    best game is bad?

    As much as I wanted to like and finish Far Cry 2 I never did. When I first heard about it, it sounded like it would tick all of my boxes. But it just had balance issues. You claim that the game was all about stealth and I agree that's what the developers were likely going for, but it was just...

    best game is bad?

    I have a deep rooted obsession with the Armoured Core series. The first few were really good games for their time. Then four thousand games later in 2009, they are still releasing almost the same game. And like the idiot mecha fanboy I am I buy it, hoping that they've added loads of new parts...

    Let's have a ska thread

    I can't believe this thread was made the day I went on a ska rampage! Literally all day I have put on a playlist of ska and have been skanking like a madman while cleaning my house. Some of you old school ska purists need to lighten up. I'm sure the zillion obscure bands you listen to are...

    Korean Engineers Create Sword-Wielding, Tai Chi Robot

    hehe, well said. It moves nicely, I think the main advancement here is the motion of the hands. We have a couple of robots that can run, walk up and down stairs and such, but the hands on HUBO look like a step in the right direction. What I find amusing about these videos is the difference...

    Poll: WHAT'S WITH THE OBSESSION WITH ZOMBIES???

    Escapist Forums Rule #1, No matter how unrelated to zombies the subject matter may be, all threads, especially in Off-Topic Discussion, will eventually turn into to a discussion regarding Zombie Survival Plans. Zombie survival plans are important so we're prepared for the worst case...

    That voice. It doesn't work.

    Alot of anime purists watch anime in japanese and japanese only and to do otherwise is a sin punishable by death. But those people miss out on some really good english dubs, like Cowboy Bebop. I cannot watch Bebop in Japanese, it might not be a case of the jap dub being bad, just the english...

    "The Escapist" sense of humor (contest-relevant)

    Watched a couple of them so far. You guys are actually quite good. Camera work needs work, stop abusing the zoom. And the script can get a bit dead air heavy at times. But you're better than alot of guys who try this stuff. And yes, this can definetely be construed as advertising. But...

    What's so wrong with FFXII?

    I can only reiterate a lot of the points people have already made really. After 10 games of the same but generally well done thing. Risks have to be taken and changes have to be made. This is a series which not only has done more or less the same thing for 10 games but has prompted an entire...

    First Screenshots From Fallout MMO?

    I quite liked Fallout 3. It wasn't Fallout 1 & 2 but really, nothing else will ever be Fallout 1 & 2. I grew up on those games and they still form a pretty strong benchmark for many aspects of what a game can be. Play them, play them again, then play them again and let them go... but maybe play...

    Ubisoft Bribes Publications for Good Reviews for AC2

    Infinity Ward are the developers of Modern Warfare 2. If any bribing were to occur it would be from Activision who are, depending on who you ask, pure evil. I personally wouldn't put it past them. They're a publisher and beyond that they're a large corporate entity who are to be trusted as far...

    Games that would make Good Movies

    I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to this. I like some movies. But games don't need to be movies, they're already games. Our society elevates the film industry to the top of media food-chain for reasons I will never quite understand and as a result, when the product of another medium gains a...

    Austraila Gets Drunk, Winds Up In North Atlantic.

    Saw that when it was first written but its still classical, cheers Radelaide. Good to see we Aussies have a fair representation on these forums too. Also, I'm not a huge AFL fan but I can watch it. Watching Rugby in any of its various forms makes me feel like I'm watching a game of blernsball.
