Before they put out Shenmue III, I'd humbly request they put out HD remakes (probably would want to de-stiffen some of the non-fighting mechanics/animations along the way too) of the first two, if for no other reason than the continuity you get from importing your saves from I to II was pretty cool. Plus it would be a…

Aaah memories! Breakdown & Dead to Rights were two of my favorite OG Xbox games.. Screw Tekken & Soul Calibur. Namco's best games were "ONLY ON XBOX." Anyone else remember how brutally difficult the Xbox version of Dead to Rights was? (And how awesome was the dog!?!) It was old-school 8-bit difficult. The series…

NWN2's base game is nothing special, but the expansion packs are fantastic. Do yourself a favor & get the NWN2 Complete Edition off GOG.com, ignore the base game & go straight to Mysteries of Westgate. Also, Dungeon Siege 3 (everyone forgets about that one!) is pretty solid & the South Park RPG was a blast.

We have DAI, Pillars AND The Witcher 3 all coming out within what, 3 or 4 months of each other? (And Wasteland 2 will be out by then too!) I think I'll probably end up playing Dragon Age first, then Pillars to break up the huge-open-worldly vibe, then The Witcher 3. By the time I get done playing those 3 games, I'll…

In addition to the aforementioned Fallout New Vegas & KOTOR2 (definitely get the restored content mod though!), we can also throw in Dungeon Siege 3 as an example of a good Obsidian-produced sequel. I swear, people (including myself!) completely forget Obsidian even made that game. Having not played the first two, I…

Zooming in with BG1-EE is not necessarily a good experience. The graphics look very pixelated when zoomed in, though as I understand it BG2-EE's zoom feature is much better. (Waiting for Ye Olde Steam Sale to get BG2EE.. $25 is a bit much imho.) This difference in zoom quality apparently has something to do with not…

Outside of Kickstarter updates & Kickstarter-related news, this is the first bit of hype I've actually seen for Pillars of Eternity. After it got funded, Obsidian has actually kept this relatively quiet for the most part. If you saw their kickstarter updates (of which there are a LOT, so they're certainly not hiding…

I haven't played much post-3rd edition D&D, but I thought Paladins in 4th (& 5th) had more leeway in terms of alignment. They are like clerics nowadays where they just need to worship & uphold the alignment of their chosen diety. As always though, I reserve the right to be wrong.

Generally speaking, at least for melee type classes, the ones that can wear heavier armor (thus have more survivability) will do comparatively less dps than the ones that wear lighter armor. This is fairly normal in video game RPG's, so the way PoE is handling rogues is actually quite familiar & sensible to me. (And…

Kinda like how I use chopsticks with my left hand and fork with my right hand? (Btw this is a skill I recommend everyone learn!)

I'm not sure Final Fantasy games are what made PSP relevant either, at least not in relation to its Nintendo competition. Regardless, I think Sony just needs to somehow crush the myth that Vita still has no good games. Vita has a slew of good games, but its reputation is otherwise. Also, Sony handhelds have both…

Nope, I'm not bummed about this either. I don't really understand why folks think Vita is lacking games. I have a whole slew of awesome Vita games...I could fill up an entire 64GB memory card just with Vita games, and none of them really suck (the fighting games are a bit hard to play on a Vita imho, though). I…

I was VERY late in getting a PS3. I didn't have beef with Sony or anything, as I played the holy hell out of my PS2. I just went into the store during holiday season 2008 (or maybe 2007? whichever year Wii & PS3 were released) & was going to buy whatever the heck was available (I did the same thing holiday season…

I don't recall the Russian fella mentioning a sister. If he did, it certainly didn't register with me. But outside of that, yeah you do make a good point. If you are Russian & proud of your heritage (and we all deserve to be proud of our heritage) then I can see you being a bit weary of all the negative Russian…

Camilla Luddington had the last line in the trailer, the one about "becoming who we are meant to be." Also, you know how a lot of the best comedians, and a lot of the baddest of the badasses, and a lot of the snarkiest of the smartasses, develop those personalities to compensate for being bullied or harassed or…

I might be overly simplistic here, but did I just actually read a woman criticizing another woman for being interested in science? Or did I just read a woman using scientific interest as a reason to take a shit on a high-profile person with whom she disagrees on social matters? Setting aside the feminism angle for a…

It's kinda cool that nobody sees Montana as an enemy. However, Montana seeing California as an enemy, while a bit stereotypical, is certainly very real. Montana in general rather libertarian and a bit xenophobic to folks outside of the Northwest. We're generally cool with folks from Idaho, Washington, Colorado,…

+1 to you good sir. I was scanning up & down the bench trying to see a reaction until I saw you mention Copeland. He's hard to find at first cuz you can't see him until after Cole goes down :( And yes, I missed his mention in the article )

LOL same here, except in my case it was ABC & CBS. That's all Great Falls MT had when I was a little kid. (Babysitter in town had cable & PBS though, so I always got to watch Sesame Street & Reading Rainbow & whatnot.) If we went outside & aimed the rooftop antenna in another direction, we could sometimes get NBC…

Back when I was in elementary school (early 80s) our school still had reel-to-reel projectors. There were typically 3 classes of approximately 20 kids per grade. (small town of about 3000 total population.) There was a music room of some sort that was large enough to accommodate 60 kids. ALL 60 of us would watch…
