ShadowPaladin V1.0

M.A.D Only in this case it would be kind of one sided.

That was never the case. The case was for WMD's which even if they didnt have them at the time, they certainly had them before. Maybe if Saddam hadnt been such an arse with the inspectors he may have gotten away with it.

Well you can drive inflation through the roof at least.

Thats because everyone else would just go ask America for help if invaded.

Well you could say that Europe being a more mature country has gotten it all out their systems. Cant really claim to be a millitary power unless you have a hundred year long war on the books . America is a young country and feels it has stuff to prove. However it's not all about them, people are always begging for military intervention when they are getting slaughtered by the 1000's since the UN is basically a complete waste of space , corrupt and ineffective that just leaves the yanks. All those people turning out to vote didnt look like they wanted Saddam back which makes the insurgents little more than criminals.

Congratulations. You just topped watching paint dry

And I suppose posting some right wing Bush links proves the will of the American people too

That game really needs a DS version.

Classic

Can't really say much on Arcanum but it it was badly balanced and the RT combat was a joke. TOEE they got the D&D combat system almost spot on , but the rest of the game was neglected because of it. With Bloodlines, the presentation was good, but the combat was weak and the game just ran out of steam (bad pun) towards the end. Now if they could have gotten the balance right , even at 75% on each catagory (assuming that we ignore the bugs) then the games would have been much less flawed.

Like anyone is going to believe that Do you see me falling on my sword at the mention of PORII ? Thought not. Guess it's lucky for Bioware that they chose the Xbox.

see how you have to scrape the very bottom of the barrel to make JE actually look good compared to something. Priceless.

Never heard of them. That will be the day. Still it's as amusing as ever watching you fall on your sword in defence of such a mediocre game

Part of the problem was sticking too close. Examine any Troika product (only three so it wont take long) something about it will be very good, the other bits will be either average or just awful. They just seemed to fixate on an aspect of the game without having a view of the larger picture. As well as programming some really buggy stuff, but even if you take the bugs out of the picture its still evident.

You do realise that anime and the picture of Varn are how Japan see's the west dont you? it's not a reflection on their culture at all and it's not how they see themselves. Go to California and you will see people dressed like Varn and worse. And this isnt just for conventions but every day dress.

Those would be Xbox exclusive sites. In which case you could also award it only RPG of the year as well.

TOEE = Watching paint dry

Bloodlines combat is "good" enough not to detract from the rest of the game. Thats about the most positive thing about it. Anyone who holds it up as a poster child for combat in a game (RPG or not) hasnt played enough games.

if it's 0% Japanese, then it's kind of obvious it's 100% other. I'm glad such preconceptions dont keep me from playing games anymore

Another vote for Resi 4 (since I cant nominate FFXII till next year). LA has produced some good stuff. They have also produced some really awful stuff. Probably enough of both so there is no real pattern to it.

Not sure what you mean. I have all the weapons and visors, about 80 missiles and 5 out of 12 of the relics.

Well since this is computers and consoles and not WOT I'd say there is a better than average chace of that While your bigotry is nice and all, It dosnt replace the truth.

Yes. Japan is the land of innovation.

About 80 % Japanese and 20% other. Almost everything you can class as innovative comes from Japan.

There have been moments where I was fed up of platforms. Overall though it's enjoyable. One of the big reasons is that you cant actually die from falling, 'cause given the scarcity of save points that would get old really fast. I just need to collect the last suit and then hunt for the relics.
