Will it (Or should it) be made? I'd say probably not. You'd have to really do something extraordinary to be able to make money with it: You'd need to make an adaptation of a TV Series which actually draws in people who never heard about the series in the first place. Either that or you'd need to...

I am currently playing: - Xcom: Enemy Unknown; - FTL; - The Witcher 2; - Avernum. I'd say... No? Not really.

Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, France (Do colonies count?). I'd have a hard time choosing between Argentina and Uruguay, but the whole "Never leave the country you go to again" would make me tend towards Argentina. More to see and do...

I honestly hated that one. Admittedly, it is likely more to do with me disliking both characters as opposed to being something specific to the romance. I'm going to throw in TNO/Annah in Planescape: Torment, just because it was the first game ever to make me give a shit about a person who...

A recent Starcraft 2 match. We were both Terran, and (my blunder), I went for a fast expand strategy without scouting effectively. I had two bases fast and great economy, but almost no army. Suddenly 4 reapers were tearing my expansion apart and I had almost no defenses. A lot of frantic...

For the sake of simplicity (And not being that much of a wall) I'll respond in subjects instead of specific phrases and such. A. The "You Brought Bad Historical Christian Stuff Out" front If you read the whole thread, you will see that I was very reluctant to do that. There were quite a...

I've got quite a few... Not that long ago, on a 2x2 Total Annihilation match. I played as I usually do, with some early skirmishes, pushing out some static defenses, and then hunkering down to build a mass of gunships. My partner, however, didn't seem to be doing much. He sent a few units to...

I see a lot of people criticizing the story in GW2, but... I always got the feeling that this was not the selling point for this game? That the game that was selling "Story, story, story!" was that other MMO released around the same time? GW2's story does its job. It makes the push up to the...

I'd prefer if they made spin-offs, allowing themselves more freedom to take unexpected angles within the Mass Effect universe - different genres, different views, different kinds of narratives. Of course, a lot of these would demand completely different teams and resources from what Bioware has...

I mostly liked both Dragon Ages so far, and most of the info we've gotten so far seems to be born from good decision making. The whole "Only human" thing, especially. In general, the tighter the initial constraints on the player character, the more cost-efficient it is to widen the game and...

The cannonballs flew, crushing through decks, spreading death and destruction through both ships. The floor shook, and the noise assaulted her ears with full intensity, despite having her far higher ground. Crushed wood creaking and breaking, men screaming, the ship complaining as something at...

No, I was merely pointing out the fact that no matter how much we discuss, the fact stands that this is pretty irrelevant to the larger discussion. People claiming to follow any religion (And you'll find examples for literally every religion or lack thereof if you look hard enough) have done...

I think it could be good, and could be interesting. I just don't believe it would. I'd rather big-budget work was put into the EU, with an eye towards making it more cohesive and more approachable, than re-threading ground already walked. But then, I am an over-ambitious idiot.

Exactly. I personally consider Planescape: Torment to be game-wise a pretty good game. They made good, creative use of the D&D system in a lot of regions, and a generally great implementation of it. Imagine Planescape: Torment's story, only the game you play in order to be exposed to it is...

Most of the example I'm seeing thrown in here aren't really bad games. They're average, mediocre, a few of them even ok. Story made them great. An outright bad game cannot be saved by story. Put a great story on top of the original Dungeon Lords (No patches, no nothing), and it still will...
