  1. I looked at the trailer connected to the article and got the sense that everything in the plot was revealed to me, but I didn't know at all how the game would play. That's the opposite of what I need!
  2. I was wondering if you were going to actually go on with the podcast after seeing the first episode. It would feel so disheartening to me.
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    It sure looks like CGI. I really liked the movie but hated that shot.
  4. Mad Max

    It seems to me like the most applicable bits of Mad Max have been incorporated into different games long ago. I don't know what more a license can give us.
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    Beyond Thunderdome is on Netflix. It's very dull. I saw the first one about half a year ago in a drunken stupor and still really liked it. I should see Road Warrior again, but I always liked the first film most.
  6. Invisible Inc.

    Did they ever add different looking levels?
  7. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Social justice indeed.
  8. Project Eternity, Obsidian's Isometric Fantasy RPG

    I've found that I just don't use any abilities like rays or walls. Most likely I'll just kill a friend.
  9. Deus Ex Universe

    I'm sorry, my post was completely misleading. I was comparing the shots to the shots of the main characters home in Human Revolution etc. Those communicated a style and an atmosphere, which isn't the marketing push this time around.
  10. Deus Ex Universe

    How shit is that compared to the amazing from last time? Now it's just guns. Looks like CoD.
  11. Project Eternity, Obsidian's Isometric Fantasy RPG

    So far being intelligent has been largely useless and when there is a conversation option it tends to be dumb.
  12. Far Cry 2

    I played the game through on a PS3 using only save points. IMO many of the more revolutionary aspects disappear when using regular saves. The buddy system is the most unique, but with quick save, what reason does it have to exisr?
  13. Zunless Zee (Sunless Sea)

    I've stopped. Too much of a grind to progress.
  14. Far Cry 2

    Music is great. Use only save points.
  15. Cities: Skylines

    Yeah, lack of pedestrian options is a shame. I'm not interested in planning highways, I'm interested in planning cycling routes and pedestrianised zones.
  16. Cities: Skylines

    So any suggestions on how to start? I tried to start fresh, but I feel like the limitations on what I can build make it impossible to do a decent job. There's a menu option for that, but it gives you 700,000 to start with. I don't understand how I'm supposed to plan for the future when I can only build dinky roads.
  17. Cities: Skylines

    I started my first city and it's going to be a traffic nightmare.
  18. I wonder if it'll be enough. I kind of doubt it.
  19. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    The broadsword hilt is bad because it suggests Jedis have been a bunch of dumb fools getting their fingers sliced off because they didn't implement this key safety feature. You can't make something more badass by adding safety equipment. Darth Maul's two blades were also dumb, but it only suggested that Maul is willing to take crazy chances and make an already risky weapon more so. It's contained and doesn't suggest all other Jedis have been doing something wrong so far.
  20. Project Godus: Don't believe his lies

    Molyneux got away with his hype earlier because his games actually were influential even in their failings. Godus' never aspired to anything and still failed, so people are not prepared to forgive. I haven't read the interview, Walker's first line is too disgusting for me to continue.
  21. Didactic Thumbs (Pedantry Corner)

    Huh, you have to stretch the definition of a syllable pretty far for that word to be more than two.
  22. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    You were everywhere first.
  23. If you look at the making of, in addition to the orchestra McConnell replaced synth stuff with instruments played in a studio.
  24. Movie/TV recommendations

    Hamlet 2000 with Ethan Hawke. Haven't actually seen it, but I would love to. I guess Ethan Hawke gets on most people's nerves, though.
