Interestingly what both advocates and skeptics of a "how original was Origins" tend to forget is that the clichéness of Origins was intentional. The whole game was one big shout-out to the old RPG's, even to the point where it was called "the spiritual successor of Baldur's Gate." Anyway, I...

I'm still kind of confused how they are going to pull off the "she is not She-Thor or Thorina, she is Thor" bit when the actual Thor is still running around, if a tad hammerless.

So if she is the "new, one and only Thor" what do we call the old one? Please don't tell me they're going down the route of giving him a "real" name and pretending his name wasn't really Thor...

Dunno, this sounds like an hoax to me. The Mandalorians in the armor wielding those black lightsabers? Those are modelled after Pre Vizla, a Clone Wars character that didn't exist until 2010. Add to this that Lucas doesn't know jack squat about the Star Wars EU, which makes him asking...

Interestingly, one of those annoying "adds with sounds but no pause button" popped up for me right on this episode. An amusing coincidence, given that they've been quite rare for me so far.

The scar-tearing was shatterpoint at work, actually. And Jedi using the Force to kill is pretty common. Any lightsaber duel involves heavy use of the Force. Merely using a power offensively does not lead one to the dark side. Otherwise every Jedi in the franchise ever would have fallen to the...

Speaking of KotoR, have they finally fixed the game to work on W7 yet?

It's not about dept, it's about diversifying. Right now, all we're seeing is the same old, same old. The same stuff every MMO has. From this trailer alone, the guy playing another MMO is going to raise an eyebrow and say "Okay, so why should I get this MMO? Mine has elves and humans too."...

But the entire point of trailers is to sell the product to the audience. Having an underwhelming trailer that fails to define why your game is better than the rest defeats the entire purpose of a trailer.

There is one resource it's draining: Manpower. People spending time on CoH aren't spending time on other, more profitble projects. That's the only reason I can think of.

I never liked this line of thinking, because by that same reasoning one can go and say "if you want to shoot stuff go play paintball." Games are an interactive medium that allows for a whole variety of activities, including storytelling. That story exists in other mediums does not mean they are...

There's a teeny-tiny flaw in that logic though: Star wars has a pen and paper RPG too. Now the pen and paper characters in question are framed by a universe we care about. Is it still impossible to care about a pen and paper character?
