect that most games journalist don't actually like games, understand them or even play them.- Iran comes in from the Cold
You should forward that post to the president of Iran, maybe he doesn't know what he is getting into with Russia or maybe they just want their military power and have other plans to keep them afloat. I hear the petrodollar might be in danger. This might be one of those situations where having a state with all the power might be a benefit, since social planning becomes very easy. Yet it comes at the expense of individual growth and instead favors foreign investors, which may be why Russia has been cultivating relations foreign private investors.- Iran comes in from the Cold
Talking in broad terms often leads to misinterpretations, but I still like to be concise and give people the chance to realize what I'm saying without having to overly explain myself. Russia's GDP is high enough that they have to be considered as a world leading economy and the fact that they one of two major agents within their geographical position was mostly what I was referring about. BTW, how is being an economic partner to the US or the EU any better?- Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
Whatever, Hollywood is in decline, TV is on the rise and as soon as people finish migrating to Internet TV it will cement its demise.- Iran comes in from the Cold
These types of views always make me laugh, people who don't like the West assume China will offer them a better deal....more integrity Its so misplaced and spurious,I have seen this in Africa many times. But good luck to Iran....I hope they realize that China is currently restructuring its entire economy so we can expect 3-5 years of instability from them The West is still the best place to invest in and forge economic ties with by far but if countries dont believe this then they can learn the hard way Ok that could be it or maybe you don't understand geopolitics and can't realize that China and Russia are the leading economic and militant powers in the East which means that for political reasons having good relations with them means support in diplomatic matters. In other words; Iran is shopping for a new pimp. - Music. Must. Go on!
