I've decided to just go and re-read Ash: A Secret History. I'll get my dirty, bloody, medival violence there.

Someone posted this on another forum

Congrtulations on the new job, Bokishi!

I paid attention and found the bulk of it uninteresting. The story was initially interesting but then the whole initial hook gets sidelined by mountains of irrelevant side quests and the story veers so far off course from the original setup that finishing the game was more of a chore than anything else. Yeah, I can see that. I felt the story started well and there were interesting things going in the first part with the house of Ballads and the summer court, the widdow and the maid. The last part in the lands of the Winter Court started tying back into that, but by that time you had waded through so much of stuff inbetween that the coherence was lost. Add to that, that there weren't really any interesting npcs in the main story.

Played a bit more of Remember Me, but don't see myself finishing it as fast as Raithe. The gameplay is just not good enough for me to be able to stomach it without looong breaks. The art is great. The world design and story could be great if the game wasn't so extremly linear that it prevents you from beginning to enjoy the world. The combat I found terrible. It's more like a series of QTEs dressed up as action combat: "time your attacks right for the combo" and true QTEs in at least one boss fight so far. Setting up the combos is rather disappointing as well. A three hit combo has to be three punches. The punch you intitialize it with and two of your special punch attacks. By putting a punch into one of the 3 hit combo slots, it can't be used in any other slot of any combo. The 5 hit combo (which is kick-punch-kick-punch-kick) will not be able to use either of those punches but also non of the attacks used in it will be useable for the 3 or 8 hit combos. The altering of memories, as Raithe already mentioned, is rather disappointing. They made it sound like a major part of the game, but it only is very specific situations. Game had a lot of potential, didn't really come close to reaching it. I'd say 6/10

Meh, couldn't find the scene from Coupling about picturing people naked at job interviews.

The world is dull because you ignore everything in it? Hmm I wonder why it is dull then

Honest answer? The people I know IRL who watch the show can't remember who Renley is... With your equation they'd go: "Robert? Has he appeared in the series yet? Yes? Oh, is he the old fat king that dies? Oh, yes I remember him: he was an idiot." (that's pretty much word for word what I had to hear...)

One of those is actually true.

I have hardly played. Was getting interrupted by RL the whole time so gave up. The game has a nice atmosphere, so will spend some time on it when I know I'll be able to enjoy it.

Yes. There are a few more like it.

Yes, pretty much my feeling so far.

Started playing Remember Me. Haven't spend much time in it yet, but what I did see I liked a lot. The art direction deffinitly is up my alley. Will say more when I have seen more.

She also wasn't a character from the book, so she never sat well with quite a few fans. Everyone understood that things from the book would need to be cut, but replacing then adding a new, made up character didn't sit well with everyone. My reaction to her death scene was "Oh, another Ros scene, whatever."

Saints Row: The Third free weekend...

Remove your credit card from Steam. Not just not to bankrupt yourself, but because it is safer, not to store your credit information online. The tiny inconvenience of typing your card number is worth not freaking out as much when an online store gets hacked

Always a shame when a project comes to an end.

Is that Matt Miller marching alongside the Saints at 0:46 ?

They partnered with Steam. Probably all you have on the disc is a fancy way of asking your steam client to download the game.

Its kinda funny though. My scouting states: 5 + 6 = 9

A patch would be nioce, but it's not that bad. At least for me I have the one bug where my Scouting stat is miscalculated, but as my scouts are both veterans with max Patroling, it hasn't affected me all that much.

*shrug* I try to write children's books. If the story can't be told in ten pages with large fonts (excluding illustrations), then its already too long.

I don't get this, isn't it actually better this way? Watched the video, it has a fairly high absurd quota and Anfossi especially seems to be just phoning it in. Still, better this than a rushed sequel to dxhr, I guess. In hindsight, itwouldn't make sense for them to have thief and deus ex come out in close proximity, just like dragon age and mass effect were better for he studio with a more even spread. iPad is a platform I will deffinitly never play the game. So if that builds on the novel and I end up liking the novel I'll always feel that I am missing something

edit: (why do I always end up doing this?)
