The pig guys are called moblins. The enemies indeed look great, the bosses especially. I also like those big peahats (aka the big hellicopter plant things) with the creepy clown faces, they still scare the crap out of me. The game has a great use of color, it's fun to just look at how things are shaded different depending on the time of day, and I love all the things that go on in the ocean, day to night transitions, wind and clouds, storms.
Anyway, the Zelda games are marketed to a wide demographic that ranges from children to adults, that has been the case ever since the first game. Still, Nintendo did go for a darker look with TP and the upcoming Wii game will follow suit, so I don't see why Matious is complaning. Quote:

Stabbing ganandorf in the head was definitely awesome, no one is arguing that.

Favorite race in Oblivion?
Mine: Dark Elf |
Dude... hard one.
My best character was actually an argonian, which sounds weird but he was seriously powerful and I liked the breathing underwater. Somehow all my saves of him got deleted though grr **** **** ssbgvesg I might have to play some Oblivion soon... I haven't played in a while but I used to be seriously obsessed with that game. |

My favourite char was a .. uhm, red guard was it? I think that was what they're called, fighter oriented species.

Kajiht all the way :P

If anyone has a gamecube and they haven't played Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, you should probably log off and go get it cause that **** is hot.

I played a quarter of the way through Bloodlines maybe 5 years ago until I encountered a game stopping bug and forgot about it but I've been playing through it recently and just completed it yesterday. It's a great game if a bit unstable and I really hope that people's cursory judgement of it isn't tainted by Twilight.
Finished this not too long ago as well... much shorter than the original. |
The bubble popper game on my phone. :)
So fun. |

I bought it off Steam last year but I had to download an unofficial patch to get it to run properly because it was the last game developed by Troika and I don't think it sold enough for Activision to give a shit. Never beat it though, made it close to the end with my Gangrel but I couldn't kill Ming Xiao because I decided to go the neutral path because aligning yourself with anybody will always lead to your death in the World of Darkness. The gameplay was quite adequate but melee weapons and fists were severely favored over guns, meaning unless you put at least 4 dots into your firearms skill you couldn't be guaranteed to shoot straight. The stealth aspect worked pretty well and there was always plenty of ways to go about completing a mission which was cool because it provided a lot of replay value. The game did a great job at depicting a World of Darkness setting where everything was similar to it's real life counterpart, but things were a lot more run down and decrepit which was something the TV show Kindred: The Embraced failed so hard on. Overall the game had so many positive elements in it's favor that it's kind of sad that the game didn't sell that well and the bugs never got fixed. It provided people who aren't familiar with table top RPG's a watered down experience of what many people have been enjoying for over 10 years and even brought some of the main characters from the mythos into play, like the Gangrel archeologist Beckett or the Brujah legends Smiling Jack and Nines Rodriguez. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is easily the best buggy game to ever come out, and one of the best PC Role-Playing games to come out in the last 10 years. |

That game requires absolutely no skill or thought (except for getting the higest score possible), but it's impossibly addictive. |

My impression was that ranged weapons were underpowered until about halfway through the game and became quite OP thereafter. I played a Toreador and towards the end I was using the Steyr Aug with 11 points in ranged and nothing could touch me... I don't think I took any damage at all while clearing out the Sabbat and bosses went down pretty quickly. I agree it's quite replayable since missions can be completed in multiple ways and I'd like to play it again using a stealth/melee Malkavian sometime. I liked the dialog/atmosphere in the game... and the herbal remedies / weapons dealer in Chinatown was hilarious. |

Some of my friends occasionally call me toreador on our email list. ;)
I finished the game with my gangrel .. Tried it a bit again after with a brujah and some other, basically because I wanted to test the other disciplines or what they're called. Celerity was quite fun if I remember correctly. |

I love role-playing games. |
I wanted to play a Toreador from a powergaming perspective for Auspex/Celerity and from a roleplaying perspective because it sounded like they could wander amongst humans without much trouble and were less primal than Gangrel but not as ponsy as Ventrue.
Malkavian would have been my next choice for the interesting dialogue. I think I judged the Nosferatu too harshly when I started out because having finished the game, I think I'd really like to try them out. I'm more favourable of Brujah nowadays because I ended up allying with the Anarchs... and because Jack is such a badass. |

as for the social vs. mathematical aspect of PnP games i tend to prefer dice rolling as well, although i'm great at BS-ing too but you need a really good GM to be able to properly balance things within a group, seems to me you're more likely to roll a natural 20 with 2d6 than end up in a group with one of those. wouldn't mind trying to get into a paper group again someday though i always wanted to get a good Shadowrun campaign going but could never create a plot hook big enough to keep interest back in the day. going back to digital games - anyone have an opinion on the recently announced 2K reboot of the X-Com games? |
Hearing that for the first time I'm extremely sceptical. The original is one of my absolute favourites of all time (despite having never stuck a game out to the very end), but I can't imagine them doing it justice in the remake.
I'm off to do a little research. Edit: So it's an FPS. feck, what's the point of calling it an X-Com game? |

Havent gotten round to playing it but ive recently borrowed it from a mate. |
It's hard as hell. Well parts of it are.
|
I was gonna load up Sim City 3000 at the weekend, until I saw this vid
|
Currently I'm stuck on the God of War series..the way you bash your way through the monsters is truly epic. And the bosses are really huge :D

Isn't the game all about like, dramatic choices? you can't like lose right? |

My mum plays that, isn't it pretty much papi jump but prettier and costs money?
Also, try falldown, that's kinda similar, and pretty fun. |
I have fall down :D
and I have no idea what papi jump is, I got doodle jump free, they did a one day thing where they were allowing it to be downloaded for nowt, yey! :D |
From what I gathered watching my mum play doodlejump, it's the same with less pretty graphics and no powerups, Angry Birds is well worth the 59p I spent on it, I play it more than my 360 + computer combined.

I was playing Angry Birds in the pub recently on a friends iphone. Seriously, i was thinking its almost worth buying one just for that game alone. :-P
|
There's a lite version if you're still unsure, and I think it's only 59p anyway, and papijump is free, but doodlejump may be better, I've only observed my mother playing it.

Bought this off Steam last night (<3) to finally try and beat it instead of getting half way through it and then giving up. I was hoping that a legally bought copy would correct some of the bugs I found in the illegal downloads I got a few years ago, but it just seems that they're present and I'll have to deal with it :/ |
There are a few mods about that will fix some stuff, add some higher resolution textures and what not and do some balance stuff, I cant remember what any are called though, High def texture pack may be one of them?

Fallout 3... I hate it by the way.
