Finally finished it. It's a good game overall but sadly feels schizophrenic. Old school action senselessly shoehorned into a modern shooter campaign. The design would work much better with some sort of mission design like in Painkiller. And it could definitely use more content.

Are thoes just negative highlights or does the reviewer really complain incessantly before giveing the game an outstanding score?

I'm not sure I understand the case you are making. Is it that violent changes in government never last without outside financial backing? And I'd like to add that after WW1 allies had no interest in destabilizing Germany and many colonists fought for the British during American Revolution.

Funnily enough the script is a work of a comic book writer Rick Remender. I sometimes wonder why do they waste professionals on games that could easily do without a story.

I'm not sure if the demo is a good representation of the full game. It features only echo mode while campaign works a little differently.

"Whole big new world" doesn't really make sense for a action rpg XBLA title. It could if it takes form of micro-transaction driven free-to-play mmo. Maybe the game is on XBLA due to simplicity of Microsoft points.

Well the ascension in 9 seemed pretty final to me.

Not sure I like those ideas. Ultima has run it's course and Storm of Zehir did not make for an promising demonstration of what Icewind Dale 3 could look like. But it's nice to see that he realizes how over ambitious Alpha Protocol was. Going first time from stat based to action and trying to meld three different gameplay styles in an unfamiliar engine was never going to end well.

That's simple. He'd be killed for talking and can't refuse the offer. Here comes Godfather the RPG.

It's too bad about Defiance. Sounds like it could have brought back some originality into fantasy RPGs.

That is a question of personal opinion. I'm far less impressed by creating fire from nothing that say a localized earthquake or a explosive-strength shock wave.

So how is the demo? Have they finally made some changes to the battle engine? There was some talk of heroes but I hope other things got reworked as well, especially since the setting is rather dull.

Seems a little too soon for Dow3. Retribution will still be selling by then and how much can they show after 5 months of work? Company of Heroes Online cancellation notice supposedly spoke of “soon to be announced future installment”.

And what kind of evidence could publisher provide? Save for occasional exception like Chaos Theory or Assasins Creed 2 crack times for PC games are very consistent. Difference between games cracked on day 1 and ones that took a week are unlikely to be significant. You

Is that the same system and settings that old Realms of Arkania games were based on? Stats seem the same but there are no flaws visible on character sheet.

Little off-topic but What kind of stuff? I never saw any dropped content with him even though it always seemed he was meant to somehow .

Dawn of War 2:Retribution Multiplayer Beta - sadly the same old mess. Maybe the singleplayer will make up for it.

Apparently the battle plan was to use tunnels. Not sure how they can go through the dam and cut off NCR retreat but that

Did they change the skill so that you can't mindread everyone without point investment? If so I retract my statement. Otherwise you can do all that without retarding your combat skill progression. It's only a matter of cost vs. benefit and I don't believe the potential gain of a smaller XP debt justify putting a single skill point into mindreading.

All of which is largely pointless as the game will cut your kill XP the moment you start to out-level monsters. The XP debt is meaningless - it's pretty clear the game was balanced to a non-wisom/non-mindreading character. It made some sense when damage was level scaled as 2 extra player levels made a huge difference in combat but in DKS I can't see any point. Especially in the expansion where most of my skill points came from books generously given away with completion of every quest. And I can't see why would you care about armor, the biggest problem I had was doing too little damage. Solutions that cost you XP and rewards that can have little to no use. That doesn't sound like reasonable trade.

You seriously put 14 levels into mindread? It's one of the most useless skills in game. Not only are majority of quests are solvable without it, the XP-for-equipment trades will usually screw you over as they produce items for different classes. And even when mindread is at level 1 your XP debt is usually worth no more than few trash mob kills.

you didn't even bother to read my post, did you? I asked to name only D&D games except IWD, ToEE, PoR and BG. try again He did. Eye of the Beholder games were d&d with race selection.

At least we now know that dodge moves are in - rolling can be plainly seen in the video.

No, I am afraid my english skills are not up to the task. I had to make do with a summary. That's good to know but I meant the letter itself. I was under impression that it was published after the Glorious Revolution, unless I got the dates wrong. I'm sure many people know that Qur'an contains passages justifying discrimination and violence. I just don't see it as reason to decry the whole religion. Bible and Torah also have parts full of aggression yet they did not make infanticide acceptable in respective societies. As for Islamic elites and their academic record - I can't say I have sufficient knowledge in those matters to pass a definitive judgment on it. I

First of all - calling Locke work seditious is a bit of a stretch. He was not proposing anything extraordinary compared to political institutions in other parts of Europe at the time. Secondly - the concept of divine rights is a Christian invention. Islamic philosophy never claimed that ruler power was absolute. You may want to read about avarroe then. That Islam would become just as much a political philosophy as a religion was by no mean preordained.
