Musopticon?

Pixel shaders, different kinds of mapping etc. I have to agree with Potent. Big whoop.

E-dictionaries must love you, meta. Thanks.

Lollerskates. Emphasis added. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Color me impressed, SS made me grin. What ho! People learn from their mistakes and successes, I'm sure Sawyer et al do implement the learned design philosophies, some of the themes and ideas that excelled to their latter projects.

Explain catch 22 to a poor northern barbarian. I agree with rest of the post.

You show'em bud! You show'em real good!

Each time someone writes that, something inside me dies. But still I feel loved. Seriously, Mothie is quite rightfor once. Pay heed to him.

Oh, it is? RPGCodex fails to deliver once again then. My impression was totally different. I bow before the more cognisant one.:D

Sound quite a bit like Lost Vikings(old PC/NES puzzler), both that and this game had predetermined roles for all the characters in which they excelled and so forth. About the gender roles et al: well, I can't help but to disagree with the reviewer's view. One could say that opinions can't be debated, but I didn't find it just to downgrade the review result because of the roles. I mean; man strong, woman weak, cook, hunt etc are very relevant archetypes in modern society still and, no matter how much criticized, lie under our little "equality"-ruse. I think that the reviewer just reads too much in to this. Of course, one could say that gaming is a medium so visible that it needs this kind of delving into, but I believe the reviewer should just relax. Edit: If someone finds this offending...my english skills failed to deliver somewhere halfway around the post. Might sound a bit boorish.

^Hammer and Sickle is an espionage rpg. Not a strategic team one. Even if there were power armors in the game, you wouldn't have to face them. The obstacles you face in the game are totally different in comparison to Silent Storm.

^Half of those end up in the internet. They're called opinions.

These rules apply to everyone(aka common sense): First rule on fan fiction: Don't write it. Seriously, if you're a gifted writer, make something original, something that's your own. Making fanfics just kills creativity(subjective, but still...) and if you just plain suck at writing, the ffort would be better spent on something else. Second rule: If you do decide to write it, and expect someone to read it; keep it civil. No matter if it's the ending you wanted but did not get or your view on the story, write about the characters, your or the game's, not your very own private fantasies of the characters or buried urges. That's not only sad, but also very annoying to read, insulting to the public plus you'd be better off seeking help. Third rule: Give respect where it's due. People do think, no matter what they tell you in the internets, so make them do so. Even though your public might seem to love what you're spewing out; stop to think. They're most likely as sad as you, hormone-crazed fanboiis or poor fangrrrls, or(this one being the worst) just polite. Akward politeness, with the obligatory smilies, is a sign you're doing something wrong. IF you've gone so far as to break first and second rule, then you might as well do it with style and give it your best shot. The only thing you might offend is your psyche. The readers that matter are long gone by then anyway. And now once you're at it; you might as well read the final rule. Fourth and final rule: The fiction is ready, you know how to spread it, it's the final draft and everything seems fine and dandy? What're you waiting for then? Uploa...oh no. Proofread it first. Spell check. And kill off inconsistencies. If at all possible, get somebody to read it before posting for all to see. A second view on things never hurts. -

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Knife-edge My love for ELP is like a vat of hootch. :">

Eru is the original rebel, fools. Cover and lament before him.

Prod.

I'm just sick of the institution. And jediless does not mean forceless.

<- this emoticon was once known as :mus?:

That's only because you don't get most of it If my signature goes then the avatar goes with it... your call DL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hate the sig because it's so huge. I've nothing against inside jokes. Sure, take them both off.

If it's agreed that Deus Ex is a roleplaying game then, yes, it's very much worth playing.

What are we supposed to discuss about?

Exactly my impression.

I hate Launch's signature.

Where do all these newbies come from?

So what did I miss? About the thread subject: Well, I'd appreciate a relatively jediless game. They're just so boring and the game's focus could be on characters and not on crystal hoarding and kewl force powahs. More on that subject; mercenaries and smugglers are a nifty theme. And it might be interesting to get to know the galaxy better.

Hahhaaa! :D Thanks meta.
