    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Voiced does allow good voice actors the chance to really add to a character as well. Again, using the Fem Shep> male Shep example.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The death sentence hanging over the wardens head, kept me from getting too attached. if you are going to do that, it IS better to make it an author established character. Fallout3 of course had the same problem. get to the end. and fuck you, I don't want MY wanderer to make this choice. IF...

    Guild Wars 2

    Game hasn't changed much overall. Alot has been added. but don't expect some major change in operation. Necros were never not viable. Engineers I'm sure are viable. but not very versatile. do you like spamming grenades? (the discharge/rifle builds are fun and viable too) There are a few...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    different strokes for different folks. the tighter the narrative, the more the game needs a figurehead. Jrpgs. ME Tell specific stories, which require a specific main character. These characters become memorable because of their stories. Planescape is odd really I suppose. Considering...

    Indie Games

    checked out reviews first. they weren't very good. so, passed. but ended up getting in GoG's indie rpg bundle. fun at times. clever here and there when lampooning tropes and rpg cliches. but, its a bit FF heavy. 90% of the game is Final fantasy homage. 5% zelda, 5% random game...

    4th of July shenanigans in my neighborhood

    Tried looking it up. Wikipedia says terminal velocity for a .30 bullet is about 300ft/s. 200-300 is needed to penetrate skin. And it does say, straight up is safer, because it will tumble. if angled, artillery as stated. And you can't deny many people have died from it.

    Man of Steel

    because the editing as well as dialogue makes it look like no time has passed.

    Destiny

    but does adding geometry in the background, you can't even interact with ADD to the game experience? http://i.minus.com/i0GAnRUmjGCpR.gif Like this wolf. Game devs and art teams are so preoccupied with "more real" they have completely forgotten to ask, "does this add to the game?"...

    also, Harbringer, Bloodshot and Archer&Armstrong reboots are quite good. I would recommend. (I have not read the others.)

    Guild Wars 2

    Failing at pvp is something I would agree with. They spent too much time on spvp at release, when wvw was super popular, and needed the most attention. at this point, both could use work. Class balance and design is woefully inadequate as well. some of the class mechanics just don't...

    Guild Wars 2

    of course it doesnt feel like loot progression. the game is not a loot treadmill. progress is horizontal. Ruby berzerkers is just as good now. Logged back in the other day. and felt more overwhelmed then anything else. probably should have jumped on an alt, so I would have had more...

    Batman Inc, is kindof amazing. And another note for Hawkeye if you aren't reading that.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Gun ownership is alot life martial arts, or wrestling type deal. The LAW and the "rules" aren't exactly the same. There are proper safety methods are you supposed to follow, but are not the letter of the law. Here for example, carrying a gun, he had zero business following Trayvon at all...

    new patch is nice. Hes overhauling food atm. Did feeding livestock, adjusted food growth etc. This one is underground farms, cheese, tea, omeletes.

    Iconic 70's "vibe" Movies?

    good ones. Movies "ABOUT" a time or the culture, often dramatize that time. Like 70's show, or almost famous, both really caricatures of the time. while bad news bears is much more of what it was like. Which is why movies incidentally about them, or during the time are often way better of...

    Iconic 70's "vibe" Movies?

    Bullet, death wish, death race, smokey and the bandit, car wash, halloween (notice a car/trucking theme?) while, not really ABOUT society directly. these do give an interesting glance into what life was like, and what fiction was like in some cases. A cultures fiction says ALOT about that...

    Greed Monger - "What Ultima Online X should have been"

    yeah. my first thoughts at seeing the $ goal was scam. but then, I looking up, I took it more for inexperience and personal vanity project. Its pretty clear, he doesn't really know what hes getting into. Kindof like my first point on kickstarter games. Things change in development...

    Greed Monger - "What Ultima Online X should have been"

    whats with the ridiculously low kickstarter goal? Rent to access land sounds very cool. Lots of these features sound neat on paper, but I wonder how well thought out they are. I think that is a major problem with kickstarter games. I'm sure any dev will tell you how massively different a...

    http://www.comixology.com/comics-sale The boys on sale 50% off. Ennis is a mixed bag. And the Boys itself is not a must read imho, as it has many of Ennis's main flaws. But when its good, its real good. I know alot of others would recommend it for sure. I have my reservations though. But...

    Roguelikes and Roguelike-likes

    I keep meaning to reinstall dreadmor since moving to a new pc. Been awhile, but iirc, the first expansion was +8 more classes, and +4 more floors. no new "boss". The second expansion was just an introduction to the steamworks iirc and totally free. And with that, the game IS on...

    Roguelikes and Roguelike-likes

    yeah, a key aspect of a metroidvania is an intelligently created map. Exploring, and backtracking for hidden paths, and newly unlocked areas, etc. A metroidvania pretty much CAN'T be a roguelike. This is the first time I heard of our darker purpose. sounds neat.

    Neverwinter: PC

    I think you missed the point. How is Path of Exile not an mmo? persistent economy, shared towns, chat is global, but instanced as well. etc. players are effective all in one shared world, that just gets instanced for individual play. Most of us are even waiting for a FFA enter any game at...

    Man of Steel

    Except you are swapping the analogy again. The proper analogy would be you sneak into someone elses house, and live in the attic. You leave the door unlocked, and have something I want. I come over, and murder the owner of the house's children. you know what? the owner of the house every...

    damnit... Is it ok if I agree with qwerty? The video looked pretty. more then I think is really possible. I expect a good deal of downgrading in the finished product. But alot of the people in this thread. "revolutionary", finally a good mmo, I cant wait for this, etc. What in that...

    Roguelikes and Roguelike-likes

    yeah, I kindof roll my eyes at Rogue legacy being called a roguelike. I feel its like calling borderlands an rpg because of levels, gear and skill tree. It does look fun, but Im pretty sure I would just call it a platformer. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...rker-purpose-0...

    Neverwinter: PC

    yeah. largely. I did skip some zones when I leveled though. underdark, and.. i forget, one other. There is definitely way more exp then needed. And there is pvp and foundry. Although, as I complained a while ago, neither get you craft materials or runes.

    Man of Steel

    no, to use your analogy, its more like the slutty girl inviting her friend over to her house and the friend raping her sister. Then the sister when does kick the rapist out. continues to say "fuck you, I'll do what I want", after the sister asks her to hand over the house keys. The sister was...

    Man of Steel

    In this movie-verse, Lex Luthor is 100% correct on his distrust of Superman. Jor-el sent Kal-el to Earth, knowing full well, "he would be a god". He also sent him to Earth without any means of education. Clarks ship apparently was not capable of making any use of the key, or displaying...

    Neverwinter: PC

    well. As I noted. the lines are blurred. Instancing. We have Path of Exile in the other games. and the Marvel ARPG here. Functionally, nearly identical. Shared towns, that are instanced. While the marvel one does have shared open areas as well. But thats hardly Massive, or persistent...

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    WoW character. Typically I would just make new names up on the spot. I started a theme with WoW though. started with Calias, which was random gen iirc. but I changed a letter to get Calias. don't remember which. a male dwarf hunter. Rerolled a druid shortly after started raiding, as...
