Don't be so certain until you finish it. Blood Money was a true Hitman game and a stealth approach won't always work for you.

Imperialism calmed Christianity down. Reformation lead to quite a lot of bloodshed on Religious grounds.

He actually mentions quite a few times that he was creating a list of games that have held up well on modern computers, and not one of those looks all that good today. They certainly don't look any worse than Arcanum. In fact some of the older 2D titles work better graphically purely by the strength of using images rather than poor early 3D models.

You could own the latter but only the land of the former. In legal terms that means you could do much more with a slave.

Honestly I don't think 'satisfaction of vengeance' has any place whatsoever in any 'civilised' justice system, and I'm not all that convinced that vigilantism would result. Even if it did, I think enforcing harsher penalties to stop vigilantes would be the wrong way to counteract them - with the right way being locking up and rehabilitating the vigilante. We go the rehabilitation route and we don't have any problems with vigilantism to speak of. The only case where I can imagine it happening would be if Breivik got out of his imprisonment somehow. In which case he'd be deader than dead the moment anyone besides the police got their hands on him(if he's lucky that is). Funny you should mention Breivik as he will never get out no matter his level of rehabilitation. Despite all of this rhetoric your law allows indefinite lengthening of sentences which you'll use to get vengeance on him.

If Obsidian kickstarts a space opera RPG, would you back it?

Actually most likely it is. Some people simply milk 'Hollywood imagination' and make money trying to sell the impossible. And even if their math-bending proves realistic you still need to keep in mind that this FTL system will have planet destroying potential. Blowing up your source and destination wold make for a pretty poor traveling experience. -

Digitalization. Can't do it in fiction since audience will get hopelessly confused about existence without the fleshy bits but that's what makes most sense right now. It also kills the potential for romances. -
Hey look, we are all aware that gamers are sick to the back teeth of PC bull****. That does not preclude a reasoned debate on the matter. I agree and I want to raise another point. Lets say for argument sake people that are pushing feminist ideas or equality have permeated the gaming scene with there ideals of fairness. What negative impact has this had to your personal gaming experience? For starters it ruined many fantasy settings with the stupid insistence on gender equality where it made completely no sense. Okay can you give some examples please I didn't realize that fantasy was the domain of male characters only? Try any pseudo-medieval setting. You cannot have such society undergo the cliché war/plague/famine story and still pretend that modern notions of freedom/equality was an option.

Honestly I wouldn't pay much attention to the misogyny comments made by gamespot. The reviewer is not free from bias herself. GTA5 has bigger problems than it's treatment of women.
-
Little wonder. It's amazing how much money they spent just to produce 10% of "Die by the sword".
-
You really don't need anything fancy. But good news is that there are already videos online showing that rebels are responsible. Apparently they were miraculously discovered just as the report was being announced.
-
Papers please. I never thought doing paper work in dystopian past could hold so much appeal. It's also a great example of how not every game needs to ego boost the player to the level of 'chosen-one saving the world'.

Anyone willing to bet that this will change something?

Time has a wonderful way of making differences irrelevant. There are tons of examples in history where two sides eventually unite for the greater good. It's already happened in the US. We have a bunch of non-denominational mosques in my area alone. that's what happens when you live in a country where its illegal to kill people because they are a different faith rather than it being encouraged. Because that worked so well in northern Ireland. In fact thorough most of western history persecuting religious minorities was a favorite community past-time.

Saints row 4. By far the weakest game in the series. The storyline goes so far of the deep end that developers decided to end it. If irrelevant plot wasn't enough the gameplay gets broken with superpowers early on. With super-travel there is no need for any vehicles and being forced into one feels like a chore. Combat is even worse as there are so many laser flashes and explosions that you are rarely on your feet and not blind. I wouldn't even finish the thing if it wasn't for constant references to previous games pulling me with nostalgia.

Where did you get that idea? Just because anarchist militias didn't fall neatly into military structure of Republicans you can not count out thousands that did fight and die.
-
Do you really think that it's possible to get the 'go ahead' from Russia or China? There is no evidence in the world that could convince these countries. And what evidence does the US have hat Assad used Chemical weapons? Please do tell me. It has common sense and frankly that should be more than enough. And the points stands - any evidence gathering is not only pointless but also a complete waste of time. There are no objective information that can be realistically obtained that would ever break through Russia's and China's shield of interests or your vault of conspiracy theories.

Um no - that's just gambling. Combat has much more dimensions with positioning/aimed attacks/inventory use etc.
-
So is there any benefit to attacking manually? Right now combat sounds like the worst of both worlds.
-
You really can't expect them to suddenly start aiming for a different audience at the end of a series. For better or worse Bioware is now tied to the player-base that enjoys and expect those things.
-
The problem isn't even the camera but the way controls work. Using a pointer to set way-points maybe a basic in strategy but doesn't fit action games at all.
-
Same could be said for the protesters than he had gunned down or the neighborhoods he had shelled. It's safe to the say that Assad wants to be feared and civilian casualties actually help his cause.
