  1. ASUS P5L-VM 1394 Pentium 4 631 3.0 GHz 2 GB Kingston DDRII667 RAM The above was 190
  2. The dungeons in Morrowind are horrible, and the NPCs are completely and utterly lifeless. Also, the animations are atrocious.
  3. Heavenly Sword takes 50Gigs? There's no possible way a 7 hour long game requires that much space, unless it was developed by idiots, so I call shenanigans. Edit: Ah, Heavenly Sword is actually less than 18 gigs. Still seems too big to me, though.
  4. I haven't played it, but it's just for lack of monies.
  5. Clearly, "huge disaster" was a poor choice of words. The important bit in my statement was "compared to Morrowind and Daggerfall". If you make a list of what was good, or interesting about Morrowind and Daggerfall, you'll see that pretty much what was good about those games was deliberately excised from the design in Obilvion, while a lot that was crap about them was kept or exacerbated. They also added new features that failed to improve upon the original design in any way, and in fact made the game worse. All this sounds a lot like a disaster in game design to me.
  6. I'm not talking about sales or anything like that. I'm talking about basic design.
  7. I seem to recall those Elder Scrolls spinoffs being pretty awful. And Arena wasn't very good either. As for Oblivion, compared to Morrowind and Daggerfall, it was a huge disaster.
  8. Daniel Faraday. He is the scientist. The never aging guy is Alpert.
  9. Also, who is Faraday's dad? I really hope Desmond manages to save Charlotte.
  10. I'm enjoying the new season a lot.

    You are an Alzheimer patient?
  12. Hopefully, when digital sales make ordinary retailers superfluous, game prices will go down appropriately.
  13. Yeah, but the PC is an open platform while what EA is talking about here is a console, which is a closed system.
  14. Vicky Christina Barcelona. A bit uneven in its script's pacing, but the whole film is just so goddamn sexy, and I'm not just talking about the lead players being hawt. I'm talking about how they're all so incredibly sensuous, from Penelope Cruz's paranoid craziness to Rebecca Hall's sensible, grounded maturity. It actually made sense that Bardem gets to have sex with both Cruz and Johansson at the same time. He really looks and talks and acts like someone capable of pulling it off.
  15. Oliver Reed, a real life awesome dude. Check out the sections on his alcoholism and his death.
  16. The Sims is like a masterclass in making a hardcore PC game appeal to the masses.
  17. As far as I know, everything that was good and unique about Rainbow Six got removed after Raven Shield.
  18. I'd be a lot more interested if they completely axed the predictably-trying-to-scary bits, completely reworked the plot and focused on the kick ass action. Of course, as the game is still called FEAR, I'm guessing that's not going to happen.
  19. I don't really see how this is any worse than the writing in any Bioware game or, indeed, the writing in almost every other game by any developer ever. In fact, despite the overall writing incompetence showcased by Gaider here, it's still better than the writing in many games developed around narrative. All Final Fantasies come to mind.
  20. Well, the War in the Pacific threads are a great source of entertainment. Also, watching your debating ninja skills getting put to work is always awesome. I'd like to point out how not gay and, in fact, actually incredibly manly all this praising, is.
