This is a pretty cool mod, but I have to think that this will make it even harder on the Survivors--especially in Versus. Considering that a complete finish is rare with the guys I play with, I doubt we'll use it.
1 year, 10 months ago Hands on with The Old Republic
Is this game going to have any space combat or flight? From the preview, it sounds like it won't, and that is a huge part of Star Wars for me.

I would love to be able to save up and buy my own ship, or be able to buy larger ships with a group. They could also let you purchase/earn speeders or something that you can load into your ship and then use when on planets.

Did you seriously write "human beans?" I couldn't tell if that was supposed to be a joke or not.

I recently read another article that talked about a lot of the psychology they intentionally use in games like WOW to keep you playing. It's actually a little scary.

@Destructo33: I believe you are thinking of the first game. It was supposed to see a special 360 release, but was canned.

As for the sequel, I'm quite interested. I only hope that they give us the full version, unlike how the original was censored. It's rated "M" for a reason.

2 years ago The future's bright for PC hardware this year
I'm the most interested in new processor and GPU tech. I just hope that games start taking advantage of multiple cores more often.

I don't really see cloud gaming working, and I think that motion control won't work for the PC. Also, while it would be nice to game on netbooks, that isn't the real draw to owning one, and I think PC gaming will still primarily be on the desktop/large laptop.

Yeah, I romanced Tali, and I was disappointed that they don't even show us her face.
2 years ago 10 reasons the iPad could fail catastrophically
I don't see what niche this is even trying to fill. It's not a tablet, but it's not a smart phone. It's some middle ground that I don't think anyone was asking to be filled. Other than people who think this looks cool, and a few people that will use it for artistic purposes, I think this will fail.
2 years, 4 months ago Gaming's would-be innovators
I really like Fable. That may partially be because I hadn't really heard much of Molyneux's hype about it, and just liked it for what it was, rather than what it was supposed to be.
2 years, 4 months ago Which villains will appear in Batman: Arkham Asylum 2?
The idea of an isolated area similar to the first game is probably necessary, but I really want to see Rocksteady's take on Gotham City, so I would love to see at least part of the game there. Even if it is only an intro fight or final boss fight, it would be nice to see the Dark Knight in his element.

As far as villains, they really do have lots of choices that they set up in the first game. Personally, I could see Two-Face, The Penguin, or Scarecrow being the main villain, with lots of minor villains similar to the first game. Scarecrow would actually give the developers an excuse to have a portion of Gotham "quarantined" which would be the isolated area they need to have the feeling of the first game, but with a new setting. Also, seeing as how Batman uses fear so much, he makes an interesting villain to play off of.

An entirely new villain created for the game would be interesting as well, though I don't know how well that would tie in with all of the existing villains sure to show up.

I would add one to the list: Goldeneye for the N64. Like many on your list, it wasn't the first of its kind, but it did revolutionize FPS games on the consoles and proved they could be done well, which paved the way for Halo, Resistance, COD, a million other console shooters, etc.

NinjaKillr, any 1080p TV will not work. It has to have a 120Hz refresh rate in order to properly display. Many TVs are only 60Hz.
2 years, 7 months ago What are the favourite 'types' of people used on video game box-art?
@StrayGator: I was wondering the same thing. I would think a lot of manga/anime characters would be considered Asian or Oriental, which would make them non-white. (Though I have never really understood that, as many Asian people have skin tone that is almost identical to the "typical" white person.)
2 years, 7 months ago The 12 greatest arcade machines of all time
I love how far videogames have come, but I do miss the days of the arcade. There was something cool about the community aspect, and being able to play any of the dozens (or more) games you wanted, all in one place. I just wish that my parents hadn't always made me feel like I had wasted money every time I went. *sniff*

2 years, 8 months ago The best and worst credits
Failureisinevitable, that was an impressive post. You were wrong about Halo 3's ending though; it did happen after the credits had rolled. Up to that point, the game ending made Master Chief appear dead.

Sage62 is right about Madworld's credits being hilarious.

I would like to see some more inventive credit sequences. They can be a memorable way to end a game.
2 years, 8 months ago The Top 7... E3 announcements you missed
Microsoft really, REALLY needs to let users add their own drives to the 360, or at least offer larger, fairly-priced drives. They are continuing their effort towards offering good content available for download, but a lot of us Xbox owners only have 20GB of space. I am unwilling to buy their 120GB HDD for 140 bucks, when a regular 120GB laptop HDD (which is what is used in the 360) can be had for 40 or 50 bucks.

MS is doing a lot of things right, but this is one area that Sony has done far better in.
