That post made me laugh. But somehow I think living in a fantasy world and dealing with dragons, demons and demi-gods I would think the perception that people would have of your parenting skills is probably not a high priority -
I have to say I thought that Viconia was smoking hot and I really enjoyed the whole Romance arc with her. That type of relationship is exactly what I am looking for in PE, it can be optional but allowed you to build a deep understanding and emotional bond with her. Really important when you are trying to save the world that you can experience a little Romance

Seriously Lurky I credited you with more intelligence than someone to make such an absurd comment or believe that any company isn't concerned with sales and increased profitability. Please read this interview and see the date, its trumps your link with its relevance and the date it was published. I'll quote the section you need to focus on Geraldo] For the future, it's Eternity, what do you see beyond Eternity? [Chris] We'd like to do more games in the Eternity universe. We have the expansion plan, we'd also like to be able to do sequels to the franchise if the initial one sells well enough. http://www.gameranx.com/features/id/15876/article/project-eternity-an-extended-interview-with-chris-avellone-rezzed/ Lurky what world do you live in if you can't see why any company would want good sales of a product? So yes the Sales question is very relevant to the longevity of PE. I didn't respond to Amentep because we have discussed his points many times before and I am sure he is well aware of my view. I would respond to someone who genuinely didn't know my answers

I have to be honest this was the type of response I was expecting. I am still surprised by the general desultory and lacklustre comments from most people. I think Rockstar have an absolute winner with this game. I can't ask for anything more from the series. There seem to be so many new things to do apart from the exciting main storyline
-
Me too. The protagonists from previous games were cardboard cutouts. There's literally nothing to like (or even dislike) about them. CJ had a bit of character but ultimately he was just another yo from da hood, completely interchangeable with the other members of the cast. Niko* has a story and motivation, although the other characters in the game were as shallow as the rest of the supporting cast from the previous ones. *Btw the name means "nobody" in Serbian. And no, its not a name anyone actually has. I must say I am surprised you didn't like GTA4 due to its strong ties to Serbia and the Bosnian War, its not often games incorporate that devastating war into there lore and characters?

Holy smoke Woldan but you never cease to amaze with some of your physical antics. I have always wondered what an Iron Maiden feels like, maybe you should build one, test it out and let us know the result?
-
Yet another excellent observation, we can only hope.

*ahem* http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/07/09/rockstar-leeds-hiring-to-bring-latest-titles-to-the-pc.aspx Not a confirmation but it looks good. This seems like really good news and you are right it bodes well for the possibility that GTA5 will get a PC version, excellent find

Well luckily Afghanistan doesn't, that would be worse than Pakistan having Nukes

I've been there, except I was the dog. Okay that gets my funniest post of the week award

I have to say that GTA5 does look amazing and has some new features that look very entertaining like all the sports, hunting wildlife and bounty hunting. I sincerely hope they release on the PC because I'll be missing out if they don't
-
That does look good but that game is dead to me until they confirm a PC release date !!!
-
Sooooooo, Sky News has just reported that Snowden has agreed to asylum in Venezuela. Now I wonder how he will get there considering the fact that certain countries he wants to fly over will detain the plane?
-
You see that type of saving design would just annoy me, so I won't be purchasing Dark
-
Which one is bad? I liked FEA enough(played every English FE release and FE4 and FE6 through translated emulators) but thought it screwed the pooch when it came to balancing skills and enemy reinforcements. DARK is the bad one, yet I can't stop playing. Think I've played it for 4 hours. I've left the game on without touching it for another 6 hours. I can forgive the game not being an amazing product but I can't forgive the awful save system. Someone needs to take a bullet in their kneecap for that one. I have read bad things about Dark generally, what is the issue with the Save system in your opinion ?

No idea what you mean but it sounds funny

But really, several countries such as Libya, maybe Morocco and a few more really feel like potential for developing strong economies. Libya has a pretty modern government and the highest HDI in Africa, and an international school system with good English education. I'm sure they deserve more attention than they have got. Good points, I see what you mean

Believe me, "former dictatorship transitioning towards democracy open to Western businesses and investment" is a magic concept. You'll be the ass-end of nowhere in one second, and the center of attention for global investors and outsourcing the other. Just like Burma. Sure but Burma has made concrete and definitive moves towards Democratic changes and they should be rewarded. Also investors and analysts generally don't say "investing in Muslim countries is risky" as there are Muslim countries like Malaysia and Indonesia that offer excellent investment choices but they do say "investing in certain Middle East countries is risky at the moment" and I agree with that sentiment considering the tumultuous events we are witnessing due to the Arab spring and the political uncertainty we are seeing. Its the same view we see around certain African countries and what global corporations are prepared to commit to help build there economies.

Nice post JFSOCC I will play PE on normal mode but if available I will tweak the game settings so that there aren't things like flashing map pointers. I want to explore to find quest objectives and I want the combat to be challenging so area of effect around spells to be relevant and no auto-resurrect. I doubt I'll ever play the game on the very hard modes?
-
Yeah I think the Pakistan government and military faces a most invidious task in trying to reconcile the various religious and political factions within the country. I can completely understand any frustration around trying to deal with some of these groups and there objectives.
-
I kinda doubt that. I am curious as to what those counter-argumnets would be. No problem, give me some reasons why the implementation of Romance\Sex in PE is impractical or can't be done?
-
That's an awesome little video

I agree with these expectations but I would also add PC based so that the game benefits from PC architecture Strategic and meaningful combat so that you need to consider your actions in battle and the consequences A new fantasy franchise that is well supported by fans financially so that the world can develop and we see sequels Around the point about combat this was one of the great things I enjoyed about the earlier IE games. You needed to realize if you got turned to stone you stayed that way until Stone to Flesh was cast and there was no auto-resurrection at the end of combat. This made the major battles something you had to think about and plan what spells you needed. The last point I also think is overlooked by many. I don't just want PE to be bought by a few hundred thousand fans, I want millions of people to support this new fantasy initiative by Obsidian. This means some features and compromise need to be included in the game design that appeals to the wider fan base . So things like optional Romance should be included as we know this is a good selling point and draws in people who become almost fanatical. These types of fans are a good thing for the longevity of the PE universe ( I know I am repeating the Romance card again but these and other features that may seem unpopular do make sense ) That's funny, good one
-
Okay that is impressive, its like they have taken the best mod's for the game and incorporated them into one. That's some good development skills Awesome. What !!! Normally I would say its not possible but is Drowsy actually being complementary about a game without being more negative? I never thought I would live to see this day. I now believe in the Tooth Fairy again as anything is possible
