I don't mind the graphics.  The thing that makes it especially hard to get into for me is the clunkiness of moving through the world itself.  The mechanics of the game require some serious patience that I just don't have anymore.  :)

Also, digital sound effects.

It's especially annoying coming from people who should clearly know better.

I mean, literally everything about it us clunky and tedious unless you are wearing nostalgia glasses. Just moving around the world itself is a chore. I love old games, point and click adventures and crpgs like Baldur’s Gate, but I missed this one growing up, and I’ve tried many times in recent years to get into it,…

Too bad it’s basically unplayable today, as the story is literally the only thing about it that still holds up.

Here's something nobody wants to admit: none of the characters in the BOOKS made smart decisions either.  It was always hamfisted, right from the damn start.

This gif will never get old.

Variety of colors and styles, as well as dual wielding, was in KOTOR.  More importantly though, KOTOR was the first game that went into the lore behind lightsabers, their crystals, building them, etc.  That alone should warrant its inclusion here.

Ccounterpoint: The VAST majority of PS2 games do not hold up and are not worth playing for anyone who doesn’t already have nostalgia for them.

Show of hands for people who would voluntarily turn down $50k a day "on principle."  I'll never understand that.

DS9 also has the best Star Trek main title theme music.  Prove me wrong.

I think you’re probably not alone, but definitely in the minority these days.  I have to ask though, have you actually watched the entire DS9 series?

I’ve always been so torn on Inquisition. I really liked the characterizations and colorful world, but I found most of the rest of the gameplay (exploration, combat, etc.) to be pretty bland and pretty much the worst kind of checklist-style open world stuff. It’s a game that I just never find myself wanting to go back…

Just $15 more to go before it hits the price range that I'm willing to spend on video games!

I’m with you one hundred percent.  They chose literally all of the safest possible deaths, all characters whose narrative arcs had already basically come to a neat conclusion.  They needed to pull at least one Red Wedding style death where the character’s arc wasn’t neatly wrapped up, but rather was violently severed…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t a huge part of this problem the fact that the insane costs associated with healthcare in this country cause so many people to forego the kind of regular preventative care that might help mitigate some of these more serious life-threatening problems down the line?  How would her…

Ah, Blackjack.  A game where “strategy” is so heavily offset by luck that it’s nearly always a losing proposition.  Should have sat in on a poker table instead.

Does it come with chocolate at least?

Remember when Star Wars used to feel special?
