[Bokishi]

Heh, nice.

[Oerwinde]

I thought this was common knowledge until seeing the responses. Shows what I know Looking forward to it.

[LadyCrimson]

It'll definitely be nice to be able to check it out for myself.

I have played it about five hours in friends xbox and I must say I

Was there no mysterious ancient race who had built the world invovled? "

[metadigital]

Did they get bored and go off looking for new and exciting breeds of cats?

[Dark Moth]

Meh. I think I'll just get it for X-Box. Mostly because my computer is a piece of crap.

I knew, but will probably wait until it's reduced - heavily reduced - before spending any money on a game that, while I've heard it has some good characters and story elements, is a standard-bearer for the growing trend toward shorter games. Let it be written that 30-40 hours on the first playthrough is a reasonable length for a game, though longer is often better.

It held my interest. Only because I was bored at the time, though. Never did beat the game. I think I spent more time playing the Minigames when I unlocked them.

"Damn all those with no taste (Volo)."

 

Troll.

[alanschu]

Meh, it's not like you haven't done the same.

[Volourn]

"Meh, it's not like you haven't done the same."

 

I'm glad I have your permission to rape rapists. Thanks! "

 

P.S. I'm NOT saying I troll, and definitely not in such an obvious way, but that's pretty much the kind of think you are implying.

[alanschu]

I was referring to passing judgment over a different person's taste in video games.

 

 

 

And I didn't give permission for anything. If you want to make a "rape" analogy, then it would be more along the lines of not feeling sorry for the rapist that got raped.

"I was referring to passing judgment over a different person's taste in video games."

 

Aye; but I usually do it when they're involved in said thread not out of the blue for no reason. It doens't bother me that someone says my tastes in game sucks. I just pointed out it was an obvious troll on his part to name someone who hadn't posted in the thread.

 

 

"didn't give permission for anything. If you want to make a "rape" analogy, then it would be more along the lines of not feeling sorry for the rapist that got raped."

 

Sure you did. You pretty much said it wa sok to do soemthing to someone just because had done it themselves. Though, it seems I was off with the trolling thing and you meant the making fun of others' tastes; it still stands.

 

And, your new post confirms it. By not condemning the rape of a rapist, you are basically saying it's ok to do. To me, if something is wrong; something is wrong no matter who it's being done. In very extreme circisumtances, there are exceptions to this rule.

 

 

ON TOPIC: This is kinda old news since this has been announced since just before E3, and even has a thread (or two) on this very board.

I didn't "not" condemn anything. I just didn't feel sorry for the victim. You also mention that you have exceptions to it as well.

 

In any case, good night.

Often and with disturbing frequency. My comment was not an attempt to troll, but simply my opinion on your tastes, Volo, given your previous outspoken support of this title and condemnation of my dislike for it. Consider it preemptive. I knew you'd show up eventually.

R00fles!

 

Of course, I was planning to avoid posting in this thread because the topic wa sold news not to mention the thread title was poorly crafted; but you had to troll using my name.

 

Think of me as the Candyman (IIRC the fool's name); but you don't have to say my name three times to show up.

[LadyCrimson]

I'm kind of curious about the PC-enchanced 'features'. Most of them just seem like a natural thing to do when you port over to PC, like resolution and such, but site also mentions more monsters/fighting styles and AI settings.

 

Since I don't have a console, I won't be able to compare if these things make much difference at all.

[Volourn]

Outside of the control changes; I don't think you should expect any major changes to the game. BIO is only overseeing the port not actually doing it themselves.

[CoM_Solaufein]

I look forward to it being ported to the pc. I wonder if it will have any mod abilities.
