I dug up Assassins Creed instead, it has much more satisfying combat. I can stick people with my knife and if I rush through it, I might not get bored by the over-repettion before I finish it.

What?! Thats it? Are you 100% sure?

No, this sounds very much like a software error. I experienced more or less the same thing when I accidentally damaged windows by cleaning the registry. Boot with a windows disc(not a recovery disc, that wont work) format your system partition and install a fresh windows. If have important data on your system partition/disc then you might get away with installing windows on top of your old windows without formating, but it will be slower and less stable

Yes, but the billion he lost was his favorite. The other five he had no feelings for.

I love the autosave function (because I tend to fall off cliffs and miss jumps all the time) but the fighting combo system doesnt feel all too great. But Ive only got the basic attacks yet so I cant say for sure.

Im tryingto play Prince of Persia but I dont quite grasp the story. Why did the bearded man chop down the tree and why do I have to collect these glowing balls for?

And Hercules and Xena was complete rubbish, myth-rape or not. Classic case of low budget+crap actors+inane script.The only less-horribly-bad episodes were the one where Bruce Campbell did a cameo, and they still stunk like a festering turd. Now Disney's Hercules, on the other hand, was pretty damn sweet. And that was relatively accurate aswell. Except that Hercules was all nice and didnt kill anyone in drunken rage like he always does in the stories. Yes, and its butchery that is to blame for that fact. If we didnt have a bunch of meddling sissies altering our fairy tales, theyd be all wicked and cruel like they were in their original form prior to the 20th century when they were censored.

But myths are highly susceptible to distortion. Some people will go away from plaing RotA believing its distorted myths to be the real thing, and they will in turn influence other people. Add a bunch of incorrect films and games down the line and in a hundred years the distorted versions will be considered the real thing. Sure, the books and documents holding the correct story will still be there, but in the mind of the public, Jason was an elf who defeated the evil wizard Zorbglargh using his magical rainbow-laser nunchucks. Or not. But its still extremely annoying when idiots take a piss at mythology that would make kickass games right off the bat.

Technicly, there is no double standard. The correct term for civilian casualties in a military conflict is "collateral damage/casualty of war". The same as dropping a bomb from a military aircraft onto your enemy is an act of war, while killig someone with a car bomb is a criminal offense/murder.

The jews have now become the victimizers as they were the victims in Nazi Germany. Thye must have learned a few things under the Nazi bootheel. Aaaww, and here I was hoping for something REALLY offensive so I could make fun of you for being a moron

Alright, which one of you moddy types saw fit to delete my entire post? Come on, fess up. edit: and it was only the second part that was even remotely offensive... to the ancient egyptians, that is.

Youve probably seen it on the news aswell but IDF has started the main ground offensive just now. So now its full-on urban guerilla warfare, just like back in the 80s. Hopefully, there will be atleast some results this time although its highly doubtful.

Its ok to make other versions of something when there is quality and some meaning with your revision. But what these people do is just piss all over the source material for no apparent reason whatsoever. Its like their parents forgot to tell them "Dont try to ****ing fix it if it isnt broken, dumbass!" IT MAKES ME ANGRY RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH *kaftan smashes* And I will be probably be played by Chris Rock. I hate Chris Rock. I want Will Ferrel. ...Volo will be played by Julia Roberts because that makes no sense, so it must be brilliant...

Thats actually doable, we could move the entire arab population of israel in less than a month with a few dozen buses and lorries. But they would have to go somewhere they cant cause such a fuss, which rules out most arab countries. Somalia maybe? Its sunni and theres no one around to blow up.

Its gonna be awesome... wooooooooieeee!!!! *blasts mephistofeles head of with a bazooka*

I think it would be pretty sweet if you had a game with the real Hercules as told in the greek legends. He did heroic things, but he also got angrydrunk and killed people by accident, slept with both men, women and goats, stole stuff etc. One of my faves is when he visits the Centaurs and forces them to serve him their finest ceremonial wine, whereupon he gets pissed drunk and starts a brawl where he injures the immortal centaur Chiron so badly that he gives up immortality just to get rid of the pain. The Greeks didnt have this stupid one-dimensional view of characters that we do today. Hercules was both a hero and a total arse, at the same time. Most, if not all their legendary figures were like this. A theory about the ineptitude of developers and filmmakers when it comes to dealing with mythology I just thought out is as follows: These people are both uneducated and stupid, and when confronted with the scope of greek of norse mythology, they become confused and see no other way to deal with this except to bend it into a shape they are familiar with. And since they have no knowledge of the subject, they cant tell which parts are vital to the myth, and that aggravates the butchery even more. And thats how we end up with games like "Viking: Whatever" that take some elements fo the original setting and churn it through the familiar(to the stupids) meatgrinder of fantasy(swords and dungeons), resulting in a bland(although somewhat offensive to mythology buffs) and completely uninteresting goo of misconception. Imagine if they would make a game about the bible this way: -Ok, so yeah we're gonna make a game out of the bible and it has to be awesome. -Whats the bible about? -I dont know, people in the desert doing sh*t and stuff -In the desert? What, are they muslims?! -I dont know, probably I guess. -That no-go territory, dude. We're gonna have to change that. What about like a jungle or something? -A magic jungle! With dungeons and sh*t! -Sweet! -Yeah, ok so now we need a main character. -Ok, Who is the hero in the bible? -I think its Jesus. -Jesus as the hero, yeah right like we could get that past the ESRB! Wed get totally sued by the church and sh*t too! -Theres a guy called David in the first part though, or Daniel.. Im not sure -Thats not a cool name, I know a guy called Dan. -There's Moses too. -Moses is even worse! Its like totally jewish and you know that doesnt test well. -Ok, so how about we call him like Frodo or Sauron or something instead? -What about Maximus? Like in gladiator? Its friggin maxed-out huhu -Yeah! Thats a sweet name... he could be like Maximus Hyperdrive! -SWEEEEETNESS!! -Maximus Hyperdrive in the magic jungle. So what kind of sh*t does he fight? -Terrorists? -Orcs! -Monsters! -I liked the like totally zombie twisted monsters in Deep Space we could have that? -Ooh, man I love the way you think. Zombie-Monsters it is. -Ok, so are we done here or what? I gotta go play squash with Cliffy B after lunch -Yeah, I think we're done. -Cool. This game is gonna rock, see ya!

Maybe, they still had some actual gameplay that needed to be replaced by pointless quicktime events.

Ive been playing RotA recently, Im about half way through the game and Im absolutely perplexed about the way the developers arbitrarily butcher Greek Mythology, completely without reason. It was the same, except much worse in Viking: battle of Asgard. There are plenty of other games and films who do this aswell. But what is THE REASON that these people feel a compulsive urge to needlessly tamper with established mythology and history? My favorite RotA tamperings thus far: Jason is married to Alceme - In myth, Alceme was his mum. He married Medea. Medusa is a priestess of Athena - In myth, she was a hideous gorgon and probably one of the worlds alltime best known monsters. Mycenae is portrayed as some sort of klingon-like Ares-worshipping warriors city - In reality it was a perfectly ordinary city, that actually predates what we think of as the greek golden age. And by the time of the great greek heroes, it was just an abandoned ruin. Lycomedes was the king of Scyros, a small island on the greek east coast. He took supposedly took Achilles in as a sort of foster child. Also Gladiatorial combat is an Etruscan/Roman invention that the greeks didnt find much fun at all. They preferred wrestling and tossing things.

Wouldnt it be awesome if like someone all serious came preaching into this thread and one of us would be totally like "You're a Jew." and he'd be like WTF?! and cry and get us all banned. Sorry, I went to the bathrrom and forgot what the rest of my argument was about. I think it was something along the line of; since the israel-vs-arabs situation is unsolveable, what people should do is to try and minimize death and suffering. The right thing to do would be to blow up the tunnels Hamas is using to bring rockets into gaza, not to blast the general population with artillery, hoping that atleast one or two of the hundred people you end up killing/crippling is a badguy.

Its not a complete list, you tard.

I BLAME ZE JEWZ!! But semi-seriously, given the extremely small size of Israel, the place gets a disproportionate amount of publicity. Israel 22 072 km2 -the worls tinyest country Iraq 438 917 km2 -19 times bigger Sweden 449 964 -unanimously considered so small thats its insignificant Its a rubbish country, so stop writing about it. And if the Israelians are so inept that they cant keep order in gaza, a city so small it could fit in a handbag, they should just admit defeat and bugger off. I hear Iowa is lovey this time of year.

Blasphemy!!! Burn this heretic!'

I value my sleep, so Ive never stayed up all night doing anything. I think I did fall into the "just one more round.. oh, its 4am" trap of Civlisation and Total War once or twice though

I thought Mass Effect was so good that I had to portion it out by playing 1-2 hours per day, so it would last longer. The post-game depression was massive.

You people have no imagination, why should they do like boring crap when they could just do -THE GAME
