Yeah well exactly. An evil dragon with apparently no real motive to destroy all humans other than 'cause it's cool (the game has thousands of lines of dialogue and this is basically it as far as the Archdemon goes), and Loghain the idiot who makes an absolutely suicidal tactical decision in...

I reckon it looks far better now than DAO ever did. The hack and slash style suits this franchise way more than the terrible attempts at "tactical" combat which DAO offered. It was a shameful mockery of Baldur's Gate's fantastic combat system and was something totally shallow, limited, and...

Seconded. Laguna is my favourite character in VIII, but Squall was hardly the whiney little emo everyone makes him out to be. The guy is a god damned badass no matter which way you look at it. Sure, he doesn't like having a whole bunch of responsibility put on him out of nowhere (who would, I...

This. I cringe while playing Modern Warfare / Black Ops just because they're equally as retarded and outrageous as any Duke Nukem title, all the while taking themselves very seriously. A large portion of these so called realistic shooters is roughly as believable as space swine police and shrink...

Fruity Rudy of course. WE LOVE YOU FRUITAY RUDAY!

The graphics are not the problem. The resolution is not the problem. It's the artistic direction. Badly proportioned character models, demons which lack any intimidating or really alienating factors, people wearing high heels and doing backflips, bizarre lighting, soft watercolours, abominations...

Yeah, strongly agree with this post. You haven't seen Ghost in the Shell? It's brilliant. I don't even get into anime, but I get a lot of it thrown at me by my friends who do. Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop and Now and Then, Here and There are some of the few ones that even as a...

Man, this depresses me greatly. I would have much, much rather had the old style. Keep in mind this was back in 2005 and the game was incomplete. So shit like nice shadows and proper icons were unlikely to be in the working build. New style just looks like WoW. Everything's all soft glow...

Baal is the lord of camp. Mephisto has "phisto" in his name. Phisto. Phisstoo. Ffffffffisto. Yeah I'm gonna roll with Diablo, maybe I could start a Mexican restaurant and circumvent the whole getting my soul shattered on an anvil from hell thing.

Love the people, have issues with certain, very specific parts of the system. Most of it is great. I live in the U.S. three months a year, soon to be a permanent resident. Straight up, the health care system is a god damned nightmare. I've also seen many people's lives fall apart over utterly...

Personally I'm not a PC "fan". I play all the consoles. I'm just a person who doesn't like to see ignorance go by unchecked. People complain that their game is being limited compared to the PC version, but refuse to accept the perfectly reasonable explanations for it because their beloved 5 year...

Yeah three years ago. It's worth a few hundred bucks now tops. What's that got to do with your topic anyway? We're talking about the reasons DICE make the console and PC versions different. The cost of a PC is irrelevant. Any reasonable PC will outperform a console these days. Thus you will...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh man. You're killin' me. Quote of the week.

My PC is three years old. It cost me $2800 to build in 2008. Every cross platform game I've ever played on it has looked far better than the console counterpart(s). Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Dead Space, Bad Company 2, and a multitude of others. I don't buy titles for all four...

Wind Waker is just fine as it is really. I finished playing it again a couple of weeks ago on my Wii. The cell shaded graphics held up extremely well, it didn't feel outdated at all, just stylized.
