I despised the gameplay in all three Xenosaga games more than any video game I've ever played, but when I look back on them, I think only about how utterly excellent the story was. Don't even get me started on Planescape: Torment. It's my favourite game of all time. In my mind, it's blasphemy...

With the way they so casually shrug the story off as practically inessential compared to the gameplay, I think it's safe to say that they're making it a shooter. Not that we haven't already known this for months now. This is just one never-ending train crash.

Obviously, that kind of humour is completely lost on you. I don't want to derail this thread, but I think it's important you realize that your idea of what people are "supposed" to do is not shared by everyone else. This is especially the case of what you obviously see as "offensive" humour. I...

What's the maximum amount of players in a battle.net game again? 8? Compare that with your average MMOs that number in the thousands. This is only one of the reasons why recurring fees exist. In my experience many people think the way you guys do until they actually get into an MMO and...

I hope you do so for financial reasons. There are a great many good reasons for recurring subscriptions, and there's really no reason to complain about them unless you simply can't afford them.

I love Fallout, I love Blizzard (including WoW), and I love this announcement. Designing an MMO for role-playing is very tough. The more role-playing you allow people, the harder it is to keep the game balanced. This is especially true with regards to PvP. Even in the most severe...

It does seem like he used your interview as a tool to make us look worse. Sure, he did more than others have in the past, but look what happened to some of the points and arguments that you made. They're the same ones that the gaming press has largely been conveniently ignoring every time they...

I don't mind fancy graphics. I don't even think removing text descriptions is necessarily lazy. In fact, Beth doing this is probably a good thing. I love text descriptions when they offer something more than a cursory depiction. Does anyone think Beth are really capable of this? "You see a...

Ooh...that sounds nice. Thanks :D I wish I didn't have to wait until next year...

I tried google. I also tried wiki. With no real keywords besides "new processors" and "9xxx", it's hard to find any conclusive information. Yeesh. If this topic is that disruptive, you can go ahead and delete it.

Or the newest batch of AMD processors? I was told to wait until they came out before I upgrade and that they'd be released Q4 this year, but I'd like to have a little more information. Oh, and are the new processors quad-core? I'm behind in my hardware knowledge. Oh 2, any idea on how much...

I'm sorry for doing this, but could someone clarify a few things for me? Did Bethesda say they wouldn't allow NMA to their showing? If so, did they say it before or after the fact? Also, did they say why they didn't want NMA to come? I'm seeing conflicting stories, and I just want to get this...

Wow. Despite my preference for using melee characters in FO1 and FO2, I completely overlooked that. Goddamnit. Just when I thought Beth had made a reasonable change...

I can see the logic in taking out eye shots. I mean, how often does a bullet destroy an eyeball and not the brain inches away from it? That, to me, is an acceptable loss. Groin shots, however, make sense. The messages you'd get for giving or receiving them were silly (and funny), but that...
