My thoughts exactly. These things look half-assed, with crappy humor thrown in. Maybe this is the videogame equivalent to contemporary art?

Well, Guild Wars 1 worked that way. Once you got to level 20, the first thing you did was to get your max armor (given you weren't taxi'd to a vendor that sold it), and after that you were free to chose whether or not you'd go for the elite/prestige armors, which were different models with the same stats as your max…

Come on guys, GFWL may be sucky-sucky, but they are probably using it so that PC gamers can play with Xbox gamers. Shadowrun did this, but that was an FPS. Since this is an ARPG, the difference of controls isn't going to make much of a difference on PvP.

Lost planet 1 and 2 were good games. The main problem with 2 is that it failed to deliver. I remember during the hype-build phase, they were talking about factions, and how you could create your own faction for multiplayer and such, and how multiplayer battles could be 3 to 4 factions, for about 32 players to control…

Yeah, considering none of the endings fit with the state of the world in DE1...

Ah, more fellow undead. Come, rest by the fire. It will replenish you before you go by your business. And may you never turn Hollow.

I know, but it looked like the cable he pulled out was a network cable, but after closer inspection (also, higher quality engaged... ENHANCE) showed me it was actually the power cable.

So, unplugging the computer from the internet prevents the server from being hacked?

Kind of reminds me of this

What, and risk having a JRPG protagonist who doesn't look feminine?

Back in the day, you could host dedicated servers off your machine. Also, back in the day, you didn't pay companies to access matchmaking lists, which are flawed and broken.

Commando Class was actually playable during an event. There was even a chopper.

I feel sorry for you if you haven't played this.

I don't like this. It feels like agressive marketing.

This boss, and several other parts on the "Oracle" series have always made me think "what if...".

I know it's a GBC, but this purple-transparent was the superior model.

How the ending should happen (spoilers incoming, btw):

Obviously, Japan is doing a bad job hiding the existance of the tentacle monsters they apparently hint at us with those animes.

I know this article is about the game's ending, but i'm going to warn you guys that there are spoilers incoming so...

As for the livelier world, i don't think that's something worth focusing on. The whole point of a totalitarian regime is population control.
