I lol'd. Imma doge missiles all the time in this game.

Me too. I'm a die-hard Wing Commander fan and one of the original backers of Star Citizen, but I've only backed to the tune of $60. I kind of feel about this like I do about this time I ate at a really fancy buffet restaurant in San Diego that didn't tell you any prices up front. I figured, "It can't be more than $35…
Hurrah for Soul Blazer!
I loved the Witcher 2 on my first playthrough, but that was before I really got into the Demon's/Dark Souls series. Now the combat seems so floaty and damage from enemies so arbitrary (which may be more a UI/HUD/feedback issue) that it is very hard to play. That makes me sad because I have such fond memories of it. I…
What I want to know is how in the heck the British were able to get hi-res thermal images (from what appeared to be an aerial vantage point) of Jack and Kate while they were parked inside a freaking tunnel? Terror Mom should hijack some of those future tech British drones too because then she could do some hi-res…
"Go forth, Garl Vinland. May you be unharmed."
I completely missed that stuff! I was just assuming everything was pretty much the same as the SNES version. Those would have been awesome!
I played through the DS version on an emulator (I've never had a DS) and it was awesome. I (mostly) loved the voice acted cutscenes and way it felt like a new take on an old experience that left me with an additional level of appreciation for the game. I also liked how much harder the game was than the SNES version.…
My heart is sad that you used a screenshot of Final Fantasy IV for this post and didn't even include it on your list. I credit that game with hooking me on video games more than anything else. As much as I love FFVI, I find myself being way more of a FFIV evangelist. Nothing had ever come close to capturing my…
Mine too and I still love it so much! Well, I guess I did play the original NES Final Fantasy, but I was little and that game was super hard and way confusing to as an 8 year old. But man, when Final Fantasy II came out for the SNES with Dark Cecil and Kain leading the Red Wings around the world bullying people and…
I almost always play my first playthrough of a game as a guy. But a lot of the time I do my second playthrough as a girl, often based on a female character that I like. For instance, my second playthrough of Dark Souls II is with a green-haired female mage named Terra after the green-haired female mage protagonist of…
I'm dealing with a bit of a Fallout vs Dark Souls crisis myself. I should say that I have put hundreds of hours into each series and love them both dearly. I think the gameplay and level design of Demon's/Dark Souls is so utterly fantastic that it puts Bethesda's games to shame. Even the world building in Demon's/Dark…
Don't forget the cast of Fallout: New Vegas recreating almost the whole music video. Bless you, PC modders, for wonderful things like this:
Hey, why didn't the video embedd? Trying again...
Then you also have the amazing modder-gods of the Bethesda games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas) and the crazy things they are cable of doing. Case in point, this Thriller video created in Oblivion starring some kind of Michael Jackson armor mod, two zombies and two skeletons:
It has nothing to do with it being a video game. People cheer when they get excited about anything, especially in social settings. I stood up and cheered when Mr. Blonde got shot in Reservoir Dogs and I was at home by myself. But that was an exciting thing to me (I hated his ever-loving guts), so I felt a strong and…
If you want to try something that could give you a good idea of whether or not this could work for you, I suggest trying out the amazing (and FREE) homage to Star Citizen's early '90s ancestor Wing Commander series: Wing Commander Saga. It's a fan project built from a much updated version of the Freespace engine and…
Yeah, the HUD is one of the things that I really go back and forth on with this game. What they showed here is a HUGE improvement over the busy, messy, overloaded HUD from when he showed off the DFM back in December, so I think it will definitely continue to be refined. Honestly, I think striking the right balance of…
I love the open development model as well. I gobble up everything they release like a hungry hungry hippo, especially any beautiful screenshots I can work into my desktop background rotation. I can understand a lot of people's frustrations—I feel them too from time to time—at the game being so "incomplete" at this…
