The irony is that he's complaining about 3E being completely rigid and inflexable because he's being completely rigid and inflexable about it.

Yeah Xard, go back to hiding behind the internet!

WE SEE YOU LURKING!

If I could use the free camera without it getting stuck in walls or up my characters butt i'm almost completely happy.

Halo is popular because it did what no other game had done before, made a console FPS that was actually fun to play. People get up in arms about Halo 'not being that good' and in a sense they're right, but it's because they're judging it from completely the wrong point of view. The effect it's had on the genre and the indistry as a whole speaks for itself, but the point is that Bungie made a console FPS that WASN'T just a dumbed down PC FPS that you had to had to play with a contoler, it was designed for consoles and most of the indistry now follows the president it set. Adding in coop at a time when coop games simply weren't being made restarted that phenomenon too and made Tale bitter and twisted. Exactly the same thing is probably just about to happen to RTSs and it's going to incite the exact same 'it's not that good' responce from PC RTS fans for whichever console RTS eventally breaks the barrier of making a console RTS intuative and fun.

Would they accept it if I mailed them a poop?

Hey, thanks for reminding me, I bought JA2 on steam a little while ago but got distracted. It's time to dig it back out. I agree by the way, the seperate strategy/tactics sections of JA2 and Xcom are both awsome.

Didn't they learn from Ninja Gaiden? bah.

Carbine? More like Carmine LOL.

BRACE FOR IMPACT!

I'm not a huge fan of a redneck populus armed to the teeth, but I basically agree with what you're saying about it being far more of a social issue, and that people ranting about gun control is just dodging the main problem. However, the statistics gathered from Washington don't outright suggest that anti-gun laws are ineffective as much as they suggest that such laws are very hard to uphold in an obviously violent city which has very little control over guns entering or leaving its bounderies. You're right though, the majority of america doesn't want gun control and geographically america is far too big and 'open' (given its land-links to both mexico and canada) to really consider this an option that would have any real effect, even ignoring a stuborn populus and a constitutional law that's linked to the very founding of the countary itself. Gun control HAS 'worked' in other countaries, but they are by and large countaries that are able to restrict the flow of illegal guns through their borders and have a population that actually supports said gun control. What i'm saying is that I wish people wouldn't start ranting about gun control any time there was a shooting in america since canada 'proves' that a civilian population can be allowed to own guns without trying to shoot up a school every other week and that the issue obviously lies elsewhere. Personally i'd start to point the finger at a school system that seems to do nothing but ostrosize the social misfit as being a freak of nature.

Possibly not in the way that you mean, but on a purely technical level, yes we are. Comparing the life expectancy, average height and cranium size of modern people to those who lived 2000 years ago attests to that much.

I *think* he's suggesting he still likes 2E. Which puts some very nice irony in his post, being that it sucked compared to 3E.

You know, this reminds me of that cirtain type of person who spends their whole live in a corprate setting trying to get up the ladder, then find their 'true calling' and go off and become an alternative healer or some other kind of hippy. Follow your heart PS3, follow your heart!

And you get what you pay for. It cost them too, Ace Combat 6 'mainly' moved to the 360 because it wanted to experiment with multiplayer and saw LIVE as the perfect platform to do it. And boy did it shift a lot of 360s in Japan (such that, most of the Japanese guys i've played with have AC6 as one of only three or so games they've actually played on it).

I was thinking about that, they cirtainly left a lasting impression but they are far from being mainstream, esspesally by todays standards. On the other hand, i've had friends play KotoR who don't have a clue about d20 or CRPGs in general. It's stealth mainstream, sure, but it's still mainstream.

That same sillyness annoyed me back when I would have thought that Hildegards signiture was cool and not just dorky. Go figure.

It's a fair point though, CRPGs are as 'mainstream' as they are now thanks mostly to bioware. Black Isle et al might have made better games, subject to opinion, but it's Bioware thats really put CRPGs on the map.

I'm the asian chick, you can be the fat one. haha, only joking, there is no fat one. EDIT: wait, are you just bitter that you have no friends?

Yeah, i've got high hopes for the next Barbies Horse Adventures.

Having said that, the squad command and suppression mechanics were both very nice.

Well, there's already a grey area regarding girls who are technically underage but still sexually matrue. the legal age in the UK is 16, and in canada it gets as low as 14 but ONLY among peers. That is to say, an adult getting happy happy with a 14 year old is going right in the party-van (more so if they was in a position of power over the child), but a 16 year old doing the same won't get put right on the sex offenders list. This goes counter to the way I understand things are done in the US whereby if an 18 year old sleeps with a 17 year old he gets a criminal record. This is to say, while the filenames hint at actual pedophilia rather than gray-area material there has to be a distinction when branding 'pedophilia' since it isn't really properly done in the US to my understanding.

Erm, the issue here isn't the harm people do looking at it, it's the harm that's done by making it and therefore, by proxy, of being a customer to those who make it, encoraging them to make more. In the eyes of the law it doesn't matter where the individual got it, he's still helping it spread. EDIT: you know, this is the problem with opening a thread then only replying to it 10 minutes later.

The main problem with BiA is that most of it was a series of puzzlemaps with only one path through them. Put the tank here to kill the mg, but don't put it too far forward or the AT gun will kill it, so use the tank to take out the MG then flank the gun with infanty to kill the crew so you can use the tank to destroy the roadblock ect ect. There were some awsome setpeice battles with freeform attack/defend objectives, but too much of the above really.

I hope it's Vista exclusive!
