ShadowPaladin V1.0

Never happened to me. Nothing to do with bugging out. You already proved quite nicely with your elitist twaddle that a gaming PC is way beyond most peoples means :D Personally It's bugger all to do with cost. Got more cash than I know what to do with. But it is about hassle. I dont feel like buying games only to sit around and optimize them.

It always takes a while to get used to a new control system. Just out of interest how do they deal with the weapon and summon/companion selections on the PC?

It's hard to take Hades seriously isnt it :D

Well if you think games are that important I would say you were the one missing out not me Sure because I am happy with how it runs. Trouble free out of the box. Have to go back a long way to find a PC game that did that.

So much envy :D I thought he was ok in Lord of the Rings. Wasnt really a film for acting as much as casting. Enjoyed PotC, hated Troy he seemed totally out of place in that and the whole bow thing just smacked of legolas the return. The new bond.. Liam Neason although I havnt seen him since EPI or that guy out of Red Dragon, Ralph something or other. Ewan McGregor could probably pull it off, if they went back to Bonds roots.

You wouldnt be the first. But it works perfectly on a control pad.

Where did I say that ? I did say for the price of an Xbox it's impossible to build a gaming PC and no one has yet disproved it. Still making stuff seems to be something you enjoy so carry on. It's got nothing to do with being informed. But rather how much effort do you want to expend just to play a game.

Lets see , no bugs. No major slowdowns. Not enough time to read the loading hint screens. Yep fine seems to fit that. Would my PC run it better, highly likely given it's specs. But equally likely that it would require driver upgrades, waiting for patches and all the other crap that goes with being a PC gamer. Been there done it, not interested.

You didnt give enough system details. What like you are Really ? Just how many PC titles of note have been released this year. For anyone with common sense this isnt even a debate. It's you talking crap.

Huh try making sense Hardly Well you should be used to being wrong by now so not a big deal for you. And I hope you get your blindness fixed , your names rather appropriate isnt it. Read what babise is writing, you may learn something.

They are kind of in the same catagory. But you do have 8 different weapon catargories. Which means overall you get a lot to choose from,without carrying around enough to arm a small country. Although at first you are limited by not having the skills by the end of the game you will have most of them and be able to use most , if not all of the weapons. It all ties in with the type of summoned companions you use. They have varied abilities which change how combat plays out.

Well you know how in normal games creatures drop all sorts of odd things ? (there is even a joke about it in the game). In Bards Tale monsters drop appropriate "junk" like Druids will drop models of stonehenge, druidic pants, mistleto etc. Wolves only drop pelts (with one exception). Rather than you have to sell it every time you visit a town the game automatically turns it into silver. Likewise when you get an upgrade weapon it turns your old weapon into silver. I like it because in games like CoN and BGDA your always having to gate back to unload junk. It's something you never have to do in Bards Tale, you only shop when you want to buy something which also means that your game time isnt getting padded out with "selling time". So while I wouldnt disagree (they are not lying) I would say that I saw it as a good thing rather than a bad thing and I never thought anything was missing except pointless shopping time.

No never particularly felt the urge either. Who wants to lug a PC around, not me. Oh look clueless again. Do you think 52" TV's come without HD Where do you get the idea I've only gamed on a console. It just makes you look like an ass.

Well since you cant prove that it's not really relevent. Of course it's not like duh. Once the new gen consoles come out who cares about the Xbox. Consoles have a finite lifespan it's part of the deal.

The area in the demo is a special case where they need to respawn for a reason. I had a great laugh at the expense of someone who spent over 5 hours in the viking tomb Normally some will respawn when you exit and re enter a map. Although some creatures will never respawn and some will change depending on what chapter you entered the map.

Maybe in your conclusion. But we have seen time and time again just how flawed your conclusions are so they mean little anymore.

To play one game or to play games in the future too?

Because it's a TV :D

Dont know I've only played the demo but I enjoyed it. I'd definately rather a gamepad though. As for what it is, it's a series of scenarios from points of each movie. The demo is the begining of EPI. Play the most memorable and exciting scenes from The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and the forthcoming Episode III Revenge of the Sith Massive array of vehicles including Naboo fighters, pod racers, speeder bikes, and yet-to-be-unveiled vehicles from Revenge of the Sith Over 30 playable characters Two player 'drop in, drop out' mode Free-play mode where unlocked characters can be played in different scenarios to the films. Use 'The Force' to manipulate environments and objects in order to solve puzzles Collectables that can be used to unlock hidden levels and vehicles Authentic sounds from the films provided by Skywalker Studio

That only applies to the US. Big market yes but unlike MS not their only market. Microsfots "merger" is also going to put a different spin on things legally.

bloody hell that was fast. Thanks

It's called Kingdom of Heaven.

It's all that equality stuff. I once saw someone get a lecture on a bus because they gave up their seat. I've been glared at for holding a door open for someone carrying two shopping bags stupid ungrateful woman.

If you think about it though, that is only logical since you are now familiar with the system. It's like when I played Shadow Hearts and ShadowHearts II. In the first I had a bloody time and half getting used to the judgement ring which made the game "difficult" in the second one I could nail the critical zone 90% of the time which made the game a whole lot easier. One of the things I did in KOTOR was to create a character to be a smuggler rather than a Jedi. Which meant he was way too smart for the game because skills were next to useless and suffered in other stat areas. Would have made a great smuggler though.. And as he was as smart or maybe a bit smarter it made digging up the twist a couple of hours into the game pretty easy.

Takes me longer than that just to get off Peragus.
