Dollhouse
I feel that Whedon does better stuff when he has more freedom(Buffy/Angel) to experiment and do more of a drama/comedy(and managing both while not taking itself too seriously) than a straight up drama. Even though you can pretty much do anything with the Dollhouse concept, most of the time the imprints are either some super ninjas or glorified prostitutes. Maybe he just needs more time to flesh out the characters, but for all the bad Buffy episodes there were also really good ones(like Hush, OMWF, The Body, Becoming etc.). Not that Eliza is helping, either. She did a good job as Faith, especially in Angel, but she didn't have to carry the whole show and have a different personality each week. The Dollhouse concept is explored pretty well in the cyberpunk novel Altered Carbon, if anyone cares. I'm still wondering why they haven't done multiple copies of the same person in different bodies or something like that. They seem to stick to their lame multiple personalities coming through thing instead of exploring the possibilities of the concept itself. Oh and Amy Acker is awesome, she would probably make a much better lead.

Yeah man, that eye scene lost them a bunch of viewers, I still don't know what they were thinking putting that there.

Dead Space
You'd get bored with it half way through anyway and probably hate yourself for upgrading the assault rifle instead of the suit or pistol.

"Epic Mickey", Warren Spector's Wii Project
Or it's a timed exclusive, until Sony's stick and Microsoft's Watchamacallit hit the market. First of all those are going to need a year or two to become more than gimmicks and secondly they are different enough that porting between them is most likely not feasible. Wii to PS3 might be doable, but Natal is pretty different.

"Epic Mickey", Warren Spector's Wii Project
The sad reality will be that even if it gets all the critical praise in the world and is the best game ever, Wii Play(with Wiimote) and Wii Fit will continue selling millions without breaking stride while the super special awesome Mickey game that they probably spent a whole lot more money on, will just sell "ok" or maybe "well". The concept is actually pretty good. It's not just "ZOMG Mickey is emo now", but it's about the OLD Disney stuff and weird Robot-Goofy as you saw on the last page.

"Epic Mickey", Warren Spector's Wii Project
Great, but it's Wii-only. Who came up with that great business decision? On an unrelated note the Wii Balanceboard was almost outselling the PS3 in North America.

Yeah. This thread doesn't have nearly enough boobs. FAIL It filled the anime elf quota nicely, though. Also, needs more funny gifs.

The reason for Alpha Protocol's delay
Please, is this the subforum "Alpha Protocol Speculation & Discussion" or is it "Alpha Protocol Speculation & Calling Each Other Trolls"? Apparently it's the "let's try to make funny fake threads and fail" subforum...

So, Is this game delayed or not?
I haven't seen them on any screenshots. If they come off, they're not real cyberpunk shades. @Raithe: Third person combat and "cinematic dialogue" = Mass Effect. The only thing missing is the stealth and the spy stuff.

Help With EaW
Try the way you usually do it? If that doesn't work, maybe it's a bug?

so pissed at Obsidian
I'm pretty sure that AP is mostly unmoddable or very unmod-friendly. Also, the voice might be an issue, you're going to be Michelle "trannysurprise" Thorton

Yeah, but wasn't the OP pretty much asking for a female skin ala NWN2 etc.?

Help With EaW
If you had played a ton of EaW, it would. I don't know why anyone would play any EaW, though.

Deus Ex = sunglasses & cyberpunk AP has neither.

so pissed at Obsidian
Slowtrain, I agree. @Grunker: I can think of very few games where there was any significant difference to the game/story based on your gender. Can you think of some? I guess it made some difference in the Fallouts, but even that wasn't particularly dramatic.

As things are going now, if I were Obsidian, I would release it DD only, in a non-crowded month and rely on word of mouth. Not that they could, with SEGA(most likely) owning the IP. I think some game developer said that the first thing to do was to make sure that you own the IP and not the publisher. Also it wouldn't work too well with the whole multiplatform thing.
