They're already financing the 2016 Summer Olympics though (which may be part of why the population is feeling a taxation crunch).

IMDB says yes to that, but I wouldn't take credits there as confirmed until well after the game has been out. I watched an interview were Gat was mentioned and they seemed a bit coy on the point.

So far Female Voice 1 is the only confirmed returning female player voice I've found. There seems to be conflicting information on who is voicing Shaundi too.

I actually keep hoping this thread will turn into a VS thread about the Internet VS Debates. "The internet allows communication between large groups of people..." "So do debates in large open commons - stfu noob" etc.

After reading this, I searched to see who was coming back voice acting wise (I personally favor Rebecca Sanabria's Female 3 (Main Character Hispanic Female in SR2)) and while the idea of a Russian accented woman hasn't been dismissed the voice actor for Female 2, Tara Platt has confirmed she won't be back. https://twitter.com/taraplatt/status/343605756240752640 Since you're supposed to be able to import your character from SRtheThird, I wonder then if they're planning on getting someone with an authentic accent to do this voice?

I'll be honest if they hadn't went crazy with SR2 I'd probably never have gotten it; I doubt I'll ever play a GTA game, for example. It was the more ludicrous stuff that I'd read about that convinced me to buy it. I'm SO looking forward to SRIV.

Give 5 a shot. Its almost as good as 2. 4 you can skip though. Dragon Quarter turned me off because it didn't feel like a Breath of Fire game. Didnt like any of the mechanics or the tone. Though really 4 was pushing it too. At this point I would just like a remake of 2 with a better translation and updated graphics. I'd love a better translation of BoF2. That was truly an AWFUL translation; there's a few sections in it that I'm still not entirely sure what was supposed to be said. How does a prequel to 1-3 work, exactly?

Guess I'm glad I didn't get the PS3 version then. I can't imagine what was different between the PS3 and 360 versions though; both would have the same limitations of the controller for input. Was DA2's and ME3's first trailers the same sort of thing? My memory says "yes" but its a lying bastard sometimes.

I played DAO on the X-Box 360 and enjoyed it. There was no problems with playing it on a console in my opinion.

Well that explains why the game companies weren't up in arms about it, at least.

Isn't that graphic actually wrong now? Per http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update

Microsoft had no plans to ever use their proposed draconian DRM, they knew fans would hate it. It got them a lot of press. It put the system's name out there. And now they're going to try to seem like heroes by "listening to the fans" to generate people buying the system. conspiracy theory> Let's see how far the internet takes this.

But anyhow this to me is complaining that you can tell that Elrond Half-Elven looks older in the Hobbit than in LoTR even though the Hobbit is chronologically first or that Brandon Routh doesn't look like Christopher Reeve despite their Supermans both supposedling being the same character in the same universe.

He's not in jail, from what I can tell. Last I'd heard he'd been deported to the US though and is living in Portland. And he's supposedly working on an autobiography...

Yes apparently. Every day. All day. There are several internet sites dedicated only to that. And reading it you will either cry of laughter or cry out of dispar for the future of mankind. Hehe, look at the "power grid" on the right side: http://marvel.com/universe/Captain_America_(Steve_Rogers) Well apparently some people take comic book universes seriously enough to try to classify such things :S Marvel put out handbooks that detailed a lot of specific power levels for characters.

I didn't think Morrigan or Varric looked like they looked in their previous games. That said, I'm not really sure its an issue for me either.

Apparently John McAffee lives in the world of "Saints Row"...

Right now its mostly "What else will DC break with their New 52"...

A lot of people like it; but for whatever reason that first episode really rubbed me the wrong way. Thanks for the avatar complements. But now there's pressure to maintain a high standard... ...and from a pretty good movie too (1974's voodoo-revenge film, Sugar Hill)

I don't think the posters on BSN are representative of everyone who enjoys playing Bioware games (they don't even always represent a large segment of the people who post there!). There was a nice group of people who talked about what they wanted to see in a Jade Empire sequel, for example. It was a fun discussion and for the most part didn't talk about Romance at all. There are some very... seemingly obsessed posters over there though. Sometimes what they post I find disturbing*. In that sense though, relative to me, they're not all that different from some regulars at the RPG Codex.... All kidding aside, I don't think any forum should be judged by its most radical members. I'd hate to think of what these forums look like to the BSN or Codex or other big gaming forums if judged only on the posts of a random and limited population of posters. *The "make Bethany romaceable crowd" for example

You make it sound like we're making out in this thread... I can't disagree; I think the spindly walking leg design of the AT-AT makes them a poor design choice.

Well I should have said "jet fuel", really. Isn't Jet A similar to Kerosene while Jet B is similar to gasoline?

There's been some good points raised in the various romance threads; I enjoyed discussing the pros and cons of relationships and what made sense and what didn't with a number of the more pro- and more anti- romance crowds. But some of it was really "ooo, look at those icky Bioware fans - they make me feel dirty" to "how dare you take away my sex fantasies!"; its not debate - its taking things personally without looking at the actual point of discussion IMO.

What mode of transportation can't be improved by a jet engine? Why I bet if gasoline was cheap, even kids tricycles would come with a jet engine strapped to them.

Console plebians vs PC Master Race? Fallout 1 vs Fallout 2 vs Fallout 3? Eastern European Communism vs The World? Romance Fans vs Non-Romance Fans? Turn Based vs Real Time? EA or Microsoft vs Gamers? But aren't almost debates going to have 2 opposing topics? How do you have a debate with someone without some kind of dichotomy? Because in most of these, the dichotomy is false. There's no reason to, for example, to actually be for/against consoles or PC. They both have their strength or weaknesses. Most "VS battles" are less about the topic and more about someone trying to validate their "fandom" in some way (either by backing the thing they like or being against the thing that they feel tarnishes what they like). And that's why they differ from debates. IMO.
