Yeah, it's not a real game. I just wanted to spread the awesomeness of The Video Game Name Generator Magical Landmine Pimps Yeah, this is a spam thread by a mod. Enjoy it, before I delete it.

The tactical FPS genre really deserves mroe love, but with SWAT gone and Rainbow 6 having been kicked in the head by the marketing department, the genre seems to be, for all intents, dead.

(on SWAT 4) "A predecessor to the Rainbow Six series." Wat? Edit: After I saw some of his earlier reviews, I remembered him. While a lot of his criticisms of FFVIII are more than valid, the generic criticism (which everyone makes) that it is boring and grindtastic is, not only wrong, but really stupid if you're going to defend any FF game in opposition to VIII. If you actually use your brain when playing, FFVIII eventually becomes the Final Fantasy game with less grind ever. The bit about the dog's name was awesome, though.

So incredibly awesome.

The AI is completely incapable of launching invasions over sea. Not only is this massive and literally game breaking as far as the campaign is concerned, but also, the exact same bug was in the original release of Medieval 2. It's like they either didn't do any QA, at all, or they just didn't care about it. Either way, it's bloody unnerving and the AI is retarded enough without this bug. In fact the AI is like one giant bug. Also, it turns out the battle map no longer reflects the battle's location in the campaign map, so no more using the terrain to gain an advantage over the AI, for example. Not a bug, as such, but the removal of what was a fundamental feature in previous iterations of the game.

Why is it that CA always releases its games with the same forking game breaking bugs? And why don't reviewers ever notice these bugs?

They must use a cattle prod to deliver their plot twists.

That's quite an awesome interview, I'd say.

Holy fork.

I personally think you underrated it. The way the slums and its denizens are portrayed is simply incredible, the camerawork kicks ass, and they manage to depict the drug problems and the whole mess of a social situation without judging or demonizing anyone, even Z

Yes, this was already known.

That first one is pretty awesome.

For enjoyable co-op all that is required is a game that isn't broken. Even that Big Rigs game would be fun if it had co-op.

Bear in mind that Herodotus was about as trustworthy in his tales as Loki. Also, a MILESTONE:

That's no quite true and the Greeks weren't much better, even in Pericles' Athens.

Will there be a difference in texture quality between different platforms?

Well, the game is at aleast as good as previous Total Wars but, again, it is seriously let down by the AI. I mean, it's like, again, they didn't do any work whaqtsoever on the AI, which in a grand strategy game such as this one is pretty unforgivable.

Actually, looking at it again, obviously the top picture is from the PS3 version. I'd like to think that the nicer looking, E3 picture is from the PC version. Anyway, isn't the PS3 better able to handle larger textures, compared to the 360?

I'd say it's due to the newer one being the 360 version, but I could be wrong.

I didn't realize 300 the comic book was that bad.

It governs roofing and general home maintenance skills in the game? He'll be visiting places where rainfall and general humidity are a serious issue.

The GT stream is really jerky, for me, even if I let it preload for a long while. Anyway: awesome. Finally getting to see the CQC in action is great, and AP seems to have the best fighting animations this side of anything. Facial animations could still use a bit of polish, but they're already at least as good as in Mass Effect. I'd like to hear some clarification on how the lockpicking minigame works as it looks to close Oblivion's minigame for comfort.

I'm really not liking the decreased number of provinces in Empire. M2TW already had too few provinces, as it was. Also, the number of playable factions is really, really limited, especially for such a large number of existing factions.

My guess is 17.

My problem with Tactics was that the combat was never as quite good as other games in its TBS genre. Also, I hated that they removed the hex grid.
