| The "Ultrasonic Screwdriver" deserved a mention, not to mention the Mechagnomes are a stand-in to (among many others) the Cybermen. "You'll be be upgraded... I mean, decursed!" |

| Sean and Oro! But please, use the SF3:WI Sean, TS Sean went through a lot of unnecessary nerfs... Seriously. Oro is made of awesome as the stereotypical old guy. A very old guy. (BTW, he's not 1-armed. He just chooses not to use them both to make it fair... yeah... same lame-ass excuse of half the KoF bosses.) And Sean's mix of Shota Karate and Vale-tudo is the shit. Also, any serious Sean player can tell you that a beach-ball is way better than any stupid hadouken (and it came with a damage buff!). |

SandroTheMaster commented on: Game censorship around the world |
|
| In Brazil, we got it easy in Censorship (but not in legislation). Mostly because games are too damn obscure here to this day. Only now that I'm in the university I'm finding SOME people that actually played games at some point. And just a FEW that are actually gamers (and not a single woman... besides my sister). So, when a political figure actually goes out and says "This game is a cancer in our christian society and blah, blah", everyone pretty much just goes "huh?". Mentioning games, even negatively, just seems to decrease a politician's relevance almost instantly... They did manage to banish Carmageddon and DOOM a while ago. But these weren't exactly enforced. Still, as recently as last year it managed to get Counter Strike and Everquest to be banned... and I sincerely don't know what happened since, I can't really tell what happened since. They enforced it for a few months then simply seemed to forget it ever happened. Like I said, the politicians involved were probably laughed out of political existence for daring to think games had any relevance... |

SandroTheMaster commented on: The Citizen Kanes of videogames |
|
| I know I'm late to the party but... a lot of these "pioneering" actually started in PC games. The worst case is Grand Theft Auto 3, which is claimed to influence Elder Scrolls 4. Oblivion was mostly influenced by Morrowind (AKA, Elder Scrolls 3)! Actually, it is more or less a Morrowind lite, which was a refinement upon Daggerfall (guess what, Elder Scrolls 2!). And all free-roaming games out there owes everything to Wizardry and Might & Magic, years before any console RPG considered gamers smart enough to handle derailing from the plot. | |
