Yeah, but that goes for anything. The point isn’t to stop people from gaming the system, only to mitigate it as best you can.

Another worthwhile tactic might be to have reviews pegged to a development iteration. Ideally, EA games would be set to some kind of standard nomenclature for iterations and then reviews would be voided once the new major version launched. Keep them worded with a version disclaimer, but drop them from the +/- pool…

er, shit. There was a discussion that went into Kotor territory above this one and I apparently didn’t notice the shift in conversation strands.

The second game, however, has a far more interesting cast, and generally better writing as far as talking to your companions goes. Although, it does help that HK-47 was carried over along with Canderous and T3-M4. Still, I’d say Kreia’s writing stands head and shoulders above that of all the other characters.

Unless,…

Zeta is not the darkest UC Gundam by a longshot. Victory is and Uso 13.

“Kim Kardashian’s aborted Nazi zombie fetus”

Nope, he dragged him off and told him that he had “other uses” for him. Which, you know, I assumed had meant that one storyline about Robo-Maul trying to kill kid-Luke and Obi Wan ending him once and for all, but whatever.

His brother, on the other hand, got put down for good.

You can just imagine him walking into a tattoo parlor and demanding “Jesus didn’t tap” be penned into his arm.

Or him freaking out a doctor who said he might never walk again because “I’m a fucking power ranger!”

It really is uncanny.

Even the French knew.

It’s also quite possible that this Lex is more of a persona than anything else. Less crazy Lex might only exist when Luthor is talking to himself while looking through a window or sitting by the fire.

Thought it was Star Wars?

There are actually a lot of conventions, even in smaller places. You just haven’t heard of them.

Pensacon, founded two years ago in Pensacola Florida, had 15,000 people last year. Pensacola has one facility that could accommodate that kind of crowd - a hockey arena. Speaking honestly, the facility is more capable of…

The problem with Paradox’s DLC/patch strategy is that, even if they went out of their way to make good tutorials, they’d be absolutely worthless within the year. The games change far too much far too often for the tutorials to actually matter.

As a preliminary exercise, the best thing to do is to watch a let’s play.…

You’re right about breadth and longevity being issues when rating PC games. Honestly, top X’s or Best of lists for PC only really make sense when contextualized with a period in time (say, this year) or with a genre.

Pretty sure the author had meant the micro-series by Gendy Tartakovsky, but your point still holds.

IBO is on for another 18 weeks. Thunderbolt is likely to be OVA with a staggered schedule rather than a week-to-week adaption, so concurrency is no issue. Not that it’s ever been an issue. Origin is still being animated, after all. And the Build Fighters OVAs are in the works.

I wouldn’t say that I’m not excited, just that I’m excited for the second or third iteration of this renewed Battlefront.... or this Battlefront in two years after DLC has fleshed the crap out of it. As it stands right now, it just doesn’t seem like it’s worth full price, and I’m not in any rush since it’s not like…

Maybe if they included penny-slots. Teach kids how to gamble their tokens away for more tokens. Pokemon did it.

Yeah, I’m kind-of okay with the idea of a virtual arcade that operates by arcade rules. Granted, seeing as Nintendo doesn’t have physical overhead, I’d prefer something like ten tries for a dollar rather than five, but whatever.

Thing is, even if they’re not rendering in detail, the skeletal and muscular accuracy for the in-game models should be drastically better. Obviously bodies differ highly, but just look at the bone structure differences between the computer model and the scanned one - everything is just wrong. The slope of the chest…
