I understand everybody in this thread who says that they'd save their pet. I had several pets that I grew up with that I viewed as true family members. And in that way I cannot judge anybody who would choose such a pet over a stranger. But, I dunno, I'm reading through the responses and...

I will disagree with your disagreement. The books are *really damn good*, and I feel like the footnotes and pre- and post-chapter write-ups keep you up to speed on the "true colors" of the setting (gunmetal-grey and gore-red). Also, the brevity and comical style of Cain's books is sorely...

Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium is a great first read. Otherwise you can find anything written by Dan Abnett. I've also read a few Chaos-centric books (Blood Gorgons, by Henry Zou and Soul Hunter, by Aaron Dembski-Bowden) that were neat.

One of two things: Rein back in on the actiony-shooty bits and remove co-op. Or, just fuckin' go crazy with the actiony-shooty bits and give us a third-person control system that isn't slow as hell and have sweet co-op goodness. Either one is fine, just no more of the middle-of-the-road...

Holy crap. Somebody else who played XChange! On-topic: Prey - The flow was never broken up and I never, ever had to worry about hiding behind a wall or only holding a couple of weapons at a time. The Force Unleashed II - Got to kill Ewoks in the DLC, and Boba Fett was in it Mafia II -...

Until very recently, my opinion of Bioware was waning. I never thought they were getting bad, per se, just that after Jade Empire, KotOR, Mass Effect and DA:O they were becoming one-trick-ponies in terms of plot. Didn't stop me from enjoying the games for what they were, though. Then Mass...

Kojima has been talking about making another ZOE for a while. He certainly has interest in the series, and I remember in a magazine interview with him (either OPM or GameInformer) that he does get asked about it often enough that he's been giving it serious thought. That said, I think...

1) Variety of weapons. Spears and thrown weapons please. Beyond that, the standard bows, hammers, swords, axes, daggers and two-handed versions of those weapons are fine. 2) Feats. Talents. Abilities. Basically, a system, like in D&D, The Elder Scroll's non-digital forebear, where you can...

Ouch, man. That sucks hard. You'd think they'd at least have the Warhammer Roleplaying games as well (Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/Deathwatch, or Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying).

Open-world God-game goodness: Black and White plus Minecraft Fast-paced, twitchy first-person goodness: Halo plus Mirror's Edge Ultimate action-RPG goodness: Bayonetta + Kingdom Hearts Slow-paced, cerebral power trip: Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay/Assault on Dark Athena +...

There are aspects of older RPGs that are being taken out in order to make room for new ones, yes. Some of these older elements were depth and complexity. But more importantly, most are elements that added unnecessary complexity that ended up bogging things down and breaking the immersion/flow...

Bound to become a mega-hit my ass. Heavy Rain's predecessor, Indigo Prophecy, didn't do too well critically or commercially, and remains solidly a cult classic. Sony took a major risk, there, bud.

I'm a warforged guy, myself. So much delicious story meat in their home setting of Eberron, and enough built-in conflicts out of the gate to satisfy a Mongol. For those who don't know, Warforged are humanoid, sapient constructs. In Eberron, they were produced en-masse to fill up army slots...

Man, I play just about everything I can get my hands on. Started with 3.5, have gotten into 4E in a big, big way. Tried Pathfinder but haven't put any money down for it. Didn't really fix any of the problems I had with 3.x, just kind of treated some of the symptoms. Also have New World of...

I got the same. Then when I called bullshit and got Team Rocket instead, I was still just as pissed off. I either get a boring villain that I hate or an incompetent villain. *grumble grumble*
