Solution: Play on Easy.

While I agree Halo's level design is uninspired to say the least, I thought the weapons were among the most original in a "realistic" FPS, especially with the differences between the human and Covenant weapons. Of course, the fact that carrying two pistols is generally the best weapon selection in the game is a bit odd...

IIRC, you don't get to the ninth level until the end... assuming you're referring to "the Ninth Underworld, the Land of Eternal Rest".

Well, GTA 1 and 2 are free now.

Since everyone else is doing it... Doom 3 for Visual Arts?

I think people should give up religion for Lent.

He means the mine. (I think)

...

My digust for this game comes more from the information in the preview, which implies it's a movie-license GTA clone, rather than the fact it's being published by EA.

And here you got me thinking about a Dirk Gently game...

"I think it should be pretty clear at this point that adventure [developers] committed suicide."

As Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged will tell you, eternity is overrated.

You have to use it to get the guy to find the keycard, don't you? I still can't get past the damn mine. EDIT: Got it. The timing on the end is a bitch.

"SUPPORT YOUR GOVERNMENT". It's on the cover of my box, and my cd case, and all my cds.

Yeah, that's where I am, too. I can't figure out how to get the guy past the landmine.

Something like that.

Some of the dialogue with the orphans at the lighthouse suggets that Jade brings a lot of strange guys home (when you first go back to the lighthouse with HH, I think) but it was pretty obscure and vague IIRC, so who knows.

But Tim Schafer is the most insane...?

Have you ever heard of capitalization? It makes reading posts so much easier.

So they're blaming the staff for games that don't sell well? Or have people actually been buying Rogue Agent? Jaero: If only.

I still haven't finished Vice City. More specifically, the racing mission for the nightclub.

The sad thing is, I've heard a bunch of people talking about how awesome WW in, how much better it is that SoT, and how good the story is...

A real-time strategy game based on a mercenary force. You set up a base in a friendly territory, recruit some locals, train them, buy weapons to equip them with and transportation, and then accept contracts to send them on. Money from successful missions goes to paying your mercenaries' salaries, upkeep of bases, and buying new equipment/ammo/transportation/bases. Besides the contracts you also have to eliminate competing merenarcy groups, keep the local governments friendly to you, and keep your local reputation high enough to continue recruiting new mercenaries and getting new contracts. Everything takes place on the same giant map. Something like this has probably actually been made and I just don't know it.

When I first read that I thought you said Neanderthal (rather than Netherlandic).
