I believe he was thinking of something in the lines of Full Spectrum Warrior.

Life keeps amazing me. For some reason I cannot fathom, nor do I wish to, my father, out of all people in the world, decided to get himself a console. While he is aware of the next-gen wave of consoles coming out, he's interested in getting a PS2 instead, as he believes the pricedrop makes it worth buying now. It's his money, anyway. The thing is, he's only interested in racing games and military strategy games for the PS2. At least for time being. Now, given several of you have consoles and know more about their software library than I know or care about, I'd like to know if anyone has recomendations on PS2 titles that fit that genre. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully this only happens in some instances of combat, and is not gradually happening with every hit that the character takes, otherwise it's going to make combat a really frustrating exercise.

None of them.

I would rather live in the completely deleted thread system. I hear it's fun there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've already taken residence in the Obsidian Moderation boards. Come join the fun!

Maybe I'm not understanding where you're coming from, but the only problem I see when this idea is applied on computer RPGs is that imagination is not what a computer RPG should be about. I can imagine whatever situation I want when I play a CRPG, but this is pointless, as the game can't react to it. It can only react to what it has been programmed to react. And that is something where the Sims fails, establishing a relationship of that kind. I can imagine multiple situations, moments, lines of dialogue and every detail of their lives, hundreds of entire biographies for every character imagined and gradually updated mentally as their life cycle passes by - but it simply doesn't matter. It doesn't contribute to the game, nor does it register. In the end, you're still left with the only tangible thing that existed before, gameplay. If a game is trying to have me establish imagined relationships between players and NPCs (or anything else strongly established by means of imagination), then I feel it's failing as a game, specially as an interactive game. I could just as well imagine things on my own.

2DA files aren't supposed to be saved as text files. Is it possible you have determined all 2DA files should be open with Notepad? If that is the case, then you should eliminate the extension recognition.

Hell no. Hell yes.

They aren't forcing you... You don't have to play their console games.

That's really too bad Gorth. I feel for you... Something, though I'm not sure what.

If you haven't gotten one, then the forum system screwed up. PM Feargus with the PM subject being "SLAM DUNK", and no text. You'll get your ring.

You need to equip the ring to know what they mean.

The first of the two to be redundant?

Thanks Baley

My short tenure in this game has been fun. Not exactly the cream of the crop yet, though, as can be seen in my profile. If anyone's planning on joining... Help the goblins of the world run for presidency.

Holy veiled-innuendo, Batman! Some of the audience aren't getting our camp schtick! :cool: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are in dire need of a swift BIFF! or mighty KAPOW! in their heads.

I think Kaftan is talking about how unintuitive a combat model that combines player reflexes and character skill is. Firstperson shooters tends to create a given expectation surrounding your reflexes, and the direct hit and damage of weapons of said games clashes - sometimes hard - with arbitrary numbers in the background telling you you didn't hit the enemy sitting smack in front of you. I found Deus Ex's system was a bit less satisfying than Bloodlines' system... Although the difference may be negligible for some.

If you haven't already, you might want to check out Flagship Studios' Hellgate: London, an attempt at a roguelike FPS.

Ok, fair enough. I pretty much agree with your points.

The Magnetic Fields - Reno Dakota

@Antagonist: why do you believe Tim Burton's work on the first two Batman movies to amount to sillyness?

Pretty fun for a quick, ocasional run. Now running a Lv 4 Goblin Assassin, trying to get more citizens and raiding other characters. Oh and I hope my contribution helped, Bailey.

Thanks for the link, will check it out. Though... They call those unique? Until a game allows me to play as a Lycantrophe Slime, a Feline Troll, or a Pixie Whale, every other race will remain quite mundane.

Correlation, causation, etc. Likely ignored, but hey.

I'm doing the same as past years. Ignoring it, and mocking Portugal's loss and incredibly low position afterwards.
