Metal Gear Solid III
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to ShadowPaladin V1.0's topic in Computer and Console
I've put off my order list till friday (another week in advance shows up then) thanks for you all for your comments so far. It does indeed appear that the game will be well worth a purchase. -
It's one of those games that you look at and thing wtf but it's an incredible game. The only flaw with the first one was the camera was a bit jerky and could make you feel queasy after a while. Squall popped up in the first one as did Yuffi, Tidus and a couple of a others.

Can someone spill about handmaiden?
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to SWfanfromwayback's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
does she know her mother was a jedi yet? After sparing ask her to get dressed then comment on her new clothes. Or you can ask Kreiea and get the same sort of result I think. When I trained her I got this line about the force being in her blood or something. For a funny dialogue ask her to get dressed while you are not wearing anything. -
New Dr Who looks bloody awful.

Ah I watched the TV show then read the book afterwards so I probably just transfered the images to the book as I read it. -
KotOR 2's ending

KotOR 2's ending
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to DarthLightsaber's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Not sure, maybe I can ask Sarah Kestleman if she was recalled for any emergency VO. I didnt even realise who she was until I saw her on Midsommer Murders on Sunday. :"> I don't like it though even if it is an ending. I like to sit back and enjoy my endings rather than clicking through them. I would have been really happy with a video of each companions fate which had Kreias voice over the top of it. Right after KOTORII I played Suikoden IV, it not only had a 30 minute ending, but it also summed up the fates of 108 characters, ok it was only a sentence or two , but it was nice and if you only had to do 10 you could devote more time to it. That one had an odd end boss sequence though (for a JRPG anyway). I've talked to quite a few people and some people do find the game hard, or at least die a few times. One of the real negatives about death is it pulls you out of the game. On the boards you generally get a population of seasoned gamers. -

It's the guy out of hardware and the office. I'll reserve judgement for now. -
Breaking news. Obsidian is working on a third project that is not a sequel or a Bioware liscence.

Is it an RPG ? this is so 20 questions..

Consume you it will like it did Obi Wans apprentice

KotOR 2's ending
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to DarthLightsaber's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
That is part of the ending. It occured to me after I had played the game twice. At that point when you are talking the battle is ended. Now your getting the conclusion. I'm not at all suprised if people see it as part of the game though rather than part of the ending. -
KotOR 2's ending
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to DarthLightsaber's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
The poll needs a third option. Somthing like it didnt suck but it could have been so much better. -
How old is your Xbox ? Has it been modded? And ? Being on top of it makes a difference how? It was battered but that dosnt mean it couldnt fly again. T-3 was in there somewhere frantically fixing things. What truth ? Thats just your truth. My truth is that I had a four almost bug free games. I'm sorry if that upsets you , but it's the truth. Then your not doing it right. Like I said Caveat Emptor. If you rushed out and got the game because you were all giddy with exitement rather than waiting to see what it was like. No ones fault but your own.

KotOR 2's ending
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to DarthLightsaber's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Suck would be too strong a word. I posted this on another thread but I'll copy it here because it sums things up for me. I think it would have seemed more complete if rather than talking to Kreia which seems like part of the game rather than an end sequence it was dealt with after the fact with a Kreia voice over, that would have been spooky. Obviously better if it was animated, but even some still pictures with voice overs would have worked. Although technically that little chat with Kreia was part of the ending. It didnt have that end feel to it as a cinematic summation would have. -
The importance of endings
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Kaftan Barlast's topic in Computer and Console
I cant think of a Sqare/Enix Squenix game where I havnt enjoyed the ending. Re release was on the PS. -
it's alot more than just the ending and you know that. why do you people keep dismissing this as if nothing is wrong? there are several references in the game that refer to cut material. since this material is cut, one does now know what the hell the game is referring to. it is very confusing and, quite frankly, some inexcusably sloppy editing. there are several plot lines in the story that are just dropped, leaving you wondering what the hell happened to this quest i was on that was so damn important that now has just disappeared into thin air? if they had just taken a few more days they could have cleaned it up to a point where we wouldn't have even known things had been cut out. as it is now, when i finished the game i was so confused by the incoherent story that i just didn't care anymore and was glad the damn thing was over. before i ever even knew about the cut material, anyone that asked me about the game, i told them that the story just didn't come together and it didn't make sense. when i read through and listened to the content that was cut, i was like, "wow, the story makes sense now. now i understand what was going on." that is pretty damn sad. i shouldn't have to apologize to you or anyone else for wanting what i paid for. it's great that you are satisfied with the incoherent babble that is what they offered us for a story, but you'll just have to excuse the thousands of us who aren't. there is so much they just leave you hanging on. what of the crashed and utterly inoperable ebon hawk that just magically fixes itself so you can fly off at the end. i don't know about you, but when i play a game, i explore EVERTHING. i was on top of the ebon hawk on malachor and that thing was freakin buried and damaged so badly that they could not have possibly fixed it in the amount of time i took to comb the entire explorable area of malachor's surface and the sith compound, which i did. not to mention that there were no resources on malachor to help repair the ship even if i wanted to! there is so much more in this game that just can't be explained, and yet you people whisk it away as if it doesn't exist. it's quite sad. you are just showing obsidian, lucasarts, and every other developer/publisher that you are just sheep and you're happy to be fed any garbage they feel like throwing at you. and not to mention the throngs of bugs and glitches. numerous people can't even play the damn game. for what was supposed to be the sequel to one of the greatest RPGs ever, it just fell flat on it's face, excuse me and thousands of other people for being sorely disappointed and feeling downright cheated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <The fate of the Ebon Hawk> The ebon hawk is jammed between rocks when it crashes the planet starts to split at the end and it frees the ship. Most of the answers can be found by simply paying attention. It's that easy. Just because the game dosnt spoonfeed you , your unhappy? Skip to last paragraph Show me one game where people dont complain about glitches please? KOTOR I unplayable for a lot of people on release. Had a GAMESTOPPING bug on the Xbox which is ridiculous for a console game. KOTOR one of the greatest RPGS ever Sorry, dosnt even get into my top 10. My personal experience of KOTOR II after 4 games. Using the airspeeder to get around on Nar Shada wouldnt trigger a cutscene. That was the extent of my "bugs". I'm sure there are a lot of modded Xboxes out there which are having problems. Equally I'm sure there are more than a few bad disks. On the PC configuration bugs are always going to be something that will only be fixed after the fact. It's not possible to test every configeration and its impossible to know what sort of crap people have lurking on their computers if they are connected to the net. If you dont like that, do what I did and play consoles they play out of the box and 1 in 100 has a bug worthy of note. If you are that bothered, excercise your consumer rights and take the game back. Thats what I do with any buggy console games. I returned Vampire the Masquerade for the same reason too. in closing caveat emptor ultimate responsibility rests with you.

It's old. The interface most people think is worse than BG/IWD et al. It's actually similiar to NwN though so you might like it. It's a radial click to get it on screen job. Not a personal fave of mine (actually I loathe it). I'm not a huge fan of anmesiac protagonists as a plot device. But it's very well written by the same guy who wrote KOTORII. Well it would be a shame to spoil it if you did want to check it out. But it's something like yes. It was the first thing I though of when I saw Nihilus , I just sort of groaned and said "not again" luckily it was unfounded :D If you do play it you will probably recognise a few characters or their concepts at least.

I think if it's a completely new engine, than it wouldn't involve Bioware. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lucas Arts are showing an engine demo at E3... It's great news anyway Mr Morgan. Good luck with it.

New Dr Who looks bloody awful.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to ShadowPaladin V1.0's topic in Way Off-Topic
The new HHGTG looks great! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have a link ? First I've heard of it. Dr. Who is being done by BBC Wales, which just happens to be around where I live. -
That may be so, but that dosnt mean they will want to sign it. B) FALLOUT (w00t) . If you dont know about that then you are indeed out of your depth. I'm sure certain other people on the boards will be only to happy to drive the lesson home C) Well online petitions are questionable anyway so no one takes them that seriously. What fanboyism ? I've played and finished the game four times. I finished KOTOR once so I'd be a hypocrite to complain about KOTOR II wouldnt I since I got much more value out of it What truth ? That some people are upset because some end scenes are missing ? Whoopee bloody do, if you actually had any perspective on game releases. Oh lets see Star Ocean III you would see than 100,000's near to a million complained about that one. Those sort of numbers will get you a "Directors Cut". So it's nice and all that you think your little crusade is worth something, but you will excuse me if I dismiss it as irrelevent.

He or she is almost entirely used when refering to example characters so you dont have to keep writing s/he or she/he or he/she etc. For example from the D&D rules. "Slow Fall (Ex): At 4th level or higher, a monk within arm
