    Man of Steel

    no one is beyond redemption, born evil, etc. Its choice born of culture and upbringing, greed, medical problem, and/or desperation. If you had the power of immortality, etc, there is no reason to murder people to solve problems. Cops, soldiers? their lives are in danger, they have the...

    Man of Steel

    I love All-Star. I really nails all the points. There is always a way. Lex is in jail taunting him. And Clark saves Lex's life repeatedly without Lex even noticing. Superman is dying, and he stands there and still asks Lex to use his intelligence to help, while Lex spits in his face...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Diablo, torchlight, path of exile, etc are not massively multiplayer. They are calling it "massively", which implies persistent world of some kind.

    The Secret World

    Tons of flaws. but yeah. one time fee of $20? how can you say no? Even maybe some DLC beyond that if you like it.

    FF is probably a product of the advance of tech. Kindof like Metroid. The Japanese story telling tradition is not as good as US/Euro. And I'm going to outright say, not as good. not just shorter, or foreign. no. they suck. We see this in 90% of manga, and alot of anime, and obviously here...

    8, and 10 had world maps. Also, 7 you spent the first 30% in Midgar. So yeah, that no map stuff. 7. (and persona) Character control. yeah, thats a weird one. comes and goes in various series. Most of the dragon quests do this shit too for some reason. Music. The composer went freelance...

    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    yes. I can totally see Tom Cruise as an effeminate gay vampire 18 years ago. He played that part perfectly. Hilariously, that is nearly his last good movie. I'll give him Jerry Maguire. I... don't think I have seen magnolia... I should remedy that. 100% due to the director. Look at...

    but they are giving you what you way. You liked 7. so they gave you more of that. 8, 10, 12, 13. The people that liked 1-6, got 9. And Dragonquest 7-10. and remakes of 5 and 6. What trend do you think those newer FF have that wasn't started in 7?

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    Bioshock was a game whose reach could not live up to its aim. The cut content for release is kindof obvious. (we are seeing it again with infinite) I talked it about it back when the game came out, and again, it came up recently. Yeah, when Bioshock first came out tons of game of the...

    Thank you Draegan, Goodbye FOH

    I would love for the community to take a step towards neogaf. (Maybe not quite that far..) but someplace where devs are not afraid to post or admit posting would be nice.

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    Another list thread! After wtf, of that overrated games list. I think a variant might be interesting. Similar question to most over-rated. But over-rated, infers its specially highly toted, and fails to meet that expectation. Like the skylanders question. Shit prints money, and that is...

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    And criminal use of guns is far less common then suicide. Even rampages like this. That is what they are. Suicides. People that want to go out in a blaze of glory in the spotlight. Make a scene. Media is partly to blame here. Giving these fucksticks their moment of fame just encourages...

    Man of Steel

    he should have retired. Retconning him not to, is a giant mistake on the part of editorial. And part of the cancer killing comics. The story is dead, and being rehashed over and over. Final crisis and Batman Inc was the perfect ending. Batman killed Tyranny. Died. Came back. Dick...

    Man of Steel

    I want it to do well, so we can have The Authority. Then we can have Superman VS The Elite. But rewrite it, so it is actually The Authority, and not strawman villians. Creating an actual discussion between the two. Its kindof funny, in comics we have all these storys like The Elite, and...

    The Superman Question

    actually, I think your right, he does even say it in the movie. But yeah, the age thing is pretty much in every incarnation. How pronounced it is, varies. I mean, obviously most stories don't involve 200, 1000, or 100,000 years in the future. But most alternate future timetravel, etc, do...

    its a river, the bus goes into. There IS alot of ocean/water imagery in these trailers now that you mention it though.. wonder what that is about.

    what are some of the worst games you've ever played?

    Seriously. wtf. Half these games being mentioned... I'm trying to remember the names of a few. NES, Atari and PC games back in the day. woah bad. Thankfully, it seems I've blacked out most of the memories of them. Tobal no 1 was pretty terrible. Ultima 10 stands out as pretty high...

    Tons of ways to break the game. Gogo was in ff5 btw. so, all those attempts to try creating an identity in FF6 are silly. The 8 hit genji glove/offering swords were atma and Ragnarok/illumina Also, considering gear was not universal, only spells and espers were, I would put FF6...

    The Superman Question

    well considering one of his power is pretty much immortality. I would say that is pretty much a no brainer. 30 years off of 200 million? uhm, ok.

    Man of Steel

    See what happens when you try to explain it. ^ Slight visual cues. But anyway, yeah back in the 80's the TK idea came up. Think it was Byrne. It can explain flight, strength, how he can pick up things without them breaking. it can even explain heat vision. Its become a fairly...

    Roms. I can't say I remember exactly when. I see a FF3 rom 1999, and a FF5 1998. FF7 was in 97, so the translations might have been after. Although, its also possible there were previous translations done prior, and newer ones done after...

    Man of Steel

    It really is a great shot. It subtly explains the TK version of how he can fly without having to actually say it. This then also extends to how he can grab people and things and not have them break. And again, no need to try explaining it. 5s shot> any long winded technobabble, that would...

    Man of Steel

    Tactile telekinesis flight. Yeah, I have my doubts. which I have stated or hinted at. Superman is progress, hope, the future, etc. It could be a brilliant transition. grim, dark, tonal in trailers, and at the beginning. and move towards the end to bright, bold, and brilliant. The pa...

    Guild Wars 2

    10% rebuild on walls is interesting. Not sure I like it. What would be really cool is if 0-20% walls gave a cripple, but let players through. Not sure what to think about the pve based breakout. I feel like just have the NPC. give +20 supply

    yeah. you want a laugh. go play dragon warrior 1. HOLY shit that menu combat. It almost boggles the mind, we ate that up. It is pretty much unplayable by modern standards. Especially when we look at Legend of zelda. which really to this day holds up in gameplay. Even metroid. the...

    http://gnomoria.com/ This one had been eating my time, pre GW2. A graphical version of Dwarf fortress. Still a work in progress. very much an alpha. the author was doing quite well at sticking to updates. Still a very long way from being Dwarf fortress however. Also the author does...

    That annoyed me about 12. its one of the things that kindof pissed me off about it. 12 advertised a free form class system, a return to the old style. But it was a lie. The grid system suggested it was possible. But if you started building down the wrong path you gimped yourself. I made...

    yeah, this is what I have heard as well. Have not tried either though. I also think 12 was pretty decent really too. (granted never finished it..) As I said, I really feel credentials needs to come into play, due to rose colored as noted. I've notice the vast majority of 7 defenders...

    League Of Legends

    yeah. Bans are only really relevant in tournaments, where you know who you are playing against. In regular matches, its mostly just, who is the most annoying pos, I dont want to deal with. Or, specifically, to ban someone that hard counters who you plan to pick.

    Ars editors pick the most overrated games

    did you guys somehow miss the skylanders talk? Frankly this is again, this guy being a complete dipshit. Skylanders is fucking AMAZING. Does the game suck? yes its pretty tiny. even kids will blow through it too fast. no. Skylanders is holy shit, because they are selling...

    Ars editors pick the most overrated games

    woah, now. Now that one is overrated. 7 was a step down from 6. nevermind dragonwarriors, etc. Generally you can ask anyone that likes 7, was it your first rpg? and they will say yes. 7 really only had one thing. FMV.

    Ars editors pick the most overrated games

    If you cut and pasted Quake 2 into the n64, it would have sucked complete balls. In fact, they did. Quake 1 came out march 1998 on the N64. Q2 may 1999. Console and PC gameplay are completely different. Cutting and pasting a PC fps into a console. doesnt fucking work. That was the point...

    About fohguild.org and Requiem

    TDSSKiller Malwarebytes MSE Those three should be pretty effective. TDSSkiller is anti-rootkit. Runs in normal and safe. Malwarebytes usually will avoid any browser redirect. (while MSE will often get turned off/blocked by them)

    The Horror Movie Thread

    yeah, Yellow brick road starts off interesting, and completely shits itself. They took the white noise premise, and went stupid with it. While conversely, pontypool does it well. Or the likes of Fallout3 and that one vault.

    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    I feel like Tom Cruise actively ruins my enjoyment of movies now. Its not even just the scientology shit. He keeps getting these rolls, that I just can't take him seriously in. he has no business being an action star. and more so, he keeps getting these roles of mr perfect. its fucking...
