Seriously, WTF? Anyway, didn't know there was a 60's Italian Job - I'll have to dig it up. You can't go wrong with Michael Caine and Benny Hill.

It was already pretty bland at the time of release.

You know what would be cool? If the player could bound and gag NPCs with materials found on location. Like with the room's drapes, or an electric chord, or the guy's tie. Please make the environments as interactive as possible.

"Dated top-down contrivances"? I take issue with that.

How's the levelling up? One perk for every level, and no traits really sound like dumb ideas.

Crotch punching and eye poking my way through the wasteland would have made this a must buy for me. And other than the difficulty of making proper animations for it, I don't see why they decided to make melee pointless.

It's a huge shame about the melee combat. Reading this thread, it's the biggest thing stopping me from getting the game.

How about Fallout: Total War?

"Mediocre Americans are ignorant of history, while mediocre Europeans are obsessed with it."

It's kind of awesomely hilarious how one of the romantic interests in NWN2 is a stalkerish creep.

Which is why just stating that something is an opinion is pointless and not constructive in any way.

How did you reach that conclusion? Most music is crap, most movies are crap, most books are crap, most everything done by people is crap. Why would games be any different?

Then grinding is just a matter of opinion.

It just means death you nitwit.

I'm going to disagree. Say everyone is a force user - how many is that per server? 25,000 divided among Jedi and Sith plus the force using NPCs, but Star Wars is supposed to be an entire galaxy. Even if every PC is a Jedi/Sith, they'd still make up a small part of the galaxy's total population. You just have to imagine that there are a trillion NPCs on each serverwho, completely by coincidence, never show up anywhere.

I'd say Star Wars is about the worst setting possible for an MMO. It can't work when everybody wants to be a jedi. Are there any Jedi jawas?

I think playing through Barcelona is very much worth it. Everything after sucks donkey balls, though. I'd say it was the best RPG setting of the past ten years. Bloody waste.

Proof or it didn't happen!

Peter is a complete idiot. Also, makes half of what happened in the previous two seasons pointless.

Does anyone know one of those handy reverse blurring algorithms from spy movies, so we can actually tell what's going on the TV screen?

I thought you loved Diablo 2.

I thought the casting was mostly spot on in The Cat's Meow. I think Dunst and Lumley nailed their characters perfectly. Herrmann and Tilly were awesome as well. Eddie Izzard was the only actor who disappointed me, as I felt he made Chaplin into too much of a caricature. I never really got all the hate that Kirsten Dunst gets.

No. At best, it could be argued that mediocre games are improving at an alarming rate. Games that actually move the medium forward are very few and far between.
